Life's a Zoo	comment	Life's a Zoo.tv is an award-winning Canadian, Stop Motion animated, fake reality TV series created by Andrew Home and produced by Cuppa Coffee Studios for Teletoon.Seven anthropomorphic animals are put up in an elaborate mansion to compete in challenges from their host, being "extincted" (eliminated) one by one, until only one remains, and wins the mansion. For thirteen weeks, these seven houseguests have to avoid being extincted in whatever sick and twisted challenges their host throws at them, and more importantly, try not to kill each other... Oh, and Once per Episode, there's a music video.Getting to know each other a lot more than they want to are... Chi Chi (Stephanie Jung): A Chinese panda bear and 5th grade teacher who is by far the nicest person on the show... but not for long. Doctor D (Joseph Motiki): A rapping penguin who's ready to ice any mofos who cross him. Jake (Kurt Firla): A perverted Canadian pig with delusions of grandeur. Minou (Bridget Ogundipe): A Jamaican panther and former supermodel; she's willing to work the camera, and the man behind it to win. Morreski (Stephen Kishewitsch): A drunken Russian bear who's lived a full and complex life, if only he can remember any of it. Ray (Mike Rowland): An orangutan and a total party animal. Rico (Francisco Trujillo): A Colombian crocodile who fits every gay stereotype in the book.And running this menagerie are... Claude (Michael Lamport): Our first host, a smarmy and immoral vulture who could not care less for his job, the contestants, and pretty much everything else about the show. Bobbie (Stacey DePass): A seal who replaces Claude in Season 2; don't let her friendly persona fool you, she's even more eager than Claude to see the contestants tear each other apart for ratings.If the descriptions of the characters didn't tip you off, this show is not for the kiddies.The series originally aired on Teletoon's Detour block (the Canadian answer to [adult swim]) in 2008, where it ran for 2 seasons and a total of 20 episodes. However, many might also recognize this show from when it became part of Smosh's Shut Up! Cartoons roster in 2013.Compare to its fellow animated reality TV parodies, Drawn Together and Total Drama.

Ray discovered the secret control room, and when Jake tears up the script, he frees everyone from the control, and they take over the show; Claude is kicked out as host, and the houseguests try to write a new ending. Eventually, a new host takes over, Bobbie, and tries to run Life's a Zoo.tv, correctly.

It also doesn't help that the iTunes store lists the first 13 episodes as Season 1.

Life's a Zoo / int_eaf5a1ac	comment	Groin Attack: Ray gets it from Jake when they find the secret control room, and Jake justifies it by saying it was in the script. Minou threatens Jake with this a couple of times, though she aims for "cutting his testicles out with a spoon" territory.

Life's a Zoo / int_f247d841	comment	Intoxication Ensues/Mushroom Samba: To win a niceness challenge, Minou takes anti-depressants, and eventually eats the whole bottle. First she starts hallucinating, thinking a plant is Chi Chi, and starts licking wallpaper; then she talks to people with a sunny polite disposition whether she's insulting or complimenting them. Jake had a Mushroom Samba when he suffered from extreme sleep deprivation, believing a papaya was a living being that was in love with him, and everyone else was conspiring to take her away from him.

Life's a Zoo / int_f51c5f3c	comment	Never Say "Die": Averted and Inverted. Averted in the second episode when Jake goes crazy and annoys the others to the point that Minou, Morreski and Rico want to kill him. Inverted in that the show uses the term "extincted" (death of a species) to refer to (non-lethal) elimination from the show.

Life's a Zoo / int_f6972f9d	comment	The Mourning After: Jake was completely heartbroken when he thought Minou was dead, until he laid eyes on Bobbie. Subverted as this is Jake we're talking about here; he really only mourned Minou because she was the only hot female on the show, once Bobbie showed up, Minou was nothing special, as well as (presumed) dead.
