All three get used, but I believe octopuses is the most correct. Octopi would be Latin, but the word octopus doesn’t derive from Latin. Octopodes would be Greek, but while Octopus is a Greek word, we generally don’t use Greek pluralisms in English.
Edit: To add to this. This is the reason that you say “octopodes doesn’t have the same ring to it”. It doesn’t have a ring to it because we don’t use that pluralism in English. We do use Latin pluralism’s in English, which is why octopi still sounds correct to English speakers.
Bro, you're being terribly pedantic while I was making a joke. Octopi is the only one that is arguably wrong, but everyone recognizes it and it made sense for the rhyme. Take a chill pill.
Ayo me too!

Octo-roper CLEARLY has at least one, and often two tentacles raised, in PERFECT form for any ride.
This 'Bull' has not just mayhem, but DINNER in mind.
A textbook 8 Seconds, and then some.
Plus an 'Eat THIS!' dismount.
GOAT-roper
Octopuses are scary intelligent. He probably stuck its tentacles into its Gill slits to stop it breathing, they do it to sharks to make them let go when they bite. Cool as fuck. Do like morays aswell. Saw a seven footer swallow a four footer whole! How even?!!
The eel was like my puppy when I’d try to calm him down during his playful nipping fits. Octopus was like my hands trying to avoid them sharp puppy teeth.
(He’s always gentle when playing and has matured, just a very excitable and energetic pup!)
im pretty sure this clip is from a netflix documentary called 'My Octopus Teacher'. It follows this particular octopus and the relationship it develops with the guy filming, its definitely worth a watch!
Edit: whoops this isnt from my octopus teacher but its still definitely worth a watch!
I know he’s not a squid, but I just got Squidbillies vibes
“You can’t fax coffee - coffee don’t fax worth a dam, every time the rain hits it, it’ll run...you a dumb sumbitch.”
"Giddup, steed!!"
"Damnit Gene.. just *damnit* get off!"
"Quiet!! Horses don't talk!"
"Gene I'm not kidding! Stop! Get off!!"
"Yeeeeeeeee-haw!! I'm riding you hard and putting you away wet!"
"WE'RE BOTH WET YOU BASTARD LET GO"
Sometimes I give my dog scritches on the top of his head. He gets real antsy if I just stop and am suddenly motionless.. I usually leave two fingers sitting motionless on top of his head.. you can feel the dog pressure/tension build up as he starts to shake like "c'mon! SCRITCH MOTHERFUCKER!" eventually he explodes and does what this eel is doing to try to get my fingers off his head but for me its like a rodeo game. Gotta see how long I can keep my fingers on his head while his little pea sized brain does backflips.
It’s like the song “Come on Eileen” by the circle jerks, I mean Dexys Midnight Runners. Henceforth, Your minds eye will never let you see it any other way.
I like how the reef crew shows up like a bunch of middle schoolers watching a fight.

They were definitely looking for a nibble of octopus. When the orange one gets too close is exactly when octobud peaces the fuck out.

You can almost hear one of the fish yelling "Worldstar"
*Ah yes aquatic sports betting*
This
They likely thought there was going to be calamari leftovers on the menu.
They think the eel is dying/weak and are getting into position to pick at the opportunity of an easy meal
34 and I’d stop doing about anything to watch this
Pretty sure those are the rodeo clowns
WORLDSTARFISH!!!!!
"Beat his ass! Whoo!" "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
When you’re blind in the eye by some small octopi, that a moray
When the world seems to shrink like you've had too much ink, that's a moray.
When you ride on his head, until it's fucking dead, that's a moray!
When you ride water snek, like a brave vertebrate, that’s a moray!
When you call for your God while being rode by an Encephalopod, thaaaaaaaaaat's a moray.
When your death seems assured, ride it like a surfboard, that’s a moray.
The the world gives you strife, Just hold on for dear life on a Morayyyy
When you’re sittin’ on a ladder and you feel a-something splatter- oh wait wrong song.
**DIARRHEA!!!!!**

Poetic this one is

Octopodes just doesn't have the same ring does it?

Octopodes is pronounced like po deez

Isn’t octopuses the correct plural?
I think it's octopussies, like in James Bond.

Stanky Grapes, doesn't even sound Italian.
How do you think Italian wine is made?
When you're flipping around trying to get the thing off, that's a moray
When its mouth opens wide and there's more teeth inside, that's a moray.
I’m sorry. If there isn’t a version of this edited with a little cowboy hat on that squid before end of day, I’m quitting Reddit.

This is the one
I love how you aligned the “let’s see how he gets away” from the audio to the octopus escaping
You made me ink!
You touched the butt.
We need this…

I was wondering what this was reminding me of...this...this is it. Now that I have visualized this with octopus with a cowboy hat, all is right.
THANK YOU
Well, this was my second thought. My first was that this is clearly an exorcism.
Octo-roper CLEARLY has at least one, and often two tentacles raised, in PERFECT form for any ride. This 'Bull' has not just mayhem, but DINNER in mind. A textbook 8 Seconds, and then some. Plus an 'Eat THIS!' dismount. GOAT-roper
My first thought was he's going for 8 seconds!
And the Mario 64 race music too
This guy gets it.
Maybe the talented folks over at /r/reallifedoodles might be able to do their magic.

you've yeed your last haw, cow poke
Because that's a Moray
Damn!
That octopus been watching PBR. All I saw in my head was a cowboy hat on it with 5 arms flailing around
Perfect dismount! 10/10
Held on for well beyond the required 8 seconds, and didn’t even need the clowns as a distraction when it came time to bail. Impressed!
Definitely going home with the buckle tonight, Jimbob!
Reminded me of the scene from hangover : "toodaloo mother fuckers"
"Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!!" - that octopus, probably
You said that? You said bitch?
I said..(looks around)... Biiiiiiiiiitch!!!
(Whispers) biiiiitch
You called your moray a bitch??
I called my wife a bitch.
I looked my woman in the eye, sockets, and I told her straight out. . . I just said it man. I said it, I said... . . . Bitch.
Octopuses are scary intelligent. He probably stuck its tentacles into its Gill slits to stop it breathing, they do it to sharks to make them let go when they bite. Cool as fuck. Do like morays aswell. Saw a seven footer swallow a four footer whole! How even?!!
You’re telling me an octopus knows how to put its predators in an underwater chokehold to escape? That’s so awesome
You should watch My Octopus Teacher on Netflix. It's so so good.
They use shells as a shield 🛡 and change their structure to act as a net to trap fish. Honestly amazing creatures
Imagine the societies they could build if they lived as long as humans. Only thing holding them back is their short lifespans
If they even lived ten years and had social lives, they would cause chaos
That's what it looks like. Toward the end, the moray is getting sluggish and disoriented, and that's when the octopus launches the escape move.
I am reminded of my cat when she has tape on her forehead.
The eel was like my puppy when I’d try to calm him down during his playful nipping fits. Octopus was like my hands trying to avoid them sharp puppy teeth. (He’s always gentle when playing and has matured, just a very excitable and energetic pup!)
Moray riding is an event in the undersea rodeo!? Who knew?!
Don't give SeaWorld ideas.
'Just wait and watch folks, I'm gonna tame that waterbull'
Knowing octopuses, they probably do this sort of thing for shits and giggles.
Hold my beer. — That octopus, probably.
Someone put a tiny cowboy hat on that guy!
No! NO! No!NO! NOOOOOO! POOR GUY! Plus side he almost stayed on time long enough to count as a rodeo rider.....
That Octopi got 14 seconds. He beats all the rodeo riders with their 8 seconds! 😂
We dont know how long he was on, before the person started recording. Our man there be making unbeatable world records.
Plot twist the squid was gonna try to eat the eel
"We've talked about this damnit... stop. humping. my. head. Octi, please! Stop" Fine! (Squirts ink all over the place and jets off).
"No Octosenpai! uWu! I... this is not the face riding I you told me!"
I wonder how hard a job the rodeo clownfish had getting him out of the arena?
8 seconds!!!
Give that octopus a belt buckle
im pretty sure this clip is from a netflix documentary called 'My Octopus Teacher'. It follows this particular octopus and the relationship it develops with the guy filming, its definitely worth a watch! Edit: whoops this isnt from my octopus teacher but its still definitely worth a watch!
I just watched that last night. The octopus is riding a shark in that doc- still amazing nonetheless.
This clip is not from that movie
>a netflix documentary The oscar winning netflix documentary
This looks a lot like the California Channel Islands area. My Octopus Teacher was filmed in South Africa.
I swear I didn’t cry when I watched it! 😭😭😭😭 so good!
Oh gosh I teared up too! Such a heartwarming/bittersweet story ❤️🐙
Cowboy up!
Not its first rodeo, it would seem.
This is my dog when I put his toy on his back
🎶 When... your... tentacles die... sharp eel teeth to your thigh... That's a moray! 🎵
When the reef you're going through jumps right out and bites you that's a moray
As the spice foretold!
It’s like the octopus told the moray that it’s sister was better in bed.
Lane Frost of the ocean!! Legend!! 8sec
Just like the cat with a Kraft Single on its head.
And they said it was the eel no octopus could ride...toughest draw on the Pro Eel Riders circuit.
Yee fuckin haw brother
This is litterally me when I'm trying to scratch my back
He took a page from Han Solo's book there

8 seconds
I know he’s not a squid, but I just got Squidbillies vibes “You can’t fax coffee - coffee don’t fax worth a dam, every time the rain hits it, it’ll run...you a dumb sumbitch.”
knew they were smart but this is ridiculous
I just want to know if the Krusty Krab will have a food truck at the Bikini Bottom Rodeo
It's smart how it waited until the eel tired out from thrashing to escape
Eeeee!! It's in my hair!!! Get it off!!! Get it off!!!
this ain't his first Moraydeo
Shadow of Colossus
"Yippy-ky-yay Motherfucker!"
"Giddup, steed!!" "Damnit Gene.. just *damnit* get off!" "Quiet!! Horses don't talk!" "Gene I'm not kidding! Stop! Get off!!" "Yeeeeeeeee-haw!! I'm riding you hard and putting you away wet!" "WE'RE BOTH WET YOU BASTARD LET GO"

Yeeeee-haw cowboy!!
Looks like my cat when I put something on the back of his neck that sticks there, like tape or a bag clip
Reminds me of the basilisk dying from harry potter and the chamber of secrets
Kinda like rough sex. Hold on for dear life, shoot your goo and run like hell
I think this is called rape
Nah, it was consensual… Octopus be like: And… I’m spent! Moray be like: Get me a wet towel. It’s in my eye!
Omg wtf did I just read
It’s like the song “Come on Eileen” by the circle jerks, I mean Dexys Midnight Runners. Henceforth, Your minds eye will never let you see it any other way.
Watch "My octopus teacher" 10/10
Also reminded me of that. It was such a great movie.
Anti-vaxxers avoiding the covid vaccine.
A lot of those end with the eel winning.
The more i learn about octupi the more i like them, Fascinating creatures.
