- [Elizabeth] You don't wanna miss this.
We have pampered pooches, hungry hamsters, mocking monkeys,
circling squirrels, ogling otters, and
a rotating retriever.
All this today and much more 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 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.
Let's start off with a fan favorite, where we take a look
at the most adorable clips we could find
in our segment just too cute.
(upbeat music)
- [Carmen] You know what?
These guys are old enough.
They otter know the drill.
Okay, being impatient will not get
the dinner there any faster.
At six o'clock, dinner will be on the table.
That's what it's always been
and that's what it will be today.
- [Devon] Yes, you can learn anything from YouTube videos
even the art of hypnosis.
(light cheerful music)
I don't know if I'm ready to trust
the brain surgery one, though.
Oh, why not?
What can go wrong?
- [Daniel] The red panda originated
in the eastern Himalayas in southwestern China.
The pumpkin, however, originated
over 6,000 miles away in North America.
That explains why he has no idea how to open it.
Is there a zipper or a secret door on this thing?
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
- [Carmen] It may look like this kitty is trying
to be friends but he can smell that this guy knows
where there's an unlimited supply of milk.
And he's just waiting around to follow
right behind him when it's dinner time.
I could tell.
- [Devon] This is why I love winter.
This is why I hate winter.
Somebody get the hairdryer, please.
(upbeat music)
- Wow, these people have no kids
so they dress up their pet monkey like one.
Well, at least they know he'll never turn
into a parent's worst nightmare,
a big lazy ape who plays video games
all day and won't even take out the garbage.
- There are a few things as cute as a pet being
on their best behavior, just waiting for a treat
or some attention, which is exactly what we'll be taking
a look at in our next segment anticipating animals.
(upbeat music)
- [Carmen] All right, someone's gotta ask this, okay?
Is the kid ever gonna eat the apple
or just keep teasing the poor dog?
Share, sharing is caring.
Just give him a slice, poor guy.
(upbeat techno music)
(audience laughing)
- Oh yeah, I feel the same way when I call in and order
and 45 minutes later I'm there to pick it up
and it's still not ready.
Come on, I'm parked in a red zone out there.
I need my food now.
(upbeat techno music) (audience laughing)
- [Owner] Come here.
It's time for breakfast, girl.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- [Devon] When you have a pet like this,
you wanna be extra careful to keep him happy.
- [Owner] Boy, I was gonna give it to you anyway.
- You don't want him to turn around and get upset at you.
(dog barking)
- [Carmen] Yep, I was the exact same when I was a kid.
I would hear it when it was still way down the street
before anyone else that song.
(Carmen humming ice cream truck melody)
And I'd run out and finally, there it is.
Only I forgot one thing.
The money, thanks, mom.
(light music)
(upbeat music)
- [Devon] Training day, working hard on the rabbit punch.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Daniel] There are many paths you can choose in life.
Your choice might not be the easiest.
But if your heart tells you it's the right way for you,
pay no heed to anyone who says,
"Hey, the other door was open.
Why didn't you just go out that one?"
- I'm not about to let our panel have all the fun.
So here are some of my favorite clips.
(upbeat music)
All dogs are happy when it's walkie time
but this one has a grin from ear to ear.
(toy thudding) (upbeat music)
First timers from the mainland are easy
to spot when in Hawaii.
They've got the typical shirts on
and their eyes are bugging out of how beautiful it is.
Don't you hate it when the gardener misunderstands stop?
Those are not weeds.
I planted those there.
Don't trim them.
Oh, I give up.
Coming up, we're taking a trip
to see what our friends are doing down on the farm,
next on "World's Funniest Animals".
(logo whooshing) (upbeat music)
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals".
We all know what's happening in our own backyards
but what about the hilarious antics we're missing out on
from our furry friends down on the farm?
(upbeat country music)
(roosters crowing)
- [Daniel] It is true when it's time
to join the marching band.
Nobody wants to play the flute or the clarinet.
They all wanna play the drums.
Yeah, drums may seem easy.
But you find out pretty soon maybe everybody can play them,
but not everybody can play them well.
(light country music)
- [Devon] You know that old adage
the grass is always greener?
Well, apparently it holds true for hay too.
Yeah, makes sense. (audience laughing)
(goat bleating)
- [Man] What, what? (goat bleating)
(Man mimicking goat bleating)
What, what? (light country music)
(goat bleating)
What, what? (goat bleating)
What? (goat bleating)
What, what? (goat bleating)
- [Carmen] I know the saying you have
to sing for your supper but this goat is
obviously suffering from extreme hunger.
It's not saying what, it's saying, what's wrong with you?
I'm starving.
Please feed this poor animal.
What you're doing is just plain bad.
(melodious guitar music)
- [Devon] Huh, and I always thought that the wolf
in sheep's clothing thing was
just an old saying or a fairytale.
Nope, turns out it's real.
(upbeat music)
- [Daniel] It's freaking freezing out here.
And you know what's the worst part?
My big horse nose.
It's frozen.
Come on, cat.
Stop teasing me.
Just climb on and be my nose warmer.
- [Devon] The most important part of your body
to protect is your head where your brain is.
We have helmets for motorcycles, bike riding, skiing.
And now of course, grazing in the pasture
where all kinds of things can fall on you.
Tree branches, various fruit, even your stray asteroid.
So why is this guy not understanding that?
Let the poor animal be safe.
Hey, it's a no-brainer.
You get it?
- We all have those preconceived notions
that some animals just don't get along well.
This segment is here to challenge
all of that with opposites attract.
(monkeys squeaking) (light music)
- [Devon] Come on guys, you know better than that.
It's always only one at a time on a ladder.
Sure, it's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt.
(upbeat techno music)
- [Carmen] Unfortunately, cats are well known
for treating birds very badly,
usually with cat-astrophic results for the bird.
But with a face like that, this cat is desperate
for anyone who's willing to be his friend.
I don't care if you're a bird.
Can you please just be my friend?
(upbeat techno music)
- [Daniel] Don't have time or energy to exercise your dog?
Well, now you can just use the Roto Squirrel K9 companion.
Keep your dog in tiptop shape with zero effort on your part.
And after a couple hours of this every day,
he'll sleep like a baby.
(upbeat music)
- [Devon] Wow, this is quite an unfair match.
It's not even a tag team.
The fox and skunk have obviously made a pact
to go after the poor dog until finally,
"Mom, Renard and Stinky are ganging up on me."
- [Elizabeth] We're gearing up
for a favorite of all our pets.
It's toy time.
Next on "World's Funniest Animals".
(logo whooshing) (audience laughing)
(logo whooshing) (upbeat music)
You are watching "World's Funniest Animals"
and I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton.
And this next segment dives into our pets
and their favorite part of the day
or maybe second favorite after dinner.
It's toy time.
(upbeat music)
- [Daniel] Hey, you looking at me?
Oh no, you don't ever do that.
Or I'll have to show you who's
the baddest reptile around here.
Hey, hey, hey, I'm not telling you again.
(lizard's nails tapping)
There, you'll be showing some proper respect next time.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
- This weird looking mouse is really fast
but, you know, he seems to be following
a very predictable route.
This is gonna be his last mistake.
(upbeat music) Got him, yeah.
- [Devon] We can all learn life lessons from a pig.
When you're throwing a curve ball,
then just have fun with it.
And what goes around comes around.
Yes, be like the pig 'cause no matter what
smelly mess the world dumps them in
they always come up smelling like well a pig.
Okay, forget that last one
but the other ones are good advice.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Daniel] Oh, now that was not very nice.
Apparently, somebody here thought it would be cute
to switch the family dog for a fake one.
The pig, to his credit, is trying to revive him.
Sorry, little fella.
Doesn't matter how much pig CPR you give them,
this one's not coming back to life.
- Sometimes us pet owners can get caught up
with work or hobbies and our pets like to remind us
they need attention too.
Then they'll tell you in no uncertain terms,
stop what you're doing.
(romantic instrumental music)
- [Devon] It seems like the cat's
just trying to get some attention here.
But from what I'm seeing I think he's trying
to give some advice to the owner.
It's like he's saying, "Hey, you need to get a life.
Sure, I've got nine of them laying around
but you don't even have one.
Go out and try to make some friends."
- [Devon] I've been working on this a thousand piece puzzle
for three days straight in my bathrobe.
Now I'm down to the last 10 pieces.
Okay, here I go.
(puzzle crashing)
Ah, well, I guess cat happens.
Can't even get mad at the cat.
They don't understand.
(upbeat music)
- [Daniel] Sometimes animals have a sixth sense.
If I were this guy, I'd reconsider my relationship
with the girl on the other end of that conversation.
Hey, stop it. (girl giggling)
(upbeat music)
- [Daniel] Clearly, the dog knows something you don't.
Listen to him.
Otherwise, it's gonna be 25 years
of no football going and to chick flicks.
- [Carmen] Sorry, mom.
I think there's some confusion here.
You've got it all wrong.
This isn't your arm rest.
This is my face rest, my chin rest, okay?
So now that we finally got that straight,
you can, yeah, sure, you can go back to work.
I'm good, now.
(upbeat music)
- [Devon] You know there's always that one guy
at the gym who seems to always be just socializing
and playing around and never does much real exercising.
Well, in 20 years, you know who's probably the happiest?
He never took anything too seriously
and has all the friends.
Yep, that guy.
- [Elizabeth] We have even more
hilarious videos coming up with simply silly,
next on "World's Funniest Animals".
(logo whooshing) (audience laughing)
(logo whooshing) (upbeat music)
- Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals".
All of our pets have their own unique personalities
and traits but they have one thing in common.
Every so often they do something that is simply silly.
(upbeat music) (dog gulping water)
- [Devon] This is a dog with no friends.
If he had any, they would be constantly making fun
of his ridiculous way of drinking water.
I can only hope he gets the help he needs.
(upbeat music)
- [Daniel] Here at the dojo students start
by practicing their moves in slow motion.
Then once they have become masters of their own bodies,
they are ready to move on to high speed combat.
Their strikes will become as swift as a cobra,
leaving their opponents in a state
of perplexed enlightenment.
(upbeat music)
- [Carmen] At first, I did not know what was going on here
but now I see the owner is taking an online quiz.
And she's using AI, Avian Intelligence,
to fill out the answers.
That's cheating.
She should be very ashamed of herself.
(upbeat music)
- [Devon] Now, you might think, wow, this woman is
really good to be able to concentrate on her art
while the cat is pushing the canvas around.
But on the other hand, she's using a brush
big enough to paint a house with.
Somehow, I don't think we're seeing the next Picasso here.
I'm just saying. (audience laughing)
- [Carmen] Now this is skiing on a budget.
No $200 lift tickets or $1,000 dollars worth
of gear and clothes, just fun for free.
You do have to walk up the hill every time, though.
That's the only downside. (audience laughing)
- Our pets all deserve to be spoiled from time to time
whether it's that super long walk or extra treat.
But these owners are going a step further in pampered pets.
(upbeat music)
- [Carmen] Ah, feel the gentle touch of my hands
as they channel the flow of your chi energy,
harmonizing your aura and balancing those chakras.
Picture yourself floating on a cloud
of lavender-scented serenity
while the universe whispers sweet cosmic secrets
into your rejuvenated soul.
Namaste, my cosmic canine.
Namaste, stay.
- [Devon] Why do I look so confused?
I just can't wrap my head around the fact
that she's gonna pay $150 bucks for this 5 minute haircut.
It's outrageous.
- [Carmen] Now, that is one lucky duck.
He is getting a full-blown spa treatment
from head to webbed toe and the best part is when they take
those cucumbers off his eyes, he gets to eat them.
This is living.
(upbeat music)
- [Devon] This is a window
into the lives of that special 1%,
that 1% of all rodents that have so much money
they can do whatever they want.
Life is good.
But don't you think they miss doing
something meaningful with their lives?
Nope, not a bit.
- [Groomer] This is my friend Toby, who hates the blow dryer
but also will take a nap during the groom.
This is either the third or fourth time
that I've groomed Toby.
And I'm actually extremely happy for the amount
of progress that we went through.
When Toby first came in,
I'm trying to say this in the nicest way possible,
he kind of acted like a toddler would.
Previously, anytime literally anything caught
his eye he would do like three triple back flips
in order to see what was going on.
Also here, he licked the inside of my mouth.
And I so luckily got a taste of the food
that he had before he came here.
And this might be just a little bit of a TMI,
but it kind of tasted like there was
maybe a hint of beef in there.
- [Daniel] Ugh, the dog licked the inside of his mouth,
this might be a bit of TMI he says?
Ugh, yeah, stands for terrible mouth infection.
I think I'd be telling his owners
their little Toby is taking way
too many inappropriate liberties.
(upbeat 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 a bovine buddy, sloppy sidekicks,
and infuriating feline, a lucky duck, a very comfy cat,
a monkey dressed up like a man, and two canoodling cats.
(upbeat techno 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".
