The confusion is warranted. "Daddy Long Legs" is commonly used to describe 3 different kinds of animals; cellar spiders; harvestmen, which are arachnids which resemble spiders, but aren't actually spiders; and crane flies.
I grew up in California calling cellar spiders “daddy long legs”. Then I moved to Oregon and there is not a cellar spider to be found but harvestmen _everywhere_ I had never seen one until I moved here. They are far less creepy than cellar spiders.
I know his eyes are darting back and forth reading from a script, but the idea that it could just be the wikipedia page for daddylonglegs makes it 100x more funny
"Does it have a head?" "No." "Does it have a Thorax, or maybe an abdomen?" "No." "... What is it?" "Well, it is like maybe a Q-Tip head, with some frozen spider-web leggies." "... Great!"
This is the first Flula video I ever saw. I came across it completely by accident before I knew who Flula was. I adored it then, and it's possibly still my favourite Flula video now. This was the day I fell in love...
I remember watching this in 2011 and oh god I couldn't stop laughing. 4 years down the track I'm rewatching all his idiom videos and laughing just as hard
@babydeamon46 4 more years have passed now. Sense you wrote that reply to your comment in history. How are you? I hope your alive well and safe and enjoying life. Much love- a random in Melbourne Australia.
You are correct in saying it’s not a spider. It’s an arachnid, but it’s missing an abdomen, it’s just a cephalothorax. With that being said, I have no idea why it’s called that. It’s technically called a “harvestman”. Not sure why they call it that too…. Oh well.
I love you Flula. My son recommended your channel. Flula reminds me of the funny times we, (former fiance from Iceland and I had explaining colloquialisms). Met so many people back then from Germany and Czek Republic that are fabulous. God bless you, Flula. 😊
I discovered him earlier this year but it was from RUclips, I had no idea he was in pitch perfect 2 and Suicide Squad and stuff. I didn’t even notice him in the suicide squad sequel. But yeah, he deserved to be famous. I love him.
I saw this typed out on tumblr years ago and it didn't say who actually said it and just now i'm finding out it was Flula I'm blown away and also thrilled.
i only ever watched this video once before now and it had such an impact on me that i was able to instantly recognize who the guy on the pitch perfect 2 ad was
I cannot believe that you voiced Comfortable Doug.... One of my favourite videos that has lived in my head for years and now in one of my favourite shows, too
Stuff like this makes me wonder if he scripts it to be funny or if he's so stupid he actually can't figure it out. Either way, Flula is love, Flula is life.
it never occurred to me until you brought it up, but it IS a very strange name LOL. we have cats, not furry cute legs. we have turtles, not scaly hard shell. we have squirrels, not squeeky fluffy tails. then we have daddy long legs lol.
I think people are missing how he came to this realization and felt so passionate to film at 3:32am.

I love watching Flula's confusion videos. It gives me, a born American, perspective into how weird we actually are.
11 years and this is still my favorite video ever
I love the mental image of natures carpenters creating this creature without supervision and then having to explain what they made...
1:07 "Who is building the daddy long legs??"
0:33 only referring to them as Father Long Legs now 😂😂😂

Here 10 years later to comment because I still randomly think of this video and how great it is. Thank you ❤️😂
If nightblogging was a person, it'd be Flula. The people of Tumblr weren't lying when they said they were dying.
So true.
Omg I forgot nightblogging was a word
2021 and this is STILL my go-to video for a laugh.
Ah yes the videos that are from 11yrs ago popping up on my yt page, keep it coming
Haven't seen this in a few years and oh my god I'm crying
How does daddy long legs make life?
12 years later, still funny asf
This is the first video I watched of the man that has become my favorite youtuber. You are the reason I started my channel. 💜
very interesting recommendation
Just watched the trailer for Pitch Perfect 2, and I'm almost 100% sure this guy is in it.
Logan Bates I checked IMDb 'cause I thought the same thing - and it is! :D
It is him!!! I knew the moment I saw him. Only reason I even saw the movie.
I'm laughing harder than I probably should right now. XD
same
same bro i feel like a idiot for how hard im laughing at this shit lmfao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely love these videos! they make me laugh every time x)
Years later and this still kills me.
“It’s not a grasshoppping”
Couldn’t agree more my friend.
Coughing break. hahahahahaah love how he says coffee
One of my favorite videos of all time. Never gets old! 😂😂😂
I never realized what a strange language English was, until Flula came along.
The greatest recommendation of all time
Don't you just love when it's time for your coughing break from work?
Always leave me feeling refreshed
That is not a spider that is not like grasshopping loool
Loved you in Pitch Perfect 2! Keep up the good work!
You are correct in saying it’s not a spider. It’s an arachnid, but it’s missing an abdomen, it’s just a cephalothorax.
With that being said, I have no idea why it’s called that. It’s technically called a “harvestman”. Not sure why they call it that too…. Oh well.
Scientist 1: we should call it a “long legs” because it has long legs
Scientist 2: Hmm, not kinky enough
I love this because it reminds me that Germans are the funniest people I've ever come across

nature carpenters
Anyone else see these before he got famous? I remember being so shocked and excited that he was a major character in Pitch Perfect 2
I discovered him earlier this year but it was from RUclips, I had no idea he was in pitch perfect 2 and Suicide Squad and stuff. I didn’t even notice him in the suicide squad sequel. But yeah, he deserved to be famous. I love him.
“Dat is not like a grass hopping”😂😂😂

He is a scholar and a gentleman

Where was mother nature? Maybe sleeping or was the coughing break? LOL! I love the accent, man! You make me laugh!
Flula, dear, Daddy Long Legs is just what young female spiders call their tall sugar daddies.
Hey I just wanted to let you know that we have almost the same icon. And your comment is pretty funny! 😂
i only ever watched this video once before now and it had such an impact on me that i was able to instantly recognize who the guy on the pitch perfect 2 ad was
He saw no problem with cockroaches. Went straight for daddy long legs.
WHO IS BUILDING THE DADDY LONG LEGS 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Burst out laughing from the 1st damn second 😂 strong intro
I just died from laughter.
Oh my god I just woke up the whole house at 2am with my laughter.
Kaleem what does God have to do with this
Daddy long legs implies the existence of a Mummy long legs
wait until he hears about bird names..
English name of しま えなが 😭
Yall motherfuckers really named this majestic creature peecock
It's the German dude from the pitch perfect II teaser!

Is this Germany's answer to Karl Pilkington?
was just going to say this!! reminds me so much of karl's "do we need 'em?"
Q-tip head is scarily accurate.
remember when this came out im still laughing 🤦♂️😭
In order for a daddy long legs to make a life, he needs the help of a mommy long legs, and they need to love each other very much
From seeing Flula in 2011 and 2012, then seeing him in Pitch Perfect 2 with not a single one of my friends knowing who he is makes me proud :')
Germans are very logical, they call a tortoise a shield frog
Stuff like this makes me wonder if he scripts it to be funny or if he's so stupid he actually can't figure it out.
Either way, Flula is love, Flula is life.
+Naiara Young are you dumb?
Saw this when it was first released, and I've never forgotten the spider web leggies part. Permanent fixture in my life since that day.
Got this recommended to me in 2024 and can confirm they are still called daddy long legs
1:52 Me when I look at western civilisation
Huh
Flula is just mad because daddy long legs should be reserved for him
He's like a German Karl Pilkington
R&B artists named this bug.
Haven't watched this in years, laughed so hard!!
