- Make sure the presents are under the tree.
The stockings are up and the cookies are nearby
because it's Christmas.
We have destructive dogs, crazy cats,
clever chihuahuas, prancing pomeranians, a mean moose
and a golden retriever
who wrote their very own wishlist to Santa.
All this and more on our Christmas special
of the World's Funniest Animals.
Welcome to World's Funniest Animals
'Tis the season for giving,
and we have an amazing gift for you
with our Christmas special.
I'm your host Elizabeth Stanton.
And we are joined by my little helpers, Hank and Ruby,
as well as all of our panelists this episode.
Happy to have the whole
World's Funniest Animals family together
for the holidays.
And finally, we have our special guest Kayla Compton.
Hey, Kayla.
- Hi Liz, happy to be here.
- Great to have you join us for the holidays.
This is my absolute favorite time of the year.
The decorating, the cooking, the movies,
and of course more time at home with our families
and our pets.
Seems like everyone is getting into our next segment,
holiday spirit,
starting with commentary from actress Carmen Hodgson.
- Hey Lizzie, happy holidays.
- Aww, thanks Carmen, same to you.
Wait, I just realized it's almost Christmas.
I haven't set up any stockings or cookies for Santa.
- Oh no.
What do we do?
- Actually I think I know exactly who can help
and just in the nick of time.
(holiday music)
My dogs don't never helped decorate,
but I can count on them to eat Santa's cookies for sure.
Next up, we have comedian Neel Ghosh.
- Hey, what's up Liz?
- Have you done your Christmas shopping?
- I did and I got it done early
and I bought presents for everybody, even you.
- Oh these next guys are running late
and doing some last minute shopping.
- Yeah, attention all shoppers. We have
a couple of goats that have gotten loose in the store.
I'm not kidding folks. (LAUGHS)
- Now we're joined by singer and comedian, Mikalah Gordon.
- Hey Liz.
- What's your favorite thing about this time of year?
- Oh I just love time with my niece and nephew.
Also all the paid gigs.
Oh, and the presents.
- This next pup is definitely in the holiday spirit
after this gift.
- [Dog Owner] Here you go.
Go dunk it.
Go go go go go go go.
Dunk it, dunk it, dunk it, dunk it.
Yay, good job.
Good job, go get the ball.
Ian one more time.
Again again again again.
Go boy, go go go go.
Okay spin, good boy, yes dunk it!
Yay, good job!
- Not sure what's more impressive.
The outfit or the 360 dunk.
It's a toss up.
- Finally for this segment we have
singer and songwriter, Brandon Rogers.
- Liz, happy to be here.
- One of my favorite things about Christmas
is the lights and this little guy has to agree.
- Save the gas people, just get this cat a television.
- Okay there's like 12 dogs there.
One for every day of Christmas.
That's my dream.
- So is this going to be like a first come first serve basis
or are these presents labeled.
- That costume is pawfect.
Wait, he even wrote a list for Santa
and they were dog treats.
This is the cutest most goodest dog ever, I love you.
(goat bahhhing)
- This little guy loves Christmas
and is going to scream it from the rooftops
or whatever they are standing on over there,
is that a play set?
- Wow, I thought my house had a lot of decorations.
This hamster is literally living
in a Christmas art installation.
- This Santa is great and all, but to be honest,
the presents he gives are kind of small.
Last year, I got a thimble, a thimble.
(duck honks)
- Where does one buy a sweater for duck?
(duck honks)
- I dunno where you buy them,
but I can tell you that they are rocking them.
(holiday music)
- He is the goat of Christmas music.
Step aside, Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé.
- I like how the cows are like,
listen, Santa,
we've been supplying milk for your cookies for years.
You owe us 1%.
- Impeccable form.
Clearly he is classically trained.
- Every year we have to dress up in these silly outfits,
take these silly pictures.
Just let me open my presents.
- Even more hilarious holiday theme pet videos coming up
This special is just the gift
that keeps on giving.
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals Christmas special.
There's nothing better than waking up around the holidays,
looking outside and seeing your whole neighborhood covered
in snow.
At least so I've been told growing up
in Southern California.
I can't say that's ever happened to me.
Which makes me even more jealous
of the pets in our next segment.
Let it snow.
Starting with commentary from writer and actor,
Noah Matthews.
- Hey Liz.
- I've been talking about presents this whole special,
and I have the perfect clip just for you.
- This has to be my long lost pet or my spirit animal.
This dog is just like me.
- Now we're joined by director and actress,
Maiara Walsh.
- Liz, how's it going.
- Great, but I think this dog has me beat.
- [Dog Owner] Oh you are something else.
- [Dog Owner] Are you just so happy in snow again?
- This guy had to have been a Husky in a previous life.
He loves the snow.
And finally we have standup comedian, Ryan Cooper.
- Hey, Liz saving the best for last, right?
- Definitely one of the best clips, check this out.
- Wow.
I need to step my game up.
I got to get my dog more gifts for Christmas.
This owner is setting the bar pretty high.
- My family has the same tradition,
ugly Christmas sweaters and going sledding.
- Look at all that snow.
Where do they live, Narnia?
I just realized all ski clothes just look
like how people normally dressed in the nineties.
- [Dog Owner] Are you having fun?
- I'm glad he's having fun,
but I would rather be inside with a glass of hot cocoa.
- I have the same outfit at home.
I should've worn it.
- What did we ever do to deserve dogs?
They are so precious.
You should see how he helps rakes leaves in the fall.
- Wait, come back,
- I don't want to go back to walking after being so spoiled.
When have you ever seen a dog not shake themselves off?
This dog is consciously making a mess.
The smart ones are in the back,
letting everyone else carve a path out for them.
- [Dog Owner] You want the ball, you want the ball?
Catch, go get it.
Where is it?
- And this is why he has trust issues.
Let's check in with our special guests,
you may know from the flash on the CW.
We have Kayla Compton.
Hey Kayla.
- Hi Liz, thanks for having us.
- Who do we have here?
- This is my dog Rooster.
- Oh, she's adorable.
How long have you had Rooster?
- We actually rescued Rooster
from the Labelle foundation in Los Angeles.
We got him in February of 2020 for my husband and me.
You know, he's our little emotional support animal
and he's helped us get through some really hard times.
And he does have some BFF's
that he gets to play with on a regular basis.
So that's been really great.
- What are some of you and Rooster's
favorite things to do during the holidays?
- Usually around the holidays
Rooster and I will visit either my family
or my husband's family.
When we go to my husband's family's house,
They are in Kelowna in British Columbia
and Roo also loves the snow.
He loves the snow so much.
- That's awesome.
On the other hand, Hank, Ruby and I
just love watching Christmas movies curled up
on the couch.
Our favorite is Elf, right guys.
We'll check back in with you in a little bit.
Thanks Kayla and Rooster.
Even more hilarious holiday theme
pet videos coming up.
This special is just the gift that keeps on giving.
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals Christmas special.
Our pets are part of the family.
So it's only right they get gifts come the holiday season
like everyone else.
Let's take a closer look at our segment.
The gift that keeps on giving.
- Oh, look at him.
He's so pleased with the mess he's made.
Oh and I guess his new presents.
I tried this with my boyfriend.
He didn't really like it
I wish my siblings liked me as much.
- Normally we make our own lists for our pets
so Santa can get them all the right toys and treats
their heart's desire
While the stakes pet took it upon themselves
to write their very own Christmas list.
(scribbling)
- Of course he got what he asked for.
He is definitely on the nice list.
- [Dog Owner] What is it?
- Okay, so who's cleaning this all up?
This is about as uncomfortable as I look
taking family photos during the holidays.
(dog whining)
I feel like this is a last minute gift,
but the dog doesn't seem to mind.
- [Dog Owner] Did you get it out?
Almost.
It's a new sweater.
Don't eat it, Basco, put it down.
- Okay, quick note to parents.
Kids don't like getting clothes for Christmas,
too practical.
They want toys and treats and pets are the same.
- Now Hank and Ruby are my little angels.
But growing up, they both have their moments.
I won't say any didn't get presents,
but there might've been a couple of years they wound up on
the naughty list.
- [Dog Owner] Did you snack on this?
Did you snack on this?
Loki.
- You make an ornament look like a cookie and it gets eaten.
That's on you.
- [Dog Owner] Did you open this?
Did you open this?
You were supposed to wait for Christmas.
Why are you opening your toy?
No, bubba.
- Time is different for dogs. It's been
like six dog Christmases since his last present.
And just assumed you guys were giving him a late present.
- Garland ribbons, ornaments, lights,
nothing is safe from the household cat
come Christmas time.
This next cat does not want to share their presents.
Next year, they will definitely be on the naughty list.
(cat hiss)
- Hang on. You told me if I wore this hat,
you'd give me whatever I asked for.
You can't go back on your deal now.
- At first I couldn't tell if they were decorating
or destroying the decorations.
(barking)
- [Pet Owner] No!
- Can you really act surprised if you're filming.
I mean, what did you think was going to happen?
You know, he's the problem child.
They didn't even try to dress him up.
- He's like, excuse me, can I help you?
We're jumping right back into the holiday spirit
right after this on World's Funniest Animals.
Happy holidays, you're walking worlds funniest animals.
Some of our pets aren't as fond of the holidays as others.
In fact, these next pets
don't seem to really have much Christmas cheer.
- This is how my parents would look at me
if I opened the present before reading the card.
- You can tell they are so over the holidays.
- You can make me wear this costume mom,
but you can't make me play the part.
- It can't be that easy walking sideways with four legs.
He literally has two left feet.
- It must be this cat's first Christmas
because they don't know what to make of this Christmas tree.
- Okay hear me out, my best guess is that the cat was
asleep when they put the tree in.
Now he's wondering why the outside is inside.
- Just wait until you have to wear the funny 2022 glasses
on new years bud.
But hey, then you're safe until Easter.
- Whoa whoa, how Santa is supposed to fill up your
stocking if you keep ripping it down.
(cat meow)
- That's actually cat for get me off this thing.
- So this is where Santa's reindeer go on vacation.
Nice spot.
- Winter is in full effect
and that means our pets have a whole.
New reason to beg us to go outside.
Playing in the snow.
These next furry friends,
absolutely love winter time and are barking all year asking
for us snowy white Christmas.
- I'm not sure what's funnier, the dog or the owners laugh.
- And that slow unmotivated walk-up
is why they invented ski lifts.
I tried this one time, half my leg turned blue, not fun.
You'd be running around in a hurry to
if Santa was telling you he had deliveries to make.
- With a little more training the doberman
in this next clip may be able to shovel the entire driveway
for their owners.
- [Dog Owner] You are nuts, you are nuts.
- That's a pretty easy Christmas gift for this dog.
Just head down to the hardware store.
They're a dime a dozen.
- So that's who cleans the power lines during the winter.
- They should take turns being in the front.
That's not fair to leave it all up to the little guy.
- Imagine trying to do this yourself
and there's like six feet of snow around you.
That dog is brave.
- Listen buddy, you get a clean snow free deck
for like 10 months out of the year.
- This is my time.
- Now it's time to meet back up with our special guest,
Kayla Compton.
Now Kayla I hear you actually worked very close
with animals before you started acting.
- Actually before I became an actress,
I was a dog walker for a few years,
which was an incredible job.
I definitely spent more time with dogs than I did humans
at that point in my life.
But it was great
because I got to learn about all the different breeds.
This was before we had Rooster
and I felt like it prepared me for getting my own dog.
- Pets are a lot of responsibility.
Seems like you definitely prepared
taking care of all of those dogs.
I'm sure you picked up some training tips as well.
Any tricks Roo can show us.
- So Rooster can do all the basic tricks.
Which is super great.
He is already learned sit.
What about up?
Good job.
What about Hey,
(tongue clicking noise)
About shake.
Shake.
Yes, good job.
This is a bit of a special one.
Let's see if he can do it.
High five.
Yes, good job. There we go.
- After all that hard work Roo deserves a treat.
Thanks for joining us Kayla
and for introducing us to Rooster.
- Bye Liz, bye everyone.
Thanks for having us.
- Someone has to sit in the corner
because they made the naughty list.
Isn't that right Ruby.
Even more holiday theme pet videos
with the gift that keeps on giving next
on World's Funniest Animals.
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals Christmas special.
Our pets are with us on our good days, on our bad days,
and with us all through the holidays.
They're our best friends.
And with us through thick and thin.
When you have a pet every day feels like Christmas.
- I have nothing funny to say,
this is just the cutest thing in the world.
- Cats have their own set of rules when it comes to gravity,
it just doesn't make sense.
- He's part kangaroo.
This is the only way he knows walk.
- This next video features and infectious laugh.
You know, the kind that fills up a room
and gets everyone else laughing.
I dare you to try not to laugh along.
(laughing)
- This baby is laughing like they just explained
their plot for world domination.
- You see how cold it is outside.
That dog will take the warmth wherever he can get it.
- This is adorable.
How do I make this my screensaver?
- What can he say, some people just look good in hats,
and he knows he's one of them.
- When the snow is as high as you are tall,
hopping is the only way to go.
- This video is gold standard in cute.
Get it because their golden, forget it.
- We're jumping right back into the holiday spirit
right after this on World's Funniest Animals.
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals Christmas special.
We can spend hours decorating our home for Christmas,
but whether it's a dog or a cat,
sometimes we find all our hard work
being taken down by our furry friends.
Here's Christmas chaos.
- Cat owners have a real tough time around Christmas.
Cats love to tipping everything over.
- This is the trailer for paranormal cativity.
- No, not the TV.
- How are we going to watch needs World's Funniest Animals?
I think what we learned from the special
is there is a growing market for a specialized weight
to keep Christmas trees secure.
- Not all of our pets get to make the nice list.
Santa doesn't even need to check his list twice
for these next pets.
Here's coal in your stocking
- [Dog Owner] In all seriousness,
what is your issue with the Christmas tree?
What's your issue, tell me.
(barking)
Okay.
Is it because the cat likes to lie under the Christmas tree?
(barking)
And do you feel you're entitled to lie under there too?
(barking)
So what if the cat is a gift from Santa.
(growling)
You don't know.
What if Santa brought you a kitty to play with.
And that's your new kitty?
How do you feel about that?
Tell me how you feel.
(howling)
You're not sure, is that what you're trying to say
You really don't like that Christmas tree.
Tell me.
(growling)
- Okay, this dog a hundred percent speaks English.
That was wild.
- This next clip shows a wild moose
who might've been rejected by the north pole.
That's the only explanation I can think of.
- I don't know about you, but I would rather the moose
takes out his holiday aggression
on the inflatable decoration then my car
That cat was just jealous
because they could never achieve that level of happiness.
- [Pet Owner] Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Mike!
Mida!
Who did it?
Bad girls.
- Wait they both got blamed, who did it?
- We can't end it on a cliffhanger, I have to know.
Well that's almost it for us,
but in case missed anything along the way,
here's a quick recap of all of our funniest moments.
We had silly St. Bernard's, cantankerous cats,
dumbfounded dogs, lazy labs, jittery jack russell's,
a pomeranian in a pouch, a bewildered bengal cat,
and a momma golden retriever spending Christmas
with all of her pups.
Woo.
Thanks so much to our panel and to our special guest,
Kayla Compton.
- Bye Liz, bye everyone.
Thank for having us.
- Bye Kayla, bye Roo.
And thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton.
Happy holidays and have an amazing New Year.
We'll see you next time on World's Funniest Animals.
