(upbeat music)
- [Elizabeth] Grab your candy bowl and your broom stick.
And try to keep up on this Hallowed Eve.
(doorbell ringing)
We have haunting horses. (horses neighing)
Fearsome felines, costume canines, ghoulish goats,
and a cat who I'm convinced is a wizard.
All this and more right here
on our "World's Funniest Animals", Halloween special.
Hello, and welcome to "World's Funniest Animals".
Thanks for joining us for
our spooktacular Halloween special.
We're going to break down all the hauntingly hilarious clips
we can find.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton,
joined today by my own fairy friends, Hank and Ruby,
as well as our panelists and our special guest,
Robert England.
Hey, Liz.
Happy Halloween.
- Great to have you Robert.
Halloween is the best time of year to cozy up
and watch a few horror movies.
I'm prone to a jump scare,
and it seems like these pets in these next clips are a bit
skiddish as well.
Let's dive into our segment.
Scaredy cat, brought to you with commentary
from our first panelist, singer and comedian,
Mikalah Gordon.
- Hey, Liz, Happy Halloween.
(candy bowl screaming) (audience laughing)
(dog barking)
This is the same reaction I have when my waiter asks me
how my food is when I'm trying to have my first bite.
(audience laughing) (candy bowl screaming)
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
- Next we're joined by comedian Neel Ghosh.
- Hey Liz, how's it going?
(dog barking)
So dogs love bones, but hate this skeleton?
(audience laughing) (dog barking)
Come on, dogs.
Where do you draw the line?
Is it the jacket is the rib cage that's exposed.
I'm just trying to figure it out here. (audience laughing)
- Now we have an actor writer, Noah Matthews.
- Hey Liz, Happy Halloween.
(upbeat music)
(cat growling) (audience laughing)
I'm gonna get one of those as well, I mean,
I can't tell you how often my cat jumps in front of the TV
and this might finally be a solution.
- Finally, we have actress, Carmen Hodgson.
- Hey, Lizzie.
What's going on?
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
What we've learned from this yet again,
is that cats don't really care what's happening,
as long as they're being pet.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Dog Owner] Luke is an eager anticipation
of what is now a tradition of his mom
dressing up in something very intriguing
and ridiculous for Halloween,
but he does not know, what it's going to be for Halloween.
So we're all about to find that out.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Do you see what this economy's doing?
Millennials are refusing to have kids.
They can't afford houses.
And now they're putting on Halloween runway shows
for their pets because they have nothing better to do
with their time.
(audience laughing)
(dog barking)
(audience laughing)
(dog barking)
(suspenseful music)
(dog barking)
- There are about three seconds
where you can see this dog question,
everything in his life up until that point.
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- What in the paranormal activity is going on here?
(audience laughing)
I don't blame this dog.
If my freezer magically opened, I'd run away too.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- If he was bowling that would've
been considered a Strike.
Hey guys, tonight, join what's going on here.
Hey.
(bowling pins crashing) (audience laughing)
Where did everyone go?
- [Dog Owner] My gosh!
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- I'm not sure what's scarier.
The spider or that outfit.
(audience laughing)
Purple is just not the color for you and the hat?
A bit much no? (audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- This takes cleaning the skeletons out of your closet
to a whole new level.
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- I hate vegetables too, I don't blame you.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
Is there any science behind cats being afraid of cucumbers?
You know what, don't tell me.
I don't want to ruin the magic.
- With all that Halloween candy.
I find myself getting a little hyper.
For these next clips, the animals don't need any sugar.
They are naturally this energetic.
Here's sugar high, brought to you with commentary
from our next round of panelists.
Here's comedian Brian Cooper.
- Hey Liz.
You're not gonna show me anything too scary, right?
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
He's not attacking them.
He's just in the middle of a Zumba class.
- Next up we have actress and writer Maiara Walsh.
- Hey Liz,
I can't wait to see what we have going on tonight.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
I do the same thing before bed, if I skip the gym.
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
- Now we're joined by singer songwriter, Brandon Rogers.
- Hey Liz, what's going on?
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
I do the same thing, the second I get into my hotel room.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- This is frame-by-frame what I looked like
as a kid running to the dinner table.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- It's like they're reenacting my mom catching me,
trying to get my candy bowl from the kitchen as a kid.
(audience laughing) (water splashing)
- This is how I imagine I look like
drinking water in the middle of the night.
(water sloshing) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Here's an idea. Go trick or
treating as characters from a classic cartoon.
Come home, eat all the candy and run around for hours.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- The most impressive part
is how this big fella didn't break anything.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- This is a throwback to my first date in high school.
I never found that straw while making eye contact.
(audience laughing)
- [Horse Owner] Oh, he is ready for it!
Okay go get it!
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- I think I missed the scene in "Seabiscuit".
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
Horses are just really, really big dogs.
(hose owner laughing) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Water in a bowl. Totally acceptable.
I'll have a few sips.
Water out of a hose?
What is this witchcraft?
It must be defeated.
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
- Our celebrity guest is a Halloween icon.
Robert England from "Nightmare on Elm Street".
Robert, who do you have with you?
- This is Miss Mona, our fifth rescue doc.
Let's see I think there was a Sporty.
And then there was Kaiser and Lola and Maisie,
and now Miss Mona, yeah, yeah.
- What are some of you and your pets
favorite Halloween traditions?
Do you ever dress them up?
- In holiday's past,
we put a fake reindeer antlers on our pets,
but we don't try to compete with my fans
who liked to dress up their pets as Freddy Krueger.
- Now, typically this time of year,
the phrase is trick or treat,
but I think we do both with your pets.
What's their best trick and give them a hard earned treat.
- We shall!
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Thanks, Robert.
We'll come back to you guys in just a bit.
We have even more hilarious clips coming up next
on "World's Funniest Animals".
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals", Halloween.
I always look forward to fall.
The weather is great.
The seasonal food is amazing
and the leaves, I love seeing all the leaves
this time of year and I'm not alone.
So do our pets, let's jump right into,
feeling fall.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- I think this dog is wearing Abercrombie and fetch, get it?
(audience laughing)
I'm sorry, there's one of these every episode.
And I somehow always get stuck with him.
(upbeat music) (leaves shuffling)
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Listen to that crunch, this is what we all dream of.
They're literally living the dream.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- I'm a bit envious of this next clip.
I think we all wish we could do what this dog
is about to do.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(leaves crunching) (audience laughing)
- Who doesn't love fall?
Perfect weather, crunchy leaves.
(upbeat music)
Cannon ball!
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Prepare yourselves because this next clip
is downright adorable.
What happens when you have a cute kid,
a dog and a pile of leaves?
Let's find out.
(child laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(child laughing) (audience laughing)
- It's all fun and games
until they have to go to the vet to get those ticks removed.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(rabbit owner laughing)
- [Rabbit Owner] Well I guess we figured out
how to play with her.
- This is cute and all, but who's going to clean this up.
(audience laughing)
(leaves crunching) (dog barking)
(audience laughing) (upbeat music)
- What are those leaves, catnip?
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- We all know the phrase trick or treat,
well here at "World's Funniest Animals", we thought,
why not both?
Some pets can do amazing things
and they deserve to be rewarded.
Here's, tricks for treats.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- See this is what I'm talking about.
Put them to work.
(audience laughing)
- If one of these dogs turned up at your door,
doing tricks like this, how could you ever say no?
If I didn't have any treats,
I would just give them my dinner.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- The sad part is this looks better than the one I carved.
(audience laughing)
How many pumpkin's do you think this guy
had his set out for them to do this right?
I mean, how do you train a squirrel?
(toy music sounding) (audience laughing)
- Such soul, such passion for this craft.
He's an natural.
(toy music sounding) (audience laughing)
(treat crunching) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Okay, this dog is real show off, okay?
And kind of a bad example.
My dog saw him at the dog park,
and now she won't stop jumping over everything in the house.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- I can't even walk to the kitchen too fast in socks
or I'll slip.
This dog is going full sprint on this track.
And it's raining.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- How do you even find out that your dog can do this?
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- I feel like I'm watching a shampoo commercial for dogs.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Yay. (audience laughing)
- I get lost after this. I mean, after that what are we?
In a dance troop?
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(skateboard rolling)
(skateboard thudding) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Okay, contact this guy's owner.
This is by far the most talented dog we've had on this show.
We need to get them a plaque
or we're like a dog treat sponsor.
I dunno someone in marketing will figure it out.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- This is like those two girls in the hallway,
in "The Shinning".
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Elizabeth] We have even more
hilarious clips coming up next
on "World's Funniest Animals".
(upbeat music)
Every Halloween,
we all dress up in our favorite costumes
and roam the streets, asking people for candy.
On paper, that seems pretty strange,
but I can think of a better way to spend Halloween.
But hey, it's not just up to us to dress up.
Why not include our pets?
Halloween spirit.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- My favorite is either the chicken or the pumpkin.
It's a toss up.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- It's a video, not a photo.
No, sweetie, a video, you have to do something.
Okay, just smile, that's fine too.
- [Dog Owner] Okay, let's go, let's go, come on!
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Cat Owner] Pretty, do you like it?
Oh, you look pretty.
(audience laughing)
- I also faint after the slightest physical exertion.
- [Cat Owner] You look pretty. (audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Don't worry, their flying broomstick caught them.
They are totally fine.
- We all know that dogs are our best friends
and they have hearts of gold.
That being said German shepherds
can sometimes look a bit intimidating.
The one in this next clip takes it to a whole nother level.
(eerie music)
(audience laughing)
- Imagine if a robber broke into their house and saw Rex,
the plague mask, arm chewing German shepherd in the hallway.
(intense music) (audience laughing)
Nothing says Halloween, like being chased by your dog,
through the halls of your home,
as they carry a sickle in their mouth.
(audience laughing)
You got to love the holiday season.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- He's like one of those mini hot dogs at parties.
I'll take five, not to eat, but like to hang out with.
- [Dog Owner] Who's mommy's good boys
in their Halloween costumes. (audience laughing)
My sill pretzel, and my Frank-furter.
Good boys! (audience laughing)
- This video isn't even from Halloween,
they actually just work at the food court in the mall.
They make a killing in treats, okay?
(gentle music) (audience laughing)
- Nothing funny here, I'm sorry.
It's just the unbearable cuteness.
(audience laughing)
(gentle music) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Halloween is basically the first day of school for dogs.
All the parents want is cute pictures.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(eerie upbeat music) - Whazzup!
(audience laughing)
- Okay, was this is made specifically for squirrels?
How did this even happen?
I have questions.
(dramatic music)
(audience laughing)
- It's a bird, it's a plane.
No, it's a really anxious chihuahua in a Superman costume.
(dramatic music) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- At the end, the dogs just looking at the owner,
like, can I come inside now?
Are we done, there are goblins and witches outside.
(dramatic music) (audience laughing)
- I am not the turtle you are looking for.
(audience laughing)
- The special effects in this movie are just amazing.
And the story is also great.
Our hero finally completes his quest.
(dramatic music) (audience laughing)
- Few times have I laughed as hard as I did
when I first saw this clip,
I've never seen a cat, more confused in my life.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- We've all seen this guy in the bathroom
at a Halloween party.
That cat looks like they just discovered
they have magical powers.
Cat in a wizard hat in the bathroom sink.
Just your average weeknight, nothing to see here.
Thank you, move along, okay.
- We're back with Robert England.
I heard you have a few stories about working with animals
on the set.
Care to share?
- Every horror actor eventually has to do a killer bee movie
or a giant alligator movie or, you know,
giant snake movie or something like that.
And I've done them all, let me tell you.
And when I did my giant snake movie,
I was playing the herpetologist, the snake expert,
and they gave me a little tiny female Python.
And I got to do a lot of scenes with her and pet her,
and put her in my pocket and display her.
And I alleviated my fear of snakes on that show.
So sometimes there's a silver lining.
- Okay, after everything I've heard,
I've set these next two clips aside just for you.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- I thought my movies were scary.
But this, this is gonna haunt me.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
Is that cat auditioning for the new Adam's Family movie?
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
(audience laughing)
- I'm glad you enjoyed those clips, Robert,
we should have you on our panel full-time.
We have even more hilarious clips coming up next
on "World's Funniest Animals".
We're back with even more of the "World's Funniest Animals",
Halloween.
Halloween is a time filled with pranks and scares,
and usually it's unruly kids who take that upon themselves
to terrorize their parents.
But these next pets decided
they would join in on the action.
Let's take a look in our segment, monster bash.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Always keep your eye on the ball
or the stick in this case.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- This looks like what my sister would do to me
on my birthday, in front of my cake.
- The owner in this next clip has a very close relationship
with his dogs.
They even understand what he's saying,
whether they like it or not.
- [Dog Owner] Come here Missy, did you have a good day?
Did you have a good day?
Daddy loves you.
You have a goo day, but who tore my pants up though?
Oh, y'all don't want to talk about that.
(audience laughing) Y'all don't wanna talk about that?
- Oh, this is hilarious.
These two totally speak English.
No doubt about it.
- [Dog Owner] Hi my babies, you had a good day?
- You had a good day? Daddy loves you.
You have a good day, but who taught my pants up?
Oh, y'all don't want to talk about, that.
Okay, all right, okay. (audience laughing)
- [Dog Owner] Toby, give me that, give me that.
No.
(audience laughing)
Hey. (audience laughing)
Give me that bag! (audience laughing)
(owner sighing)
(upbeat music)
- She's a witch, get her!
- [Dog Owner] You have lost your marbles!
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Dog Owner] What are you doin'?
Luna!
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
Get outta here! (owner laughing)
- My mom would yell at me
just for walking inside with a wet towel.
This is proof that humans are nicer to dogs than people.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Dog Owner] Oh my God!
(audience laughing)
- Well, now you'll just be more proactive
about taking out the trash.
Blessing in disguise. (audience laughing)
- [Dog Owner] Excuse me?
What are you doing? (audience laughing)
Hey!
- This dog doesn't even seem guilty.
Just upset that they were interrupted.
- [Dog Owner] Hey! What's goin' on here?
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
- [Dog Owner] You know what this is?
This is-
Really, is that your response?
(audience laughing)
This is from,
a bag of ash
that I shoveled out of the fireplace.
- Someone call one of the trainers from the other videos
we saw earlier.
They'll sort these dogs out in no time.
(audience laughing)
- [Dog Owner] What have you done here?
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (mud sloshing)
(audience laughing)
- He's part elephant, it's in his DNA.
By the end of this video, he's camouflaged.
Good luck getting that guy home.
- [Dog Owner] All right, well, apparently while I was out,
somebody got into the kitty cat treats.
(audience laughing)
We're gonna go look at the suspects.
Suspect number one. (audience laughing)
Was it you Mason?
Let's see your face.
(audience laughing)
Did you do this?
Denver, did you do this?
(audience laughing)
Denver, was this you?
Denver, you won't look at me.
(audience laughing)
Did you, what?! (audience laughing)
- He seems innocent to me. (audience laughing)
- [Dog Owner] Let me see your face.
Oh my goodness, Denver you didn't.
(audience laughing)
You did this?
- That's not a guilty face.
That's the face of a dog who has been outsmarted, yet again,
by the cat.
- I love cats and I've always wanted one, but I'm allergic.
So that makes things difficult.
But I swear the show has some clips that make me thankful,
I have my two dogs, Hank and Ruby.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Cat Owner] He is covered in flour.
(audience laughing)
- He's so nonchalant about it.
Like yeah, I made a mess.
You're welcome.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- We have even more hilarious clips coming up next
on "World's Funniest Animals".
(upbeat music)
We're back with one of my favorite segments.
Don't get me wrong.
I love a good cat video, like the rest of us,
but these animals in these next clips
are definitely not pets.
Here's wild beasts.
(upbeat music).
- Now that is a realistic costume, okay.
And I see that you've already found the treats,
you are doing great.
(audience laughing)
- Everyone has pumpkin spice fever.
It's crazy. (audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Yeah, he knows about your plans for Thanksgiving, man.
And he's not stopping until you change them.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Yeah no, I don't need a trick-or-treat bag,
I'll just roll it back to my cave.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- I need to find out the animals stylist,
in this next clip, what a look.
(audience laughing)
- And now with the latest fall fashion,
we have Bill the bold moose.
Come on down and strut your stuff Billy.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Mom] Watch the puddle.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(kid laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Soccer Player] We had to stop soccer,
'cause there was a moose.
Turns out, he just wanted to play.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(otter squeaking) (audience laughing)
- Look at how the mom holds him,
so that they could swim together.
I just can't take how cute this video is.
(upbeat music)
(woman screaming)
- [Woman] Go, go away!
- Put this in black and white and have scary music playing,
and tell me you're not horrified.
(suspenseful music) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- The traffic overseas is crazy.
What a silly goose. (audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
Well, at least he stopped at the roundabout.
Most people just blow right through them.
(upbeat music)
- [Passengers] Go, go, go!
(passengers screaming) (audience laughing)
- [Passengers] Faster, faster!
(passengers screaming)
- [Passenger] That's not funny!
- Believe it or not, even our reptile friends
are getting into the Halloween spirit.
This next clip is just amazing.
(upbeat music)
(water splashing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- I'm going to take this treat to go.
It's nice to see this alligator diversifying his diet,
fruits and veggies are very important people.
- We have even more hilarious clips
coming up next on "World's Funniest Animals".
(upbeat music)
Let's dive right into our final segment.
Halloween is filled with things bound to get our pets
a bit confused, from spooky decorations,
to haunted candy bowls and on the off occasion,
their bored owners.
Here's confused canines.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
- I don't get it, why won't anyone play with me?
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
I am not kidding around, leave me alone.
(husky growling playfully)
- Okay, are we not going to acknowledge
how people just have goats for pets now,
like in regular suburban, non rural areas?
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
- He's not scared.
He's just confused.
Usually it's his brother trying to steal his food.
- [Candy Bowl] I'll bite your fingers off!
(upbeat music) (dog barking)
(audience laughing) (dog barking)
- Look, I'm scared too.
The second those pumpkins show up at my house,
it means I've lost an entire afternoon
to sittin' on the kitchen floor,
emptying out pumpkin seeds into old grocery bags,
listening to the same six spooky songs on repeat.
(audience laughing) (dog barking)
(upbeat music)
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
- That thing is horrifying.
Imagine walking into your kitchen and seeing that.
- [Dog Owner] Buddy look.
(audience laughing) It's okay.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
- If all rats were that big, they would rule the world.
No way we win against those beasts, no way.
- I don't know what's going on in this next clip.
I probably don't want to know.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
- I'm more confused than the dogs are.
(audience laughing) (dog barking)
- [Dog Owner] You killed her!
(dogs barking) (audience laughing)
(dog barking)
(audience laughing)
- Toby, that is no way to treat a dinner guest.
Where are your table manners?
(upbeat music)
(dog growling) (audience laughing)
(dog barking) (audience laughing)
- I know, I'm confused too.
Are pumpkins fruits, vegetables?
Apparently they are fruit,
but I just find that hard to believe.
Get some answers out of that thing.
(audience laughing) (dog barking)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- This canine is in deep confused.
He's got a cowboy on his back
and eight seconds to get rid of him.
What would you do?
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- And that's why Sherlock Holmes,
doesn't have a Boston Terrier.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- The owner in this next clip
better have given the dog a treat after this.
Pets are so patient.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Oh my God, this is my boyfriend
whenever I'm trying to get some work done.
- 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 spookiest and kookiest
Halloween moments.
We had periled pups, heated horses,
crude cats, delinquent dogs, munching moose,
tumultuous turkeys, brazen bears, leaping labs,
and an elephant who run so fast,
we may enter in for a land speed record.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
That's all the time we have for our Halloween spooktacular.
Thanks so much to our panel and to our special guest,
Robert England.
- Bye Liz, thanks for having me and Mona.
- Thanks guys, and thank you for tuning in.
We'll see you next time on "World's Funniest Animals".
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- [Dog Owner] Oh my God! (owner laughing)
