Still a bit irritated why Chris changed it to _vulgaris_. Without Rodrigo I would never have created Spinofaarus in the first place.

Don’t get a tattoo of spinosaurus, it won’t last

Spinosaurus has more forms than the average Dragon Ball villain.

I love how you were able to reference a different time-accurate Spinosaurus for every single year lego Alfred mentioned.

It would be so hilarious if it turned out the first interpretations of spinosaurus were actually correct that whole time.

"Haha Spinosaurus might have had short legs, what a stupid idea, I'll draw a mocking drawing of one as a seal to show that we need to stay reasonable with our speculations!" *Monkeys paw makes a fist*

It's so cool that LIMC is going out of his way to cover the history of memes from more niche fanbases. Mad respect

On days like these, I just wish somebody could invent a time machine so we could finally see Spinosaurus

I made a promise to myself and to Spinosaurus. No matter what happens. No matter how weird things get. No matter how divisive people are about it. Spinosaurus is my favorite dinosaur.

Spinosaurus be like: This isn't even my final form.

"Suddenly, Spinofaarus no longer seemed like a joke." It is haunting you on your dreams, looking for a way to escape and subject the world to the unspeakable horrors of its existence.

This video is heavily outdated. They recently discovered that the spinosaurus looked more like a frog, and could paralyze its prey by using its heat vision to cook its brain.

Spinosaurus: *"Why must eleven minutes of my life be filled with misery?!!?" Why? WHY?!*

Aight listen at this point building a time machine and looking for a living spinosaurus is far easier than reconstructing the damned thing.

The "head on the wrong end" Spinosaurus was fucking goddamn BRILLIANT!!! I damn near choked on my drink 😂😂😂

I've never really been bothered about how much spinosaurus has changed overtime, almost enjoying it due to it fueling the fact that it was a very unique dinosaur despite little remains are known. So if spino does turn out to be some kind of giant elephant seal or camel or some other kind of animal that our mental health isn't prepared for, I'll be okay with it. Good question about the papo t rex btw.

2050: Spinosaurus was actually a godzilla-like robot who traveled to the past and lived during the Cretaceous who killed it's prey by twerking

Watch Spinosaurus end up being a science experiment that was killed during WWII

You know I’m impressed that spinofaarus one of the cursed dinosaurs is still famous till this day

I’m suprised at how accurate the concept art and known footage for Ark II is. The raptor, sabertooth and others are the most accurate depictions of any game yet! (Of course this doesn’t include everything.)

honestly... i like rodrigo vega's concept designs. although very absured and unusual, it is the bold take to make such an intriguing and controversial design that i admire. it is also one that i feel gives the piece much charm. for as always, as much as we like to think we know what we are talking about when it comes to reconstructing dead fauna, animals often look increadibly different than what their bone would tell us and what they really looked like might never truly be visualized.

I love spinosaurus! It’s a personal favourite and I hope to study it one day! And hopefully help prove that spinosaurus is actually a giant manatee and it’s spines we’re actually flippers it used to fly in space!

"Why is the Papo T-Rex fucking everywhere!?"

Me: (slaps a squidward nose on a spinosaurid) NOW ITS SPECULATIVE

Still remember the meme where you would connect muscles upon the spine similar to a bison, giving the spino a muscular build capable of (based on the meme) “yeet” small creatures. To me it was an absolute unit.

Der Spinosaurus-Wal mit Rüssel wird mich in meine Träume verfolgen 😁

The ending was the funniest thing mankind ever produced.

Everyone whenever a new Spinosaurus paper comes out: Oh man, oh god, oh man, oh god, oh man, oh god...

At this point we shouldn't even speculate on how a non-avian dinosaur looked like in life unless we have a reasonably complete skeleton of the species in question...

Bugs = "At the end everything is a crab" Dinosaurs = "At the end everything is a chicken" Spinosaurus = " i always wanted to be a dolphin"

Maybe the real Spinosaurus was the friends we made along the way

We shall celebrate the 10th anniversary of Spinofaarus with a bang, and this video was an absolute BANG I wish all of y'all a great April 7th, 😊

Spinofaarus Tribute wasn't enough

Damn Rick turning into Lessons In Meme Culture.

I am honored to share a birthday with the incredibly accurate spinofaarus

Truly a masterpiece

Fun fact, Spinosaurus had a built-in anti-air missile defensive system but it was pretty useless back then since no animals used guided missiles to kill their prey neither contest territory.

The Spinosaurus does not only constantly change in a scientifical way, apparently it also changes in a meme way, IT KEEPS EVOLVING!! SOMEONE PLEASE STOP IT!

Very educational!! I love your videos, thank you Rick! You’re very-well researched!

No joke, I went looking for dinosaur gifts for my family, often times detailed Schleich figures. Imagine my horror and confusion when a Schleich suggestion popped up featuring the papo rex for some ungodly reason.

“Spinofaarus” with legs looks like a good hypothetical Spino drawing

I am happy to see that even in a dinosaurs video the Allied war crimes during ww2 still show up.

honestly i would love a series like this covering paleo memes and controverseis like this and sussocaris!

Man that's the debate on the Spinosaurus I like to see, subscribed, you have pressure now.

I like how spinofaarus was a parody about scientific unfeasibility until suddenly there was at least hypothetical evidence to support some of it. Goes to show that our concept of scientific feasibility is just always changing, and not quite as set in stone as it may seem a hundred or so years ago

We don't talk about spino, no, no, no...

Can you imagine if someone traveled back in time just to prove that Spinosaurus was a land based predator... Only to be met with this living meme.

I was wondering why I saw this recommended to me, but not in my subscription feed from Lessons in Meme Culture. Well done with that thumbnail.

Why am I only discovering Spinofaarus now? I love all the memes on how the Spino gets redesigned constantly. Science memes. Paleo-memes!

He managed to post a video in UNDER 2 WEEKS NEW RECORD!

Spinosaurus was a flying fire breathing dragon, you can not change my mind.

1:08 German names be sounding like someone trying to speak Spanish while holding back a sneeze

Spino has changed alot,I wonder what dino has the most changed designs the most over the years

Man never knew spinosaurus had an identity crisis. Weird that no complete bones were found about them.

I swear if we as humans continue this journey of finding a new spino fossil or new assumptions about it we will go back to how we first thought it looked like I'm talking JP 3 vibes

I saw JP3 in theaters, it was a belated 7th birthday gift, and I was never upset that the Spino beat the T-Rex, I actually thought it was cool, because I thought "Whoa, a creature bigger and stronger than the T-rex!?" Even to this day im not upset at all about it

0:45 I was fully expecting Jonathan Frakes to show up there the finish that sentence

But what about [Papo Rex]?! Dinosaur Reskins in Paleo media have always seemed like a strange case to me. On one hand, if you like how a dinosaur works, but hate how it looks, it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, reskins usually look like they would be taxonomically different from their counterpart. And I've always thought it would be neat if cool looking dinosaurs like the Nanotyrannus had more of an identity than "Its the Tyrannosaurus but for dumb people." So I took a large number of dinosaur reskins currently portrayed in television, movies, and games, and gave them their own classifications ranging from "Slightly modified heritage to the original" to "Completely new clade that's not feasible at all but a ton of fun." The Papo Rex is a really cool looking dinosaur that just doesn't do it for me. Like sure if you-

Honestly, it's probably the only thing making the tiresome debate on Spinosaurus fun, aside from the constant re-designs.

It's devolving in every single interpretation.

7:25 LOL

1:06 He looks like he’s thinking “you see this? It’s preeeeeetty cool, isn’t it? Yeah.”

I swear with every day passing Spinosaurus gets less and less appealing in terms of looks - if this continues he'll soon reach my level

I like Spinofaarus, he's friend shaped.

W for the LEGO Batman Movie clip at the beginning

I still can’t believe that such a lasting paleomeme has JohnFaa’s name attached to it, of all people

i havent laughed this hard ina while thank you Rick

I love the design!

This, merged with the “Mr Incredible Finds Out About…” meme is glorious

So.. We don't talk about Spino?

1:07 bro NAILED that pronunciation

Spino has always been an enigma within an enigma.

it keeps evolving like a pokemon

Spinosaurus was actually the earliest ancestor of modern whales, meaning that whales are actually dinosaurs and not mammals

Omg I didn't know this existed! I love it! XD

I just realized - here its 11:57, on the 6th of April, literally a few minutes from its birthday

omg please make a series of the history of paleo memes

You're a king, Rick!

I don't care what crazy changes Spinosaurus gets, as long as we get closer to the real thing.

in 2030 we will figure out that spinosaurus was actually an invertebrate with a really weird exoskeleton

Spinosaurus gets more and more cursed every year since 2018

Happy Birthday Spinofaarus!

7:25 can this be the next episode for Lessons in Paleo Meme Culture?

“Bones too dense to swim”. Meet my friend; the hippo. Aquatic, can’t swim, and literally runs on lakebeds to murder anything in its path

Bro only started asking the REAL questions right at the very end

Gonna Love The New LIMC Video.... Wait What

good thing they've name it after it's spine which is the only constant in all of it's "evolution".

This thing doesn't have enough of a singular skeleton for anyone to make an accurate idea of it.

I remember when it was discovered that Iguanodon fossils were modified by a paleontologist to fit his vision that it walked on two legs instead of all fours, and everyone never noticed it until decades later, and only recently the Iguanodon has been depicted as walking on all fours.

At first I actually thought this was a 'Lessons in Meme Culture' video and I was so confused

Spinofaarus is clearly the best spino(also more of these paleomeme videos would be cool)

ur the best :)

Spinosaurus keeps shapshifting into new forms every year it's annoying me.

happy birthday spinofaarus

Man asks the real question at the very end

I wonder if those spines were retractable/foldable. That would maybe answer display questions. Also taking into consideration a camel's skeleton, the bones support a hump, but they are not the hump itself.

At least the interpretation in Jurassic Park 3 looks cool

Now I need a video of goofy AF drawings of what dinosaurs might have looked with their skeletons 😂

Spinosaurus is an anime protagonist, it just keeps evolving.

I love him I can’t say more about Spinofaarus
