Donkeesass taxitoomus, once thought to be extinct because of its inability to evolve into a self reliant species, has reappeared in Lake Michigan. It feeds by first misdirecting its prey with fear-like bellowing, and then devouring them as they cower into collectivist groups.

I second John's comment. Cowboy's killed the competition. It was great.

I thought Terwiliger's was hilarious, but it's JACOB Bronowski, not James. Nailed the vibe from "The Ascent of Man" films. Maybe a bit on the obscure side, though.

Yeah. It's either "Jacob" or just plain "J.".
I don't know when that series was made. From what I remember, they looked like they could have been from the early 70s (or maybe the late 60s).
They were "required viewing" for a "comedy college" history class presided over by a likeable "enigma" who was a cross between Truman Capote & H. L. Mencken (more the former than the latter).
Obscure by now, no doubt. I often make the mistake of thinking that my experience is more universal than it is.
There should be some Bronowski clips on YouTube. The one where he talks about "Lucy... Austwawlopifthecoos" (Australopithecus in Fuddsian King's-English) is stuck in my brain.
