There’s something so wholesome about a giant, intelligent animal with all that raw power but just eats plants and really doesn’t really want any conflict at all. I love gorillas.
The humans had no firearms So they knew at least one was for sure going down and none of them wanted to be that one and the more that left the less likely they'd beat the Gorilla Humans don't really press their strength in numbers advantage if they have it, they're really easily intimidated
@@CiderVG not really one gorrila and humans with weapons could make a fortified position like the vikings or Spartans also sharp weapons will cut through a gorrila really easily the gorilla is practically dead also humans in battle won’t really mind cause Yh you know
It's extremely impressive that the surf shark sponsorship section genuinely seemed like it ended about five times during it because the transition into each feature of it was so smooth and somehow tied in with gorillas, well done!
I love how James’ style brings out that, apparently after millions of years, we humans and gorillas still aren’t that different after all. Still sleep with our parents as kids for protection and acceptance. Still train physically and socially with siblings. Still leave the comfort of home and work to support a family once we mature. Similar familial roles. Hits close man.
@CrestedSaguaro520 It's actually a good thing because unlike our gorilla cousins, our species is severely overpopulated. Thus, the less humans reproducing, the better.
The intimidation scene is completely out of this world, who wouldn't run?? For all their strength they're very restrained, probably more than us lol. Another awesome video, thanks for your hard work!
A lot of animals can rationalize getting actual injuries just makes foraging/hunting more difficult, so if they can opt out they will. Doesn't mean they dont beat each other up pretty good and sometimes overreach...
Man a ton of respect to you for the great research. In case somebody missed it, 9:45 is a reference to a scientific study of gorillas using tools, being one of the most amazing spottings the use of a stick by a female gorilla to check if she was about to throw in a shallow or deep river. KUDOS.
Loving the more detailed life of animals with connecting story points, like the poking dad, farming wheat, and even the fellow alpha brother reunion. Feels like a good story with a connected world
Learning that silverbacks have memories reaching back 26 yrs makes 12:24 feel more melancholy. Wonder how many Gorilla's, in their own way of course, had those thoughts when they enter their final years
@_paz_888 what a stupid misconception. WE DIDNT EVOLVE FROM CHIMPS! We have a common ancestor with chimps!! (And also gorillas, but chimps are closer)
All these videos made me realise that almost every creature have same growth: They being born Being a child Being aware that sibling/parents can eat you You learn throughout the life Leaving Parents making them proud Finding female Having a baby Growing a baby Cycle continues to next generations You get eaten by others/dies
As a gorilla you must learn additional skills such as: - Luggage testing - Barrel throwing - Climbing very high buildings - Occasionally fight large atomic breathed lizards.
I was looking at your older videos. They did halfway decent. As soon as you're doing these animated animal videos your views skyrocketed. Me and my wife can't stop watching the orangutan when it's so funny.
I don't know how I stumbled into the part of youtube that is all guys with doodle avatars and European accents explaining the lifecycles of various animals but I'm so glad I did.
This was hilarious bro. Especially how you slipped that surfshark ad in 11/10 execution! Also, the little gorillas wondering why dad is always tired, and dad having to flex all the time because he's a harem protagonist. So glad the algorithm delivered this to me.
these are just so intersting to watch and learn all about the animals, i knew gorillas were plenty smart but i didn't know they were that smart, truly an amazing channel
As a gorilla there’s an extremely low chance that your mum (or another member of your troop) adopts baby that belongs to a just as rare species of bald ape
Fun Fact: in the original book, they’re not gorillas They’re a fictional species of ape known as the “Mangani” They’re rumored to be related to the Almasty of Himalayan folklore
Rare nothing, humans make up 34% of all mammalian biomass on the planet. Livestock make up 62%, and all wild mammals put together make up only 4%. The vast majority of living primates pay taxes, and that's not an exaggeration.
Thank you for making those videos! Very informative and fun to watch Would love a "live as an owl" thing. Their anatomy is funky, they are hated by every other bird, they will eat figuratively everything smaller than them. Even that is a stretch. And boi... a screeching owl is nightmare fuel.

Same, they make me happy lol. They just out there living their best life
Humans are like Chimps
Gorillas are god’s chosen primates. Truly the Chads of the Great Apes, not like the virgin human and chimpanzee species.
Strong enough to be gentle
They can be dangerous it's just people don't stick around them enough to make them react that way but cool animal
RIP baby gorilla with glasses. Gone but never forgotten.
I was going say something about those broken glasses 😂
10:42 Sometimes humans don't give up so easily, especially if they are armed, in a group and driven by revenge. That is one lucky gorilla.
They’re lucky it’s a gorilla and not a chimp
The humans had no firearms
So they knew at least one was for sure going down and none of them wanted to be that one and the more that left the less likely they'd beat the Gorilla

The only youtuber that actually manages to make ads fun
My sentiments exactly
At what stage do we kidnap a blonde woman and then fight Godzilla?
A few steps after Armored.
You're being racist
Step 1 is to go to central park zoo and wait for a toddler to fall into your enclosure.
Soon…
@@WhiteRaceisOphow
I never realized gorillas relied so heavily on VPNs.😂 Such a smooth and hilarious way to integrate the sponsor.
Agreed. One of the very few ads I'd never want to skip.
Dad needs a break. Main Mom, take the family to visit the cousins. You'll have fun in the mountains.
9:52 the shrek reference is crazy
"Get out of my swamp you gorilla's!!!" -Shrek (definitely a movie quote)
It's perfect

Dad still sleeps through your entire childhood
"Still leave the comfort of home and work to support a family."
I wish that were more true but it just isn't for most in the modern age. 🤯
@@CrestedSaguaro520 the life of the modern age is a subversion of what has been a constant of the human experience for thousands of years

The silverback dad just being a massively chill and lazy guy, I love him.
Not only are the videos fun, but you even went the extra mile to make the sponsor fun. Really appreciate you and your channel man
Is that why the zoo wifi always sucks? The gorillas are hogging all the bandwidth.
They're watching Gorilla's gone wild
Wake up Wake up there’s a new James Tolhand!!
Also can you do your life as a hyena, I think it’d be a funny video

So excited

The bit about finally understanding why ‘Dad is always grumpy’ or why ‘Dad is always sleeping’ goes HARD after having your own kids. 😂
1:56 he is the gorillis gorilla that ever gorilled.
Sam o'nella is the best
One of the gorillas of the time
The species family and genus are all gorilla so gorilla gorilla gorilla 😂
My favourite part is when the gorilla said its gorilling time and gorillad all over the place
Some ideas:Your life as a orca, your life as a african painted hound, your life as a elefant, your life as a jaguar
Good ideas but it's spelled elephant

Your wish is partially granted.
i love that the gorrila used a stick to see how deep the water is, because recently it was seen that a female gorrila did the same

I hate it when I'm an old silverback gorilla and I accidentally set the jungle on fire during a gender reveal party.
WHAT!

I dont know why this videos humour is comforting. As a brit it must be the 120% of non stop sarcasm that just makes this so funny.
Funny implementation of the ad during the video, I really found it funny. Thanks for your work! Keep'em coming.
This was surprisingly very peaceful.
Bro the shrek bit was so good
The shrek recreation was just **chefs kiss**
The ad implementation was superb
Yeah, that was one of very, very few sponsorship spiels that I not only watched all the way through, I even laughed at. Well done.
Learning that silverbacks have memories reaching back 26 yrs makes 12:24 feel more melancholy. Wonder how many Gorilla's, in their own way of course, had those thoughts when they enter their final years

Definitely the most peaceful/none-violent life so far.
I wish we evolved from gorillas instead of chimps, wtf
@_paz_888 what a stupid misconception. WE DIDNT EVOLVE FROM CHIMPS! We have a common ancestor with chimps!! (And also gorillas, but chimps are closer)
10:06 the shrek reference is immaculate
Ikr lol
No one does this genre of animal videos quite like you.
Even if those copycats out there try, this is the best channel
There's a really good copycat channel called Dinzo, with slightly better animation
All these videos made me realise that almost every creature have same growth:
They being born
Being a child
Being aware that sibling/parents can eat you
You learn throughout the life
Leaving Parents making them proud
Finding female
Having a baby
Growing a baby
Cycle continues to next generations
You get eaten by others/dies
As a gorilla you must learn additional skills such as:
- Luggage testing
- Barrel throwing
- Climbing very high buildings
- Occasionally fight large atomic breathed lizards.
kidnapping princesses and plumber fighting.
There's like a dozen channels copying you, but you're still the best
They are all good
bro doesnt know inspiration exists
so if I start making minecraft videos nobody else should?
His British accent ruins it
@@ikbalsumerkan5000 If you're doing the exact same thing as someone with no changes at all, you're not inspired, you're a thief.
Good video, nice advertising. Ignore everyone which talks bad about it. Your doing it to make the channel even better, so tysm! ❤
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the extra support! Glad to hear that you’re liking the videos!
@@Jamestoland Please do a video on, your life as a intercontinental ballistic missile
@@Jamestolanddo you know people are copying you
The way he makes sponsored ads not wanted to be skipped is perfect and I like it
there’s so many youtubers out nowadays trying to steal your style, however nothing could beat the bangers that flow out from here
literally Dinzo
This man has done the impossible, even nature documentaries have not captured the moment gorillas sign up to surfshark🔥
Can you please do "Life as a human"? I genuinely don't know how those things live
Hands down I don’t think I saw a sponsored post more entertaining than this. Well done sir
Internet historian is the only one that comes to mind lmao his ads are great
It's funny how I'm not even skipping the sponsored part of this guys videos
Ah yes, an important part of gorilla survival, the surfshark vpn
Fun Fact: All gorilla's have a unique shaped nose
gorillas seem so chill
I had to double check if their scientific names were actually "Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla." There's even a "Gorilla Gorilla."
Putting more information into the advertisment was the smartest move any creator can make
I was looking at your older videos. They did halfway decent. As soon as you're doing these animated animal videos your views skyrocketed. Me and my wife can't stop watching the orangutan when it's so funny.
Your life as a human next
Nah, that’s too horrifying
Those people are cringe.
That's just sad
Look, I dont wanna brag, but I am one them 😎😎😎
Yeah, how'd i screw it up so bad?
Normally I skip the sponsors but he sneaked it in the story, witch made it pretty entertaining
I don't know how I stumbled into the part of youtube that is all guys with doodle avatars and European accents explaining the lifecycles of various animals but I'm so glad I did.
life as gorilla ijust life as a human but in 480p.
The dad sleeping through the daughters life had me dead 😭😭😭😭
liking your own comment, cool.
I thought for sure the farmers were gonna kill our guy. I'm glad i was wrong.
Proud of you buddy!
@SwitchFlipMan Thanks Dad!
Just some corrections: Gorillas get weaned between the ages of 3 and 4. A 4 year old gorilla still sleeps with mum sometimes.
I love the fact that the Gorillas are using Banana phones as opposed to apple. Lol
1:35 "he never wants to play, just eats and sleeps all day" damn, add in drinking and he's just like a human dad 💀
James they trying to steal yo shit bro. Format and design and all
"Your arms are now massive"
*still has the same stick arms from when you were a baby*
I'd suggest "Your life as a Bonobo" but you probably don't want your channel demonitized.
Does anyone else get a deep sense of peace while watching this guy's vids?
1:23 I was listening in the background and actually jumped from the knock sound.
Dude fr I was like there’s a ghost in my house
Actually thought one of the machines I run broke lmaooo almost left a gorilla in my pants myself
Same lol
I legit panicked for a sec I'm glad it wasn't just me 💀
fr 😭😭😭
You're still the best channel of this kind. No other comes close.
Cuz hes the og
You should make one 'Your Life as a Human' where you're actually another animal experiencing the life of a human.
Genius and underrated comment
Genius and underrated comment
"Baby gorillas with glasses" is such a cool name
*it was*
probably the first time in my life that i have willingly sat through an entire ad. amazing execution.
"Your life as a human" coming when?
He already made that (Orang-Utan)
He made the ad unskippable by putting content into it 😭😂😂
Your life as a human next video
I love how the gorillas cell phone has a banana instead of an apple 😂
Dad gorilla just casually bringing a laptop out to connect to a vpn out of nowhere is absolutely a king move 🦍
Was... was James hiding gorilla facts in the Surfshark advertisement?
Interesting maneuver.
"Your arms are now massive" while looking at a literal stick arm😂😂😂
6:42
“Your arms are now massive.”
Meanwhile him literally having stick figures arms
This was hilarious bro. Especially how you slipped that surfshark ad in 11/10 execution! Also, the little gorillas wondering why dad is always tired, and dad having to flex all the time because he's a harem protagonist. So glad the algorithm delivered this to me.
i just love when a youtuber incorporates their channel's theme with their ads 😂
That sponsored segment was top-notch
So many Channels are replicating these videos but yours are far superior
Please never stop making these!
I'd like a "Life as a Human" video at point.
Annoys me how many channels have just decided to copy you. I hope you get the engagement you deserve.
It's like LukeTheNotable's 100 Days challenge. Once people see how viral an idea is, everyone wants a piece of that pie. Smh...
sam o nella style stuff too
Armored Gorillas would be terrifying and a good band name
The daughter bit was hilarious.
All this to end up shot trying to save a kid that fell in your enclosure
Probably the most chill video I’ve seen from this series.
Gorilla Dad being willing to learn how to read, use a computer, and book his gorilla family a flight just to get 5min of peace is peak dad behavior 😂😂
0:49 This really reminds me of how we belong in the same Primate order
I was not expecting a Shrek reference in my Gorilla educational video . . .
