Growing up in a city, this is me every time I visit the zoo.

I had a non-traditional student, in freshman biology, who had minimal exposure to the world outside his own. He was from Denmark and his English was not very good. We turned in our textbook to a page where there was a sea turtle and I heard him yell, "what the fuck is that?". We all had a hardy laugh. The end.

Shortly after I moved to Colorado, I was driving through Estes Park and saw the biggest fucking deer. I commented to a co-worker that it looked like a deer got fucked by a cow!

It was an elk.

You make up these questions, Mr. Holden, or do they write 'em down for you?

MrFinchley · 25 days

Last summer at the zoo I overheard someone say, "Wow! All these squirrels must have gotten loose."

WhatEvery1sThinking · 25 days

maybe if you also grew up never: reading a book, using a computer, watching TV, or going to school

Different_Boner · 25 days

City or not, the saddest thing about this is that you clearly didn't get Zoobooks!

Skoolz · 25 days

Still one of the greatest comedies ever conceived. I wish he was able to produce more entertainment like this instead of the Bruno and The Dictator abortions.

purrreow · 25 days

Borat is the reason I couldn't take les miserables seriously

billiarddaddy · 25 days

I had to show my wife some clips from this to explain my reaction when I saw him in Les Miserables.

It still amazes me how Sacha can always keep a straight face...

jawnofthedead · 25 days

The best zoos are in cities.

simplelogic2 · 25 days

As it turns out we have very few giant turtles in the suburbs... your problem may stem from elsewhere

sivablue · 25 days

Remember when every douche bag was walking around saying, 'That's Nice!!!'. Or better yet, 'WASSSSSUP!!!!'. I think I am going to try and bring those both back at my New Year's Eve party.

tenniswritercoug · 25 days

I met a guy who had never left the city before (in twenty years of life, he had never left the Portland Metro Area). I told him how in my hometown, people are outnumbered by cows two to one. He stared at me, completely serious, and asked if we rode our cows like horses.

I had no words for this.

Spirit31 · 25 days

Every major city I've been to has a zoo.

CB05201 · 25 days

It's a cat in a hat? No it's a tortoise, in a shell...

zack803 · 25 days

You poor, sheltered child. I really feel sorry for you

JakeyG14 · 25 days

There are not wild lions and tigers roaming the countryside. You are just uneducated in zoology.

Tigerzombie · 25 days

The first time we took our daughter to the zoo every moving animal was a cat. We have a cat, so if it is fluffy and moving, it's a cat. She was 1yr old at the time.

kiqrgwe · 25 days

Is that a pigeon?

criminolelawyer · 25 days

If your city doesn't have a zoo it most likely isn't a real city.

stomata_sauce · 25 days

But we don't get giant tortoises in the country either.

Ozymandias88 · 25 days

I don't understand how growing up in the city is an excuse for not knowing animals in a zoo.

danrennt98 · 25 days

I miss this guy

martinpolak · 25 days

How does living in a city affect your knowledge of nature?

I grew up and live in a city too and they teach you stuff like animals in school afaik

poopenhaben · 25 days

So, are you saying that growing up in a city made you retarded?

thediscobison · 25 days

I grew up in a city and never really got to see any animals. While I knew what things were from TV, when I moved to a smaller town in the Midwest and saw all the squirrels, I felt like I was living in a forest.

sambob · 25 days

I thought it was Clarkson at first glance.

GeneraIDisarray · 25 days

I grew up, and still live in a city, since when is that an excuse to not educate yourself and be a complete tool?

Meitnerium_109 · 25 days

What kind of tortoise is this?

BrianSnow · 25 days

This makes no fucking sense. First, most zoos are in cities. Second, the animals in zoos aren't the types of animals you see when you live in the suburbs or the country.

Ftwpkerz · 25 days

Here's the clip

Wrinkled_Time · 25 days

Haha. The guy on the right is the breeder we got our Siberian Cats from.

Ozzertron · 25 days

What is this, a snake? I don't know.

Cloakedboltz · 25 days

I love tortoises, just a little notch above cats.

CthulhuCompanionCube · 25 days

Last time I went to the zoo I overheard a couple of guys asking if a patch of bamboo was corn. Fuckers on the east coast don't have any idea where their food comes from.

jel476 · 25 days

is this a cat in a hat?

My boy had me "MILKIN" the pigs my last trip to the farm?

Do this have a pussy magnet?

oddlie · 25 days

I had a friend who, at age 13 had never seen a live cow. I lived out in the country, and he came to visit once. He just about broke his neck trying to look at one when we passed it in the road. "That's where burgers come from!"

kauert · 25 days

Oh come on, I knew that from watching Ninja Turtles!

ale81 · 25 days

Is this a 'cat in a hat'?

brodybrantford · 25 days

"Is this a cat in a hat?"....."No it's a tortoise, in a shell"

Jakerop · 25 days

you would think you'd learn a thing or two after the first three visits...

I grew up across the street from the zoo, in NYC. Funny huh? Try being there when it rains, the animal dung evaporates and fills the city with it's perfume.

MochiMochiMochi · 25 days

I grew up next to a zoo. Every day at the outdoor Ring Tailed Lemur exhibit I would hear "Lookit them funny raccoons" and then at the Eland exhibit, "Lookit that funny elk." No amount of signage or guides could dissuade people from telling their kids about the funny raccoons or elk.

Ackables · 25 days

I live in San Diego so nananabooboo my zoo is better than yours

Fireskos · 25 days

As someone who works at a zoo, I prefer visitors who actually ask what an animal is rather than insisting our turkey vultures are "eagles"

R3volte · 25 days

Is this a cat in a hat?

Ryandoe11 · 25 days

This is just sad

perseusveil · 25 days

That might have less to do with you being from a city and possibly more with you not having a sense of curiosity about the world around you.

Meatball_Sandwich · 25 days

Zoo's are depressing as fuuuuuuuck.

fearrwolf · 25 days

So we should start working on finding ways to entice Adrian Peterson to join us...

WHISTLEDINGER · 25 days

So did the city make you stupid? Or are you just a dumbass living in the city?

apollo84 · 25 days

no it's not.

katodriver · 25 days

maybe unrelated but this is my new tortoise pet

elstongunn32 · 25 days

I grew up in a suburb, we had squirrels and dogs running around. I still know what the different animals are at a zoo, ya fucking tard.

Judge_Hate · 25 days

So what your telling us is you're a ratard.

deeznutz12 · 25 days

That guy could never top Borat.

Edit: Sacha Baron Cohen

isozy · 25 days

Really? Because you're from the city you can't destinguish animal species?

patkeenan · 25 days

"Have it executed"

rayz0101 · 25 days

Title should read, "Growing up ignorant, this is me every time I visit the zoo."

pno2nr · 25 days

Not as good as when Ali G. asked the veteran veterinarian "what the fuck is that thing?" (a chicken) and "why is he wearing that?"
