Knowing another guy is bobbing in the water shoving a phone in that guy's face while an octopus tries to choke him out really is the cherry on top of all this

u/Iamthewalnutcoocooc 27d ago

Its like rule when filming nature you cant intervene.

Steve Irwin or David Attenborough?

Think Sean' natural environment is a mid-level Public Relations employee meeting for a Scranton soda company

Yes. Butterfly effect and all. Nature knows what it's doing.

u/ORO_ERICIUS 26d ago

Yes. its not natural what he is doing anyway. This guy deserves it imo

1

u/John-Doe-Is-Back 27d ago

No wonder the cameraman always comes out alive! I been trying to figure out if it was pure luck or was there some code/rule they all lived by. Thank you kind Sir! 🤣

u/Pluckypato 25d ago

So that’s what “let nature take its course” was all about! 😳

u/kerplop13 27d ago

If an animal tries to kill me I'm kicking its ass no expectation

14

u/theoriginalmofocus 27d ago

Yeah and the camera guy will be there to sit back and film it.

4

u/DevonLuck24 27d ago

no expectation of what though

1

u/Ok-Club5256 27d ago

Maybe Kerplop13 means that he has no expectations of animals attacking him out of the blue for no reason. I wouldn't expect that of an animal either. They pretty much mind their own business unless they have to defend themselves. Man, these octopi are great teachers all around ;)

1

u/kerplop13 27d ago

I assumed this guy was talking about the laws about not messing with animals in nature

9

u/Reddit-User-3000 27d ago

He was making a joke about the laws of nature photographers who post videos of animals interacting with them and often mention they aren’t allowed to intervene.
The joke here is that with the interaction between the human hunting the octopus and the octopus attacking back in defence, the outcome of the fight, even if it’s the octopus killing the man, is just a classic natural interaction, so the nature photography laws in this case prevent the cameraman from interfering with the human or the octopus in their natural habitat.
It’s funny because it’s served as an alternative to the real reason the cameraman kept filming, which is that he was more worried about the film that the man’s safety.

Ok, here's my try at a random Lasagna Poem: Lasagna, so sloppy, you'll get some on ya. Such a tasty dish, it's so delish. Green, white and red, mozzarella stretching into a fine thread. With this thread, I'd knit you a sweater but I'm busy making lasagna, it just tastes so much better. It's so tasty, when it comes to making lasagna, I'm never hasty. I'm on my lunch break so this poem needs to end unless someone wants to continue it and too, be a poet or at least pretend.

u/Ok-Club5256 27d ago

Kerplop13

Yeh, funny you should mention that because tonight's the night that pack of racoon are planning to enter your domain and attack you with sticks. They have no expectations of you preparing with their planned attack but they will make an exception.

u/theoriginalmofocus 27d ago

One of the Scariest animals ive ever been close to was a skunk at night.

66

u/Greedy-Excitement-82 27d ago

Sean can go fuck himself. That octopus was just trying to chill and mind its own business until dipshit Sean who couldn't just leave well enough alone had to come around and fuck his day up.

2

u/Fr0hd3ric 24d ago

He should know better than to enrage a cephalopod!

2

u/Hali-Gani 24d ago

Total agree… Sean fucked around and found out why he should leave a wild animal alone.

2

u/Every-Lingonberry946 26d ago

Fuck that Octopus.

Fuck that Octopus

I'm with you.

u/Practical_Middle6376 26d ago

The octopus fucked up Sean’s day

u/deedeebop 27d ago

To be fair, Sean is a stupid motherfucker who deserves it

20

u/hoovermeupscotty 27d ago

I was rooting for the octopus the whole time. If he’d let go of its head it might not have gone so badly.

2

u/pmmeyourgear 26d ago

He was being hunted for food, so it was a matter of life and death for the octopus no matter

5

u/DrAniB20 24d ago

I was high key hoping the octopus won or got away. Very sad to see the end.

u/NoRemose 23d ago

Oh no it's dead?

People are acting like Sean and the camera man found themselves in that vantage among wild life by being nice people.

u/IntenseZuccini 26d ago

He started it? He speared the octopus. I was hoping he would get choked out and die.

2

u/Iamthewalnutcoocooc 26d ago

For my comment, it was what the video guy could be saying about the diver. Felt like some dumb n dumber things were happening.

I agree. Fuck those guys

2

u/derpderb 27d ago

Fuck Sean

2

u/MaxStatic 27d ago

Meh, Sean’s a prick.

u/[deleted] 26d ago

Not like it seems they have much respect for life anyway.

2

u/TsarFate 25d ago

He doesn't seem like a nice person to know, based on this video at least. Dick move to fuck with the lil guy like that

u/Honey-and-Venom 24d ago

"seems fair"

u/Iamthewalnutcoocooc 24d ago

Fuck oath. I wish he choked

u/Seanrocks30 25d ago

Shit guess we dyin now

1

u/safe_city_ 24d ago

He has a knife at his right side. Seems like the diver realized he messed up and was trying not to harm the animal. But idk, maybe he’s just a moron?

1

u/Iamthewalnutcoocooc 24d ago

Idk man cos he spears it at the start. Detective safe city on the case slams diver over moron decision

1

u/Bytogram 24d ago

Camera man shoulda done a lil kitty seduce on the octopus.

1

u/Synpharia 27d ago

I laughed way too hard at

'woweeee I'm going to get so many updoots'!!! 🤣

u/Monster_Pickle420 26d ago

That guy was laughing, he was fine, you're not funny. Plus, Sean deserved that shit.

u/Miss_Cathy_Linton 27d ago

Lmao updoots 💀

u/Budded 27d ago

I'm always rooting for the octopus, such amazing creatures. This diver deserved what they got.

u/electricvelvet 25d ago

They are but they only live for 1-3 years. I was against eating them because of their intelligence but you're not depriving them of much. And besides when you're harvesting to eat them usually you just bite their head and they die instantly.

2

u/Legitimate_Nobody_69 24d ago

Imagine a 2000 yo alien biting human head off at the age of 30, I mean humans only live for about 60-80 years, not losing much lol.

u/[deleted] 27d ago

That’s what that guy gets for fucking with sea life let alone an octopus.

2

u/RS_Someone 27d ago

A story is enjoyed by more people when there is a camera man, but sometimes a story can also be enjoyed more because there is a camera man. r/DontHelpJustFilm

2

u/AlpacaOurBags 26d ago

That’s what dude gets for fucking with the octopus in its own house 🤷‍♀️

2

u/FitzwilliamTDarcy 26d ago

Right? Super lucky for the guy that the octopus didn't insert a tentacle right down his throat and choke him to death. The cameraman would've gotten some great footage.

1

u/Ars3n 27d ago

Nah. Phones are not that waterproof. That was a professional camera.

Not like it changes much xD

u/LowIronLvls 26d ago

Send that octopus Dagestan for 6 months and forget

u/Adorable-Eye9733 26d ago

That’s a good friend to video for insurance purposes how his friend died!

u/OttoHarkaman 27d ago

Cameraman wasn’t fucking with the octopus. He didn’t want to keep the diver from learning a life lesson.

u/MrDeviantish 27d ago

Cameramen are the sole witnesses to most "Fuck around and find out" events.

u/TheGhoulOne 27d ago

They also hold a lot of beers. 😜

u/The-Entire_USSR 27d ago

A bigger one would just show up with massive dad/main character energy if the camera man got involved.

u/xxdrakexx 24d ago

It's like Man vs Wild, the camera crew be ordering take out while Grylls eating slugs and chugging his own urine.

u/itookthepuck 27d ago

Cameraman was "recently" was thrown in the river by emperical gaurds. Different video.

u/TurnkeyLurker 27d ago

Cameraman was "recently" was thrown in the river by emperical gaurds. Different video.

Emperical gaurds are gaurds that are verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment. No ordinary gaurd.

u/Lionheart_723 27d ago

Yeah but if that was me the cameraman would be getting his ass whooped when we get out the water

1

u/_walston_ 27d ago

Literal survivorship bias. You just don’t see the cameraman shoots that don’t survive

1

u/Acrobatic_Quit1378 27d ago

Mr Irwin, respectfully, may you rest in peace

u/-XanderCrews- 27d ago

He’d watch you die for that shot. True professional

38

u/Donnerdrummel 27d ago

When making a documentary of nature, you should not intervene. And what good would that do, either? The wolf will kill just another rabbit when the documentarian isn't watching and not intervening.

1

u/[deleted] 26d ago

Let’s mix up vandalism and animal cruelty with creating a documentary, shall we?

1

u/Donnerdrummel 26d ago

the point of my joke, and, as I have realized to late, xandercrews' point, too, was that the camera man was filming the documentary, and that the nature they documented included both the diver and the animal, and that they should not intervine when the wolf (octupus) killed the rabbit (diver). The funny points were the juxtaposition of hunter / prey as well as nature / human.

As for what really happened: it looks like the diver gathered food, but i didn't listen to the sound (if there was any). how you interpret that is up to you.

have a good day!

1

u/EducationRelative894 27d ago

Yeah, cause it's a win-win situation for him.

u/Windexx22 27d ago

That's right. Witness fucking around, don't get in the way of the finding out. Cameraman code.

u/SouthofthePaw 27d ago

“My boy’s gonna die; he’s gonna die right in front of me (zoom in); what do I do???”

u/Im_Literally_Allah 27d ago

Literally just filming because the diver didn’t deserve help

u/AcidHouseMouse 27d ago

Octopus really showing off for the camera here. What a tart!

u/theREALlackattack 27d ago

He normally shoots Japanese porn

u/3MTA3-Please 27d ago

Of not helping…probably laughed their asses off watching this later after beers

u/Far-Orange-3047 27d ago

Would be great to add this footage on his National Geographic resume

I call BS on this whole video. Why were they filming? Why no help?

/r/donthelpjustfilm

u/Additional-War19 27d ago

He did everything himself. Maybe I would have tried to help but I would have hesitated honestly, like, you get what you ask for. He messed with one of the smartest and strongest animals on earth.

u/Itchy_Professor_4133 27d ago

I bet the octopus was in on it too

u/manbruhpig 27d ago

Some content maker spear fishers/divers hire an hourly camera person and tell them not to intervene.

u/dotajoe 27d ago

Yeah. That octopus was clearly in on it and just acting.

u/1-Ohm 27d ago

Do you believe everything you see onscreen is a "historical document"?
