Killer porpoise!
You did that on porpoise!
Thanks it was a killer joke.
Cetacean needed.
Orcas are dolphins, but porpoises are not.
TIL.
"how dare you?! I am an orca. That other name is offensive."
"I am a dolphin, not a whale."
An orca isn't an Italian orc?
Only if you say it like this: orc-à 👌
Not being a whaleologist, this joke took me 15 seconds to get, but got it I did.
I legit thought it was an orcas-are-technically-dolphins joke that I didn't quite get
Wait, that isn't the joke? Can you explain it simpletons like me?
Orcas are also known as killer whales. The joke is that the prosecutor is trying to get him to call himself a killer.
Omg I can't believe I didn't get that. Thank you for explaining it
Killer whale

I think tom scott did a video where he mentioned that in the original languange it was "whale killer" not killer whale but people tranlated it word for word, losinh the meaning.
Sir, you are not helping your client's case in the slightest...
Arent they actually dolphins?
Dolphins and orcas are both porpoises. :)
No, dolphins and porpoises are separate families. Orcas are with the dolphins. Porpoises are actually closer with other types of whales like belugas and narwhals. At least per the most widely accepted taxonomy.
All of these are classified as cetaceans though (infraoder, above family) and of course have a common ancestor if you go back far enough.
Oh! :0
Stamets, what the hell? Are you trying to break my upvote finger or something? It's starting to get sore...
Your Otter! This trial is nothing but a whale hunt!
We call them "blubber snatchers"
Bath wolves
Wasn't there an episode of Bob's burgers about this? Where they had a trial of the wicked witch?
The real question is, are beluga wales good lawyers?
Why, because they're white?!
