Time to cozy up
with your very best friend.
Because on the show,
we've got a dancing ostrich,
an elephant who clearly doesn't understand personal space,
and the Tony Hawk of monkeys,
plus the most talented dogs you've ever seen.
Don't forget about the cats.
Hold on tight for a stunning display
of aerobic skill.
And if that's not enough,
we take to the skies and also learn new tricks
with our feathered friends.
All this and a lot more
on "World's Funniest Animals".
- Welcome to World's Funniest Animals,
your one stop shop
for the most hilarious animal clips out there.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton.
And these are my trusty sidekicks Hank
and Ruby joined today with a few
of my friends and panelists as well as two celebrity guests.
Tom Arnold.
- Hey everybody.
- And our next guest, Natalie Lander.
- Hey, thanks for having us, Liz.
- While some animals are content
to cozy up in a comfy dog bed.
Others prefer to stretch their legs in their natural
or not so natural habitats.
It's a wildlife.
- Brought to you with commentary by our first panelist,
singer, actor, comedian,
radio host extraordinaire Mikalah Gordon.
- Hey, Liz.
- Hey Mikalah, check out this clip of this fat seal
and the unusual way it gets around.
- Oh my gosh, I'm so ready.
Oh, that was sad feels like me at the beach.
- For our next clip, actor, writer, producer,
Noah Matthews breaks it down.
- Hey Liz.
Yes, so ready let's get started.
This husband has designed a prank destined
to have him sleeping on the couch tonight.
He has a live snake that he's about
to sneak up on his wife with.
If someone did this to me,
I would have some serious trust issues.
- Oo ooh, these wild animal clips you never know.
- Top-notch comedian Brian Cooper is also on our panel.
- Hey, Liz,
I'm happy to be here and I'm ready
for some funny clips.
- Hey Brian, what do you think
of these girls wrestling a baby elephant?
- Elephants never forget people.
So three to four years from now
these girls might be ready for the heavyweight rematch.
It's feeding time at the zoo
for these adorable lemurs.
I'm kinda jealous at this guy right now.
Wait a second.
Does he even work there?
How do I get to feed lemurs?
- Our fourth and final panelist is a rising star up
and coming actress Carmen Hodgson.
- Hey, Liz.
Yes, animal videos are my favorite, favorite videos.
- Well perfect then I've got one for you.
Let's see if you can tell what's happening here.
♪ I'm so tired of the same thing ♪
♪ Nothing all right ♪
♪ It's still good ♪
- Oh please mom, can I please just go play
with my friends?
♪ No where to escape ♪
♪ It tasted good ♪
- And I'm excited to jump right
into our category, hidden talents.
Where you'll probably be pretty jealous
after checking out the skills shown up by man
and woman's best friend.
I know I was.
Hidden talents.
- I'm gonna hire this guy for my next gig.
I've been getting it wrong.
- I play for treats.
- Don't you hate it when you get crumbs in your keys?
Arthur, can you go play the piano?
Ah, now singing too.
Very nice.
Very good boy playing piano.
- Is it still considered a layup if you're
on all fours.
Let's go.
Load up.
- Wait.
Let's see that in slow mo.
I would never be late
to anything if I could jump in the car that fast.
They must be going to the park.
- Why is this dog 10 times more coordinated than me.
- Imagining getting your waves stolen by a dog?
- I can't believe I'm considering asking a dog
for surfing lesson.
On your marks, get set, go.
What a top of the line security dog.
He's scanning the perimeter like a pro.
- I'm really excited for this part
of the show where we bring you right
into the homes of celebrities and their pets.
- Hey Liz.
Happy to be here.
- With all you've done
in TV and film.
Do you have a story about working
with animals on set?
- I worked with a famous elephant
on the set of "Saving Flora"
and this elephant had better credits with me
and she was in a ton of great movies.
"Water for Elephants" and "Operation Dumbo Drop"
and I noticed that she was always
on the right spot better prepared
than me to do all of her lines.
I can't even explain it just this gentle, beautiful,
40 year old elephant.
- It's crazy to think that some animals
are career actors themselves.
You don't wanna miss what's coming next,
some of the craziest antics
of animals ever caught on tape, and later,
the show's gone to the birds.
- We'll be right back
with more "World's Funniest Animals".
- Cats usually sleep anywhere from 12
to 16 hours a day,
lounging around all afternoon stretched out
in the sun.
Sounds pretty nice, doesn't it?
Well, since cats are known to be so relaxed,
this next segment might surprise you.
Check out some of these crazy felines.
Flipping out!
- Honey, I think we broke the cat.
- My money is on him in the feline Olympics definitely.
- Maple leafs are just Canadian cat nip.
- Touchdown house gangs.
- We are back with one
of my favorite segments wild animals.
I can't wait to show you what antics
these wild ones have been up to.
- Okay, this has to be one
of the best bucket list things I've ever seen.
Oh, I'm so jealous.
- Wow, wow, wow, come on one bear per hammock,
you know the rules.
Can you just relax for once?
It's supposed to be peaceful.
Don't stand why are you standing?
Oh no.
Corny, corny, corny pick.
There you go.
Oh my god.
Imagine going on safari
with your family with the hopes
of relaxing seeing a few animals and bam,
bird food everywhere.
They merely lost the whole bucket.
This photographer is trying to be as still as possible.
You can't outrun a cheetah so your best bet is
to just not move.
Are you eating the bouquet?
Are you guys here for Johnny Kelly's wedding?
- We were told it was cool to take the centerpieces
or is that not cool?
I don't remember this level in Tony Hawk.
- Is that parkour?
Up next, the show's gone
to the birds.
- Don't go away "World's Funniest Animals"
will be right back.
Did you know there are around 18,000 species
of birds in the world,
and over 1100 of them live
in the United States.
Not only is that pretty crazy,
but it means that some have
to work a lot harder than others
to get attention.
If pumping up their feathers
isn't enough birds can resort
to some pretty bizarre behaviors.
Watch me.
- Hey, Bill.
Hey Bill.
Look, I'm upside down.
Ah, a nice trip to the farm.
This chicken is not having it.
- Wait is it playing in tune.
- I took guitar lessons for two years.
I'm not kidding you
and this bird is still better than me.
- So are they flying?
This is actually cool.
- Please get on the bike,
please get on the bike.
He's on the bike.
- These next animals aren't just all bark.
They really have the skills
to back it up.
Let's jump into our next segment.
Pets have talent.
- Yes, people it's all about the matching outfit.
Ah, that was brutal.
- We need to see that in slow mo.
- No the dog is not putting itself to bed.
This cat just might have a better memory
than I do.
He is a total pro with this game.
See if you can play along it's tough.
Now that is difficult.
- On his way to steal yo girl.
Good job buddy.
Good job.
- This dog is on my team for any board game please.
- Natalie, what about your pup?
Can Billy do any tricks?

Ready?
Billy stare.
You're a star.
- Hey Tom, can your pet do any tricks like that?
- My pet is good at running in circles.
- Hold on a minute running in circles.
A dog.
What kinda pet do you have there?
- I'm very proud of these guys.
But they seem to get in this low pair of sight
and just making noise.
- Wow, impressive.
- Guys, you wanna get in there do some loops
for the people at home.
Gonna wanna do a little get
to do though.
Okay, they don't like to show off.

to flaunt their talents too much.
It's rude.

Next on "World's Funniest Animals".
- Grab a snack and your pet's favorite tree
and I'll grab some more hilarious animal clips for you.
When we return to "World's Funniest Animals".
There are certain phrases like walk or treat
that can cause our pet to totally freak.
These clips show those exact moments
where animals are losing it.
- I wanna swing
from the chandelier he loves Sia makes sense.
- That's a good cat.
That's a strong cat.
That's a real cat.
- Honestly I just feel bad for the Roomba at this point.
I mean, how is it ever supposed to finish it's job?
- That's mission impossible I can tell.
- Aww, it's so sad.
I love the moment where the cat realizes mid air
that they haven't made the catch.
- We are joining the rest of the flock
as we start our next segment feathered friends.
- Alexa Christmas lights on.
Okay.
- Dude half the time I use talk
to text it comes out as just gibberish.
But this bird can work the Christmas lights
with voice recognition.

of the funniest moments, rolling seals,
a cat spinning out of control,
an aspiring dog pianist,
a cat who has turned their owner's table
into jungle gym,
a dog who is a pro on a scooter

an Olympic gymnast hopeful cat,
