In a recent Reddit video titled "A tornado flew around my room," the topic of discussion took an unexpected turn when the question of naming all five oceans arose. As the video transcript reveals, the person behind the camera posed the question, and the individual being recorded confidently responded, "Yeah. Well, yeah. All right, the Atlantic Ocean is a Pacific Ocean. There's the Arctic Ocean. Indian Ocean and Frank Ocean."

This seemingly innocuous response sparked a wave of confusion among viewers, as reflected in the comments section. One user admitted, "Got really confused, because I was like 'Surely there's just the four? I was only ever taught about four.' And it turns out they just went and added a whole new ocean after I graduated school. What did I even learn all that stuff for if it's all just gonna be wrong a couple years later."

For those wondering, another comment clarifies that the fifth ocean is the "Southern Ocean," which was recently proposed by the US as effectively the Antarctic Ocean. However, not everyone was pleased with this addition, as one user expressed their personal dislike for the inclusion.

Amidst the oceanic confusion, other comments veered off-topic, touching on various ocean-related references. One user questioned the relevance of the video title, while another playfully mentioned Frank Ocean's renowned album, "Channel Orange." The video's subject is commended for their knowledge, with a comment noting, "Honestly, he did a lot better than most folks I see in videos like this, and capped it off with a joke."

The comments section also became a space for users to list different types of oceans, such as the Grand Line, Blue Line, All Blue, Sky Ocean, and Calm Belt. However, amidst the humor and references, users couldn't help but mention famous names like Billy Ocean and the Ocean's film franchise, with multiple comments specifically referencing Ocean's 11, 12, and 13.

While the video itself may have been intended to test one's knowledge of the world's oceans, it inadvertently sparked a broader discussion among viewers. As the comments section reveals, the inclusion of the Southern Ocean and the mention of various ocean-related names and references added an unexpected twist to an otherwise straightforward question.

In the end, it seems that the video successfully entertained and engaged its audience, leaving them pondering not only the five oceans but also the cultural impact of names like Frank Ocean and the Ocean's film series. So next time you're asked to name all the oceans, remember, it's not just about geography but also the fascinating connections and conversations that can arise from a seemingly simple question.

For those wondering, the fifth is the “Southern Ocean” which was very recently proposed by the US as, effectively, the Antarctic Ocean. I, personally, dislike this.
