Jacques Cousteau

[carolanivey]

LOL! Love the penguin! "Hey! Get off my ice!"

[nlp82]

Wes Anderson used Cousteau and his red hat trademark and documentary style as inspirations for Life Aquatic.

[l33tpwnzord]

Like this if The Life Aquatic brought you here.

[marcelodagnone]

Do you know why they used to wear red color wool hats.

I love that red hat but I do not know the sense to do that.. bye and good video.

[charlyblues]

Jacues is the man, and in the eithies you always had some cousteau on tv, it didnt even matter in which country you were, jacque cousteau was in the package.RIP.

[daominous]

If only he'd have told us what the world "wasnt ready for" in Lake Tahoe.

[TheTTBT]

The Calypso, The Belafonte, the Penguinized ice.

[kjkolkowski]

that was the funniest fucking penguin I have ever seen

[cumulo25]

He spoke German too, damn

[LilyMae08]

We can still help his organization... Cousteau.org

All hope is not lost...

A few of us have gathered to perform in Lily's Charity Benefit Concert: This is for the Birds, a playlist on my channel, if you'd like to view it... it includes a short video by Jacques Cousteau.

[ar4216]

This world needs Jacques so bad. Those of us who grew up with his documentaries grew up with an appreciation of the sea and all the life that depends it- including us. We're killing ourselves. The manmade oil spill in the Gulf breaks my heart.

[SharkGirl1220]

I love you Jacques!!!!

[ElHombreConDosOjos]

The time has arrived to sit around & stare at each other intently. If they'll have us: let's join up with the military! They'll give us some backbone & taste for blood...and once all the territories, or terrorists, are brought to justice & our enemies dead the military will disband & public schools will come alive with renewed purpose, this time to teach something. Hand-holding will be abandoned, and mollycoddling.

[blastninja4]

Hahaha ftw penguin

[Live4TV22]

its his birthday!

[600niuqer]

Jacques Cousteau and Muhammad Ali were both inspirations to me when I was kid growing up I never forgot the life lessons I received from both of these great men. Thank you Jacques. Thank you Muhammad.

[TachieBillano]

LOL at the penguin. At 0:58, the poor nervous thing could have opted to dive into the sea and swim away, but...what the hell? He ran back!

PENGUIN: "Sqruaaaaawk!" (Translation:"It's MY ice floe, mine! Miiiiiine!") (And flaps his flipper-wings.)

[procommenter]

THE BRAVERY OF MARINES AND THEIR BUNKIES—If you participated in the carnage in Afghanistan, Iraq, or any number of places around the planet, then you MUST be tried for murder, and publicly executed (by hanging) upon conviction. I will, if request-ed, put the rope around your neck.

[92af]

Jacques Cousteau was awesome

[Earzii]

You all just don't wanna recodnize that.

[EmpireLS56KW]

I used to watch these shows during the late 70s and early 80s.

[coolantmanuscript]

Remind me to order him a red cap and a Speedo.

[MurunB]

Red berets FTW!

[tamara0131]

does anybody know the name of this documentary?

[Palp79]

That was not what he said..

"What should we do to eliminate suffering and disease? It's a wonderful idea but perhaps not altogether a beneficial one in the long run. If we try to implement it we may jeopardize the future of our species...It's terrible to have to say this. World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. This is so horrible to contemplate that we shouldn't even say it. But the general situation in which we are involved is lamentable"

[ancbcc]

we couldnt destroy this world if we tried, how arrogant to think we could, dumb asses

[spetsnaz5]

Really? Do you know how far you have to travel in the US to find land not affected by humans? Human's have had an enourmous impact on the environment. Great Britain used to be a giant forest for example.

[lilataubenei]

@spetsnaz5 is that true? you mean, celtic, roman and german humans and middle age, took the forests?

[VALDEMIR53]

Jacques Cousteau, homem de bom caracter e que dedicou sua vida a salvar o planeta e sua natureza, SAUDADES!

[ihsxps]

In the last years of his life, Jacques Cousteau returned to film in some of his very first locations, and documented the complete disappearance of life. Once he began comparing footage taken over a lifetime, he realized he was witnessing the extinction of the seas.  If the oceans die, mankind is doomed. No one could survive the death of the oceans Cousteau was witnessing.

Unless we can reduce our footprint on the planet, there will be no future for anyone--even fundive1 & procommenter.

[tannalv]

Jacques Cousteau was a great person. He fought proudly against the nazis during the war. He was one of the greatest under water. And he was a big enviromentalist. One of the first really. One can not help but admire the man.

He was awesome.

[procommenter]

"In order to stabilize world population, it is necessary to eliminate 350,000 people a day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it's just as bad not to say it." — Oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, as quoted in "The Courier," a publication of the U.N. Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (U.N.E.S.C.O.)

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal." — Ted Turner of C.N.N., as quoted in the "McAlvany Intelligence Advisor," 6/96

[isaacincabo]

Well, i bet youre not perfect!.. And he has done more for the environment than you ever will.

[firstwave2]

great words of a prize coward'

[firstwave2]

Talk to people that work for my boss-they can

tell you he sucks''

[AttackTheGasStation1]

Stop watching Fox News, stupid american.

[shananagans5]

Why do you say this? I watched anything Cousteau when I was a kid. I do not recall him doing anything destructive to the environment. Maybe a few things that would upset extreamists of today but his contributions of knowledge and awareness are second to none. Any comment bad about this man concerning ocean life is ignorant and/or misguided

[Fundive1]

Shan5, I used to think so too about Cousteau until I went on a dive trip to Galapagos. I talked with the boat Captain who worked with Cousteau and his crew when they were down there. This guy (Cousteau) was an environmental bulldozer. He didn't care about the enviro., just so long as he got his boat in and got the shot...quickly. I'm sorry but many of us have been misquided about him. This is an emotional subject for me..

[pongespob]

Fundive1 - "..This guy (Cousteau) was an environmental bulldozer. He didn't care about the enviro., just so long as he got his boat in and got the shot.."

Environmental bulldozer? So you're dismissing the entire Cousteau legacy based on what one guy with who knows what ax he may have to grind says? How much significant impact could a ship, a few guys and some cameras have on "the environment" at large? Was he bitch-slapping penguins?

[Fundive1]

It wasn't an ax, it was fact my friend. You can keep your ignorant opinion because it is clear you do not know and that is sad. A ship can cause A LOT of impact on the environment. How about the invasive species that were introduced into the Great Lakes by ship ballast tanks? Only took ONE.... It is OK, you live your life and I will mine, trying to save what precious natural resources we still have...

[pongespob]

"..It wasn't an ax, it was fact.."

Were you there yourself? Interesting that you don't give any specifics as to all the "damage" Cousteau did. So far all you've offered is unsubstantiated noise. Maybe it's all true - enlighten us. Curious what this guy did do to further oceanographic studies compared to Cousteau?

True, we don't often hear the whole story about Cousteau, like his war decorations.

[AnneCaro67]

Erm...You do know that the "Life Aquatic" movie was modeled after Cousteau's expeditions?

Hence the similarities...

[Earzii]

Jacques Cousteau became a muslim before he died.

[qwerty3008]

He didn't become a muslim before he died..don't be silly.

[antpile99]

Jacques Cousteau is one of the 3 or 4 greatest human beings ever to have set foot on Earth

[quadz05]

Jacque Cousteau may have been great in the water, but in life he wanted to destroy humanity when he said in one of his last interviews that he wanted to be reincarnated as a disease to help depopulate the world, and I do not call that being a great man. He was a horrible man, and a worse human being. Anyone that speaks of depopulation being a good thing is nothing more than Globalist and a disgrace to humanity. Don't believe me, find out for yourself.

[firstwave2]

I m with him on that-i say there is to

much scum, we need a civil war in the

worst f*cking way.

[GrenadeChick99]

Funny, then, that he had several children and enjoyed relationships with his grandchildren as well. When did he make these depopulation statements? End of life? Maybe frustrated beyond his capacity to cope. Se la vie.

[sealion1962]

He says 'the penguin really did not know what to think of us but wanted us off his ice drift.'

[Heartlander2]

Alexandra Cousteau is incredibly attractive, and very sexy.

I admire her causes greatly, but now for a question-

Why do we never see or hear anything of her love interests? It certainly makes one wonder which path she takes....

[1011010]

When someone doesn't talk about their personal life you wonder if she's gay? Moron. Who cares?

[quadz05]

Thank you for posting the truth about this so-called man.

[gregoir]

sound's like... aflaaaaaaaaaack!

[climid]

would anyone here thats speaks germn mind translatting what they say about the penguin?

thx!

[mrbadx19]

that penguin is too effing funny, should have nipped them frenchies! LOL

[Zacofonix]

why is this in German?

[CaptainBuster]

Wes Anderson was inspired by Jacques Cousteau when filming "the Life Aquatic".

[Sirradal]

This is the dude that said sharks couldn't see? and then got ate by one?

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

What's he say?

[miktemk]

hahaha love the penguin

[cousteauenglish]

Would be quite interested to know how you uploaded a video that look this good once on youtube.

Tanks

[omarmallek]

get the FlashFavorite software and you can do that

[karenferguson]

Emile Gagnan invented a regulator to feed natural gas to cars during WWII fuel shortages. Cousteau had the idea of creating a regulator for diving, went to Gagnan, and together the two adapted Gagnan's device for diving. It was Cousteau personally who tested the device to dangerous and unknown depths.  Both men have their names on the patent

[misfitdreamer]

oh okay, thanks for that insight!

[heyehowareyou]

do you realize that you have typed the same comment in different wording three seperate times?

[karenferguson]

Jacques Couseau invented the SCUBA and the first maneuverable deep diving submarine. Before him, human beings saw the ocean only as a surface, with monsters imagined by Jules Vernes below. Hard to understand what kind of a psychological grudge that Wes Andersen had --even Bill Murray wonders about that-- but it's harder to understand that anyone beyond the age of 12, who can read, doesn't know the historic significance of Cousteau's contributions to the Twentieth Century.

[misfitdreamer]

i never thought of the movie as derogatory towards cousteau, more like paying homage. i guess it's how you look at it. but i thought the movie shared th same wonderful perspective on sea exploration that cousteau probably had.

and i'm not dissing cousteau by saying this, but cousteau was the icon behind the aqualung/scuba system. the person who actually invented the aqualung was neil gagnon. i learned this in my scuba diving class.

[karenferguson]

Emile Gagnan invented a regulator that allowed cars to run on natural gas during the fuel shortages of WWII. Cousteau came up with the idea of a regulator for diving; the two met and re-invented Gagnan's original gadget. Both their names are on the patent. It was Cousteau himself who dared to test it personally, even down to dangerous and unseen depths.

[karenferguson]

Emile Gagnan invented a regulator to feed natural gas to cars during the years of WWII shortages. Cousteau came up with the idea of a regulator for diving, went to Gagnan, and together the two invented one. It was Cousteau personally who tested it down to unknown and never before seen dangerous depths. Both men have their names on the patent.I learned this from Emile Gagnon.

[NewarkNation]

Alors!! Why don't you leave that poor penguin alone. It's bad enough your boat propellers made lunch out of his family!

[65comeback]

The parallels are there because The Life Aquatic was loosely based on Cousteau.

[kumafromyumakz]

sorry if i'm interupting anything. Quick question: Is this from any of the DVDs out now? If so which one?

[richmahogany]

Only if you're Bill Murray. Or a hot girl.

[coutts82]

/\ /\ /\

This guy has never even spoken to a hot girl.

[richmahogany]

Oh, you know me personally? Are you the guy with the hump who keeps following me?

[coutts82]

no, that must be somebody else. im the guy living under your house. i peek up through the floorboards late in the evening.

[richmahogany]

Oh! Basement Pete!

[coutts82]

Thats me. My cousin Jerome has moved in for a while too, hope you dont mind.

[richmahogany]

No problem, as long as he stops lighting all that Nag Champa incense. That stuff is rank.

[vendettav]

lmao stupid penguin

[themightysisto]

YEEEES! XDDDDD

Too bad most of those icebergs are melted now.

[Jannell]

Perfect
