  • its really amazing. 

  • cool!

  • ugh, the narrator. 

  • even the kraken can fit down a toilet

  • Thumbs up if you wish they'd hire Sir David Attenborough as narrator instead.

  • looks like the octopus is having fun

  • I just got a boner

  • My favorite part is when he says, "Could you imagine how much fun it would be to be an octopus?!"

  • that is one badass octopus

  • "No matter how many yoga classes a human takes, they'll never be this flexible."

    Well, NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!

  • i thought biggest octopodes were giant pacific and they only got to about 35 lbs how is this one 600?!

  • @flipement The Giant Pacific Octopus definitely ain't 35lbs, might have been 35kilos or w/e the metric measuring systems that coverts from lbs.

  • I want them inside my anus, tinted with mushrooms and covered in glass shards!

  • I'm going to rape your octopus

  • i want to be a octopus when i grow up.

  • no bones, except for the beak

  • "you'd have a body unlike any other on earth" except for the hundreds of octopuses out there

  • the narrator is wrong the plural of octopus is not octopi its octopode or something like that cos it comes from greek not latin

  • @ijasper1 The plural form of octopus is octopuses (or occasionally octopodes). Although it is often supposed that octopi is the 'correct' plural of octopus, and it has been in use for longer than the usual Anglicized plural octopuses, it in fact originates as an error. Octopus is not a simple Latin word of the second declension, but a Latinized form of the Greek word oktopous, and its 'correct' plural would logically be octopodes.

  • oh n by the way he never said that octopus that you see right there weighed 60 pounds, he said "even if you happen to be a very large octopus, 600 pounds or so," he was making an example, he never said this octopus weighs 600 pounds, n by the way, the narrator sounds this way becuase this show is for children not adults, my little sister watches this all the time

  • ahh it's possible for a 600 pound octopus to do that, dont forget they have no bones, it's pure flesh, you must know nothing of this creature at all if you dont believe that, so pretty much, you should've not wrote anything down, you sound dumber then the narrator, at least he knows what he's talking about.

  • "could you imagine how fun it would be to be an octopus? you could slide under doors... etc"

    shut the fuck up you fucking cunt, it doesnt sound fun at all

  • Well I better seal any possible holes on my body before entering the ocean for any possible mini octopuses.

  • i find these creatures horrifying

  • DEVIL FISH!!

  • beautiful animal

  • either that octopus is relatively small or that's a huge quarter

  • @lolocaustism yea the octopus's beak is hard and on a 600 pounder it would be much larger than a quarter, larger than your fist even.

  • @ricin82

    But this video is like saying this dude can fit in a tiny box and then you watch it and the dude turns out to be a midget =/

  • I can ride a bike, top THAT OCTOFUCK

  • @APEEEEEx3 i cant... :(

  • that would be funny if when the octopus was in the tube if they seeled both ends of it LOL.

  • 1:24 -- Marissa Miller is an octopus??

  • wait a minute, how do we really know they aren't devil fish??

    0:48 -- that's what she said.

  • lol

  • Video certainly was interesting, although the narrator and his copy were irritating. Call me oldschool, but I don't believe documentary narrators should sound as if they're equally comfy with whoring Comedy Thursdays on NBC or 3M's newest gadget. Give me David Attenborough or Richard Kiley any day.

  • that's not a 600 lbs octopus, the narrator was being hyperbolic

  • @Drallop yeah but it says it's 600 pounds in the vid info so it looks like they're being serious

  • heh heh..... squall and buddha... you're both octopussies...

  • His name is bert and he lives in my house.

  • They are really intelligent. I'd like to do some research with them one day.

  • I'm calling bullshit. 600 pounds my ass. The largest species of octopus is the Pacific Giant Octopus, (Enteroctopus dofleini), which grows to a MAXIMUM of 150 lbs, but averages about 30-40, and the Octopus cyanea, as he said this one is, is nowhere near that large

  • @DyerJames1 probably 600 grams

  • That would be a very useful ability if you locked yourself out of your house. Through the keyhole! Being able to do that is very useful for them to hide from predators in places that they can't get into.

  • being an octopus would be RAD!

  • it's pretty awesome, i got an operation to change into an octopus a few years ago and i've never looked back.

  • ok its looks fun i wanna BE ONE LOL

  • Comment removed

  • no bones,

    invertebrate.

  • Those animals are reaaally awesome! :D

  • that ain't no quarter sized tube

  • oh no? did you measure it? of course it is, why would they lie? idiot!

  • it says it COULD pass through a passageway the size of a quarter, but the tube in the video ain't no quartersized tube.

  • they make anime porns where that thing gets to fuck more girls than i ever will...im still a virgin. no. i had sex once.

  • I'm glad the narrator is not my dad.

  • I hate how they're dumbing down educational videos. He sounds like an america's most funniest videos narrator.

  • Indeed.

    Infotainment over actual educational value, tsch.

  • @hughtub unfortunately you are right, the general public is getting dumber and developing the attention span and memory of a gold fish, it's very sad because i remember a time when NG had some really great thought provoking documentaries.

  • @hughtub so true, to sad this is just the beginning. 

  • @hughtub Soon they'll be adding a laugh track and sound effects. Tsk tsk tsk! Where's David Attenborough when you need him?  Is my question.

  • @hughtub Well that's america always dumbing things down.

  • Octopi are really intelligent also.

  • Maybe you could have one proofread your posts.

  • Octopi is plural for octopus stupid. What do you think it is, octopuses?

  • no need to be calling names, octopuses is also correct.

  • gtfo of here... 600 lb octopus can fit through a passageway the size of a quarter?

  • Yes pretty much

  • the inner diameter of that tubing looks larger than a quarter though..

    to me..it looks a wee bit smaller than the size of a basketball. which is still pretty damn impressive.

    but 600 lbs. through a quarter sized ID pipe is unfuckingbelievable to me hehehe.. a quarter!! har..

  • that was just straight out amazing

  • funny the dude that does squidwerd from spongebob squarpants is narrating this...his name is Rodger Bumpass

  • Thats pretty cool but wouldnt it be dangerous since his brain would move around if he was in a very small space ?

  • dat was amazing

  • I can do that.

  • no you can't. i can.

  • anything you can do I can do better!

  • @pylgrym Your penis can do that

  • @ForrestUzumaki same

  • I am amazed, fascinated and grossed out all at the same time.

    Oh octopus. <3

  • A plexiglas wonderland?? Gleee!

  • It may SEEM fun to be an octopus, but they have bills to pay too, y'know.

  • wow

  • They scare me an amazes me at the same time..

  • "No matter how many yoga classes a human takes, he'll never be this flexiable."

    -Priceless...

  • haha that's neat

  • This guy's voice really annoys me.

  • Octopi really are amazing!

  • no bones, but dont they have a beak?

  • Yep, they do. It's the single hard part of their body, so they do have to take that into account when they're squeezing.

  • An octopus doesn't have air bladders, either. If a human lived in the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean, in a hyperbaric environment with 15,000 PSI (pounds per square inch), he would immediately implode like a vacuum bomb. And a human is NOT a vacuum bomb.

  • i am not an Octopus! stop talking to me like one!

  • horrible narration... beautiful footage

  • lol thats so cool

  • What's the biggest Octopus?

  • Weird ass specimens are found with tentacles up to 8 metres (27 foot), but there's only black and white pictures of those and no official records.

    The giant octopus' tentacles grew up to just about 3 metres (10 foot), which is already a big one (I think about the size of the one in the video, but it doesn't really show its size there).

    If you want the real big thing, look up "Giant Squid" on YouTube. There's a video of one that grows 18 metres (60 foot)! (link: watch?v=kK2J-6nLJLQ)

  • powerpuff girl narrator guy lost a job and got on on national geographic!

  • he's just diverse!

    anyways i love cowboybeebop too!

  • Whoa how did you know? Does it mean this guy talking is the powerpuff girls guy?

  • I assume that this was for kids and all, but good god i can't stand this guys voice. its too wacky.

  • u are totally wrong

  • no Iam not I have caught over 10000 of them in the last 20 years I dive for them on Vancover Island they are the biggest in the world here and the biggest ever caught was 150 pounds People like to think that there is 500pound octopus but no onehas ever seen one but we have for sure caught 100 pound ones and thous would not fit thru a hole the size of a quater.what proff do you have you ever catch one

  • that doesnt mean there isnt... but you are probably right

  • Actually, the octopus do have one bone, or rather cartilage. That "bone" is their beak. Thats what they crush their food with.

  • The footage is from a video by Amy Globus entitled "electric sheep."

  • coolest animal ever!!!

  • 600 pounds?? thats still small for octopus

  • .........and that is why they are so tasty.

  • I rather be humans. I don't want to be eaten by humans or other predators.

  • its gonna be the next snuke

  • ı think this one s bigger than the other species of octopus...but ı m suprised how it s moving!..

  • That is WAYY bigger than a quarter.

  • probably because it was ENLARGED...have u heard of that word?

  • 60 or 600?

  • 600.

  • Octopi kick ass! Imagine if they were as smart as us? Or even as smart s dolphins? Oh and in case you werewondering they actually are very smart, about the same level of intelligence as dogs. Gues you'd have to be smart even with out bones to get through a passageway th size of a quarter huh? I've seen octopi that can memorize mazes and stuff like that. I'd love to have a small one as a pet. You will be my squishy, and I will call you Squishy.

  • and do not forget that the octopus can mimic any color and surface!!!!!

  • LOL. you octopussy lover!

  • not fun to be an octopus

  • Yea because you would know obviously...

  • i wish i was an octopus.. a giant octopus larger than a whale.. is there any? ^^

  • There are squid that are almost as big as whales, but no octopie that big.

  • Squids, maybe.

  • when its in the middle CLOSE THE ENDS =D HAHAHAHA n00b3d.

  • dude thats gross

  • octopus= icky T.T
