This was a live action (as opposed to a dead action) cartoon of people in weird costumes pretending to be a dog, a gorilla, an elephant and a lion.

The reason it looks like it comes straight from the 80's is that "the 80's didn't hit Canada until 1992" http://youtube.com/watch?v=9mJAsgIIfNM Stephen and the Colberts had their “hit” with “Charlene (I’m Right Behind You)”
