Not one, but TWO new seasons of the funniest show on TV, Whale Wars!

That's right folks, the funniest show on television is back! And not only do we get to see the Sea Sheptards in their standard Southern Ocean, but we get to see them attack some scandinavian island that kills a few hundred Pilot Whales a year. What could be better than one season of the Sea Pirate zoo crew? Two seasons!

Although full disclosure, this new Pilot Whales season is sort of lame. Obviously the best part of Whale Wars is the self-destructive nature of this amateur crew of societal rejects that are living off of mommy and daddy's money still. Whether it is crashing a ship, destroying equipment on them, or almost killing themselves with complete idiotic plans; it is pure comedic gold. Thus far this whole Island thing doesn't bode well for that because it doesn't push them far enough. There is one guy using a glider plane though and that looks like it could go very wrong, so keep your fingers crossed. If he crashes it into the boat ill probably piss my pants.

As for the main Whale Wars, i just saw a preview and it looks good. The japanese sort of got lazy last season. It was still a really funny season, but i hope to see them really push the Sea Sheptards this season. Could it be the season where one of the Sea Sheptards pays a permanent visit to Davey Jone's locker? Will this be the season the Sea Stooges sink one of their ships? We can only hope!


If you are new to the show, here's a little break down on some of the crew:

Admiral Paul Watson:

The leader of the zoo crew. He normally spends most of his time in his personal quarters eating chicken wings and boozing up, that is until the action hits. Then he stumbles up to the wheelhouse and usually throws the ship into 'manual' so he can look cool and spin the wheel around. He also likes to pretend he has actual authority mandated to him by the UN, which is funny. He is also know as Paul Walrus, because he looks like a Walrus. Also infamous for pretending that the Japanese whalers tried to shoot him in the first season but the bullet magically smashed into his fake sherriff badge he got at Wall Drug and he was saved.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

First Mate/Captain Peter Hammarstedt:

Also known as "Squirrel Boy" or "The Rat King". Best known for being Paul Watson's errand boy. He is technically in charge but due to the fact he was born without a spine it means anyone on board can take charge over him. Squirrel Boy has never worked an actual day in his life and lives off of 'donations' from mommy and daddy.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Lieutenant Pottsy:

Most know him as "The Man Who's Never Showered". Almost well known for boarding one of the whaling ships to serve an official Sea Sheptard Warrant of arrest. At which point, he was arrested for trespassing. He typically drives the dingy and has almost killed himself and his crew multiple times. This could be the year he actually pulls it off.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Captain Locky:

Locky is the poser who drives the Sea Sheptards little stealth speed boat thingy. Well, actually the second of their "bat boats" because they purposely crashed into a japanese whaling vessel to score insurance payments on their first one. Captain Locky likes to look badass save for when the japanese whalers actually chase him, at which point he is the helpless victim.

So make sure you tune, this season looks really promising. They already showed some shot from the helicopter of what looks like a wave runner tipped over. I can't wait to see what other self created problems plague the Sea Stooges this season! Tune in Fridays starting June 1st. Oh and you can already catch the currrent alternate Whale Wars on Fridays on Animal Planet. The good season starts June 1st though.

It's an amusing show.


They really do enjoy shooting themselves in the foot...

I hope that they attack svalbard, seeing those hippies caught between a pissed of local population where everyone is armed and a bunch of angry ice bears would be hilarious.

Soo they are trying to convince the population of the Faraoe Islands that "Whaling is bad you gotta stop cus its politically incorrect" when they have been waling there as part of tradition for more than a thousand years?

Arrogant Bastards.

I think their intent is to go after illegal whaling is it not?

You guys can make fun of them all you want. But, at the end of the day, who has their own TV show and is having grand misadventures on the high seas, and who is sitting here on TWC? Lol.

Seriously though, I enjoy the show. It's even funnier now that I think of the Shogun: 2 naval voice acting. "HERE DEY COME! PREPARE TO REPEL BOR-DAZ!!" "OUR ADMIRAL IS IN DANGER!!! HE'S TOO IMPORTANT TOULOUSE!!!!" "DIS IS AH BLACK DEY!" and of course... "YO! HOHO! YO! HO! YO! HOHO! YO! HO!"

Also infamous for pretending that the Japanese whalers tried to shoot him in the first season but the bullet magically smashed into his fake sherriff badge he got at Wall Drug and he was saved.

Doesn't sound like there was any make believe going on if that's the case or was that his story?

I read that a flash bang went off an a piece of it got him...Hardly getting shot.


Besides, technically what they are doing is illegal. I'm waiting for someone to die from their "adventures"

Well I know they tread a legal line they admit it, but I can hardly feel sympathy for anyone breaking the law to whale.

Oh I agree with that.

I'm not particularly happy with it either.


But I don't feel sympathy for the group if they try to ram another ship and they get stranded.

Frankly, I'm surprised no one has actually died yet...

They should try to come up with more non invasive tactics, I mean if they actually killed someone on either side it would be a bad day for the whales overall.

They do not go after illegal whaling. What the Japanese do is perfectly legal. The legislation is blatently shady, but still legal. Teh law specifically states the japanese can harvest whales for research under the pretense that they actually do something with the meat of the whale, instead of wasting it. So, they basically obey the law from the other way around. They harvest whales for meat and do research to fullfil their other obligation. Nothing illegal about it. Tehy get different quotas for different types of whales. 99% of the whale they kill are Minke whales. Minke whales have a great population growth despite their harvest. Which is really good. Means the harvest is probably a good thing. The large expanding Minkes are probably cutting into the more dangered whales food supply. So, cull the herd.

Usually the Japanese get a quota of 50 for Humpback whales and Gray Whales. Usually they kill maybe 1 or 2. Past couple of years i think they took a total of 1 Humpback. Which btw, is all on the whaling website. They don't hide a whole lot as they publish what tehy do as research.

The faroese? WEll, the Sea Shepherds, that's how they survive. I've got native relatives in Alaska who kill and eat the same non-endangered Pilot whales as the Faroese eat. Actually, might be Norwals, whatever though.

I enjoy the show because 99% of the time the Sea Sheptards plans blow up in their face! For example, for years they have been tryin gto drag a tow rope and foul the props of the japanese whalers. They never accomplished it, and even accidently prop fouled their own boat. But then last year they finally pulled it off on a Japanese ship that was tailing them that they were trying to ditch. So you'd think they'd run. Nope, Whaling vessell called a Mayday and international law required the Sea Stooges to stand by and make sure the whaling vessel could repair itself and wasn't stranded. LMAO!!! Probably should have thought that out.

The part that bothers me is the violence they bring to the whalers. They throw glass jars of rotten butter at them, throw flares on their deck, throw jars of this slippery substance on deck, and last but not least fire potatoe guns at them. They can talk about how they aren't aiming at someone, but these idiots have no aim in the first place. A potato gun can EASILY permanently harm or kill a person, easily. Even a glass bottle of rotten butter could kill someone. If someone came and started throwing glass bottles of rotten butter at me while i was hunting deer, they'd get shot, and then they'd go to jail for assault. The Sea Sheptards only attack the Japanese so aggressively because of their passiveness. Norwegians whale and Paul Watson's bumbling idiots won't touch them.

BTW, it was a bullet that Paul Watson found on badge. It was completely set up. On the second season tehy also set up a situation where3 an asian guy delivered them an envelope of fake anthrax. It's BS to try and fire up the show and the cause. Oh also, the Faroese whalers have become so good at whaling that every kill takes under 30 seconds. If it takes more the person is not seen as fit to be doing it..

Well I feel much better now knowing that everyone is being honest and playing within the rules.

LOL... by the way should I take everything you say as truth or are you going to spit out some sources?

Sources for what? The law is stated on the show. It's obvious what the japanese are doing is legal. It's an ugly execution of the law, but legal nonethe less. What do you exactly want sources for?

Do you have any sources for your ludicrous claims that what the Japanese are doing is illegal?

how is it that when the whalers and the semen from the Sea Shepard are both in port, they never get into fights?

Anyways, one has to question how much research the Japanese are actualy getting out of whaling, what their true intent is and issues of sustainability.
A few more so heres a wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whaling_controversy

I've heard some dirt on greenpeace, maybe these guys said you greenpeace we're the true nature warriors! anyway thanks for the link I'll check it out.

After questioning an OP like that somehow I'm the one making claims here?

Paul Watson is the definition of an Eco-terrorist. That's why Green Peace didn't want him...

Eco terrorism actively seeks to harm people, every one of the episodes I've seen, the Sea Stooges have taken multiple measures to include making contact with their targets to ensure they don't harm the whalers, while attempting to discourage or disrupt their activities.

If that's what you call terrorism I'd say you're being a little pretentious.

He's not competent enough to be an Eco-terrorist.
