You Crazy? Unlike most, it shares this information in a comic way, with lots of potty humor that will delight young viewers (and may or may not turn off some parents).
Unfortunately Absurd Planet throws in skits and jokes – all geared toward Americans – in the hope of keeping the entertainment factor up rather than letting the animals themselves do the talking. We learn about how and what animals eat, often, other animals, but the only "death scenes" involve bugs and other non-mammal creatures like worms, so you won't see blood, injuries, terrified animals, and other hard-to-take footage. Very shallow strictly from an educational perspective.
Voiceover craftsman Afi Ekulona loans an energetic voice to the individual of Mother Nature. at 1st i was like oh its for kids.
I will say though, based on the previews, almost all of the footage looks like it was recycled from other nature documentaries I've seen so maybe it's for the best. They should replace the narrator and the bad editing. After hearing her voice I had my doubts but this show is just so plain you know what at least plain is watchable this one is just horrible.
Who is this humor for?
I couldn't make it past the first episode. Remember Dancing with the Birds? We display the minimum age for which content is developmentally appropriate. It's obnoxious garbage. If you want to see something similar but actually funny, check out some of Tony Baker's videos on YouTube. At a time this way, Netflix is playing our deliverer by methods for getting ‘Crazy Planet’s’ cutting edge expansion to the fortune trove of the nature narratives it as of now houses. And don't say stoner comedy (sorry "late-night comedy") because I usually enjoy that.
Why are some species endangered? It's like a sketch comedy show with animals as the players. Nature is indeed fascinating and weird, and this show filled with second-grade jokes about the weird creatures of our world is perfect education-plus-entertainment for family viewing. Thankfully, though Absurd Planet is all-in for grade-school humor, it avoids another type of scene popular in nature shows: the bloody kill. Families of nature appreciators, listen up: You might learn something, and at the very least, your kids won't mind watching.

Netflix:s "Absurd! America Ninja Warrior Season 13: Expected Arrival. Your purchase helps us remain independent and ad-free. But the problem is, the overly quirky narration and meme-approach to documenting these animals are completely unnecessary — call me a party-pooper or a spoilsport, but the documentary is about intriguing animals; the commentary that discusses them does not need to be weird as well. I think the overlap of people laughing at poo and Beatles fans are not a big demographic.
In the first episode alone, we meet the pearlfish that live inside a sea cucumber's butt, feces-munching dung beetles, and marabou storks, who are equipped with appendages aptly described as a "scrotum neck.". Couldn’t make it through the first episode. ... a controversial animal park boss, is caught in a murder-for-hire plot. Just weird. Many the animal-lover has begun an animal show filled with adoration for an adorable creature...that soon ends up being ripped apart by a predator.
A short while, I thought I could watch this without sound, perhaps listen to some music instead, but of course, they had to go and karaoke their poop song.
Though Absurd Planet does take pleasure in investigating some of nature's grosser aspects (note how many animals we see emptying their bowels), and we do hear about what and how animals eat, including each other, visuals are limited to brief moments in which dying bugs struggle or a juicy worm is nibbled by a star nosed mole, there's no blood and no dramatic moments of death.
