It reminds me of The Simpsons where a motivational speaker was telling the characters about going from a human being to a "human do-ing". And then Bart yelled yelled out that he was "a human go-ing" and tried to leave. The speaker was actually pleased by this and encouraged everyone in Springfield to adopt a carefree attitude like Bart. Hilarity ensued.
And on Rugrats, the other babies once told Chuckie to do all these things like different animals, or something, and he got really stressed and overwhelmed, as usual, and he cried out, "I am not an aminal! I am a human bean!"
Which was a reference to, I don't know, The Elephant Man?
