    Imagine you're being hunted by a monster and a clearly-fake human just shows up and silently hands you a cloaking device.

    Everyone "i hate my job." Spy octopus operator *smirks
  • @kaylamarie8309
    The real octopus realized that the spy wasn't an actual octopus, but I believe it also realized that the spy intentionally brought the shell to him to help. It wasn't theft. It was acceptance of aid from a friend . The real octopus did show spy gratitude. Amazingly intelligent creatures.

    Shark 1: "Mate I think this octopus is a bit sus." Shark 2: "Why?" Shark 1: "There's two humans with massive cameras filming it."

    Spy Octopus walking around with the little coconut helmet was so adorable!
  • @Sakine-animate
    I just love knowing that it’s a person on the other side of the octopus and they’re just like “oh, I need to help this little guy. Let me find a coconut or something” and is just on a video game mission
  • @BrianLockett
    Real octopus: "Thanks, bro! You're a real one!" Fake octopus: "Not really."
  • The close ups on Spy Octopus looking oblivious and waddling clumsily everywhere like a kid in a halloween costume, contrasted with the real Octopus' delicate and precise slither, added a real comedic touch to everything! 🤣 I want to see more of Spy Octopus and their "friends" who steal Spy Octopus' protection against the shark pretending to just be passing by. 🤣
  • @TheFluffyKitty
    The real octopus giving the robot a brohug was so wholesome 😢❤
  • @1Kaileegirl
    We all need that friend that shows up with a coconut helmet to protect us keep us safe from harm ❤
  • @eatabowlofshit
    The little coconut octopus was so grateful and the spy octopus stood there proudly after helping him, as if saying, "Don't mention it, that's what I do around these parts" — what a little hero 😂 I love this video.
  • "Being aware of what others are thinking is a good sign of intelligence." I felt that. 🐙
  • My dumb ass thinking it was a real octopus all this time 🤣 💀 Thanks for the likes. Glad I’m not the only one 😭
  • @duskbringer4583
    Octopus with a hat: "G'day sir." Shark: "You too. What a nice talking hat."
  • @Mortthemoose
    Two very intelligent species. The sharks knew that Spy Octopus wasn't real, and so did the Octopus.
  • @OstblockLatina
    OMG he pets him at the end, I'm crying! Octopuses are incredibly intelligent - hadn't it been for the fact they only live up to 5 years and die shortly after having bred only once in their life, not passing any knowledge to their offspring, they would've totally taken over the world.

    "Yo, what you do for a living?" "I operate a robot octopus and film it's adventures."
  • @wizewizard1840
    The way the little octopus peeks out. .... what an adorable little fella.
