It is fascinating that if you look at some historical depictions of "sea serpents", particularly in Asia, a lot of them do share some commonalities with oarfish.

The "unidentified creature" actually had like 40 flesh samples from a guy on board, it turned out to be a basking shark.

I want a list of actual scary sea things, No need to be living creatures.

I used to love the Megalodon, but all these "caught on camera" videos have completely desensitized me

Kinda like how the kraken turned out to kinda be real. It's those damn colossal squid. I'd consider those kraken, because they're big ass squid.

You should play “I am fish”

"They got 10% on this test" Bruh, that's almost impressively bad. Like, you can probably straight up guess answers to a test and score as good as that 🤣

I remember that mermaid documentary... It was being shown at my work and I remember not believing it for a second... But all my coworkers did. It was very frustrating hearing day in and out about mermaids. Also it got to the point that a mayor or prime minister of some other country put out a reward if anyone could catch one.

You will get PTSD, #1, the sea cucumber

I imagine that the guy says "oh god" just like hardstop lucas when he sees the sea creatures

the scary part is that I had no idea there were so many videos of this type.

We should have Zack make a list of things in the ocean that could actually be scary, then there would be at least 1 good top 10 video on KZfaq

Hey Zaq, I just wanted to say that i've been wanting to be a marine biologist since i was young and your videos have taught me alot about the ocean and they also keep me entertained. Keep up the great work Zaq, you're my favorite youtuber!

"Oh my God theres mermaids on my screen" is just an amazing line.

The little skate in the beginning was just hugging itself to feel comfort from being hooked and reeled in...

Animal Planet created that mockumentary about mermaids to bring up the problem of hurting whales and dolphins by fishermen. Welp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love your outro. The art of the water just beneath the surface with all the friendly looking fish and the mellow music makes me feel so warm and fuzzy.

I love how INSTANT was chat reaction to the "Gay Fish Association" bit. South Park truly is the icon of a generation.

Fun fact, the japan fishing bpst carcass actually did have specimens collected from before being thrown back into the ocean. Its confirmed a baskin shark

"It left marine biologists scratching their heads" They must've had head lice then because that's literally a jellyfish

The basking shark one was identified, I believe samples of vertebrae were brought back and identified.

That dead basking shark was identified. Some of the crew brought back several vertebrae and flesh sample to be scientifically identified. Not surprisingly, they were easily identified as that of a basking shark.

i feel like i can actually see your will to live slowly fade from your eyes as soon as the megalodon is mentioned in these videos, amazing

I just watched a video where the KZfaqr actually admitted to receiving more views and likes after introducing the "like/subscribe/notification" trope. It seems like it does work in some instances. Good example: my father isn't really tech savvy, in any sense of the word. After a KZfaqr he watches said that, and explained why it's important, he was like, "Ohhh, that's how they get paid. I like them, and I want them to continue making content..." and then he liked, subscribed, and commented... now he has regular phone calls with the guy and teaches him karate virtually. Reminders that express how others can help you aren't necessarily a bad/annoying thing. If it works, it works!

This guy really said that The Blair Witch Project was presented as real lmao.

Narrator: “ you might think this is a sheet but this far below the surface” You forget how much garbage is in the ocean

Hey Zak next vid should be another Chills vid. His voice adds an extra comedic touch Edit: I love the dEmOgRaGgOhN

10:55 I remember I watched something like that a long time ago where it was about dragons, and I thought it was pretty cool. I didn't think they were trying to fool people, I just figured it was obvious that it was just for fun and wondering how they hypothetically might have worked. But I guess if they didn't specifically say that, people might have gotten confused.

this was 3 minutes ago, and there's already too much crabzilla jokes

Who else found this channel on your recommendations and now cant stop watching them? I mean his reaction vids are priceless 😂

They mention the bell so that you get an email or even a notification on your computer or phone the moment something is uploaded. That way you can watch/like/comment on video right away before it gets buried under other uploads. Esp when someone uploads a lot and very regularly. The video can just get lost among other things and some viewers miss it so they don't watch it...ect.ect

The scariest thing was the intro ngl

"De-mah-gro-gen" Tell someone you've never watched Stranger Things without actually saying it

IK this isn't really relevant to the video, but CHILLS' voice sounds like someone that has stood in line at the DMV for too long.

Impressive, they actually managed to score worse than my last math test.

I’d like to point out that Megalodon would have been more closely related to the mako shark then the great white

I’m not even a fish guy but I’m loving the content from my fellow New Jerseyite. Keep it up!!

🦀Crabzilla wasn't on the list (-_-)

11:52 This is why I don't like them putting chemicals in the water

The chat says it's his birthday. Happy birthday Zaq!

“We literally know everything about that fish” and so thats when I subscribed

I look forward to your videos everyday, thank you for making such good content ❤

"I don't know what to tell ya, man." Microsoft Sam: "That is just a dead basking shark" "That guy knew what to tell ya!" I love this channel!

7:07 Wazowski you didn't file your paperwork last night...

“this weird, unidentified white monster” is my tinder bio

you upload at the perfect time lmao. i'm always right here for your videos.

Crabzilla

The sheer disappoint when the mermaids first appeared on the screen. 😂😂

"in ancient time great whites had ancestors called megalodons that grew up to 35ft in length" I don't think he was ok making that video

The sad thing is that if you played by the rules of "assuming this thing is what they say it is", they would still hardly get 20 points.

Future video idea: “Fish Biologist reacts to [insert fish here] horror movie”

Literally one of my favorite series on youtube

9:45 that is clearly a barn owl

Congrats on 200k, remember when you had 900 subs a few months ago

I'm loving my "why do i exist" hoodie so far, great design AVNJ!!!

"The gulf of California off the coast of Mexico." It's shit like this that makes me laugh.

Damn they caught Crabzilla

"Was this [Mermaids movie] even successful???" I mean not _this_ one, but the one about dragons was beloved by viewers and the found footage Cryptozoology themed one "Lost Tapes" is generally regarded as a fun guilty pleasure for a lot of people (myself included).

This is the first time a KZfaqr asking me to subscribe has actually worked, and it's entirely because you DON'T usually ask. (Well, also because I've been binge watching your videos this weekend and enjoy your content.) What annoys me is when people ask you to like and subscribe at the BEGINNING of the video. I haven't seen the video yet, how am I supposed to know if I liked it?! In other news, I agree with all the other people who want to see you make a top whatever list of actually dangerous sea creatures.

"Anyone that's watched Stranger Things will be mad at that" or played DnD.

Back in the later half of grade school I remember we watched that Mermaid Mockumentary on one of those break days... Even as a kid, I was angry at how blatantly fake it was. I could not believe that they were trying to pass it off as real.

"Oh god there are mermaids on my screen" 😂😂 love it

I would love to see more facts from the international gay fish association

Ah yes The demogrogen. My favourite stranger things Villian

there’s been times where i’m sitting on the toilet or something, and i get a notification that you posted and i go watch the video you know, i think it just helps the trending / success of a video over a short period of time near uploading

The docu-fictions of discovery and animal planet were my favorite as a kid.. I still can't believe people thought they were real 😂

7:26 seemed like a squid with its tentacles removed

Thanks for the LIT CONTENT Zak!

I love how you can see the light leave your eyes the moment they mentioned the Megalodon

Honestly, I feel like you were overly generous when giving points. I'd have given the worm goby a 0. I don't give points to things that would be mistaken for a worm at first glance unless they have some kind of venom.

The sea cucumber must be number 1

Hey bud, grats on 200k, been watching since the subnautica ghost leviathan : )

"Often times I feel like we don't get scared very much by these highly scary videos." Understatement of the year! And it'll be a hard one to surpass even with two months left. Sadly I think it'll stand for a decade, way things are looking. But who knows, maybe the scaremongers will get it together and start delivering, gotta stay positive1

4:09 Anything people dont understand/knowledge about things, they think the government has covered it up. Classic lol

When you get to 250,000k subs, will you film yourself dancing to your outro music?

Are we not going to go into how he said the megalodon was the ancestor of the great white?

9:32 No actually, samples from it were taken before it was thrown back into the ocean and it was identified as the carcass of a shark.

Can we have another teir list video but you pick out all the fish you actually think are scary either asthetically or deadly?

certified hood classic

"A fish biologist rated our video's creatures' scariness from 0-10. Our video ended up scoring a 10."

I’m glad I’m not the only one who heard “gay fish association”. I also half expected Zak to just nope out of the video when number one was the megalodon

Congrats on 200k bro!

Congrats on 200k

Thanks for the LIT content!

You're nice, I give them a 7 out of 100.

And THATS how just earned yourself a subscriber 😊. I genuinely love your authenticity and honesty. I dont enjoy fake youtubers who push too much. Self promoting is always great but it shouldnt be 20%+ of the videos time length

Congrats on 200k man

3:30As a stranger things fan I cannot belive the demogragan is real.

They were coming off the great success of the dragons one, which was really cool

Ayyy my boy the frilled shark 7:33

Theres just something about you instantly pausing the video after one of the “creatures” is revealed that always makes me crack up ahha, cus i know its bs and youre about to tell it to us haha

You need to do more of this ranking thing, it’s great

I typically turn on notifications on channels i frequent, usually the algorithm will show me when they upload something new but not always. Saves me from channel surfing to find new videos

I love these videos, they always make me say “Yikes. That’s one hell of a messy video.”

I just noticed this but, Congrats on 200k Subscribers!

I don't have notifications on for you. So I get excited when I see you've posted a video because they are hilarious lol

Congrats on 200k!!!

I love you are making more videos then usual :)

I, for one, really loved the dragon mockumentary.

Congratulations on 200K subs
