- [Elizabeth] You don't wanna miss this.
We have performing pachyderms,
kangaroo caddies, birthday balloons,
comfortable cats, channel surfing owls,
and a golden retriever demonstrating
why they're called retrievers.
- All this and more right here
on "World's Funniest Animals".
(energetic music concludes)
Hey there, and welcome to "World's Funniest Animals".
We've searched far and wide
to bring you all of the most hilarious animal clips.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton
joined by my partners in crime, Hank and Ruby
as well as our awesome panelists,
Daniel, Carmen and Devon.
We're so happy to have you here.
Between all of our responsibilities
with work and life, sometimes our pets have to
remind us to give them a little extra attention
and they let us know by saying, "Play With Me".
(upbeat music) (group chatters)
- "Listen guys, I don't care if you paid 200 bucks
for a lift ticket, there's still another toll
if you wanna ski on this trail.
You gotta throw the stick.
Okay, if you pay for just one and there's two of you,
throw the stick again or it's a no-go for you.
Okay, you're good."
(jaunty music)
(woman laughs)
- Hey pal, get a clue.
Your best friend is trying to tell you something.
He's holding a toy skunk in his mouth for a reason.
He's telling you your team stinks.
They're gonna get skunked.
So just turn off the tube
and save yourself all that disappointment
and just play with your dog.
- Get ready, this elephant is going
to show us what he can do on the drums.
(group laughs) (elephant taps on drum)
Okay!
It seems like he has some talent there.
Drums though, not his main instrument.
The trumpet, that's where he really shines.
(elephant trumpets)
(clip whooshes) (energetic music)
- When you live in a rural community,
major league ballparks are just too far away.
So why not hoof it into town and watch the local farm team?
Sure, watching the Harristown heifers
is not quite like seeing one of the big teams,
but these minor leaguers keep the action moo-ving,
and they really have their heads in the game.
(clip whooshes)
- Now you often see somebody get balloons
and a teddy bear for their birthday.
This certainly takes that idea up a level.
And who had the most fun with the balloons on this birthday?
I'd say it was the bear.
(upbeat music)
- "Hey shorty, you can dive by me all you want,
but I'm not moving from this sweet spot.
We both know mom's gonna be making sandwiches
in a few minutes
and this is the exact epicenter of the food-spill zone,
so you can run around 'til you're dizzy,
but I've staked my claim on this golden real estate
and I'm not moving".
(logo whooshes)
- Just like humans,
pets have some times that they make bad decisions.
These may cause some unfortunate situations
but also some priceless funny moments.
Let's laugh at some of these in "Busted".
(upbeat music)
(cheerful music)
- "Hey mom, thanks for preparing my lunch.
I appreciate you putting it in those
airtight containers to keep it fresh.
And I hate to complain, but they're so 20th century.
You know now, they have those earth-friendly
options out there.
I'm just sayin'."
(cheerful music concludes)
(clip whooshes)
- [Female Ferret Owner] Who did that?
(soft music)
Heidi?
- "Hey, hey, chill out.
I can explain.
You know that thing you lost in the couch?
You know that thing where we were just trying
to ferret it out, capiche?
And yes, as a matter of fact, we're still looking."
(soft music concludes) (clip whooshes)
(woman laughs) (cheery music)
- [Female Dog Owner] Is your head stuck in the food bag?
- We've all heard the phrase,
"he got his hand caught in the cookie jar".
This is the dog version of that.
(cheery music concludes) (clip whooshes)
(cheerful music)
- "Okay, I know this is technically not my yard,
but hey, he doesn't need to flip out.
Wow, this is one territorial tortoise.
A real life mutant ninja turtle.
Every time I turn around, whoop, there he is.
He is like an armored assault vehicle.
The fastest tortoise on the planet.
Can't he just leave a poodle alone?
I am totally shellshocked."
(Carmen sighs)
(slow music)
- Before you do anything big,
it's always smart to do a cost-benefit analysis.
Ask yourself, "what's the risk versus the reward?"
And for some, "is the crime worth the punishment?"
In this case, he decided to go for it.
Sure, he'll be spending some time
in the dog house, but this is epic.
(Daniel chuckles)
He'll be telling his granddogs about it for years to come.
(dramatic music)
- There's been a rumor going around
that a raccoon has been in the trash recently.
Well, it isn't a rumor and it's isn't a raccoon.
It's not even a gang or a herd of raccoons.
This is a whole convention.
(energetic music)
(logo whooshes)
- Favorite animal clips, we all have them.
Take a look at some of mine.
(upbeat music)
(soft music)
(cups slide)
I have seen this game so many times
and I always pick the wrong cup.
Whoa. (cup clatters)
He got it right. (magpie patters)
But he can't possibly do it twice.
(cups slide) (soft music continues)
(cup clatters) How can he do that?
I get it, he's the early bird.
He always gets the worm.
(clip whooshes)
Feeding time is great for bonding with your best friend,
enjoyed by both pet and owner.
In fact, I can't decide who has
the sillier grin on his face here.
(clip whooshes) (soft music)
- [Carmen] It happens a lot.
The massage is so good that you fall right asleep,
and that's okay.
The therapist doesn't mind.
In fact, it gives her a chance to take a quick phone call
and nobody's gonna squawk about it.
(logo whooshes)
- Stick around, "Game On" next on
"World's Funniest Animals".
(crowd cheers) (energetic music concludes)
(energetic music)
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals".
Life is not all fun and games,
but it is in our next segment.
Here's "Game On".
(upbeat country music)
(barrel clatters)
- Whoa, whoa.
(barrel clatters) Stop with all this horse play.
Now, that is a heavy barrel you are throwin' around there.
(barrel clangs)
Yeah, it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt.
Boy, that is no toy.
Stop that horsin' around.
And by the way, what did you do
with that cowboy who was in that saddle?
(upbeat country music concludes)
(clip whooshes) (cheerful music)
- Caddies like this are not just some clever ruse.
They have a lot of advantages,
with a handy pouch down under for holding
extra balls, tees, and your cold drink.
And they're always eager to hop on any task.
(upbeat music) - Okay, it's time to play
"Who's who"?
Where you have to guess who
really has the unusual occupation
and who are the imposters?
"Oh, I think it's the all white one on the right."
"No, sorry.
That is not correct."
(clip whooshes) (soft music)
- "I may look like just some hair-brained beginner,
but when it comes to Jenga, I am one bad bunny.
Yeah, I know what's up.
Now watch and be amazed.
I just did the hard part.
You can finish it up.
'cause I gotta bounce.
See ya."
(upbeat music)
- "Now. I don't really have a dog in this fight,
I'm sure they're both fine animals.
We've got the cattle dog against the bird dog.
Yeehaw.
Looks like it's gonna be closer than a tick on a hound.
It's tighter than new boots on a rainy day.
They want that win like it's
the last biscuit at the barbecue.
Well, whoop-de-doo.
The cattle dog wins.
I guess deep down I was pullin' for him,
'cause he loves them cows just like I do.
Heehaw."
(logo whooshes)
- Even animals have a little larceny in their hearts.
Let me show you what I mean in our segment,
"Stop Thief".
(upbeat music)
(slow music)
- Oh yeah.
I mean, look at this security camera footage.
You can tell this guy is a real pro.
When he comes up against a tamper-proof container,
it's smarter to just take the whole thing back
to his shop where he has all the time
in the world to get it open.
Oh yeah.
You can tell he's not the new kid on the block.
(slow music concludes) (clip whooshes)
(cheerful music)
- "Why?
Why did mom put this way up here in the bathroom?
She knows it's Tuesday.
And every Tuesday at 10 o'clock on the dot
I do my cat yoga and I need my yoga mat.
Namaste.
Namaste."
(cheery music)
- "If you're gonna dress me up (woman laughs)
in this ridiculous hat,
I'm not doin' it for free.
I'm gonna get paid for it." - [Female Cat Owner] No!
(woman laughs) (clip whooshes)
(upbeat music)
- [Female Dog Owner 2] Archie, you don't drive.
Gimme the keys.
Here, gimme the keys.
Archie.
- Here we have a dog who's tired of being left home alone
and he's taking matters into his own hands.
Actually, his mouth, but don't be too rough on him.
He's just lonely.
(cheerful music)
- Seems like this security service is not so great.
He can't even lock down his own lunch.
(jaunty music)
- "Yes, officer, two of them, they stole my package.
I have it all on my security camera.
They were both very big and really rough-looking.
One of them might be a boxer.
Please, you've gotta do something
about these pooch pirates."
(clip whooshes)
- Hey, don't snooze now.
"Simply Silly" is coming up next on
"World's Funniest Animals".
(energetic music concludes)
(energetic music)
You're watching "World's Funniest Animals"
and I'm your host Elizabeth Stanton.
Animals are just like us.
Sometimes they act very intelligent,
and other times they're just "Simply Silly".
(soft music)
- "So they're all downstairs watching the game
and they expect me to stay upstairs on my bed?
(Daniel chuckles)
Nope, not gonna happen.
All right, everybody make some room.
The big dog is here."
(soft music continues)
(clip whooshes) (upbeat music)
- This is the very first video
of the latest dance craze that's blowing up on social media.
(group laughs)
The real question is, which one of them
actually came up with this awesome move?
(dog scrabbles)
(woman laughs)
- I think the phrase that applies here is,
"if at first you don't succeed, try using the stairs".
(soft music)
- "Fortunately for our four-legged friends,
fur went out of fashion a while ago.
But now it is back in a kinder, gentler way.
It is the latest couture trend, live fur fashion.
You can look cool and take your pet
out for a fun outing at the same time."
(logo whooshes) (energetic music)
- Now it's time to cool off and enjoy the water
because here's our next segment, "Splish Splash".
(energetic music concludes)
(cheery music)
- "Hey, Goldie, I think you've got a case
of 'big fish in a small pond' syndrome.
It's time you learn that I'm the top dog around here
and you either swim like I tell you to,
or you get out of the pool."
(gentle music)
- "Ah, it is spa time.
At Heavenly Waters, we offer rejuvenating baths
guaranteed to work wonders for your skin.
So dive into the divine and re-emerge
with a radiant flow that only mud can give."
(dog sneezes)
(clip whooshes) (upbeat music)
- Plant-based food is really taking off.
Here's a vegan duck soup that's become very popular.
It's especially delicious with quackers.
(gentle music)
- [Devon] This penguin is really
hamming it up for the camera.
- [Man On Boat] Gonna make them jealous.
- "Hey guys, watch this.
What movie is this from?
'I'm king of the world.
I'm king of the world.'"
And Jack could have definitely fit on that door.
(gentle music concludes) (group cheers softly)
(clip whooshes) (soft drum music)
- [Daniel] "When you're big, you have quite a few options.
There are big and tall shops,
plus-sized clothing, king-sized beds.
But sadly, there are no plus-sized bathtubs.
Now, does this look comfortable?
No.
And yes, I do exercise, thank you very much."
(soft drum music continues)
(clip whooshes) (food rattles)
(woman screams) (woman laughs)
(water splashes)
- "What are the two most important
rules of horseback riding?
Number one, do not fall off.
Number two, find a soft place to land.
Although she did forget number one,
(woman screams)
fortunately she remembered number two."
(water splashes)
(upbeat music) (logo whooshes)
- Get ready, we're going airborne.
"Taking Flight" next on "World's Funniest Animals".
(bird chirps)
(energetic music concludes)
(energetic music)
Time to head off into the wild blue yonder
in our next segment, "Taking Flight".
(soft music)
- "We do not eat on paper plates in this house.
Okay, if we go on a picnic, that's different,
but I'll say it again.
We do not eat on paper plates in this house."
(soft music concludes) (clip whooshes)
(upbeat music)
- "Hey, something's wrong with my computer.
Yeah, see, I'm typing like crazy
and there's nothing coming up on the screen.
Oh, wait a minute.
Now I see.
Somehow I hit a button and got it stuck in mirror mode."
(soft music)
- Now the problem with TV remotes is
you can never find them.
Well, now that problem is solved
with the wise remote locator.
Just call out, "who's got the remote?"
And listen for the response.
"Who, who?"
(soft music concludes)
(clip whooshes) (upbeat drum music)
- "Grandma always said,
'It's not potatoes, it's not bread.
Spaghetti is the most universal food.'
And I would always just scratch my head and wonder,
but not anymore.
Turns out she was right."
(hip hop music)
♪ Juicy, juicy ♪
- "Who is this?
It's the latest hip hop artist to bust a rhyme,
and he's ruffling feathers all over the music scene.
His songs all have a catchy beat
and he makes the chicks' hearts flutter.
What's his name?
LL Blue Jay.
And he's flyin' up the charts."
(logo whooshes)
- What better way to cap off our episode
than a nice little treat?
Our pets love them.
And we'll take a look
at exactly that in our segment "Feeding Frenzy".
(upbeat music)
- "When you win the lottery, the next thing you know,
all kinds of friends and relatives start
coming out of the woodwork with their hands out.
Hey, I'm happy to share my good fortune,
but this is like playing whack-a-raccoon."
(clip whooshes) (energetic music)
- Hummingbird feeders are a popular way to help
out our feathered friends and get a chance
for a closeup view of these tiny, beautiful birds.
And best of all, there are options like this one,
that are quick to install and require no tools.
(clip whooshes) (upbeat music)
- Hey, I realize this is an all-you-can-eat buffet.
You paid the price now you wanna enjoy it,
but this is just nuts.
(upbeat music concludes) (clip whooshes)
(soft music) (child chatters)
- Okay, this has got to be the world's largest rabbit.
When he wants a bite of the apple,
you would be harebrained to say no.
You'd just hop right to it and give him some,
and hope he doesn't take your hand off by mistake.
(upbeat music)
- "Oh, okay, which is it?
I always forget, if the ground hog eats the pizza,
does that mean spring comes early?"
"Nah, nah.
If he eats the pizza
that means six more weeks of winter."
"Oh, okay, so he only ate half the pizza
so that just means three more weeks, right?"
(wind blows) - Now, this is Indy,
and Indy's favorite food in the whole world
is corn on the cob.
- "Now, this is something we're not used
to eating down under in Australia.
This corn on the cob, I've only seen it in the movies.
Very American.
Hey, nobody told me it gets stuck in your teeth.
Hey, who's got a toothbrush or some floss?"
(logo whooshes)
- 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 cheeky chipmunks, happy horses,
porch pirate pooches, duck soup,
clever canines, dancing duos,
and a penguin who's seen Titanic
just a few times too many.
(upbeat music)
- Thanks so much to our panel, and thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton.
We'll see you next time on "World's Funniest Animals".
