(upbeat electric music)
- [Elizabeth] You won't want to miss
what we've got in store.
We have hungry hamsters,
twirling Terriers,
larcenist lizards,
and a cat who can who can definitely
work on their dismount.
All this and more right here on World's Funniest Animals.
You're watching World's Funniest Animals.
We've searched all across the world,
even my own backyard
for the most amusing animal antics we can find on tape.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton,
and these are my sidekicks, Hank and Ruby.
We are joined today by our group of panelists
and our special guest, Amara Zaragoza.
Hey Amara!
- Hey Liz, Chombly and I are so excited to be here,
thank you so much.
- Happy to have you here.
We always have segments for cats, dogs, and birds.
You know, the big three for household pets,
but hey, I thought it's time to stick up for the little guy.
Let's take a look at another fan favorite
in our segment, Hamster Time.
Starting with Mikalah Gordon, hey Mikalah!
- Hey Liz, what's going on?
- Are you a fan of surprises?
- Of course, but now I'm worried about
what this next clip is, Liz.
(hamster squeaks)
(laughter)
- I've never seen a hamster look more offended.
(hamster squeaks)
- Next up we have stand-up comedian, Brian Cooper.
Hey Brian!
- Liz, how's it going?
- Do you like Italian food?
- Where's this going?
(Italian music)
(laughter)
- Can we get one more hamster?
I see a Lady in the Tramp remake.
- Now we're joined by actress, Carmen Hodgson.
- Hey Lizzie.
- You're a big fan of working out right, Carmen?
Do your pets workout?
- I mean I take them on walks.
(upbeat funky music)
(laughter)
So you know how you have to kind of bend down
to pet someone's dog?
If you saw a hamster outside,
you would basically have to lie down and pet it.
- Finally, we are joined by actor, Noah Matthews.
- Liz, how's it going?
- Let me know what you think of this.
(upbeat techno music)
(laughter)
- It's all those sunflowers seeds he's been eating,
loaded with protein and vitamins.
(upbeat music)
(laughter)
- Can I get one of these, but big enough for my dog?
- Our pets all have that one favorite toy.
You know, that toy that makes them crazy when they have it
or even crazier when they can't find it.
Let's take a look at these pets favorite toys
in Where's My Toy.
(upbeat funky music)
(laughter)
- It looks cute, but she's actually a black belt in
Jujitsu, and that is a brutal hold.
(whimsical music)
(laughter)
- If I didn't see him walk first,
I couldn't tell you what is a stuffed animal
and what is real.
(laughter)
(cheerful music)
(laughter)
- And that is why he's an only child.
He is not to be trusted around siblings.
(whimsical music)
(laughter)
- Okay, this took me a few times to figure out.
Have you noticed it yet?
The dog's mouth is through the stuffed animal.
(laughter)
(upbeat music)
(laughter)
- I told you, I can't sleep without my stuffed Unicorn!
Stop bringing it downstairs.
(whimsical music)
(laughter)
- We need to get that Husky a toy stat
before he starts treating that cat like one.
- Let's check in with our special guest,
you may know her from Gossip Girl,
the lovely Amara Zaragoza.
- So this is my baby, Chombly,
and Chombly is half Husky and half Red Heeler.
He's a good boy.
- Chombly, what a fun name!
How did you two come together?
- I've had Chombly since he was eight weeks old
and he's now five, so I've had him for a really long time.
- I heard you and Chombly had some tricks
you wanted to show us.
- Let's see if we can do a trick.
Okay, sit.
Good boy, shake. Okay wait, down.
(laughs) Wait you're doing it too fast.
Up, up!
Sit.
No (laughs) sit.
Bang! (laughs)
- [Elizabeth] We have some wicked whiskered wipeouts
coming up next on World's Funniest Animals.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome back.
One thing about Hank is he absolutely loves the water.
Swimming, fishing, diving, he does it all.
Now, Ruby, on the other hand,
let's just say her hair doesn't cooperate
and she would rather not mess it up if she doesn't have to.
They're just too cute. I mean, I just can't sometimes.
Okay, focus Lizzie, we have a show to do.
Speaking of water, these dogs just can't get enough
of it in our segment we like to call, Thirsty For Fun.
(upbeat electric music)
(laughter)
- This video is hypnotic.
- Anyone else dizzy?
- Oh, they're on a synchronous swimming team!
(upbeat techno music)
(laughter)
Hey, you'd be thirsty too
after a three mile walk covered in fur.
(upbeat playful music)
(laughter)
- (laughs) You should take him to Yellowstone,
he would freak out.
- You know the fountains in parks,
the ones in the middle of a lake
and they always look so fun to play in,
well the dog in this next clip did exactly that.
(intense techno music)
(laughter)
- This looks like the final scene in an action movie.
How did he even get there?
- Animals are extremely fast and with great speed
requires even greater reaction time.
When that fails, we get into wipeout territory.
(groovy playful music)
(laughter)
(loud thud)
(laughter)
- The way the guys went to stop him
makes me think this isn't the first time this has happened.
(loud thud)
(upbeat techno music)
(laughter)
- You know, I've always wondered what makes cats have
the propensity to climb and jump off high objects.
This next clip doesn't explain it,
but it is a prime example.
(laughter)
- Cats always land on their feet,
mainly because they have so much practice falling.
(laughter)
(triumphant music)
(laughter)
- Rowdy reptiles and fenced-in fidos
coming up next on World's Funniest Animals.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome back, you're watching World's Funniest Animals.
Reptiles are known as being cold-blooded,
not just due to their genetics,
but also because of their rude behavior.
I've had some amazing experiences with lizards and
snakes and found them to be quite nice.
Reptile Round-up.
- [Man on Boat] Dude, what are you doing out here?
Just hop on, you'll be fine.
Get on board.
(laughter)
I'll take you back. C'mon.
All right, we're almost home.
Any of this look familiar to you?
Bye buddy, nice meeting you. Bye.
- This is so wholesome, but he has a pretty good point.
How'd it get way over there?
(techno music)
(laughter)
- Okay this is not a fair fight, he has a shell!
- This is senior abuse, that turtle is eighty-four.
- We all enjoy a nice picnic bench with a nice big meal.
Apparently, so do iguanas.
(playful music)
(laughter)
- What's the opposite of pizza delivery?
- He has the audacity to eat a half of it
in front of him before running away,
that is my kind of lizard.
- All pets and animals alike
share one thing in common: the fence.
It stops dogs from reaching the strangers
they're barking at,
cats from whatever cats do,
and wild animals from getting over to our neck of the woods.
Let's take a closer look at this long-standing rivalry
in our segment, Don't Fence Me In.
(upbeat music)
(laughter)
- Right now is usually about when people give me treats.
(laughter)
- (laughs) Legend has it, Maggie is still there to this day.
- And that would begin our bicentennial
dog versus deer race.
First, we start with the 40 yard dash. And they're off!
(upbeat electronic music)
(laughter)
- So far we've seen the dreaded backyard fence,
but now I present to you, pet enemy number one,
the indoor pet gate.
(playful music)
(laughter)
We're back with our special guest, Amara.
So, I hear Chombly is quite the entertainer himself.
- Chombly is actually a movie star. (laughs)
He got asked to be in a movie
and he's the title role in this short film called Lucy,
and I got to be the trainer
and I had my little treats and everything.
He hid under a car when he was supposed to.
There was like a fight scene in there.
But, it's a really great film
and now he's in the running possibly for an Academy Award.
My dog might get an Oscar before me. (laughs)
- That seems like a nice, healthy competition
between you two.
Get ready, headbutt Bonanza coming up right after this
on World's Funniest Animals.
(upbeat music)
With wild animals, you never know what might happen,
but you can count on one thing,
if you make them angry, they won't hesitate to let you know.
Let's see what happens in that exact scenario
with our segment, Headbutt Bonanza.
(smooth music plays)
(laughter)
- That's a pretty bad way to break your drone.
(groovy music)
(laughter)
(upbeat music)
- Maybe if you waited till he stopped eating,
he probably would have been nicer.
(laughter)
- So this next clip is quite educational,
I learned if I'm on a bike and I see a ram,
to get off the bike and get as far away as possible from it.
(groovy music)
(laughter)
- They could've just talked this out,
but that ram is so hard-headed.
(laughter)
- You know, everybody's a critic, even our pets.
Some pets just don't appreciate
their owner's musical tendencies.
Don't believe me? Let's find out in our next segment,
Please Stop Singing.
(singing)
(cat screeching)
(laughter)
- That was way too flat!
(singing)
(bang on piano)
(laughter)
- Did you want me to stop?
- Honestly, I'm glad she stopped her that soon,
we cannot afford that song on this show, ma'am.
(clears throat)
- Hi.
(singing)
(loud thud)
(laughter)
- [Singer] Are you serious?
(strumming)
(singing)
- Get off, cat.
- Now I know I said this would be about animals
who did not like their owners music,
but with this one, the jury is out.
I can't tell if the cat loves the music,
or wants her to stop.
Let me know what you think.
(violin playing)
(laughter)
- This is me trying to strike up a conversation
with the band at the bar.
- 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 have island iguanas, terrifying turtles, clumsy cats,
fenced fidos, raging rams, parched
pups, horrified hamsters,
and a dog having the time of their life
in the middle of a fountain.
(upbeat techno music)
Thanks so much to our panel
and to our special guest, Amara Zaragoza.
- Say bye, say bye-bye.
Bye Liz, thank you so much for having us.
- And thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton, and we'll see you next time
on World's Funniest Animals.
