Platypus in Entertainment




Between songs, spoof videos, memes, and TV shows like Phineas and Ferb, the platypus has strangely become quite the hit in entertainment media! The unique combination of features that the platypus possesses make it an easy target for jokes and also lends itself to being a silly character in television and clever meme spoofs. Phineas and Ferb for example, is an animated childrens show that features a popular pet platypus. In fact, all the way back in 1995 there was even a sitcom called the Platypus Man that featured comedian Richard Jeni. There is actually even a website called the Psychology Student Platypus that is a meme generator focused on pictures of platypus!

  1. The platypus is definitely an interesting and well known creature! If you have ever had Dr. Ichiyama for abnormal psychology you might have learned that he has a phobia of platypuses. I would really love to read Platypus Man!
