Happy to have Curiosity Stream as a sponsor. Go to https://curiositystream.com/Zefrank and use code ZEFRANK to get Curiosity Stream for only $14.99 for the whole year.
1:04 Those lips though. xD 😀
Oh, good! Something I want to watch.
I was hoping they peacock would appear when you brought up the beeirds, and was not disappointed!!!! Still want a True Facts: Peacock episode, because it’s a humor goldmine
Also the vomiting monkey statue made me cackle out loud, glorious!
I’m a little surprised curiosity stream has been such a consistent sponsor since you have pretty risque content. Is there any push back from them, tell you to tone it down? (please don’t, I love your content)
… for just the cost of something else that cost $14.99 … 😄😆😂😅
I’ve always loved Zefrank’s humor so much, because it’s like a Nat Geo documentary where the narrator can say LITERALLY anything without being fired while still sounding so professional. I don’t know how to better describe it, it’s just so damn funny to me with the way he talks
@grip I would forsure pay to see that
Casual Geographic and Zefrank could do a collab and it would be great.
@A Laughing Wolf It’s okay, I do the same thing
@GippyHappy how did I not notice I did that?
The way you just described it is how a Zefrank do
When I lived in Brunei as a kid, I’d often see Proboscis Monkeys while on safari through the mangroves, but the funnier story comes from when I visited a zoo in Malaysia. Essentially, i brought a toy jaguar with me as I wandered around the place, and when I got to the Proboscis Monkey enclosure and propped myself up on the viewing platform, they caught sight of the jaguar and quite literally went ape shit, the males roaring and flopping their red chillies towards the jaguars direction. In hindsight, probably wasn’t that funny for them, but its hard to take them seriously when they were doing that.
Gosh, I kinda want to piss off a Proboscis monkey now, that sounds hilarious
Red chilies 🤣
I would beg for more frequent True Facts, but I think the product quality is well worth waiting patiently for.
I wish more communities had your values. Godspeed mate
Aye
@Lucifer Huey Considering how many species of animals and plants there are, I don’t think that would be a problem.
absolutely! I don’t mind waiting at all. I usually forget about the channel and then a new video goes up and its like Xmas all over again. 🙃
i cant wait for true facts about karen
I’m so glad I found your channel all those months ago, cause whenever I need a good laugh, I just pull up your channel.
“True facts is not for children, nor is it for adults who don’t act like children”
🤣🤣🤣 I love it!
One question about the extremely snub-nosed monkeys: What do they do when it rains?
Short Google answer: Apparently some species hide their face between their knees when it rains, locals say (see Rhinopithecus strykeri), or they have to sneeze.
So many quirky one-liners its hard to pick a favorite. Always a good day when Zefrank uploads.
Nah, the trash bag one was CLEARLY the winner.
“Rear-ended a unicorn that was stopped at a traffic light.”
Butt picking is always fun. Sorry. But, picking is always fun!
Butt fighting is always a bummer
“It was not only futed, it was RE-futed!” 😂
Been tapping on YouTube videos a lot today. News, history, commentary. philosophy, and finally it’s Paid Off- big time. Zefrank giving us biology as only he can .Yay!!!
I love your videos! I study primates and I adore the primate videos you’ve made! I don’t know if you know this, but your videos are used in university classes because your videos are accurate, funny and incredibly useful! My teacher showed many of yours because of how good they are! I’m so happy you made another primate one! I can’t wait for the next one!
Oh, how I wish these videos had been around when I was in uni. These would have been amazing to watch! Cool professor you have there.
Can confirm, I had a professor (also for a primate class) use these vids once.
Wow! +
That’s awesome! Teachers with a sense of humor are priceless, and Ze definitely puts the work in to include relevant zoological information about the species he presents.
