“See, your murderers come with smiles, they come as your friends, the people who've cared for you all of your life. And they always seem to come at a time that you're at your weakest and most in need of their help.”
Eel: Lobsters are friends, not food.
5 years later.
Eel: I have waited for this moment for what seems to be an eternity. Burdened with glorious purpose, and now my day of reckoning has finally arrived. It is time I claim my rightful destiny.
"It's OK Mr Lobster I won't eat you... right now" says the eel to the lobster.
"Phew! What a relief! .... Wait what?!' Replies the lobster.
This post was for the shell of it. Dad jokes for days son!
This definitely feels like an episode of to catch a predator. That eel is chilin in the corner like “I don’t know why I’m here, she said she like zima”.
Many years ago we were out fishing lobster and my younger brother was in the cabin seasick and trying to nap. We caught a conger eel in one of the traps, so I grabbed it and shortly after he woke up with it kissing him on the lips.
I hope the eel was dead! They can give a super nasty bite
There was an article a couple of years ago about a British diver who got bitten, he was missing a big chunk of his cheek.
When I took this video I made sure to stay well away and put the camera on a stick, don’t want to end up to close to their mouth, particularly free diving
This isn't a Congo eel.
Congo eels are amphiumas, which I'm pretty certain is not.
Amphiumas also don't make friends with lobsters and wait to eat them. They eat crayfish any size.

Sorry. This was the first time I heard the term conger eel outside of aphiumas. TiL there are actual eels called conger eels
From the internet: A female lobster mates primarily when she is in the soft-shell state,
right after she has shed her shell (molted).
So no, doesn’t help at all!
This is like in *Gladiator* where that one guy has a net and a trident. You're like, there's no way that's effective, but there more you think about it, the more unbeatable it is.
Man, that's fucked up. I like eels less now. Next time I see one, I'm going to rock its shit, for the lobsters who in their most vulnerable moments couldn't. 😔
Lobster is looking in all the wrong places for a moray.
Laughs in Italian
“See, your murderers come with smiles, they come as your friends, the people who've cared for you all of your life. And they always seem to come at a time that you're at your weakest and most in need of their help.”
Now I've gotta turn my back on you.
Mighty Boosh?
blind betrayal
“Get your fuckin’ shine box!”
He’s a made man!
Precisely why we're not buying it about the "wise men" this time around either.
I’m sorry but why all the goodfellas quotes? (I don’t understand, but desperately want to be a part of this)
🤌🏽
Margherriiittiiii
He just wants to congergate.
That took me a sec, thank you
BARS

The long con
I'm an eel - it's what I do..."

They even drop stuff for the lobster to eat in front of their cave during the “befriend” process That’s some serious long term planning
Sounds like the early steps of domesticating livestock.
They feed the lobster dinner, then have them for dinner.
I mean, you have to fatten up your meal first, not much of a meal otherwise.
Hansel says so at least.
He’d rather eat Randy: https://youtu.be/xqKPe9w5bUs
[удалено]
It’s almost like he’s rEELing him in with a false sense of security.
That lobster is definitely in a pinch…
This reminds me of the "[Come to Papa](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l5QgdudtfGc) short.
Taking grooming to a whole other level
The lobster has been eel-advised
Seems like an average marriage
Ah yes. Most of my friends and ex girlfriends. I knew there was something fishy about them.
Would you care to eelaborate?
They were eels.
This definitely feels like an episode of to catch a predator. That eel is chilin in the corner like “I don’t know why I’m here, she said she like zima”.
So why isn’t there a Disney movie about their friendship yet?
I don’t think the audience is ready for the ending!
Flotsam and Jetsom become roommates with Sebastian for Disney’s first sitcom.
Playing the long game. (Slow clap)
I sea what you did here
There’s something fishy about that Conger eel.
Can’t trust anyone. Snakes in the grass, and water…🥲
New movie drops: Snakes in the Eelgrass
This brings a new meaning to a toxic relationship and blind betrayal
"To Serve ~~Man~~ Lobster"
What a terrible roommate
Never room with an eel.
That's called farming.
Mind blown
So basically they are farming them

The eel likes to play the long game I see
Never trust a snake .. lookalike..
Playing the long game here
With friends like that you don’t need enemies 🦞
Talk about being fattened with friendship for the slaughter
Sadly , a lot of humans operate the same way.
I thought he was gonna scran him
Two weeks later I found the funk in bed with a conger eel…
Such betrayal of friendship
With friends like these
I guess you could say that eels are in the snake family
Wow it looks like mammals didn't invent marriage after all .
Have you ever heard the tale of Darth Plaguis, the wise? It’s not a tale the lobsters would tell you…
Nature sucks
Toxic relationships come in all shapes and sizes
Ahh... Marriage finally defined...
It really be your own boys
I guess all the dead lobsters can’t warn any of their buddies, so they just assume it’s safe, over and over again, eels are mastermind
I kept waiting to see the eel eat the lobster. Please tell me I'm not the only one?
...but do the lobsters know?
Sounds eerily similar to my last marriage...
There's a lesson here.
Many years ago we were out fishing lobster and my younger brother was in the cabin seasick and trying to nap. We caught a conger eel in one of the traps, so I grabbed it and shortly after he woke up with it kissing him on the lips.
I hope the eel was dead! They can give a super nasty bite There was an article a couple of years ago about a British diver who got bitten, he was missing a big chunk of his cheek.

How does this help the lobster reproduce? Do they have enough time to lay eggs before molting?
From the internet: A female lobster mates primarily when she is in the soft-shell state, right after she has shed her shell (molted). So no, doesn’t help at all!
Is there no selective pressure making lobsters less tolerant of cohabitation?
Talk about a long con 😂😂😂
Manipulative bastards
That's called farming.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
It be you’re own roommate sometimes
“Hello human fren, this my smol fren. He tasty”
Playing the long game.
sounds like a lot of the stories that come out of r/AmItheAsshole
Sounds like my ex
Friends with benefits
Top 10 anime betrayals
Just like me and my last boyfriend!
This is like in *Gladiator* where that one guy has a net and a trident. You're like, there's no way that's effective, but there more you think about it, the more unbeatable it is.
Is the lobster bib a giveaway?
We’ll just growing Pinchy the Lobster
Come at me bro!
"I'm sorry Mr. Lobster but I'm an eel - it's what I do..."
That’s chill
It’s hang out with your friend gal friend
Gotta groom em while they're young -Albert Epstein-
imagine living with and getting to know next years christmas dinner
Fuckin Pixar movie waiting to happen
Genius!
Ah yes, The Eel and The Lobster fable.
I watched an episode of The Simpson’s where Homer friended up a lobster just to eat it lol
r/smilepleasse
Eel: “Yo dude, there’s someone watching us. Check this shit out.” Lobster: “Oi mothafucka! what are you doing on our property? Get back!”
Some friend.
So when Mr Lobster feels that itch he starts sidling for the door.
I thought this was r/dating for a minute there 😂
Lobster: Heyo Frankie this guy bothering you? Eel: Hey Donnie it’s ok. He’s with me he's a friend of ours.
The eel’s name is Liam McAtasney.
Found his mark. Get your bag, son
“The Conger Eel used to come once a week, he taught us drawling, stretching and falling bring in coils”
Man, that's fucked up. I like eels less now. Next time I see one, I'm going to rock its shit, for the lobsters who in their most vulnerable moments couldn't. 😔
The long con!!
That's very no bro of him
Like waiting for banana's to turn yellow...
Fake friends man
Eel: You aren't molting right? Lobster: no Eel: Good, we can get along for now. After that it gets difficult.
Smart
Ah kind of like how women seek rich until they die lol
Just like smallmouth bass and crayfish here in Wisconsin mid-summer.
I didn't choose the grotto life...
7 days: They still have no idea i’m not a lobster.
Long term investment
I had a roommate like this once. She was my ex-wife
House guest with future benefits
That's one patient roommate waiting to "hit"
The lobster is like "what?!? Boyyyyy! Me and my big cousin over here , you want smoke, it's rated e for everyone."
Any one else read that as ghetto first?
That lobster wanted all the smoke
How does one befriend a lobster?
“Let him cook” -the eel, probably
