The November 1, 2008 episode of Saturday Night Live featured a short, 2-minute skit about Giraffes. The skit was introduced as a Staten Island Zoo promo wherein a group of high schoolers submitted a documentary about giraffes. In the sketch, the video was submitted by the Staten Island Technical High School. The so-called "documentary" turned out to be a heavy metal music video about giraffes complete with extreme video animation but bereft of much actual fact..Saturday Night Live Video: Giraffes! (Time: 1:56)
The video showed giraffes flying with bat wings, wearing glasses drinking gasoline, eating brains, menacing humans with machine guns, rocking out with guitars and plotting to take over the world.Saturday Night Live Video: Giraffes! (Time: 1:56)
