Maybe
Ze My man, i've been watching you since 99' . thank you for the laughs and spirit!
Pleease Frank tell me where I can find the music you use as an Outro/when showing the links to the clips you used.. been trying to find it like forever. And great video btw, as always, keep it up :)
huzzzzahhhhh. dear ze. another pleasure to behold. thank you. x
also i like your 'strongbad' voice
"But doctors find all, sorry, butt doctors..." The lead up to this joke was years long. AMAZING.
This payoff was the best reward of the video
Finally! 😂😂
Came here to post this, butt was.... sorry, but, was beaten to it.
I laughed so loud at that I may have scared the dogs.
the but/butt jokes are one of the best parts of these video's! 😂
The inversion of the but/butt joke in this episode is pure art.
But doctors find all- I'm sorry - Butt doctors find all sorts of things in their examinations.
It was perfect.
**spoiler**
3:51 I had to rewatch it a couple times 😂😂
(Edit: Spoiler warning)
Took me a moment to realize what he did there, Zefrank is a comedy genius imo.
Finally, the running gag pays off
An actual decade of setup went into this joke. THAT is dedication. ZeFrank is a national treasure
what was the set up ?
what setup??
@@Brigtzen a common joke in his past videos is "butt doctors, sorry, but doctors" and he did the reverse here.
@@davidegaruti2582 a common joke in his past videos is "butt doctors, sorry, but doctors" and he did the reverse here.
This isn't the first time he's reversed the but and butt though.
Creepy Dave needs his own Netflix series.
YES! And Messes With Fishies Bird has to be a recurring character.
YASSSSS
@@evientually Oh Gawd, I already knew that video of the bird blocking off the daylight, but it reaches a whole new level through ZeFrank’s voiceover. 😩
Creepy Dave is just out there trying his best. He owns his reality. Inspirational
Creepy Dave looks like he's wearing an old timey aviator's cap
3:57 I cannot express enough how much I appreciate the literal YEARS of setup this joke has had before finally hitting us with the punchline of "but doctors- sorry, BUTT doctors" it was absolutely worth it.
He was in it for the long con, & he pulled it off flawlessly.
Came to comment the exact same thing (and I did, before I noticed yours)
I'm glad to see everyone appreciating this
Слава Великому Советскому Союзу!
th-cam.com/video/is3H9niDhzw/w-d-xo.html
YES I thought the same lol
That heron needs his own show.
“Is nighttime; I mess with the feeshes.”
“Nighttime… _Daytime!!!_ Nighttime… _Daytime!!!”_
The best!
It’s like if Borat was a bird. Oh, he should do a voice over for a pig and a mouse and call it a ‘Boar-rat’ impression.
@@Xalerdane Wanna play a game of DAYTIME NIGHTTIME?!
😂😂😂
The little fishy looked so happy that his water maze was appreciated and that he got to care for a lot of little babies 🥰
Point of order: *bebbes. ;)
9:27 😂
He made a sand mandala! Amazing. Mandalas are everywhere in nature
Bebes
Underwater crop circle
I love how when Frank gets giddy about something (like a ladybug colonoscopy, for example), his Morgan Freeman impression completely falls by the wayside. It's adorable.
And then a great narration of a bird too.
Petition for Jerry to get an award
I second this
🎉🎉🎉
Best Worst Co-worker
Petition for jerry to stop being a dingus
Jerry posted this under an alt
In the category “Most outstanding animal channel” we would happily give it the ZeFrank
Слава Великому Советскому Союзу!
th-cam.com/video/is3H9niDhzw/w-d-xo.html
I second that, he's truly an outstanding animal.
@JZ's BFF If you ignore emotional damage. His jokes can be brutal with the poor critters, sometimes. But delightful to us apes.
Its him or Tier Zoo. both are exceptional
Casual Geographic is also very good. It's a tough category for sure.
That small “I did it!” at 9:25 was adorable
11:40 I am so impressed with Ze Frank including scientific citations in his videos. Research is a long, arduous task. It’s wonderful to see the scientists credited with their hard work!
We certainly appreciate it!
Science Hippies rock! This IA why we love ZeFrank.
I like how Frank spent 14 years educating people, still has fun doing it and doesnt look like he's gonna retire anytime soon
He is cooking
It was all so he could say "butt scientists"
@@MelvinDorkus “butt doctors…”
6:02
Ze pronounces his name, again, ‘cause no one likes to be called by their surname.
Noooooo, it's not apparent at all that he's gonna be one really weird old guy.
It's ok though, he's my kind of weird.
"But Doctors, sorry, Butt Doctors"
For once, he had to correct himself backwards.
Fits the theme.
A setup rivaling “Or so the German Shepherds would have us believe.”
Would that be....ass backwards?
it's almost like he reversed himself into that one
He Uno-reverse carded himself 😂
The part with the puffer fish is absolutely fascinating and the most adorable thing I've seen, mating wise
@@patricknoll81 but do they do the cheeky nibblies?
@@LathosZan No, but I looked it up again last night. No nibbles, but they go all in for sure!
The nest is just the first step to get the lady to pay attention. Next, she takes a seat which has been prepared for her. The male does a dance and presents her with gifts until she allows him to smash.
The dances are pretty wild. No cheek-biting, but clearly choreographed 🤣
Getting a bs job is a fascinating mating process too
🤣🤣🤣The bird messing with the fishes . . . Ze, your voice, I can’t even . . . 🤣🤣🤣
“I mess wit de fishez”
The bird adlibs are always epic
beurds
Its pretty cool being me
“Beeyurds”
istg zefrank is the bird whisperer
I could use a video of just this
i love how ze has dubbed all birds to be old creepy italian men
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he sounded like Al Pacino.
If we could understand bird speak this is just what they sound like. Simple science
For some reason I saw them as Puerto Rican.
Edit: I think it's because I used to work with a Puerto Rican guy who was a lot like this, and I think his name really was David.
Pasta noodles are a kind of worm, if you think about it.
Creepy Dave actually sounds a bit French, imo.
6:17 For anyone anyone who came back for Creepy Dave.
Zefrank has unlocked the joy of the “gruff old foreign guy” voice
Ze Frank needs a birdfeeder with a camera pointed at it. Then just narrate an entire series of their comings and goings. With special guest star Squirrel!
The reversal of the but/butt gag was pure genius.
"and just like the human clitoris, it takes a team of scientists to find it."
I had to pause the clip, I was laughing so hard!!
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah! ....they had the expertise not to look behind the ear.
🤣🤣🤣
"It's a *sensitive* topic"
"Ask for directions, don't just circle around until someone asks you to leave"
A man finally admitting it! Thank you.
I sincerely want an audiobook narrated by Creepy Dave.
“Scientists discovered a functioning clitoris on Dolphins.”
I didn’t wake up this morning to hear that 💀
... functioning....so...have they found nonfunctional ones 🤨😨😒😶
@@TragoudistrosMPH Even worse, how did they find out that they functioned...
@@SunGawdRa by acting on their intrusive thoughts and the science folks being like "sure, go fingerbang dolphins for science".
But in seriousness, dolphins have sex for fun, and researching/dissecting naturally deceased dolphins they've found that the clitoris is very developed and sensitive in ways like in humans in ways only used for pleasure.
@@NoctisIgnem The fact that if you consider this really could have happened if you consider previous science experiments, it becomes kinda sad.
But Fingerbang Dolphins for Science sounds like a great band name, so it loops back to funny.
I am still not awake enough at 1o'clock in the morning to hear this!
I've never felt so sorry for a ladybug. Also, that stuff about the California blackworm was really interesting. Amazing that they can form a single gooey mass like that.
That beetle was traumatized for sure.
The California blackworms are on the evolutionary path to lekgolo worms from Halo.
I want to know what happened to the ladybird.
@@watershipup7101 I wanna know how it GOT there.
@@BeckyNosferatu My guess is dude was squatting in the woods to alleviate nature's call, butt got near a blade of grass and in goes the ladybird beetle!
The little proud ‘i did it’ from the pufferfish really broke me
Was having a bad day. Herons are my favorite animal. The skit with the one hiding the sun from the fish had me dying and then you follow up with creepy Dave. LoL. Thanks.
The voicework on the birds was hilarious 😂
That bird of paradise at the end put the biggest smile on my face. Brilliant work.
STRONGBAD!
"You pay by the hole, not the size of it." - Ze Frank, 2023
The post-credits scene was worth the price of admission... thanks Ze! 😂😂
Thank you.. I almost missed it. And man I would have been mad if I had!
That last bird was channeling some serious strong bad vibes. I was expecting him to start talking about checking his emails
Everyone in the comments is saying it's like the transition point between Strong Bad turning into Senor Cardgage and I couldn't agree more and that makes me so SO happy
That bit with the heron is the single funniest thing ever. And the rest of the video isn't far behind.
My sides hurt from that bit 😂😂😂
Him being randomly Eastern European just has me lmao
@@MrsStormtrooper He's Dracula. A creature of the night.
@@m____w____6981 Butt, I mean but, the other birds have the same accent!
Listening to Ze Frank entertain himself is one of my favorite past times.
Well, I guess he has a present for you x-D
@@tilmanvogel2387 That's not what I meant, Jerry. *sigh* Whatever.
@@armartin0003 ^-^
The butt joke was flawless, the setup, the execution, the delivery, all of it flawless
Even in the privacy of my own home, I feel like I'm doing something wrong by listening to this out loud.
The but/butt joke floored me. I had a fist-pump-esque moment celebrating him bringing home the reversal so flawlessly
I'd watch an entire video of Creepy Dave's shenanegans!
Me too.
😅😅😅 same
I'd watch an entire 7 seasons of Creepy Dave
Creepy Dave is the closest to a Noel Fielding character I've seen in a while. We need a Creepy Dave and Old Gregg team-up!
I was getting a Gru vibe.
I love the “It’s pretty cool being me” line. Didn’t know Ze offered self defense classes.
"But doctors-- sorry, Butt Doctors--"
well that's different than usual
Absolutely, conditioning us across multiple videos just to flip the script on us.
"just like the human clit. they need a team of scientists to find it" omg crying. That's hilarious.
A great quote from the relevant Wikipedia page, "Due to it being frequently omitted from, or misrepresented in, historical and contemporary anatomical texts, it was also subject to a continual cycle of male scholars claiming to have discovered it."
And by continual, the writer apparently means something like "for the extent of recorded history".
Though in fairness, there have also been scientists (or pre-science equivalents) who have argued basically modern interpretations all along. Their ideas were just unpopular among their peers until quite recently.
First time I found mine I didn’t leave my room for a week 😂.
It’s only hilarious if you’re not a female. 😑
😂
@@avianna7738 it's only hilarious, because it's not that hard to find, if you're attentive and actually care about your partners happiness. But yes some males are definitely letting the side down
@@SWISS-1337 "Not that hard to find" I mean, I'm sure there are women who have small ones, but it's about the same size as a typical male nipple and it's right there at the top. How do you overlook that?
Creepy Dave is the hero we need right now. 🖤
Maybe not the hero we want...
Maybe not the hero we need...
But definitely the hero we deserve.
Honestly, I'm impressed that ladybug stayed inside given the bowel prep one is required to undergo prior to the procedure. Like hanging on to a Palm tree in a tsunami 😧
“Everything sounds like a fart if you slow it down enough” is the kind of facts I need in my life. Keep up the great work Ze Frank
I missed the scientific citation for that part...
Those bird dubs are so on point that zefrank could lend his voice to animated movies.
We all wish we had a science teacher like you in school.
Few things are better than Zefrank tryihg to hold back laughing at his own jokes.
There aren't enough thumbs up buttons to express how awesome this video is. Especially with Creepy Dave.
😔 ... 😂
Creepy Dave looked like the real life inspiration for The Skeksis from The Dark Crystal.
Nice pfp, where's it from
@@l.psimer6124 Thanks! I made it.
@@davidvento5481 awwwww!!! I just noticed your sad emoji haha it's adorable. You're not creepy, prom prom
You know my 5 year old has learned so much about the animal kingdom watching your videos. The notes from her kindergarten teacher are a small price to pay for the knowledge 😂
What I wouldn’t give to see those notes lmao
We need to see the notes
... as the cops pull up to your door wanting to know wtf Jerry is!!?? 🤣
You must be one of those science hippies, drbob phd.
"Your daughter felt the need to specify the difference between "but" and "butt". She blamed Jerry."
Ze Frank is the David Attenborough of the adults who act like children ^.^
The Creepy Dave voice is sooo good :D
The fact that Creepy Dave is now his own thing makes me smile
I need an entire video of Ze Frank narrating birds of paradise doing their lil dances
I would pay money for that.
@@carolineyuen3247 Me too.
Voicing the bird "Little fishies, u afraid of the dark" had me 🤣 ..perfect timing& intonation! Oh and thnx for dolphin clit fact, made my day 🙏
Iz night time now go to sleep
right like I love the nuanced jokes too but that whole segment had me laughing the hardest 😂😂😂
@@soniathefan yeah, same^^
I love the voices of the birds. I can't tell if it's a Kazakhstan accent, a Hispanic accent, or Dracula from Hotel Transylvania. GOLD.
I have lost count of how many times I have watched just the Creepy Dave section, I love him!! I lose my sh@t every time!!! Perfect voice & timing. Please can we see him again, I could watch him all week!! Thanks guys. XXX
Yes! More Creepy Dave please!!
If you’d like to look up the species, Creepy Dave is a Cinereous Vulture (Aegypius monachus), the largest living Accipitrid. The “Creepy Dave” walk is actually an intimidation/defensive posture they use to keep other scavengers at bay around a food source. Another species, the Lappet-faced Vulture (Torgos tracheliotos), also does this, and their walk is just as amusing! XD
If it helps, Zefrank’s posted a bunch of shorts where Creepy Dave talks about his best favorite animals, highly recommend, they’re an absolute treat
"Forehand! Backhand! Yeah, it's pretty cool being me..." That bird at the end plus the fishing heron with the "now, it's nighttime," gag cracked me up. I love that part of these videos!
9:22 he does look happy 😁
"I did it" ❤
This was the line that made me absolutely burst.
The pufferfish: 👁👄👁...Yay
4:36
I swear to god, the joke about the ladybug turning around and saying, “well, as long as you’re here…” too fucking funny.
My guy you had so much fun with this one! 😂 I thank y'all 🎉
I think we can all agree that Ze Frank is the hero we both want and need.
True Facts. One of the only channels where I can be amused, grossed out, or just plain surprised, but I am always fascinated.
“You pay by the hole, not the size of it.”
Words to live by.
Brilliant comedic writing as always, Ze! Those birds with the wacky wings were my favorite!
The nighttime bird voice is the best 😂
I died 😂😂😂😂 “Eez nighttime!” I can’t
I can’t describe how hilarious this was, especially the birds with their weird voices❤️🤗🐝
All the voices sounded vaguely like Tony Montana: "Say hello to my leetle friend."
I’d watch a half hour of just Creepy Dave. So good!
That is one kick-a$$ ladybug 🐞 😊
This is literally the ONLY award show I look forward to watching nowadays. Thank you Zefrank!
It's one of two award shows I have seen in 2023. The other was done by the Babylon Bee.
“But doctors-sorry: Butt doctors…” 😂 that was a unique and original twist on the old stand-by.
I find it adorable that you warn us that this isn't meant for children. I've been watching your videos every night before bedtime with my toddlers this week. Don't judge me, I can't do The Gruffalo anymore (it's like at a Coldplay concert when they let the audience take over. He finishes the sentences for me) and Horton hears a Who is too long to be a bedtime story for children who can't read to themselves yet. The highlight tonight was the farting worms. Thank goodness, that's all they understood.
“Creepy Dave made a pee pee, whoops!”
*I feel attacked*
No, no, Jerry’s clitoris joke was spot-on 🤣
it's a sensitive subject!
If only it wasn't!
my life has been exponentially better after discovering this series
No matter how bad my day is this guy always makes me laugh . Thank you : )
I was having a difficult day, then I came to play some music and was greeted with this miracle of education. My day and/or life is now complete.
I love these little compilations of random animal facts. I wonder how many science hippies make funny voices for the animals while they're setting up microphones for their butts.
All the science hippies that I know certainly do!
Eating dinner while watching this. Creepy Dave nearly made me spit my food out, I was laughing so hard.
I so badly want to see raw footage of Ze Frank viewing these clips for the first time, and/or how many takes he has to make for really good material, lololol. Love your videos, Ze Frank!
6:40 absolutely lost it, I hope we see more of Creepy Dave
Ze Frank you mad genious. "Butt doctors" Is my favorite running joke of all time and you just inverted it... just beautiful.
4:26
*Lemmiwinks song starts playing.
11:57 is why I watch these videos the randomness and creativity of Zefrank is just awesome 😂
Good to know Strong Bad is still getting voice over gigs after all these years.
Happy to see Strong Bad has not been forgotten
@@elusivemayfly7534 Amazed to see people even remember. Still waiting for SBEmail #210.
He was busy writing for Yo Gabba Gabba!, Gravity Falls and even appeared as "Carl" on "The Aquabats! Super Show!" but the luchador mask and boxing gloves gave him away.
OMG! Yes. Strong bad...reading the emails!
@@timber72 Same here! Some of his quotable quotes are still in my rotation. Many from Teen Girl Squad 😂
3:58 Also, love that he turned the butt/but joke around on us this time. 😂
Or so the German Shepherds would have us believe.
That bird at the end was PHENOMENAL 😂😂😂
Looking forward to a whole series of Strong Bad Birds
I watched a horrible episode of Goosebumps as a child and developed a fear of worms for a long time. A worm tangle would truly have been nightmare fuel for me and I have trouble looking at it now. Thank you for a full body shudder today.
Straight out of stranger things.
4:48 The anthropomorphized birds parts were definitely my favorite!
6:17 , 11:57
I have no words to describe how incredible this video is. Please never stop making these!!!!!!
Whoa, those worms make the hive-mind of the bees look like a passing thought!
So nice of Strong Bad to lend his voice to the bird at the end.
You remind me of Zaboomafoo and the Kramp twins. I love your childlike approach to everything. Thanks for growing with us Ze Frank. These keep the childlike spirit alive
I knew a guy named creepy Dave
He never meant to misbehave
He'd never hang around too long
In fear of saying something wrong
Forehand, Backhand! 😂 This whole video is hilarious and informative. The pufferfish is an artist!
Can we talk about how crazy the mating ritual for the pufferfish was??? Im sorry to all the little guys but i thought pufferfish were dumb.
I watched the "messing with feeshees" 3 times & lost it laughing (4:54). I really needed this today. Your vidoes are the best. Thank you for all your hard work. ❤
This is such an engaging video from start to finish; A natural incorporation of the ad, a variety of animals, the voice overs, and the transition into the last clip that keeps you wanting more but just enough to close up. Zefrank team is perfection being created with every video. 👌🏿
A lil premature to say, but I truly believe this is one of the best True Facts video. I had no time to breathe, was laughing the entire way through.
omg same!! The segment at the end had me WHEEZING 😂
