It’s not though. The ad agency made it generic with the hope multiple zoos would use it and they did. Detroit was first but absolutely not the only one intended on using it.
Interesting to compare this version of the ad to the original made for the Detroit Zoo. I like how they chose different animals to deliver a few of the "lines".
@@joedaniels255 No, in the Detroit Zoo commercial the bear says "Take it from me, you just gotta keep cool.", not "Wrong way guys". (That was an ibex?) Same sound track, not all the same animals.
Being misplaced in Detroit I was here when the BEST of the Worlds advertisements & commercials came from Detroit. My God you watched TV just to see how good the advertising talent was here in Detroit cause the national shows sucked. If you are a Detroiter you still speak in these commercials & real people get it. Highland Appliance “Big Savinginsk” stills wins the best commercial of all time. I am planning on doing a remake. No credits to the makers of these brilliant ads are to be found. Very sad. I knew many of the producers personally. All gone now. The original owners of Dic O Dows in Birmingham were ad exec’s in those days, made their fortunes & the would weave the tales of their brilliant careers to all that would listen at their bar. Wonderous days they were.

That’s great! I had no idea that other zoos used the Detroit Zoo commercial!
Detroit: it’s the original!
Oakland Zoo: let’s copy your homework
This was definitely lifted from the DETROIT Zoo!
That " Okay, guys, this way!" bit cracks me up 40 some years later
This is ripped off from the Detroit zoo commercial from the 1980s

No they didn't. Same commercial, different zoo.

Also the opening is cut out that says The Detroit zoo!! If it was made for all zoos to use then where is the Oakland zoo in the opening?!? 🤔
Classic Melvin.
Why do all of these animals sound like they came from a Looney Tunes short?
“Word girl I say word girl!”
me when i see the crocodile:
The Detroit Zoo, not the Oakland Zoo.
