1''Adventures of Ceratops'' is a 2014 South Korean documentary. Ostensibly the focus is on the ceratopsian dinosaurs and evolution, with the springboard being the then-newly described dinosaur ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koreaceratops Koreaceratops]]''. However, the framing device is where things get weird, as it focuses on New Zealand-born comedian and series' host [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Hammington Sam Hammington]] travelling back in time, meeting ''Koreaceratops'', and inadvertdly bringing one back to present, where hijinks ensue.

9!!This documentary provides examples of:
10* Main/ArtisticLicensePaleontology
11** It's not apparent to laymen, but a lot of ceratopsians in the show have elephantine feet, when they should have four long toes on each hindfoot, one of which dangles uselessly, and five on each front foot, two of which don't support the weight and lacking claws, either.
12* DullSurprise: Sam Hammgton's acting isn't very good nor memorable.
13* EiffelTowerEffect: The Great Wall of China's the place the documentary uses to introduce ''Sinoceratops''.
14* NonIndicativeName: No, the dubious genus [[UsefulNotes/PrehistoricLifeCeratopsids Ceratops]] doesn't appear.
15* RaptorAttack: ''Velociraptor'', while having feathers, also has typical broken wrists and too small wing feathers.
