If you have ever watched [BBC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaver-water)’s Human planet, you would know that it is focused on providing viewers with an in depth look on human kind’s relationship with nature and the environment around them; however, it appears as though they have overlooked a particular sort of specimen: the douche.

BBC’s Human Planet: The Douche is a [hilarious viral video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absurd-content) that is quickly garnering attention on the blogosphere. Created by comedians Random at Best, the video follows what they dub "a unique specimen" known as the douche. Observing how the douche survives in its natural habitat, the video portrays his mannerisms and means of survival.

There’s really not much else to say, but enjoy this Human Planet parody filled with [hair gel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-ballad), popped collars and fist pumps.
