- [Narrator] You don't wanna miss this!
We have demanding dalmations,
bathing bears,
canine compatriots,
cranky cats,
prancing pooches,
and a dog in a tux playing the piano
like a true professional.
All this and more, right here on World's Funniest Animals.
- Hello and welcome to World's Funniest Animals,
where we show you all of the most hilarious animal clips
the internet, and beyond, has to offer.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton,
joined today by my sidekicks, Hank and Ruby,
as well as our panelists, and our special guest,
Dichen Lachman.
- Hey Liz, what's going on?
- We'll get back to that in just a bit,
but thanks for joining us.
In the meantime, we all have that one friend
we can count on, no matter what.
And friendship isn't just a concept for humans.
Even animals have best buddies.
Starting with commentary from actress Carmen Hodgson.
- Hey Liz!
- Hey Carmen! This clip is so adorable,
I just had to make sure you saw it first.
- You know me too well, Lizzy. Let's see it.
(playful music)
(audience laughs)
Okay. Getting sick is obviously never fun,
but it's a whole lot easier
when you have a friend by your side,
especially one as adorable as that kitten!
(audience laughs)
- Now, we're joined by comedian, Brian Cooper.
- Liz, bring on the animals.
- You know, Brian, they say birds of a feather
stick together, which is why I brought you all on the show.
It also serves a great segue to this next clip.
- Liz. Normally we're on the same page,
but it's not that hard to find a bunch of people
who love funny videos of animals.
But... show me the bird clip.
(dubstep music)
(audience laughs)
- Look. If you're looking for a new friend,
get a new hobby!
These birds met at jujitsu class,
and they've been best friends ever since.
(audience laughs)
- Next we have singer and comedian, Mikalah Gordon.
- Liz! Happy to be here!
- Happy to have you, Mikalah.
You have to see these two dogs
who are doing what I previously thought was impossible.
I need Hank and Ruby to learn to share this well.
- Well, share this video with me!
Let's see it.
(uplifting piano music)
(audience laughs)
As adorable as this is,
I think the Frenchie got the better deal on that trade.
That bone is huge.
- Finally, we have writer and actor, Noah Matthews.
- Hey Liz, what's goin' on?
- So, Noah, I know you have four cats,
but you are secretly a dog person.
- Well, the secret's out. Thanks, Liz.
But, I would would call myself more of an...
animal person now.
- Then this next clip is perfect.
(tropical music)
(audience laughs)
- This is either the smallest puppy ever,
or that hamster is massive.
I mean, either way, this is way too cute.
And, as a man, I need some time to emotionally process this.
(audience laughs)
- This is like that one best friend you have
that people are always curious how you two met.
I'm that best friend.
(audience laughs)
- I get scared trying to integrate my dog
with other dogs at the dog park.
How did you find out that a tiger and a bear
are gonna be best friends?
- [Owner] Good boy, Ego. Grooming your friend.
Good boy!
- With so many websites and platforms giving out information
on how to do, or build, just about anything,
you start seeing all these amazing homemade inventions
for, you guessed it, our pets.
Let's take a closer look in our segment, "DIY."
(upbeat pop music)
(audience laughs)
- Great. I forgot to charge the drone,
and now I have to walk my dog myself like a caveman.
- We all know just about anything can be a pet toy,
and this next video highlights that perfectly.
- [Owner] Go!
(audience laughs)
- Dogs are like middle schoolers.
They see something and immediately think, "Yeah!
I could jump over that."
My nephews and this dog will get along great.
(quirky music)
(toy expands loudly)
(audience laughs)
- You know, cats are fickle.
You've built something thinking it's gonna be
their new favorite toy, and, low and behold,
they couldn't be less interested.
(audience laughs)
- Now it's time to check in with our special guest.
You may know her from shows like The 100, Altered Carbon,
or her movie, Jurassic World Dominion;
it's Dichen Lachman.
- Hey, Liz. Yeah, I'm so happy to be here.
Oh! Kisses, Whiskey.
- Wait, did I hear your dog's name correctly?
Maybe it's time you formally introduced him.
- This is Whiskey.
He's almost...
11 years old,
and I'm not sure what kind of dog he is.
My husband and I got him from a rescue,
and he was just a little puppy.
So, he's doing really well.
He has actually been, if you can believe,
been hit by a car twice, and lived. Which is amazing.
- Wow! What an incredible story.
We're so glad he's made a full recovery.
Now that he's feeling better,
I have to ask, what are some of his favorite things to do?
- He absolutely loves walks, just like most dogs.
And, when we leave, he gets very attached
to whoever he's been left with.
He usually ends up sleeping on top of their head,
or, you know, just following them around the house.
He's very, very...
(Dichen laughs)
he's very loving.
- Well, we love Whiskey, and we will be back with you two
in just a bit.
Stick around, we have some incredibly skilled pets
in our segment, "Most Talented,"
coming up next on World's Funniest Animals.
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals.
Animals are extremely intelligent,
and capable of some pretty incredible feats.
Let's take a look at some of the most impressive
of the week, and see who's "Most Talented."
(spy movie music)
(audience laughs)
- It's a real pro move to have two lanes to yourself.
It's it's how you have the most reps.
(piano banging)
(audience laughs)
- From the outfit, to the song choice,
you can totally tell he's classically trained.
(dog playing dissonant notes)
(audience laughs)
(upbeat techno music)
(audience laughs)
- Sometimes I throw a ball,
and my dog just looks at me all confused,
and then there's this lady and her pet.
(audience laughs)
- This next clip is my ideal scenario,
anytime I go shopping.
(electronic pop music)
(audience laughs)
- Attention all shoppers, we have a French bulldog
in a pink dress on a scooter in aisle five.
That's it. I just thought you'd be really interested.
(rat playing harmonica)
- Not gonna lie, this was the last thing I was expecting,
but the little guy knows what he's doing!
- These animals are so funny,
and you never know what to expect with them.
So, we gave them their own segment.
Let's see what these goats are up to, in "I'm not kidding."
(audience laughs)
- Anytime my girlfriend and I take a selfie,
I steal a kiss the exact same way.
- I didn't time that one right.
I gotta go brush my teeth.
(audience laughs)
- I'm convinced that everything goats do is so weird,
that it's hilarious.
(techno music)
(audience laughs)
- So that farmer, he actually has insomnia,
but he doesn't have any sheep,
so he built this to count the goats jumping
before he goes to bed.
He's actually been getting really good sleep,
so it's been working.
(audience laughs)
- Looking for a new activity? Maybe try this.
(audience laughs)
(participants laughing and shrieking)
- Goat yoga is one of those things that came outta nowhere.
And we all just accepted it as normal.
This isn't normal, but you do you.
(participants screaming)
(quirky spy music)
- Yeah, I'm goin' the store to grab some hay.
Y'all want anything?
(audience laughs)
- We have even more hilarious videos coming up.
We have "Attention On Me" next,
right here on World's Funniest Animals.
You're watching World's Funniest Animals.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton,
and this next segment explores the never-ending
need for affection that us, as pet owners,
are all happy to give. Here's "Attention On Me."
(upbeat music)
(audience laughs)
- Dogs love us so much, they don't even know
how to contain it.
Also, might be a good idea to bolt down that recliner.
(audience laughs)
(polka music playing)
(audience laughs)
- What are you doing?
Are you looking at pictures of other dogs?
Love me! Just love me.
(audience laughs)
- With a dog as adorable as this one,
how could you resist?
(lullaby plays)
(audience laughs)
- Pets have this special ability,
that right as you're finally being productive,
they come outta nowhere and demand attention.
(audience laughs)
(dog barks softly)
(audience laughs)
- [Owner] You have to be quiet, 'cause we have-
(dog howls pitifully)
(audience laughs)
Marvin. I have to type.
- This dog sounds so personally offended
that his owner has a job.
Like, wait, you have to do this?
You can't pay attention to me 24/7?
'Cause that's... this isn't what I signed up for.
- You can't get Hank out of the water.
Loves the beach, loves the pool,
and is even a big fan of the bath.
Ruby, on the other hand, not so much.
So, Hank, this segment is for you,
and Ruby, don't worry. You can sit this one out.
It's "Bath Time."
(hip hop music)
(audience laughs)
- Hey, if I've learned anything from this show,
it's that if you're afraid of bears,
don't get a pool or a pond in your backyard.
'Cause if you build it, they will come.
(audience laughs)
(Latin beat playing)
(audience laughs)
- He's training for the state fair.
You know, he loses every year to this peacock,
but this time, he's winning
in the apple bobbing competition.
(audience laughs)
- This kid is taking bath time with rubber duckies
to a whole new level.
(quirky music)
(audience laughs)
- I had a rubber duckie when I was younger,
I mean, who didn't?
But this kid has no idea how lucky he is!
This is a dream.
(audience laughs)
- We're back with our special guest,
Dichen Lachman, and her dog!
So, does Whiskey know any tricks?
- He does talk to me.
He has these little barks,
and, sort of, head nods,
so I know exactly when he wants a treat,
or when he wants to go to the bathroom.
- We all wish we could talk to our pets.
But, you figured it out.
How would you describe Whiskey?
- Very loving, very kind, but likes to be independent.
He absolutely loves squirrels,
and he absolutely loves it in the winter here.
'Cause the rain activates all the smells,
and he likes leaving all his little status updates
on the trees and the plants.
- I hear you have an opinion on why people should own dogs.
Care to share?
- I do find that, like, having Whiskey in our life
gets us out of the house more, and walking,
and they're just so loving,
and I feel like love is so healing. Oh!
- I couldn't agree more.
Hank and Ruby are the absolute best to come home to,
and even bring to work!
Thanks for stopping by, guys.
You don't wanna miss the party,
because we have "Dance Fever" next,
on World's Funniest Animals.
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals.
I can't wait to show you these next two segments.
With all that pent up energy,
what better way to let it all out, than to dance?
Let's take a closer look at some animals
who seem to have caught the "Dance Fever."
(lively jazz music)
(audience laughs)
- If my dogs could dance,
it's all you would ever hear me talking about.
Honestly, I don't even know if I would be here.
I would be out on the boardwalk dancing with my dogs.
(audience laughs)
- [Bird] La la la!
- [Owner] (gasps) What are you do-
- [Bird] La la la la la la!
(audience laughs)
(owner gasps)
- [Bird] La la la la la la.
- What a triple threat!
Dancer, singer, and, with those looks, obviously a model.
- [Owner] Oh, what a pretty singer! Say la la la! Yeah.
- La la la la la la!
- [Owner] ♪ My only sunshine. You make me happy, ♪
when skies are gray.
(audience laughs)
♪ You'll never know just how much I love you. ♪
♪ So please don't take my sunshine away. ♪
- Yeah, so this is about the extent
of my dancing ability as well,
but that doesn't stop me from trying way more complex things
and embarrassing myself on the dance floor.
(upbeat techno music)
(audience laughs)
- Great. Even animals are doing dance challenges
in the middle of the street.
(audience laughs)
- When you have hair as fabulous as them,
you dance every chance you get,
to show it off, honey!
- Now it's time for a dance troupe
you definitely wouldn't normally expect.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(audience laughs)
- They actually won this year's season
of Dancing With The Starfish.
(audience laughs)
It was between them and some sea horses for first place.
- Our pets love us, but sometimes
they're ready to clock out for the day
and enjoy some alone time.
That's when they let us know, "Don't Mess With Me."
- [Owner] Maury!
(dog growling)
That's rude.
That's rude! Don't touch that.
Ugh.
- He just wanted to change the channel,
and watch World's Funniest Animals.
Can't really blame him.
(dog growling)
(audience laughs)
- [Owner] Hey!
(audience laughs)
(playful electronic music)
(audience laughs)
(cat meows)
- Cats are the only pet that will get upset with you
for giving them affection.
You know, they're just one of those animals,
you gotta love them from afar.
(cat meows angrily)
(audience laughs)
It's confirmed. Swans can read.
Do with that information what you will.
- Well, that's almost it for us,
but in case you missed anything along the way,
here's a quick recap of all of our funniest moments.
We had doggy drones, bowling birds, exhilarated elephants,
fierce Frenchies, cuddling cats, galloping goldens,
and a goat who has taken it upon himself
to drive to the store for some hay. Huh!
(audience laughs)
Thanks so much to our panel,
and to our special guest, Dichen Lachman. And Whiskey!
- Well, thank you so much for having me on your show.
I hope you guys have a wonderful day.
Say bye, Whiskey!
- Bye guys!
And thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton,
we'll see you next time on World's Funniest Animals.
(audience laughs)
