- You don't wanna miss what we've got in store.
We have manic monkeys, rowdy raccoons, piggybacking pygmies,
prison break parrots, and a dog that teaches yoga.
All this and more, right here on "World's Funniest Animals."
(audience laughing)
Hello and welcome to "World's Funniest Animals"
where your pets take center stage.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton,
here with my favorite co-hosts, Hank and Ruby,
as well as our awesome panelists,
Daniel, Carmen, and Devon.
We're so happy to have you here.
I love a good dog or cat video, who doesn't?
But let's take a look at what our friends
over at the rodeo are up to.
(dramatic adventure music)
- Yippee-Ki-Yay, get along little doggy.
Yep, I sure do love me at good western.
Now here we've got that moment where the rider
and his trusty mount become one.
What can I say except yee-haw!
(dramatic adventure music)
(audience laughing loudly)
(dramatic music)
- First rule of being a pygmy goat.
It doesn't matter if you're too short
to see what's going on,
just jump up on somebody else for a better vantage point.
Hey, I can see my house from up here.
(audience laughing)
(dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
(pig grunting)
- Yeah, people think that life on the farm
is quiet and peaceful and everybody's happy.
Well, I've got a monkey on my back
like you would not believe.
And whatever I do, I just can't seem to shake it.
Somebody please help a troubled farm animal in need, me.
(pig grunting)
(upbeat music)
(videographer laughing)
(snappy music)
- The day all sheepdogs always dreaded has finally come.
A sheep finally figured out he is twice as big
and three times as bad as any dog.
So now who's hurting who?
Take that Spotty.
Yeah, once this gets out,
I'm afraid a whole lot of sheepdogs
are gonna be looking for a job.
(upbeat music)
- What am I seeing here?
Is it the world's largest Jack Russell terrier
or the smallest horse?
And did that dog grow fingers or how was he holding on?
If I was riding him, even on a saddle, with a seatbelt,
I think I'd be airborne as soon as he started jumping.
(upbeat cheery music)
(audience laughing)
- Having a childhood pet
is like growing up with a built-in friend in your house.
These early on relationships with our animals
can only be described as having friends forever.
(plucky orchestral music)
(toddler laughing)
- Smart technology has come a long way.
This high-tech child-safety drawer lock is really amazing.
(toddler laughing)
(slow piano music)
(upbeat music)
(child laughing and giggling)
- Now, this is something every parent
finds out to their dismay.
You can spend hundreds of dollars on an expensive gift.
And what do the kids play with most?
The box it came in.
(child giggling)
(audience laughing)
- Now, this is definitely a lapdog, but for a few years,
I guess just under the arm will do just fine.
(cheery snappy music)
(audience laughing)
- Are you giving Lucy a hug Lela?
You giving Lucy a big hug?
Is she your special buddy?
Aw, so sweet.
(toddler speaking)
Someday this little baby is gonna be all grown up,
but her best friend is still gonna be twice her size.
(finalizing piano notes)
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- The newest Lazyboy recliner is here,
super soft and comfy, and it's heated.
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- Now it's time for the clips
that I personally picked out as my favorites.
Oh, no, that guy has a camera.
Is he still there?
Yep, he's still there.
How about now?
Yep, this happens to me every groundhog day.
Hey buddy, get a clue.
I'm a squirrel, not a groundhog.
(upbeat music)
Even when they're very young,
cats already have the amazing ability
to walk on precarious surfaces and never fall.
Well, most of them do.
This one is a slow learner.
(fast-moving music)
The dog is thinking,
this guy really needs to learn how to throw.
His accuracy is terrible.
Good thing that wall is there.
Otherwise, I would be chasing this ball
all over the neighborhood.
Stick around, we have some pets
who are about to make their great escape.
Coming up next is Jailbreak on "World's Funniest Animals."
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals."
I can't wait to show you this next segment.
Most animals have it made,
free food, free rent, unconditional love.
But that doesn't always stop them from believing
the grass is greener on the other side.
Which can sometimes turn into a jailbreak.
(dramatic adventure music)
- All right, let's make a break for it.
As long as we get back in bed before everybody wakes up,
no one will know.
And remember what goes on in Chickenville,
stays in Chickenville.
(dramatic adventure music)
(audience laughing)
- Bwak, when they come in here,
they'll think they forgot to lock me up again, bwak!
(chuckling) I love messing with human minds.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat bongo music)
(audience laughing)
- Remember what mom doesn't know won't hurt her.
(dramatic adventure music)
(audience laughing)
- This is so easy, it's almost insulting.
A gate might fool a baby, but this dog, no way.
(finalizing trumpet music)
- All right Sophie, let's get in your pillow.
Good girl.
Butch you leave Sophie alone.
(upbeat music)
- Come on, Whitey, I'm busting you out here tonight.
No matter what just run and don't look back.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat bass music)
- This is the moment you realize
instead of wasting $500 on something
that looks nice in your apartment,
you should have bought something
that would actually work for your tiny dog.
- The old phrase, monkey see monkey do
can actually apply to most animals.
In fact, if you spent enough time with them,
our pets wind up being just like us.
(upbeat bass music)
(audience laughing)
- This is where the dog finally shows us
how to do downward dog correctly.
I never knew.
- [Videographer] Oh, gee.
(audience laughing)
(plucky orchestral music)
(audience laughing)
- This is the newest Roomba.
This model has the added home security option included.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat tropical music)
- I really appreciate it
when a store has a knowledgeable staff.
I mean this guy can answer anything about dogs
you wanna know.
He does have to defer to another employee
when it comes to lizard questions, though.
(audience laughing)
- Come on boy, good boy.
- Remember, when the going gets tough, the tough go fishin'.
(sizzling rhythmic music)
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- Remember, sit up straight at the table
and take small bites.
Always observe proper dining etiquette
even if you're dining alone.
(upbeat rhythmic music)
(audience laughing)
- All right Private, on your belly.
Keep your head down.
You're not in your mama's warm house anymore.
This is the Army, one, two, one, two, come on.
(audience laughing)
- [Elizabeth] We all know the best gifts
come in small packages.
Mighty Mini, up next on "World's Funniest Animals"
(upbeat music)
You're watching "World's Funniest Animals."
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton.
In this next segment, we find out
if those small dogs with the big bark can back it up.
Here's Mighty Mini.
- [Narrator] Hi, buddy, oh, hello.
Are you gonna stamp at me?
You're stamping at me.
You're so cute.
Look at you all defensive.
- Hey, buddy, so listen,
I'm not some Pepé Le Pew cartoon.
I'm a real skunk, so gimme some respect.
I may be small, but I can whip around in an instant, pow!
They won't let you back into your house for a week.
- [Narrator] Yeah, you're so cute, look at your old nails.
They're so sharp.
You're really scary.
One day you're gonna be way cool.
- Oh let's get ready to rumble!
Welcome to the WCWF World Cat Wrestling Federation.
Tonight we've got Two Ton Tommy against Tabby The Terrible,
and what a battle it is.
It's no holds bared, biting, scratching, all allowed.
Anything goes, anything can happen.
(dramatic adventure music)
(audience laughing)
- It is a micro pig on a mega challenge.
Can he do it?
Can he get to the top?
There he goes.
Can he be king of the hill?
He made it, woo hoo!
(audience laughing)
(dramatic tympani drum roll)
(little dog yapping)
(audience laughing)
- Okay, so this is an Australian Cattle Dog.
So he knows the history.
He's thinking, everybody says the Tasmanian Devil is extinct
but this has gotta be one of them.
'Cause how could something so small be so mean?
He's got way too much food in there for himself.
Surely he could just spare a little bit for me, please.
(little dog yapping)
(audience laughing)
(plucky orchestral music)
(cheery carnival-like music)
(audience laughing)
- Okay, what we're seeing here
is a real contradiction in weights and measures.
We've got a quarter horse being walked by a half pint.
Go figure, right?
(audience laughing)
(cheery carnival-like music)
- If our pets had it their way,
they would get constant attention.
And while Hank and Ruby definitely do,
I bring them to work with me every day.
But no matter how much time we spend with our pets
they still have one constant request, play with me.
(rhythmic repeating music)
(audience laughing)
- Ooh, is this out of the newest Halloween movie?
Now I'm not superstitious.
Okay, I am a little stitious,
but this is a tiny cute puppy with two scary black cats.
I do not wanna see how this ends.
That's double the bad luck.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat keyboard music)
(audience laughing)
- It's the newest exercise fad, for dogs.
It's hula dog.
Forget those long walks every day.
You could keep your dog in tiptop shape
without ever having to leave the house.
(audience laughing)
(snappy cheery music)
(audience laughing)
- Now this new brand of laptop
has taken the bird on the screen logo to another level.
This one actually comes with a live parrot.
And best of all, just wave your hand and it tap dances.
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- Stick around, we have even more hilarious videos
coming up next.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals."
Sometimes our pets are too inquisitive for their own good.
This leads to some of the best clips
for our fan favorite segment, Curious Pets.
(dramatic music)
- They told me that every computer has to have a mouse.
So if I could just get my paw in there,
I'm sure I could grab it. (gasping)
(gentle vibraphone music)
- Okay, here they are in lockdown, behind bars,
and apparently some heartless corrections officer
is harassing them.
Come on, that's no way to treat the inmates.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
This is the cat version of a VR headset,
and it just doesn't end up well.
(audience laughing)
(dog yapping)
- Finally, if humans can't save the planet,
maybe animals can.
These new eco dogs are genetically programmed
to bark at one of the planet's biggest polluters,
plastic bottles, until people will stop using them.
(dog yapping)
(audience laughing)
- Another sad example of what can happen
when airline pilots torment animals with their laser beams.
- Sometimes our pets, despite how patient they truly are,
have had enough of us, or their siblings.
And if they could talk, they'd probably say,
"You can't make me."
(upbeat music)
- So this chicken's thinking,
finally, I have had enough.
All I ever do is walk around scratching and pecking for bugs
in the dirt and laying eggs.
I wanna be a dog.
They have it so good.
Just running around, playing with toys.
Not a care in the world.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Whatcha doing, Murph?
Did you steal Papa's hammer?
Okay, so this is Sunday,
you know the day we're supposed to be going for a long walk
and playing with the ball.
And if you won't stop working,
I'll just have to take matters into my own mouth.
When a dog says it's time to take a break, just listen.
(audience laughing)
- [Pet Owner] Davidson, that is your brother's.
I'm sorry, Harley.
I'm sorry, baby.
- Now this is something you don't see every day.
Two raccoons on somebody's bed,
wrestling over a stuffed toy that's bigger than they are.
But that's not the weirdest part.
The bed looks like it's straight outta the 1800s.
Is this some kind of freaky museum?
(upbeat cheery music)
(audience laughing)
- I'm just not sure exactly what the goal is here.
Are they trying to clean up the yard
or break this down into usable firewood?
Either way, we got some great teamwork going on right there.
(upbeat rhythmic music)
- 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 keep away canines, playful parrots,
drill sergeant dogs, stubborn sheep, protective pups,
sassy skunks, and a quarter horse being walked
by a half pint pooch.
(fast-paced racing music)
- Thanks so much to our great panel
and thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton.
We'll see you next time on "World's Funniest Animals."
(toddler laughing)
(audience laughing)
- [Pet Owner] Good Boy.
(upbeat driving music)
(audience laughing)
(finalizing jazzy music)
