- You don't wanna miss this. (upbeat music)
We have loopy licking, spooky swine, happy horses
curious cats, cool canines, and a dog who has a special gift
for the mail delivery driver.
All this and more right here on "World's Funniest Animals."
Hello and welcome to "World's Funniest Animals,"
the one-stop shop for all of your funny animal needs.
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, Jason Ebbs.
- Hey, Liz. How you doing?
Happy to be here.
- Thanks for joining us.
We'll check back in with you in a little bit.
Our pets do the most adorable things
but sometimes we don't catch it on camera.
Thankfully, the owners in this next segment did.
It's "Just Too Cute," starting with commentary
from TV personality and fashionista, Katherine Murray.
- Hey, Lizzie.
- Knowing you, I think you'll love this first video.
- [Speaker] Mama.
(dog squealing)
- [Speaker] Good boy.
- Ma, ma, mama. (dog squealing)
- If my pets could speak English,
I would never leave the house
and my phone would be out of storage from all the videos.
- Next, we have standup comedian Brian Cooper.
- Hey, Liz.
I got a feeling you about to show me some good stuff.
- Brian, do you consider yourself the romantic type?
- Of course, they don't call me Chocolate City for nothing.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
He gave her a rose. She gave him a bill.
Seems like most of my Valentine's Days.
- Now we're joined by actress Anna Maria Perez de Tagle.
- Hi, Liz.
- So Anna, I know you don't have a dog
but would you ever want a cat?
- No offense, but no. (laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
I know what I just said about cats,
but we can all agree, kittens are adorable.
- Finally, we're joined by actor Devon Werkheiser.
- Hey, Liz.
- I can't wait for you to see this.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Wow.
Maybe dance class wouldn't have been so traumatizing
if I went to this one.
(graphics whooshing)
- After all that cuteness, I think it's time we take
a breather and head over to enjoy the sun and sand
and the ocean and have ourselves a beach day.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Hey, I'm with you bud.
Who really has the patience
for an entire game of tetherball?
We're at the beach.
- Let's go eat nachos in the sand and watch the waves.
- If you're ever looking to make new friends,
bring your dog to the beach.
This next clip proves it.
(upbeat music) (water splashing)
- Shiba Inus are Japanese hunting dogs.
You're just witnessing years of evolutionary traits.
Those waves never stood a chance.
(upbeat music) (water splashing)
(audience laughing)
Sunscreen? Check.
A towel? Check.
Check a comprehensive course
on how to protect myself from bears?
Did I forget that again?
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(water splashing)
- Suddenly I've overcome my fear of sharks.
- Time to check in on our special guest.
You may know him from his band, Jet Velocity.
We have Jason Ebbs.
- Hey, Liz. Happy to be here.
- What are your pets' names
and what kind of pets are they?
- This is Bonnie Lou. This is Bella.
This is Lucky Buddy Boy.
Bonnie Lou's a Turkish Angora
that we saved from a pet store.
We're actually babysitting her.
I don't know what kind of cat she is, but she's a cool one
and she likes rock and roll just like the rest of them.
He's about nine years old.
(dog barking)
He's part papillon, part golden retriever.
So he thinks he's a lap dog.
Rolling, rolling, rolling the hay.
- Aw, that's adorable.
How would you describe your pets?
- Oh, she is so sweet and so beautiful and so loving.
He chose us as they often do.
Got him in Malibu when we were playing
at a festival up in the coast.
I would describe him (dog barking)
as being obsessed with food. (laughing)
- Thanks, Jason.
We'll check back in with you all in just a little bit.
We have some pets who need your constant love
and affection with attention on me,
next on "World's Funniest Animals."
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals."
Our pets are usually pretty patient
and let us go on with our day to day
but sometimes they just get in the mood
and have to let you know it's time
to put some attention on me.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(graphic swooshing)
(audience laughing)
- I hope they keep their console somewhere safe.
That dog is about to turn their video games
into a new chew toy as revenge.
(light music)
(cat meowing)
(audience laughing)
(cat meowing)
(audience laughing)
(cat meowing)
(audience laughing)
(cat meowing)
- I'm still amazed that cats trained themselves
to meow in a way that would get human attention
and just domesticated themselves.
It's a fact. Look it up.
And this clip is a perfect example of it.
He's totally fallen for this kitten.
(cat meowing)
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
(dog barking)
(audience laughing)
(dog barking)
- Woo. Oh, the struggles of being an older sibling.
- Some dogs love the outside
and some dogs are more homebodies.
I think this dog loves being outside and looking inside.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Okay, I'm no expert here, but something's telling me
he either wants to go outside or that glass tastes amazing.
(graphic swooshing)
- Cats are great low maintenance pets
who for the most part are just kind of sleep all day
and cuddle up with you when they feel like it.
But sometimes they get all riled up
and that results in a feline freak out.
(dramatic music)
(audience laughing)
- Living in a house with two cats must be so confusing.
Are they best friends, mortal enemies, frenemies?
(upbeat music)
- Great job. Yeah, I've got the money inside.
Actually speaking of which.
Can you do a couple windows in here as well?
There's a bunch of paw prints on them.
No idea how they got there.
(dramatic music)
(audience laughing)
- This is exactly what happen when you get caught
running around the house by your mom.
- Stick around for even more hilarious animal videos
with "Down On the Farm," next on "World's Funniest Animals."
(upbeat music continues)
(upbeat music)
You're watching "World's Funniest Animals"
and I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton.
And this next segment, we're going to check in
with our friends in more rural communities
because we're heading down on the farm.
(upbeat music)
- I have this same exact brush.
It's the only way to tame all this hair.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Hey hey. This horse has some rhythm.
It's a solid two-step.
(upbeat music)
(bird squawking)
- Hey, no running in the house.
Do you think this is a farm?
Oh wait, I forgot. Carry on.
- We all have those friends
who are a little too high energy.
In this case, I think it's the goat.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Animals are just like us.
All short people have that one tall friend
getting high items in the grocery store,
being able to see at concerts.
It's a synergistic relationship.
- Time to clean up and cool off after being on the farm,
and head over to our next segment
we like to call "Splish Splash."
(upbeat music) (goose quacking)
(audience laughing)
(water splashing)
- I think you're supposed to have a duck in the bath.
That's a goose.
(upbeat music)
- [Speaker] Made a little ice pool
for Walter and Chandler.
As you can see, Chandra loved it.
Zoomie, zoomie, zoomie. (ice crackling)
Walter was skeptical. (audience laughing)
But he finally got in.
(audience laughing)
Nope, nevermind.
No thanks, mom. I'm done. (ice crackling)
Well, mom, this is so fun.
More zoomies. (ice crackling)
- Well, guys, he's an elite athlete.
Ice baths are part of his recovery.
(upbeat music) (water splashing)
(audience laughing)
- So close, yet so far.
Try a running start little guy.
(graphic swooshing)
- We're back with Jason Ebbs and all of his pets.
(drum roll)
What are some of their favorite things to do?
- She likes to get mischievous.
He loves to eat.
He's so elegant.
As I take off my shoes, he just (panting).
And he loves to chew on my sweaty socks after a gig.
I know it's kind of disgusting, but she loves to shed.
(Jason laughing)
And I love to wear black,
so you can imagine what that's like.
Oh my goodness. Look at this.
See, I told you she likes to shed.
(dog barking)
- Being a musician, do your pets ever hang out with you
in the studio while you're making music?
- She does whatever she wants in the studio.
She thinks it's hers. You think it's yours?
(cat meowing)
She comes back and sits by the drums if I'm playing.
Come on, come on back.
Ready? Where'd you go?
Come here buddy. I guess he's camera shy.
Or he sits right down by my feet while I'm mixing here
in this part of the studio.
Mmm. (cat meowing)
Meow. Oh, it's okay.
Okay. Say bye.
Bye-Bye. Woof.
- Thanks for introducing us to your furry friends, Jason.
- It's kind of a zoo, huh?
You want to get down? Heh.
(dog barking)
Now you talk.
(graphic swooshing) (phone ringing)
- Let's take a look at some pets who love technology
as much as we do in "Pet Tech,"
coming up next on "World's Funniest Animals."
(upbeat music)
- Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals."
I can't wait to show you these next two segments.
Technology has taken over
basically every aspect of our lives,
and it's even gotten to our pets.
So let's take a look at some animals who love technology
as much as we do with "Pet Tech."
(upbeat music) (tablet clacking)
(audience laughing)
- [Speaker] It's over.
- Clearly a Mortal Kombat fan.
I can tell by the button mashing.
(upbeat music)
- Look, I get it.
So you get stuck in a long gaming session
and someone comes out of nowhere?
Scares me too.
(phone ringing)
(dog barking)
(audience laughing)
(dog barking)
(audience laughing)
- That's one way to handle telemarketers.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- [Speaker] No.
(audience laughing) (upbeat music continues)
(bird cawing)
No. Yoshi, no. (audience laughing)
(beep)
- Yeah, I see what's wrong.
You see your key is off.
That's why it doesn't work.
- We all know sit, stay, lay down, roll over.
You know the basic pets tricks,
but these animals have hidden talents.
(upbeat music) - Can you bowl?
(audience laughing)
Yay. You did it.
- The cat's like, can I bowl?
You mean like this?
Easy.
(upbeat music)
- As impressive as it was, the way it was edited
makes me feel like I was watching a
commercial at 3: 00 AM,
and in the end, even though none of the footage
had anything to do with the product,
it turned out to be for an allergy medication.
Side effects may include adorable dogs
doing amazing obstacles in slow motion.
(upbeat music)
- [Group] Oh.
- Man, I tried this with my dog
and they were not interested.
So if you looking for a kid's basketball hoop, hit me up.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- I wonder if they can vacuum, too.
Might consider getting a dog then.
(upbeat music)
- [Speaker] Come slowly.
(audience laughing)
- Hey y'all. It's famous hockey player, Gordie Howe.
(graphic swooshing)
- 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 bold bulldogs, pilfering parrots,
communicating canines, (phone ringing)
dancing dogs, crazed cats, comfy cows
and one of the most agile and talented dogs
I have ever seen.
(upbeat music)
Thanks so much to our panel and to our special guests,
Jason Ebbs and his pets.
- Bye, Liz. Bye everyone.
Thanks so much for having me.
We love this show.
- Bye, guys, and thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton.
We'll see you next time on "World's Funniest Animals."
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- [Group] Oh.
(audience laughing) (tablet clacking)
(dog squeaking) - Ma, mama.
(upbeat music continues)
