Summary

A parody of a nature documentaries, the video opens with curtains revealing the ocean, as a narrator praises the sea as a "vast space... of nothing." Suddenly, the narrator's peace is disturbed by the emergence of dolphins, conceding that it used to be empty. "An Update Aquatic" is announced, as the narrator whines about the dolphin's grace, before showing footage of tropical fish and turtles on a beach. The narrator is audibly annoyed by their slowness, saying they don't have all day to get into the water. They then appear inside of a coral reef, which the narrator calls majestic, before being shown a shipwreck, which the narrator calls sad. However, a drowned appears, which the narrator cheerfully identifies as a survivor.

Moving onto icebergs, the narrator appears to either change their mind on the tragedy of shipwrecks or make a very distasteful joke, saying that icebergs are "why all those stupid ships sank." They then change the topic to bubble columns, simply remarking "bubbles" before being startled by the appearance of a phantom, which they remark "isn't very aquatic." As they're shown ocean ruins, they concede they "sound somewhat entertaining," and then see a barrage of new features, including coral reefs, cod, kelp, turtle eggs, tridents, buried treasure, salmon, seagrass, underwater ravines, tropical fish, and finally pufferfish. Remarking "what a kook!" to the sight of a pufferfish, the narrator warms up to the prospect of updating the oceans. As the video ends, it is credited as starring "assorted fish," as well as "crafted by many DEVELOPERS, a few PIXEL ARTISTS & inspired by real-life OCEANS."
