This video shows a quick way to tie a knot which is very useful, though as shown, a regular bowline would suffice.
The tugboat bowline is very useful when a loop is needed in the middle of a long piece of rope, which WILL come untied after strain is applied. I've used these a lot for lifting and towing. There is a conventional method for tying this knot which allows more turns before the locking bend, though I haven't seen a video online for it.

I'm not impressed. please remove your video so people are not more confused on how to tie a bowline.
This knot will tighten up on itself and has absolutely zero elements of a bowline.

Not actually a bowline, but it is a quick way to tie a loop in a line.

Tie it and look at it close, it has some elements of the bowline on a bight and there is a figure-8 in it.
