# Sea Predator Sporting Tributes The Shark Olympics Video Makes an Argument for Animal Participation By Courtney Scharf | Published 2012-08-14 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-olympics-video References: [holykaw.alltop](http://holykaw.alltop.com/shark-olympics-win-or-fail?tu3=1) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/user/georgehammer3) This Shark Olympics video is a hilarious and very silly tribute to the Olympic games. With [Shark Week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaws-fragrance) coming up and the Games coming to a close, this mix-up is perfectly timed and sure to please pop culture junkies. The video shows a man dressed as a shark enduring a slew of different [Olympic events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-games-campaign), from judo to [swimming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kikfin). Though he is hardly capable at competing in any of these events, viewers will get a kick at the over-the-top humor used in the clip, and the ridiculousness of the costuming. Though sharks will likely never have a place in the Olympics, this video is a fun and light-hearted reminder of what will be dominating televisions in the near future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Animal-themed Parodies:** There is a growing trend of creating humorous videos and parodies featuring animals in various scenarios, presenting opportunities for entertainment and marketing. - **Pop Culture Mash-ups:** The blending of different cultural elements, such as Shark Week and the Olympics, to create entertaining content is becoming popular, opening up possibilities for unique collaborations and creative campaigns. - **Humor-driven Marketing:** Businesses can leverage humor in their marketing strategies to engage and entertain their target audience, potentially increasing brand awareness and customer loyalty. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can explore producing more animal-themed parodies and pop culture mash-ups to captivate audiences and generate buzz. - **Advertising:** Incorporating humor-driven marketing campaigns and collaborations can help advertisers stand out from competitors and leave a lasting impact on consumers. - **Event Management:** Organizers of major events like the Olympics or Shark Week can consider creating fun and engaging experiences that combine different themes, attracting wider participation and interest. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shark-Themed Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-assortment.md) - [Shark-Celebrating Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-shark-cookies.md) - [Humanoid Robot Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/great-robot-olympics.md) - [Gummy Shark-Garnished Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-bait-lemonade.md) - [Quirky Spoof Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fight-teeth.md) - [Global Sporting Event Recaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-games-chrome-extension.md) - [Chic Olympic Surfer Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakley-offshore-collection.md) - [Shark-Themed Dirty Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziggis-coffee-bad-bruce.md) - [Aquatic Thriller Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-prospex-jaws-special-edition.md)
