- [Elizabeth Stanton] You don't wanna miss this.
We have slinking sloths, lively labs,
dashing dolphins, marching mallards,
and a dog who is just as excited as their owner
when their team wins the big game.
All this and more right here on World's Funniest Animals.
(intro music sting)
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals.
If you're a fan of hilarious animal videos,
then boy are you in the right place!
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton, joined today
by my partners in crime, Hank and Ruby,
as well as our panelists,
and our special guest Patrika Darbo.
- Hi, Elizabeth!
We are so happy to be here with you today!
- Happy to have you, and thank you for joining us!
We'll come back to you in just a little bit.
In the meantime, babies, plushy toys, and of course,
fashion are cute, but what is the absolute cutest?
Our pets!
Let's take a look in Cuteness Overload,
starting with comedian, Brian Cooper.
- Liz! What's going on? How you been?
- Oh, you know, Brian keeping it cool.
Like the pup in this next clip.
(playful music)
(crowd laughs)
- [Woman] What are you doing, are you hot?
Huh baby?
- Now that's one way to cool off in the summer.
All that fur? I don't blame him.
- Next, we have actress, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle.
- Hey Liz!
- How do you feel about sloths?
- I was going to say that's a random question,
but on this show, I guess it's not.
(baby sloth squeaks)
(crowd laughs)
(baby sloth squeaks)
- I had no idea, but baby sloths are now
in my top five favorite animals list.
I mean, how could they not be?
- Now we're joined by actor, Devon Werkheiser.
- Hey Liz!
- Have you ever thought about getting another cat?
- You know, maybe because I kind of want my cat
to have a buddy, but then I see Noah,
with his four cats. Seems like a slippery slope.
(crowd laughs)
- Maybe this will change your mind.
(light electronic music)
(crowd laughs)
(laughter continues)
- I feel like cats' tails have minds of their own.
Like they don't even seem in control of them.
- Finally, we have TV personality and fashionista,
Catherine Murray.
- Hey Lizzie.
- Well, Cat, check out this cat.
(bright electronic music)
(crowd laughs)
(punch sound)
- She's adorable. And her eyes are just as big as her head!
- Our pets all have their quirks.
Some make messes, some bark too much, some eat the grass.
But in this case, these animals have a mischievous streak.
Here's Stop Thief.
(pensive music)
(crowd laughs)
(laughter continues)
- He shouldn't have taken something out the fridge.
Now you gotta figure out how to use the microwave!
- They always say sharing is caring,
but I'm not sure what to call this.
(energetic music)
(crowd laughs)
(swipe sound effect)
(laughter continues)
- [Anna] Ah, it all makes sense now.
Now I get the phrase "cat burglar."
(jazzy music)
(crowd laughs)
- [Man] This is incredible!
(cameraperson laughing)
- Don't we all wish we could just live
above a donut shop?
But like in a condo, not in the ceiling like this guy.
- Now it's time to check in with our special guest.
You may know her from the show Days of Our Lives.
It's Patrika Darbo. Hey Patrika!
- Hi Liz!
Thanks for having us here today!
- Speaking of "us,"
who is that little furry friend over there?
- Her name is Dusty and she is a Chihuahua-terrier mix.
- What an adorable combo! How long have you had Dusty?
- We adopted Dusty about six months ago,
after we lost our other baby.
And she has become the best!
- I'm so sorry to hear about your loss,
but I'm so glad you got to adopt Dusty over there.
How would you describe Dusty?
(Patrika laughs)
- Oh, Elizabeth, she's like Satan.
She's crazy, but she has so much fun.
She is obsessed with golf balls.
(upbeat music)
(crowd laughs)
- Well if you ever go out to practice your stroke,
we can all count on Dusty to bring the balls back.
Speaking of which, we'll be back
with you two in just a little bit.
Put on a happy face, because it's up next
on World's Funniest Animals!
(crowd laughs)
(outro music sting)
(intro music sting)
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals.
Our pets can make some pretty hilarious faces.
From confused, to puppy eyes,
to slobbering all over the place.
But my favorite is when they put on a happy face.
(cheerful guitar music)
(crowd laughs)
(crowd collectively "awwe"s)
- He's looking up like,
"Do you mean it? Do you really love me?"
- [Woman] Okay, now gonna hug Sebastian.
Good hug, Sebastian!
(camera shutter)
Kiss.
(crowd laughs)
(camera shutter)
Now paws.
Good job.
(camera shutter)
- This is super cute.
But the photographer is kind of great.
I wonder if she does family portraits or just dogs?
- [Woman] Oh, you're so handsome!
Oh, yes, of course!
Smile!
- My mom's the same way.
I could be making like the weirdest face in a photo,
and she's gonna say how handsome I am.
Is this handsome mom?!
(crowd laughs)
- This dog is so happy,
but he doesn't want his owner to know.
(ding)
(crowd laughs)
(ding)
- Whoo! Goin' to the park!
But I can't let him know I'm excited.
- [Woman] Smile!
(crowd laughs)
Smile!
Ooh.
Smile!
(laughter continues)
Ooh good boy.
- Whatever calendar or mug or product
that they're selling with this dog's face?
I want it.
- [Woman] Smile!
(eerie music)
(crowd laughs)
(laughter continues)
- All right. Note to self, pet my dog with my feet.
It seemed to love that!
- We all love the ocean.
And even though it's hardly explored,
and we only know so much about it,
I know you'll love these next few clips.
Here's Feeling Fishy.
(upbeat electronic music)
(crowd laughs)
(music continues)
(dolphins splash)
- [Anna] I feel like in LA, you go to the beach,
and you freak out and tell everyone you're with
if you see a single dolphin.
I mean, where are these people?
There has to be over 50 there, easily.
(snazzy pop music)
(crowd laughs)
(laughter continues)
- Look. I've seen enough sci-fi movies to know
octopuses are aliens. They've got eight legs, massive heads,
and they can camouflage into their surroundings.
I mean, come on people!
- With all these videos underwater,
I have to imagine it's
like someone coming into your house with a camera.
(electronic pop music)
(crowd laughs)
(laughter continues)
- Oh, so this is what underwater
public transportation looks like.
(electronic music)
(crowd laughs)
(music continues)
- It totally looks like an underwater bird.
Just flapping its wings.
(upbeat techno music)
(crowd laughs)
- Have you ever tried jumping out of a pool? Hard, right?
Now try being over 6,000 pounds
and flying 10 feet out of the water!
- [Elizabeth] Is that a knock on the door?
Nope. Just some unexpected guests,
up next on World's Funniest Animals.
(outro music sting)
(intro music sting)
You're watching World's Funniest Animals.
And I'm your host Elizabeth Stanton.
And in this next segment, we take a look
at what happens when someone,
or should I say something, comes over uninvited.
Here's Unexpected Guests.
(upbeat jazz music)
(crowd laughs)
- [Woman] Hello. Hi guys.
(laughter continues)
- You know, I can't tell if
this is a desired thing in Australia.
Like, do you go talk to your realtor and go,
"Hmm, I like the house, but
there aren't enough kangaroos around."
- We all have our preferred shortcut
while coming home from work.
Well, take a look at this duck's way of getting home.
(playful music)
(crowd laughs)
(laughter continues)
- Don't mind us. This is a shortcut to the pond.
You're just not usually home during duck hour.
(funky electronic music)
(crowd laughs)
(laughter continues)
(music continues)
- And this is exactly why I moved to California. No, thanks.
(rhythmic music)
(crowd laughs)
- The HOA is really thorough with their inspection around
here. They don't... moose around!
(Devon laughs)
- This show isn't over yet,
but I think it's time we Hit the Hay.
(country-rock music)
(crowd laughs)
- [Woman] It's kind of plastic. Just so you know.
(laughter continues)
It's not real!
- If you ask me, neither of them look real,
that horse is beautiful!
(country music)
(horse whinny)
(crowd laughs)
(hooves thumping)
(horse whinny)
- The fact that this French bulldog is
even remotely close to these horses is insane.
- We're back with our special guest,
Patrika Darbo, and her dog Dusty.
I know you've only had her for six months,
but does she know any tricks?
(Patrika laughs)
- No. Well, she will sit for a treat
every once in a while, but not normally.
And as I said, she's obsessed with golf balls.
So my days of chipping in the backyard
are gone because otherwise I, I can't do it.
She's after the ball all the time.
- That is way too funny!
Backyard golf is definitely out of the question now!
So besides golfing, what are Dusty's favorite things to do?
- What is Dusty's favorite thing to do?
Get the squirrels, get the squirrels, they're on the wall!
Get the squirrels, they're here, they're there.
So she's a terror.
That's the terrier. Get those squirrels.
- [Elizabeth] Hank and Ruby chased after
just about everything too, so I can definitely relate.
Well, since I'm here working with my pets, I have to ask,
have you ever worked with animals before?
- I did Puppy Star Christmas with talking puppies.
I've done several Christmas movies with talking dogs.
They were so well behaved, not like mine,
but I have worked with animals and they're the best.
Absolutely the best.
- I'm glad you had fun on set with those dogs.
Hank and Ruby are great performers as well.
Although their job is pretty easy.
Thanks so much for stopping by and introducing us to Dusty.
- Liz, thank you so much for having Dusty and me today.
We had a great time!
- [Elizabeth] We have even more hilarious clips
with fake friends, coming up next
on World's Funniest Animals.
(outro music sting)
(intro music sting)
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals.
I can't wait to show you these next two segments.
We all love a good stuffed animal to keep us company.
So do our pets. Here's a closer look with Fake Friends.
(jazzy music)
(crowd laughs and claps)
- So this is where they keep the owls at Hogwarts!
You think it would be more, I don't know, magical.
(crowd laughs)
(sleepy music)
(slight snoring)
(laughter continues)
- You know that dog is tiny,
when his toys are bigger than him!
(tropical music)
(bird chattering)
(crowd laughs)
(bird continues chattering)
(laughter continues)
- I need cute little stuffed animals of all of my pets!
- Whether it's the mailman, a squirrel,
an unfamiliar sound, or just happy to see us,
our pets are bound to start Flipping Out.
(electronic music)
(dog barks)
(crowd laughs)
(dog growls)
- He's like a really excited realtor giving a tour!
(energetic music)
- [Woman] Come on!
Get some!
(woman laughs)
- See sports can divide a house or bring 'em together.
Clearly these two are rooting for the same team.
- There's nothing more exciting
than seeing family members, especially for our pets.
(electronic music)
(crowd laughs)
- These things used to be dinosaurs,
then bam, big explosion. We get chickens.
I'm pretty sure that's how scientists would explain it.
(crowd laughs)
- 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 cute kittens, hiding huskies,
outstanding orcas, brave bears, massive moose.
And what I can only imagine is a kangaroo family reunion.
(fun music)
Thanks so much to our panel,
and our special gas Patrika Darbo, and her dog Dusty!
- Say goodbye to Elizabeth!
Thanks so much for having Dusty and me today!
- Bye guys! And thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton. We'll see you next time,
on World's Funniest Animals.
