- You don't wanna miss this.
We have confused cats, happy hedgehogs,
bouncing barkers, daring ducks, silly seals
and a parrot who is destined to be a pop star.
All this and more right here on "World's Funniest Animals".
Hello and welcome to "World's Funniest Animals".
where we show you all the most hilarious 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,
Joshua Milrad.
- Hey Liz, how's it going?
- Thanks for joining us, Josh.
We'll be back to you guys in just a little bit.
Our pets are part of our family
and sometimes we are lucky enough to have pets
when we are just starting a family, and those moments
are a little segment we like to call baby steps,
starting with writer and actor Noah Matthews.
- Hey, Liz.
- I know you love cats, so this clip is just for you.
(upbeat music) (laughs)
- You know, learning how to befriend a cat at a young age
really sets you up for making friends with anyone.
I mean nobody is more anti-social than cats,
let's be honest.
- Next, we have actress Carmen Hodgson.
- Hey, Lizzie.
- You are going to love this next clip.
- I can't wait.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughs)
Okay, that's it,
I've decided I'm choosing a quieter life.
I'm moving to the country, I'm getting some goats
and they're gonna run around all over my house.
This is my pursuit of happiness.
- Now we're joined by comedian Brian Cooper.
- Hey Liz, I'm ready for the shenanigans today.
- Well, there's definitely some shenanigans going on
in this next clip.
(upbeat music)
- [Videographer 1] You were just picking it up.
Do you need apple juice or something?
(upbeat music)
(laughs)
- See, this is why you need a dog.
They will bring the baby it's apple juice.
- Finally, we have singer and comedian, Mikalah Gordon.
Hey, Mikalah. - Hey, Liz.
- I have the most touching clip for you.
You just have to see it.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughs)
- No, not the baby and the dog holding hands!
This is adorable.
- Working out is a great way to stay healthy
and if you can, it should be added to your routine.
But if you have a pet, why not include them in all the fun?
Here's workout.
(upbeat music) (dog barks)
- Okay, so we've all had our dogs play with balloons before
but they're prone to run around the house and wreak havoc
but attaching it to their collar?
Genius move.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughs)
- If my dog did this,
I would definitely be much more motivated to work out.
- What happens when you mix kissing and cardio?
Let's find out.
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- Monday is arm day, Tuesday is leg day,
Wednesday is dog day.
- Time to check in on our special guest.
You may know him from his iconic role in "The Beast Master".
Here's Joshua Milrad.
- Hey Liz, how's it going? - Doing great.
And who do we have here?
- Well, this is Max.
He's half Chihuahua and half Shihtzu,
and this is Tiko, he's mostly Terrier.
- Aw, they're adorable.
How long have you had Max and Tiko?
- We've had these guys for about 10 years, believe it or not
and they got along from the moment they met, check it out.
(upbeat music)
- Friends at first sight, tell us a bit more about them.
- They couldn't be more different
but they couldn't be better friends.
Max was given to us by some painters that came by the house
and were trying to get rid of him
because he was too mischievous.
And Tiko was rescued from the streets of Palm Springs.
- What are some of their favorite things to do?
- Max here loves to find a nice warm spot in the sun,
either outside or inside,
and just relax and contemplate life.
Tiko, he's a little more adventurous.
He likes to be outside and explore and run around.
He's just a mama's boy.
He just loves to do whatever mama's doing.
- Ruby here is a mama's girl, so I can relate.
We'll check back in with you three in just a little bit.
Stick around, we have even more hilarious videos
coming up next on "World's Funniest Animals".
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals".
Get your swimsuit on and grab a pair of flippers
because we're taking a dive into our next segment
and seeing what it's like to live life at sea.
(upbeat music) (seals squeal)
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- As somebody who speaks fluent seal,
they're saying you can't sit with us!
- Oh yes, Mustard! - Oh yeah, you got it, bubba!
- Man these pigs are so lucky,
they get to hang out on a beach all day.
Now, imagine being a pig in like Nebraska
and seeing this video.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughs)
- Don't mind me just hitching a ride to the docks.
That cruise ship left me behind.
(upbeat music) (group screams)
- Suddenly that whole Jonah and the whale story
is making a lot more sense.
- Fun fact, did you know
that octopuses can beat great dancers?
Take a peak at this.
(upbeat music)
- Ah, yes,
octopuses are known for their interpretive dances.
Fish around the world come to watch them.
(upbeat music)
- There's a new sandbar that just opened
so they're rushing to check it out.
- From sea to skies, let's check out our feathered friends
in our next segment, taking flight.
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- He's gonna bury it. (audience laughs)
(upbeat music) (laughs)
- As far as I'm concerned,
you can mark this hole as a birdie on the scorecard, okay?
(upbeat music)
- Animals are so pure, we really don't deserve them.
- I've never seen a duck this talented before.
Normally, I'm just trying to get them out of my pool.
(upbeat music)
- With all the movies of animals playing sports
this is clearly a missed opportunity.
This duck needs an agent, he's gonna be a star, honey.
(upbeat music)
- This reminds me of those old computer screensavers
from the early 2000s. (upbeat music)
- And now performing in our next event,
the acrobatic curtain routine,
we have carry Perry the Parrot.
- We have some pets who are extremely musically inclined
coming up next on "World's Funniest Animals".
(bird whistles) (upbeat music)
You're watching "World's Funniest Animals"
and I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton.
And in this next segment
we are exploring pets who have talents
you wouldn't quite expect, this time of the musical variety.
Here's Sing Along.
(dogs sing) (audience laughs)
- Who knew that our pets could be this musically talented?
(dogs sing) (audience laughs)
- And this next song is called,
"Where Are My Treats" dedicated to my owner.
Where are my treats?
(bird sings) (audience laughs)
- Step one, getting the equipment.
Step two, finding a song in your key.
- We all love a good pick for socials
but sometimes our pets and animals
aren't as interested in keeping up
with social media content.
Let's take a closer look in our segment selfie.
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- No, Dad, no the camera is facing you.
I can see you.
No, no, can you see me?
No, no, no, don't, you don't have to mess with it.
Dad, Dad, I can see you.
Okay, well, let's just go on a normal call, yeah?
- I think this dog secretly wants to be in the photo
but does not want to let their owner know.
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- This is just like when you're too shy
to tell your crush that you like them.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughs)
- I always want what my friends ordered at restaurants too.
I totally get it.
- [Videographer 2] Smile, show me your smile.
Smile, oh, so handsome!
- Yeah, I'm smiling lady.
Now just gimme my treat so we can move on.
- We're back with Tiko, Max and Josh and I have to ask,
do they know any tricks?
- Honestly, they don't do any fancy tricks
besides the basics, but they are, again
wonderful companions and they give us a ton of joy.
They're awfully cute and they love to pose for the camera.
Maybe that's their trick.
- Speaking of cameras, what was it like
working on "Beast Masters" with all those animals?
- [Josh] As a kid, being in the "Beast Master"
was absolutely amazing.
It was a dream come true
for any kid who loves animals and adventure.
It felt like I was being transported
to another time for a while, horses running through fire.
There was a bear, a black tiger, an eagle,
an amazing dog that did all kinds of tricks
and so many beautiful horses, riding day and night
through ridiculous conditions.
What an incredible moment in time, it was surreal.
- Were there any rules working with all these animals?
- There were very strict rules
in place when it came to me interacting with the tiger
but I did have a few special moments,
but mostly I got to play with the ferrets
and they were amazing.
There must have been two dozen of them on set.
Some looked really cute in closeups.
Some could do tricks, some could fetch, some could balance.
They could do a lot more than these guys, that's for sure.
- Sounds like an incredible experience.
Maybe we should look into getting some
ferrets around here.
Thanks for sharing that story,
and of course introducing us to Max and Tiko.
- Well, thanks Liz.
It was great being here and I had a great time.
- We have one of my all-time favorite segments,
simply silly coming up next on "World's Funniest Animals".
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals".
I can't wait to show you these next two segments.
Sometimes our pets can be lazy or hyper,
and other times the only way to explain their behavior
is just simply silly.
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- So yeah, this seemed like a good idea at the time,
but now I'm stuck, help!
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- You know, if you put a sweater on him,
he would basically double as a broom.
He'd be cleaning your floors while he rolled around.
- Sometimes you can spend hours
trying to find the perfect gift for someone
just for them to not even appreciate it.
(upbeat music)
- [Videographer 3] How did you do that?
No!
Chili!
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- I spend all day in the garden
finding you the perfect flower and this is what I get?
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- Look, I don't know what kind of like
recreational group this is, but count me in,
I'm a new member.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughs)
- Oh, oh, my bad, this is the wrong car.
Thought you were driving me to this pet store
to get some cat food.
He must still be on his way.
- Dogs, cats, and birds
you know the usual suspects when talking about pets
but there's a whole nother option
few are bold enough to have in their homes,
here's pet pigs.
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- I ain't no psychic
but I think the owner's favorite color is pink.
(pig snorts) (audience laughs)
- It's a pig in a blanket.
This is the only kind I ever wanna see.
(upbeat music) (audience laughs)
- I like how anytime the cat's get too playful
the pig just plays dead, solid strap.
(audience 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 dotting dogs, gallivanting
goats, welcoming whales,
smiling shepherds, playful pigs, workout wolfers,
and a bird you do not want to run into on the golf course.
(upbeat music)
Thanks so much to our panel and to our special guest,
Joshua Milrad and his pets, Max and Tiko.
- Thanks Liz, see you next time.
- Bye guys, and thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton.
We'll see you next time on "World's Funniest Animals".
