"It's like that Circle of Life song from the Lion King, but re-imagined by a German fetish pornographer"
one line and I'm already sold. -
This episode felt more chaotic than normal. Felt less like a nature documentary and more like "holy shit, pigs"

A funny thing about truffle hogs is that unlike trained dogs, they search for truffles mainly to eat them. So if you have one "helping" you, you need to be fast with your fingers to keep it from eating the truffle once it has found it. However, I remember reading sometimes you have to let them eat some of it or have a treat prepared, because otherwise they stop digging for them if you're around.

My wife has wanted a "mini-pig" for years. We finally got one. They really are super smart. Probably the smartest animal I've ever had. They also do not stay "mini" for very long.😂

"butt scientists... I'm sorry, but scientists."
That will never get old. -
"Baby elephant trying to kick its way out of a cow's face" is a hell of line. And a look.
-
"fuck flavored dorito" my favorite thing from this episode.

I once saw a sow with at least 5 of her piglets when I was traveling with my classmates to a local wildlife refuge in Oklahoma. They all ran away as soon as they saw us and two of the piglets did a cute cartoon run where they ran in place like looney tunes style and ran with their little lives to catch up to their momma. My professor immediately said to head back to the van as fast as we can, since it meant that the 600+ lb male boar is probably nearby and we didn't want to encounter him.

I don't know if Jerry is real, but if he is give him a raise.
-
No Jerrys were harmed during the filming of these pigs. He was harmed later.
-
I was absolutely shocked that with the pigs' genus being Sus, you hadn't made any among us jokes. But then you got the "many a mongoose" line in there right at the end and I felt heard. Thank you for making me feel heard, Ze Frank.

As a German, I always thought they are pronounced war-thog. Sounded much cooler than wart-hog.
-
Poor Jerry, doesn't even get his name in the credits.
Can we get a True Facts on Jerry? It is overdue. -
"In the genus sus."
"They enlist many amongoose."
GET OUT OF MY HEAD. -
Put that in the prequel for Charlotte's web had me dying. The way zefrank combines science and humor is a real talent indeed. 😂
-
"Don't do it Jerry"
Jerry drops a sick beat -
Zefrank sounds genuinally terrified of pigs and their inevitable takeover.
-
I always knew pigs were kind of sus.
