DO.
THIS.
EVERY.
YEAR.
I love the grouse in the end of the video. they do those sounds around here in matting season, off in the distance it reminds me of a 4 wheeler starting up! Hahaha it’s really basey and loud.
Their prices are absolutely insane, no thank you
To be honest, I’m still taken aback by the fact that you have a B.S in Neurosciennnncc… Waitaminute. A B.S? Are you being cheeky in the sense that it stands for bullshi….. Oh, sorry, it’s Bachelor of Science. Yeah, I’mmmmm… sorry? Um, great stuff? Pew-pew….gotta go now.
Thanks for making me chuckle. Hope you’re well!
This is the best kind of awards show. I’d rather look at crazy orifices of insects and animals than celebrities playing dress-up any day. 👏
I’d gladly love to watch animal awards instead of watching wha KK will try to dress up or any model does because its all boobs and ass but no real thing to award
@Koatam The game awards at least have trailers for upcoming games.
@Imagine_Big they didn’t put anyone down. They literally did the very thing you said to do. The only difference is they’re playful and silly while you’re condescending and self-righteous.
Better than the game awards.
@Athelwulf Galland Top tier comment.
Jerry is officially a producer now. To date he has produced one award show and a lot of mucus.
That is how a producer do, Good Work Jerry!
Noice.
The creativity of you and Jerry never ceases to amaze me. Congrats to the winners and runner ups in the animal kingdom 👍🏾🏆✨
ikr
Actually Jerry does all the work n zefrank gets all the credit
Jerry about to burn it all down
The never ending originality of zefrank’s metaphors. Just love it
Jerry will always have a place in our hearts. Don’t deny him his glory.
Glory hole?
True
Agreed!
Dammit Jerry!
Just make sure he doesn’t get any glory on the couch. That’s suede you know. Dry clean only.
Can we please have more animal awards? this was fantastic! where else are you going to find entries like “most creative use of mucus”???
… also an episode on the True Facts of Jerry would be fun.
‘Jerry was routinely dropped on his head as a baby and still drinks paint to this day.’

“Here is footage captured by the science hippies of Jerry pouring milk into the bowl first before opening the cereal box. It is a controversial move I tell you… oh! OH! he’s pouring the cereal directly into his mouth… that took an interesting turn. his titling his head backwards and mimicking a flush toilet. (No Jerry not all toilets are flushable, we are doing a truth fact show, therefore, need to be accurate. some less fortunate people don’t have a flush toilet. Also, you got some explaining to do after we finish recording.)…
and he’s pouring the milk down the drain to flush everything down the pipe. get it? flush down the pipe because it’s a flush toil.. oh never mind. ….. of course, a successful flush is not guaranteed. sometimes a mishap happens and it leaves a huge mess. /this one is still recoverable/, /almost lost that flush/, /oh look at that one go! it’s like a fountain, or a flush toilet that doesn’t flush, or a flush toilet that flushes the wrong direction, or an Australian flush toilet. or a toilet that had enough of your shit (Jerry did you touch my script?)/ This time Jerry used 2 too many orifices. he will be tasting chunks later that afternoon. I bet it would be salty with all the mucus mixed in. (I’m sorry Jerry, that was insensitive of me to mock you like that. I didn’t know it was a traumatic experience for you. maybe you shouldn’t have eaten cereals like that. )
And that, is how a Jerry Do.” – zefrank, probably

Jerry. Jerry! JERRY! *JERRY!!*
The green banded broodsack mimicry and the jewel wasp kill are some of the craziest things I’ve seen nature do in a long time.
@Angela James And the Tetrastichus asparagi, a beautiful little iridescent blue-green wasp, lays its eggs in the eggs of the asparagus beetles, and eat the hatchling larvae from the inside as they develop.
@Angela James thing is the jewel wasps can be considered merciful cause they basically drug up their victims making them loopy before the whole laying eggs inside bit. the tarantula hawk just paralyzes the tarantula and lays the egg while the tarantula is still alive and more importantly AWARE OF IT ALL.
Mud dauber wasps will do the same with spiders. As well as Tarantula Hawks (they are a type of wasp also and very large. They do the same with Tarantulas)
“Two drunk fraternity brothers trying to dub a samurai movie” was a sentence I never thought I’d hear.
Jerry, we all thank you for associate producing the finest content on the inter-webs. Your ideas are a credit to our education system. You are seen.
