Episode 503 of The Muppet Show featured a spoof of the calypso song, "Man Smart, Woman Smarter." A group of woodland animals dance and sing along to "Man Smart, Critter Smarter" in a wooded area with a factory seen far in the background giving off pollution, to which the animals protest. The Prairie Dogs end the number by blowing up the factory. Backstage, Kermit notes the irony of a skunk having complained about the air pollution.

The song has also been recorded by The Carpenters and Harry Belafonte.
