This is the rare wild Wildlife Commentary Spoof, in its natural habitat. What a fantastic opportunity to observe its natural behavior! Let's follow over its shoulder, camouflaged by our Adventurer Outfits in khaki — they'll blend in not only against the elephant and black-rhino tusks we're poaching, but also against Steve Irwin. Be careful to speak in the same volume level as golf commentary, so as not to disturb the "creature" being observed. Let us further describe this species: Voice: Often, the "documentarian' will affect an accent of the wildlife adventurer or commentator of their choice. Popular English language examples are David Attenborough's soft, clipped British Accent ("Hee-re, in the Amazonian rainforest..."); the iconic Awesome Aussie Steve Irwin's easily recognizable Australian Accent ("Crikey! She's a beauty!"); Jacques Cousteau's famous French accent; and the voice of Morgan Freeman, due to the popularity of the March of the Penguins documentary. Content: The character being observed will often be given a fake "scientific name" in Dog Latin that usually sounds like some funny or insulting description of the person. ("Here we have the stupidus idius, the dumbest creature on the planet...") There may also be references to a character's "mating habits" or a "courting ritual" as a common joke, especially if this is what is prompting the spying in the first place. Sometimes the joke ends with a "tune in next week!" line, saying they will observe more behavior from the subject, or sometimes promising dangerous and crazy stunts with animals ("Tune in next week, where I'll crawl inside a tiger's mouth and tickle its stomach! For Science!!") or alluding to more observations of the "animal". A Dead Horse Trope variation would have an elderly man commenting, "While Jim is wrestling the giant alligator [or some other deadly place we've just left Jim], I'd like to take a moment to talk to you about life insurance." This was based on the Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom series, popular in the 1960s and 1970s. (Marlin Perkins got too old to go out into the field and began doing commentary — and commercial breaks — from the studio, hence the comedy.) A big component of what makes this amusing is that most characters who use this act like Large Ham Announcers. Compare Mockumentary. Mock Cousteau is a sub-trope. |

On MythBusters, Adam frequently describes Jamie as a "wild Hyneman in its natural environment." See most of the clips of this in this video. Jamie is well aware of this; in one episode, while Adam was in the middle of doing this (there's fifty feet or so between them, so he wouldn't necessarily hear exactly what Adam's talking about), he turned around and said "Is he doing his David Attenborough thing again?", causing Adam to bust up laughing. On the episode when the Build Team tests out the Sand Necktie myth: Adam also does a similar gag while guiding a big ballistics gel block through a swimming pool: |

In a 2006 Late Night with Conan O'Brien episode, Conan sets a salt lick out in the studio to lure in celebrities so he can observe them in their natural environment, narrating their actions in a hushed voice. Sure enough, "a Jeff Goldblum" enters the studio to taste it — with body language more animal than human, and without saying a word. He goes on to, among other things, lick Conan's forehead and sniff his hair ("Don't want to agitate the Goldblum; they're very dangerous"), scrounge the guest chairs for awards, and woo a female of the species (Rachel Dratch) with such "preening" as an Anticipatory Breath Spray. | |

The Ren & Stimpy Show episodes "Untamed Wild" and "Lair of the Lummox" were both spoofs of nature shows, with Ren and Stimpy playing the role of the host and his assistant respectively. "Untamed Wild" has the two travel to a version of the Galapagos Islands inhabited by animals based on themselves. It ends with a creature named the Frilled Ren using its necksack to attract other nature show hosts. "The Lair of the Lummox" has them travel to the fictious country of Ignoramia to seek out the titular brutish Human Sub Species. |

Animaniacs (2020): The third season's "Planet Warner" goes over a typical day on the Warner movie lot, with every character speaking in symbolic barks and squeals and a David Attenborough-like voice narrating the scenes. The creative crew's attempt to pitch a new character is treated like a fragile newborn trying to survive the wild, only to be cruelly shut down and abandoned by the executives when the pitch fails. Meanwhile, the Warners go "hunting" for some burritos and evading Ralph like a predator evades prey (including a Painted Tunnel, Real Train gag as a form of "camouflage"). | |

A later episode shows the host is eccentric and somewhat looked down upon within the field, but he's ultimately vindicated in his crazy assertions, so it isn't clear whether he considers Fendrich an animal or not. | |

The Templin Institute does a rare non-comedic version. While the show's first narrator Larissa Thompson used a firm, flat Canadian accent that would feel at home in a Military Science Fiction story, their second narrator Stephen Trafford speaks with a British accent that evokes Attenborough in how he describes the fictional, fantastical sci-fi and fantasy worlds that the show covers. | |

The Amazing World of Gumball: On skit in "The Tape" has the title character record his father fight like an animal to eat the groceries his mother brought in while his sister stole some herself, complete with Binomium ridiculus names. In "The Egg", Richard describes Felicity and Nicole's fight as if they're wild animals, then we cut to slow-motion footage of them headbutting each other around like hippos. |

Dexter's Laboratory: The show did an entire half-episode in this style, with an unseen and unexplained narrator referring to Dexter as "Blackfoot" (because of his boots) and Dee Dee as "Slim" (for obvious reasons), and treating the wholly domestic setting as though it were deep wilderness. There's also the episode "A Tribe Called Girl", where Dexter decided to study "girls" in their natural habitat by watching Dee Dee and her friends having a slumber party. |

Ozzy Man Reviews: Ozzy Man dubs videos of various things (not just nature) in a Steve Irwin-esque accent but with wayyy more cursing. Available on Facebook and YouTube. His top choice is a good animal fight, often with an underdog or a surprisingly cheeky bastard. Other popular videos are about animal attacks, mating behaviour or videos with heartwarming or funny footage (parenting, animals helping each other, confused penguins, and so on). Concrete examples would be "Black Cat & Big Fuck Off Rat" or "Mongoose vs. Lion". Commentaries of people often have this angle as well because of the way Ozzy Man refers to men and women: The humans, this mammal, a sheila or that wanker. | |
