Fun fact! Johnny Cash got addicted to painkillers after getting punched in the stomach by an ostrich.

I'm not sure what they thought this music added to it, exactly.

I was all set to make a Weisenheimer remark about how this looked like some weird mash-up of The Gods Must Be Crazy and a BBC nature documentary, then I saw Zamboni's comment.

The monkey ran through thorns. And deservedly so!
My wife says that was actually a baboon, but I say it was a monkey. Because monkey sounds much better.

Despite the fact that I'm a mammal, I gotta side with team Ostrich on this one.

It's the national anthem of Youtube, according to the comments.

If anyone's still looking for a Halloween costume, dressing as a Hottentot* dressed as an ostrich looks like a pretty good choice, especially if this video is popular right now.
*Apparently now considered derogatory or offensive, but Hottentot is the word they use here.

Animals Are Beautiful People is one of the view video cassettes I had as a kid, with no TV connection in a foreign country - I must have watched it a 1000 times.
It pains me to see it with this terrible soundtrack now.

Now this DOES go better with Yakety Sax.
Ostrich beats Radio Telescope. But it really needs a laser strapped to its head. It'd like that.

The original yt , apparently from Jamie Uys' Animals Are Beautiful People. You may know Uys better as the author and director of The Gods Must Be Crazy.

He had rhino bacon. You need a lot of egg with rhino bacon.

I love when the ostrich does that head dip when he see the fake ostrich dude. I think that's ostrich for "ya gotta be fucking kidding me."

I bet he wanted to distract that dirty old egg-suckin' dog from his hen house.

Check out the ostrich's ratite cousin, the cassowary. I saw one in person a couple weeks back and I was taken aback at how much you could see the dinosaur in it.

That monkey was dumb and I am embarrassed by its dumbness. Don't just sit there sniffing the egg, you fool! TAKE IT AND FLEE.

I like that the ostrich doesn't really care so much about recovering the egg as exacting revenge.

Kind of like witnessing the reason dinosaurs went extinct in miniature. Also, I feel like there's a metaphor for the US government shutdown fiasco there somehow.

Well, except for the part where they didn't. See video above.

You're going to nitpick my silly joke, really?
My understanding is the vast majority of dinosaur species did go extinct, actually. Birds are descended from a couple of particular lines (I don't know if the distinction of which dinosaurs' descendents became birds is on the genus or family level, or if we even know enough currently to make a claim about that).
