If you are old enough, you remember Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom hosted by Marlin Perkins and featuring the crazy Jim Fowler in one of advertising’s early sponsorship efforts. The series ran for 27 years – eight in primetime – beginning in 1963. It was campy by today’s standards but, all the same, a good show.
Any good show with a long history is ripe for spoofing and there’s a PlayStation spot that does just that. Of course, today’s wild kingdom features pornstars and a football mascot. Yes. Very weird but worth a look.
