TH-cam typically doesn’t allow links in comments, so that may be the reason.
Also, it’s Jolie.
I'm not sure what's more common. Storytime animators having near death experiences or Rebecca doing a Brooklyn accent. Not that I'm complaining, they're both equally entertaining! Happy 10 years Rebecca!

My dad was scuba diving by himself in Bermuda and came across a huge school of “pretty shiny fish”. He swam around them for a while, came back to the hotel, and asked my mom to help him find out what they were. My dad wasn’t wearing his reading glasses so he very excitedly said to my mom “Hun look this was the pretty shiny fish” while pointing to a barracuda. My dad swam with about 15 barracudas unknowingly, alone, in a foreign country.
I wonder how he felt after that, knowing that he unknowingly swam with dangerous fish and lived to tell the tale. How did your mom feel about that lol?
dad lore is crazy
Him just chilling probably saved him from being attacked 😭
AND HE SURVIVED!
Basically strolling amongst a pack of wolves!
I have Octonauts to thank for the fact that I immediately knew where the story was going as soon as Rebecca mentioned having beads braided into her hair
Octonauts was fire and I will NOT hear otherwise
Great show, but it's been years since I watched it. I'm not really an expert on the ocean.
I loved that show, I recently rewatched it for more bio all about every single fish.
@@sealord77 While I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment, I’m fairly sure the show’s STILL going (yeah, I know).

Ooh Octonauts reference!
Oh…oh no
@@Audi_Auditor Ikr! Loved that show when I was younger.
The second she said “shiny beads” I knew the trip was gonna go wrong
Agreed

Yeah. When people tell me "everyone makes mistakes", the first thing that comes to mind are the ones that will almost always lead to certain death. Like this one, for example.
@@DanielKyreMcNutt No it isn't- you beg for views and she doesn't.
Same. I remembered that Barracuda are like ravens when it comes to shiny things
Imagine receiving a bombastic side eye from a fish
I would cackle so hard

I READ YOUR STORY. I am shocked that all these years later we know who Bad Hair Day girl is.
As soon as I realised it was the beeds drawing them closer, my heart stopped. Barracudas are attracted to shiny objects and veiw it as a food source. I'd of made the water turn brown.
Happy 10 years!

hi den
Its actually’ has Bin 9 Years
Oh god she said shiny. For anyone who doesn’t know this; sharks and barracudas are attracted to SHINY things. like earring and bracelets. She’s about to get eaten I can already tell.
I feel that is the only thing I can say with certainty when it comes to the ocean or a sea or any body of water with living fish don't were shiny in the ocean

@@DanielKyreMcNuttno
Not only that, but they can drive cars apparently. I'm learning so much!
We had a similar diving experience. My husband's dive watch got the barracuda's attention and I saw him slap his hand over his wrist when it swam toward us. They are the ultimate "oooooo shiny" fish!
hahaha true
As a fellow scuba diver, it’s sick so see people talking about it in an animated form! (Congrats on ten years btw, been a fan for about a year now, love you the content!!)
1:02
I personally liked this part in particular because I remember this one episode of Mythbusters where "the trio" (as I liked to call them as a teen) were testing a myth about how you'd get pushed into your own helmet w/o air if the valve cut off.
Buster got a face full of "pressed beef" that day! 😂
0:47 The definition of "Extreme Sport" is if you can die while doing it without it being considered murder.
Dude ANYTHING can kill you if you aren't careful.
Murder???
Even though I would rather dive in water than dive out of a plane, I will admit that the lack of sky sharks or barracudas is a nice perk of choosing skydiving lmao
@@PikaLink91 Correction: anything can kill you if you're dumb enough.
@@PikaLink91 So you mean to imply that me making a sandwich can be considered an extreme sport? :3
4:33
This single image fills me with dread. It’s glorious.
The same feeling I got from watching The Thing (1982).
Shout out to Rebecca for keeping this channel alive for an entire decade! Love you Becca!
Barracudas as mafiamen is way to accurate 😂
Yeap, be careful not to step close to the loan sharks too.
The Godfish
Well make em a spahkly ding dat dey cant refuse.
there was a recent spongebob episode where spongebob works at the salty spitoon after the krusty krab is closed due to a nemotode infestestion and after proving to the owner and patrons he was the toughest guy in the bar (after scaring mrs puff who was there) then this barracuda biker gang comes in and sees that spongebob has made the place all cutesy and babyish
To me, no animations are better than any other.

Oh hey
@@Beanie582 yo, hi dude
1:50 Colorful beads... oh no... I think I know where this is going...
I came up with an idea for a character who had an ability centered around a Barracuda (it was a stand for JoJo's bizarre adventure based on the song Barracuda)
One of the main weaknesses of the ability was that the Barracuda would always attack shiny objects instead of its target... it was used by one of the members of my main cast who has a light based ability.
So I knew what was happening right from the start... I'm glad you weren't hurt, though!
1:58 actually
Same 😂
@@ohcadin6590sounds cool, whats Barracuda's ability
@senabecool7232 creates an illusion of various sea life in a large area... through this, the user convinces their targets that their stand is actually a colony stand instead of just the Barracuda... based on how the song is itself about how Heart's lead singer was angry at their previous publisher after they created a fake story of her being in a relationship with her sister... the songs root in lies leads to an ability based entirely on a string of lies the opponent leads their enemy to believe.
Edit: should mention, the Barracuda and all its illusions appear on land, with the fish swimming through the air...
5:37 Frankie? Why’d you name him Fra-oh god more PTSD
if you get that then you probably dont really like the first sea movie dreamworks made
That "Bad Hair Day" gag was a good one. XD
Fisherman here! The second you mentioned shiny beads with Barracuda involved I knew immediately where this was going. The amount of times Ive seen people catch legal sized ones just tying a shiny coin to their hook is more than I could count. Ive also seen plenty of new people to the sport wonder why their line is completely shredded at the swivel because they got the shiny metal ones instead of the special painted ones to avoid the issues of barracuda chomping at them and destroying/breaking the line
hahaha true
Is cat still sleeping?
funny enough, IRL Barracuda don't eat clownfish.
they're way too small for them and they typically go after bigger fish.
they don't eat fish eggs either
also clownfish eat their own eggs
and they don’t even like to go near coral reefs
Finding Nemo got it all wrong then
@@alexmadness19 they VERY much do, most species hang around reefs
@@majorgalah really? im just getting confused at this point
I really like how Becca and her team drew the barracudas. Plus, the New York / mobster accent was hilarious.
Happy ten years!🥳 You are a big inspiration to me and now I’ve even started practicing animation , thank you for all the animations you’ve made and continue to make, I wish you well😄
4:25 in this sence is not only creepy but feels like a Scooby Doo moment when she said i just considered that im in danger

HAPPY TEN YEARS
Hello! Ten years Already. I have been a watcher of you since the beginning You have gotten so much better at animating your content is insanely great. WELL DONE!
I majored in biology and even took an educational trip to Hawaii back in high school, so the second you brought up getting beads in your hair, I KNEW that’s where the story was going. Barracudas and sharks are attracted to shiny objects (and surfers on their surfboards) bc it resembles characteristics of animals in their diet.
So are salmon. Just thought I’d mention that.
I know because I watched octonauts as a child. 😂
I knew it! Thank you wild Kratts!!
@@mo0nflowersartBro my knowledge came from Zoboomafu. So in a way they taught us both.
hahaha true
The barracudas are reminding me of Flotsam and Jetsam from _The Little Mermaid._ Yes, I know they were moray eels.
THEY HAD NAMES???
@@Crockssi69apparently
@Crockssi69 Ursula says their names at least twice in the movie.
@@Crockssi69she calls them by name in poor unfortunate souls: "flotsam, jetsam, now I've got her, boys!"
Been here all 10 years even if most of it was on my old account, absolutely love Rebecca's stories. Hoping I cat the chance to meet her in person. ^^
Hi Rebecca! I watch you here from Brazil and I love your videos!! I shared it with all my friends and they loved it too! Thank you for making our days always better!!!
I’ve noticed that your stories get more insane with each upload 😭😭

A moment of appreciation for Becca who probably took a VERY LONG time animating that ✨FaNCy HaiR✨
Maaan, this is peak animation and storytelling, it was soo fun to watch. Wish I knew this channel way earlier. You've got a new sub! 🖐🏻
Can we all just appreciate that she was able to turn a really scary moment in her life into an amazing comedy short? This is my favorite video on her channel so far!!!!!
The magazine you mentioned sounds like the February 2001 or October 2004 issue of CosmoGIRL! The cover had a light pink color, and it featured a story about a girl who scuba dived. :) happy to help! It took way too much time to find it 😅
It seems to actually be the October 2004 version?
@@toters2724 that’s odd, I swear it was 2001
@@ONYX_LGhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what month do you think, September maybe?
@@TheMonstrousBagel i said it was published in February :D
@@ONYX_LG oh yeah
When Becca said ooo, shiney my immediate thought was, "that's foreshadowing." And I immediately forgot about it after that.
Congratulations on 10 years💚🍾
I remember when you were still a pretty small channel only a few thousand followers, its amazing to have seen you grow into this huge channel!
happy 10 years you beautiful and crazy angel! 1) i absolutly LOVE your videos!!! i took an animation class once, aced it 2) i could NEVER go underwater like that, scuba diving just creeps the hell outa me! 3) you have the same name as my little sister and my favorite anime character from Cyberpunk Edgerunners!!!
3:00 Oohhhhh, this is why you asked if we explainers needed spoilers for Nemo.
OH YEAH
@@DanielKyreMcNutt bot
OH YEAH
To be fair, something that happens in literally the first five minutes is barely a spoiler.
I am sure that all of us are adequately traumatized from that film as things are, thank you very much.
Becca, listen to me... NEVER FUCK AROUND WITH BARRACUDA!
Fricken bots talking about that they're better than let me explain
bro you dont undrestand how much i love this channel ive been watching for years then i got busy with school and stuff keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing this story; most divers I know (myself included) have stories like this lurking somewhere in our dive logs😂❤
Asthma ended my 25-year diving career right as I was finally getting around to Masters certification. In all that time diving in cold lakes and warm oceans, being an outsider in a quiet, near weightless environment (once properly neutrally buoyant), I was privileged to have many encounters with aquatic life on reefs and wrecks - including huuuge Barracudas, Moray Eels, stingrays, turtles, dolphins - and a very large, curious Tiger Shark (we both decided to go our separate ways, me swimming backward facing him the whole time). For the record, I always dove with a utility knife for some protection, not that I ever had to use it beyond cutting a plastic six-pack ring from a turtle.
You Saved a turtle good job
Rebecca Parham is the DEFINITION of a real life Disney Princess. 💙🩵💙 Happy 10 years!

Congratulations on 10 years on TH-cam.🎊 Thank you for all your hard work. Also, as soon as you said the headbeads were shiny, I knew the barracuda would try something. Glad you escaped physically unscathed. Massive shout out to the dive master for protecting you without hesitation.
Agreed
She's earned such a success.
It's funny that only a couple days ago I was watching a video called "The Biology of Subnautica" by Curios Archive where he talks about how the sea stalkers are like barracudas in the fact that they like shiny things. The only difference being that one does it because it was programmed in the game to do so and the other does it because shiny things remind it of the prey it consumes. Once I put that and the shiny beads together I felt like I knew where the story was going, but I feel that knowing that knowledge makes the story more interesting to listen to. Congrats on the 10 years of being on TH-cam.
From the PDA "The stalker appears to be attracted to titanium deposits, which tends to sharpen and put stress on its teeth" and "The stalker's teeth are unusually hard, and fast-growing". It's probably more that they just do it to sharpen their teeth much like how a cat scratches certain things to break their claws. They also like to move metal scrap to a specific location kinda like a nesting behavior rather than just biting it once, thinking its food.
I love that game and I love that video
love the godzilla picture
Omggg we just came back from snorkeling at Akumal (very close proximity to this story in Cozumel) and there were barracuda sizing us up close to the shoreline! They’re HUGE
0:18 Sounds like a pretty fun job, also 10 years! Congrats on that crazy milestone.
I love how Rebecca used her usual blue dress and upgraded it for this video. Congratulations on 10 years of let me explain studios!
Feeding frenzy has solidly taught me all about that lil spooky stain of a fish...
@@DanielKyreMcNutt Content? What content? I just checked out your channel and you only have 5 followers and one 11-second long video mocking someone's death! Becca's at least holds better value, quality, and effort than that. Scrolled through the comments too, and no one is happy there. Becca's comments in comparison to yours are like comparing the cozy summer to the blistering winter!
@@illustrenabot dont bother with relpys
@ThePsychicBuzz. You played the game too?!
That barracuda was a menace. And you couldn’t do anything to it, besides trying to nip its tail for bonus points. And if you screwed up? Chomp!
I REMEMBER THAT GAME
Happy 10 years!! I love your stories :D
When we got to the underwater part I got plenty of shivers down my spine. Glad to hear though that no one got hurt and everyone was safe.

0:52 GOT ME ROLLING ON THE FLOOR
She fr grown so much and that scene got me to lol
I aM bUilT *X T R E M E*
This is one of the most in character things to happen to Becca.
So is this moment at 0:52
It is German accent Becca
As soon as I heard "shiny beads" I immediatly shouted out, "NO! DON'T DO THAT!"
Not only does it look like scales but fish are attracted to bright shiny things. ESPECIALLY predatory ones.
I am surprised the diving instructor didn't make her take them out before they went on a dive. Most instructors know better.
He probably overlooked them because of the first day and how far away they were when he first spotted them plus barracudas have poor eyesight
When I was a child I was also followed by a Barracuda while snorkeling (it was either in Cozumel or the Cayman Islands). The think I remember most is how agile the thing was, it stuck close to me for what fellow like half an hour put was probably more like 5 minutes as I fearfully swam for shore.
those beads look so adorable and shiny ... cant have bene easy to animate
6:25 ooh ... ooooh
Thinking about it from the fish's side of things, they probably thought that Becca had a swarm of small fish swimming around her head, and were waiting to see if any of them would break away from the big human long enough for them to have a snack. It's a good thing they didn't go for it, cause it would hurt to have a big toothy fish biting at your hair.

When I heard her say shiny beads for her hair I knew what was going to go down
Almost as soon as you talked about the shiny beads I remembered an episode on Octonots about how barracuda like shiny things, and I was worried about you🕊🐟🐬
I have just now noticed that Becca would be great at voicing audio books, if that is how you put it. Her voice kind of makes things interesting! Also, HAPPY 10 YEARS!
Like she’s an absolutely amazing narrator!

I forgot how much I like watching you! Also 10 years?! WHO!!!
I am 13 and I got my diving certification in Norway for my 12th birthday, but when I was doing my training one of the experienced divers shared a story about how he got stuck under ice and almost didn’t get out. There was also another person that went cave diving and ran out of air so he had to breath the trapped air from the top of the cave.
Oh my god I misread diving as driving and got so scared for a minute they were handing out driving licenses to preteens lol
@@ParappaknowsyouripaddressSAME
Cave diving is a lot more dangerous than regular scuba diving.
Cave diving and ice diving are entirely different beasts though o.o Plenty of lovely bits to normal-dive around, the rocky shores in the south are stunning!!
not becca looking like medusa with her hair beads in the water
Reminds me of an episode of mythbusters where their human analog was forced into the diving helmet due to cut off pressure.
Fun fact: it's also the episode Kari went on Maternity Leave in the middle of filming.
So, i had known your channel by a dub channel and watched it every day. Now i arrived at the english fluency, and I'm watching your content in the original channel. It's so good to understand it ❤

🎉Congratulations on the Anniversary!🎉
Yeah, the moment Becca mentioned the braids I knew what was coming. As someone who grew up in the Caribbean one of the first things I was taught by my dad (who was a divemaster himself, other kids get driving lessons he got me Padi certified for my 18th) was that you never wear any shiny jewelry when diving in waters that have barracuda, their eyesight isn't that good and their favourite food is a type of fish called a Jack that have a silver body, so they'll go for anything shiny. To those Barracuda Becca's head probably looked like a school of Jacks just swimming out in the open, which is to say a free all you can eat buffet for them.
I grew up hearing horror stories about a wealthy tourist who insisted on wearing a very expensive silver divers watch against the divemasters recommendation and lost not only the watch but the hand it was attached to.
as somebody who has never dived before and has only ever played subnautica this video was an experience
