(upbeat music)
- [Elizabeth] You don't want to miss this.
Friendly frenchies,
majestic mini horses,
burglar birds
and a cat who has decided
it's time to see what this dog food is all about.
All this is more,
right here on World's Funniest Animals.
Hello and welcome to World's Funniest Animals
where we show you all the most hilarious clips
the internet and beyond has to offer.
I'm your host Elizabeth Stanton
joined today by my sidekicks,
Hank and Ruby,
as well as our panelist
and our special guest, Amy Gumenick.
Hey Amy.
- Hey Liz.
Thanks for having us.
We're thrilled to be here.
- Of course.
Thanks for coming.
Summer is here
and it has me craving long days
lounging in the sand
and swimming in the ocean.
And I'm not the only one.
Let's see our pets enjoying the sea
with our segment, Beach Life.
Starting with actress and singer, Mikalah Gordon.
- Hey Liz.
- On this segment, we're hitting the beach,
care to join?
- I love the beach,
as long as it doesn't ruin my spray tan.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing) (dog barks)
Oh, I tried this,
lost control of the board
and it hit three people tanning nearby.
It was awful.
- Now we have actress, Carmen Hodgson.
- Hi Lizzie.
- How are you at making new friends?
- Is it finally happening?
Is somebody bringing me a puppy on the show?
Please.
(audience laughing)
This dog is so pure.
He just wants to be your friend.
Wait.
(audience laughing)
- Next up, we have singer and songwriter, Brandon Rogers.
- Hey, hey, hey Liz.
- As an Angelina, born and raised,
do you go to the beach often?
- You know, I went a lot as a kid,
but really not much anymore.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(wind whistling)
(audience laughing)
Hey, I don't blame your bud,
nobody tells you ahead of time
that the Pacific ocean is freezing.
- And finally, we have standup comedian, Brian Cooper.
- Hey Liz.
- This next beach might need a better trained lifeguard.
I'm not sure how much they were able
to help this woman out.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Ooh, that's rough.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- We all like to let loose and dance,
whether it's out and about
or in the middle of our living rooms,
our pets are no exception.
Let's take a look at these animals
who have Dance Fever.
♪ Everybody get down ♪
(upbeat electronic music) (audience laughing)
- When the beat hits,
you just gotta move.
(upbeat electronic music)
♪ It's my turn to lose control ♪
- Whoa, this is one intense dance battle.
(upbeat electronic music)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- The dog is clearly the more trained dancer.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
- He's not dancing,
he just has to pee.
- This next clip features a woman
and her live in dance partner.
I'm a little jealous.
Hank and Ruby need to step up their game.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Something is telling me
that he wouldn't be as good of a dancer
if treats weren't involved.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Time to check in on our special guest,
you may know her from right here on the CW,
starring in Arrow.
We have Amy Gumenick.
- Hey Liz.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are we disturbing you?
- What a big yawn.
And what's your name?
- This is Jaxon.
Jaxon is an Australian shepherd mix,
to be a bit more precise,
he is a boxer German shepherd.
Jaxon is basically the perfect extreme
of super active at times,
crazy and super chill.
He likes to just hang out
and now he's running away.
He is very strong-willed.
Hi, can you see me through the tail?
Jaxon has a mind of his own.
He is extremely stubborn
and I'm pretty sure he's part of human.
- How long have you had our stubborn little friend?
And what are some of his favorite things to do?
- Jaxon is seven years old.
We've had him since he was about six weeks.
Hi.
Jaxon loves running around in nature.
He loves to explore swimming in swamps.
Jaxon was a rescue.
His litter was found on the side of the road,
brought him home, he was severely malnourished.
He was living in a fish tank
so his muscles had atrophied,
he wasn't able to walk.
And within a few days after two full rotisserie chickens
and lots of love, here we are seven years later,
perfectly healthy, our little rescue,
who we were told wasn't gonna make it,
is now my fur baby and my best friend.
- Wow. That is such an amazing story.
And I'm so glad you guys gave Jaxon another chance
and gave him such a happy life.
(air whooshing)
I know it's getting late,
but don't touch that remote.
We're about to hit the hay.
Next on World's Funniest Animals.
(upbeat music)
Humans and horses have a long history before cars.
They were a main mode of transport here in the States.
Now they are some of our most beloved pets,
for that reason, I think it's time
to Hit The Hay.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat hillbilly music)
- I don't know much about horse racing
but something tells me that wasn't supposed to happen.
(upbeat hillbilly music)
- At least he aimed for the water.
(upbeat music)
- Hey, that's a cool place to hang out.
(upbeat music)
(bright music)
- These farm rideshares sure are different
than in the big city.
(bright music)
- This next clip is one of my favorites.
I love horses and I love anything miniature,
just ask Ruby.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Oh my God.
This horse and Favio have the same hairdresser.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Some of our favorite pastimes
are being out on the water.
And along the way, we wind up
running into some of my favorite animals.
Let's see these aquatic antics
in Feeling Fishy.
(upbeat music)
- We have Jaws with the triple axle
and the judge's score...
A perfect 10.
(upbeat music)
- That was flipping cool.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome to the dolphin experience.
I'll take that.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- Oh my God. - I got that on video.
(upbeat music)
- We've seen kittens and puppies
and even baby crocodiles this season.
But I think this has to be the smallest animals
we've shown all season.
(upbeat music)
- Wait a minute.
Isn't this the beginning of Finding Nemo.
Don't go with him.
(upbeat music)
- This is one of those moments
when someone keeps saying
you have something on your face
and you can never get the spot.
Where's the fish?
Here, here, here, here.
Nobody knows.
- [Elizabeth] Put on a happy face.
Next on World's Funniest Animals.
(upbeat music)
I have to say I'm really lucky.
Hank and Ruby are the happiest pups in the world.
Just look at these two.
Speaking of happy animals,
let's jump right into our next segment,
Put On a Happy Face.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- How did they find a dog
that looks just like that key chain?
- [Dog Owner] She's sleeping, aaaww.
Look at that smile.
Hardy, are you awake?
- Oh, Barbara.
Why didn't you wake me?
I was having the best dream,
there were fire hydrants everywhere,
streets made a bacon.
I got to go back to sleep.
(upbeat music)
(dog whimpering)
- It's that one person in the room
with the infectious laugh,
it makes everyone else laugh.
(dog whimpering)
- You know how dogs
are supposed to act just like their owners,
I think that's the case in this next clip.
This is a learned behavior coming from this pet.
They are both so excited.
- [Pet Owner] Where's it at?
Cami, where's you cheeky smile?
There it is.
What are you doing? What is that?
Are you happy to see me?
What's going on here?
What is this? What are you doing?
- Look at that smile.
How could you ever say no to that face?
- [Pet Owner] What are you doing?
What is that?
- My worst nightmare would be people coming over
without me getting proper notice.
I have to make sure everything is clean
and in the right spot.
Now, imagine that same scenario
but instead of a person, it was a wild animal.
(upbeat music)
(foot stomping)
(upbeat music)
- Simon says, "Stomp your foot."
(upbeat music)
- I'm just surprised that deer
didn't jump through the window.
That's how most of these videos end.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- I've heard of people putting out bird baths
but this is a little too much.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Nobody ever explained windows to animals.
It just, it's got to seem
like some sort of magical force field to them.
- This next person is greeting not one
but three uninvited guests in their backyard.
They even help themselves to some snacks.
(upbeat music)
- [Home Owner] This is ridiculous.
And their mom is just like,
- [Kid] Wandering around. - Roaming around the yard.
They're tearing this thing up.
Eating all the bird seed.
- What do you expect?
You put free food in a box,
two feet off the ground.
(upbeat music)
- We're back with Amy.
I was told you have a pretty interesting story
about working with animals.
Care to share.
- I only worked with animals once while filming
and they were actually frogs.
I did an Armstrong Flooring commercial,
where I played a princess
who was looking for her Frog Prince.
I assumed when I had auditioned
that it would be CGI
special effects, animated.
I got to set
in my huge poofy princess gown.
They placed me on this big canopy bed
and then calls for the Frog Wrangler.
At that point, a young man walked in with massive buckets
and started dumping giant juicy toads everywhere,
on me, on the bed, on the floor.
And I did not know, fun fact,
that when frogs are nervous, they pee.
- Well, I think I can figure out how that story ends.
Sorry to hear that.
Changing gears, I heard you and Jaxon
had some tricks to show us.
- High five.
Good boy.
Other paw. Other paw.
Good boy.
Cheek.
Oh, nice to meet you.
Other paw.
Thank you very much, sir.
You get a treat for that.
Good boy.
Down.
- Jaxon isn't just adorable,
he is also very talented.
Thanks for sharing with us, Amy.
We're coming up to two of my all-time favorite segments.
Just wait till you see these clips.
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to World's Funniest Animals.
We have angry animals who cannot be bothered,
right here with Don't Mess With Me.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- This is a pretty intense turf war.
(upbeat music)
- This cat just needs to leave the dog alone.
(audience laughing)
(rooster clucking)
(audience laughing)
- Wait, I just want to be your friend.
(upbeat eerie music)
- That guy was a little chicken
but you won't believe this next clip.
We have a turtle move faster than I've ever seen.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
- That is the fastest the turtle has gone
since he was driven home from the pet store.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Our animals don't know any better,
but some of them have turned to a life of crime.
Now, Ruby here will steal just about any sock
she can get ahold of.
Let's see the loot these next pets garner
in our segment, Pilfering Pets.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- This is how I feel
when my girlfriend steals my fries.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(Witness laughing)
- [Witness] Oh my God.
I can't believe it.
No, no, no, no, no.
- Victoria's Secret is that she makes a great bird's nest.
- [Witness] What are you doing?
That's my underwear.
Give my underwear back.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- I feel like this was set up for a family photo
and the dog's like, "No, let's make this about me.
Thank you."
(audience laughing)
- You can tell how fast this dog is running
by the movement of his little cheeks.
Love you.
- I don't know if you can call this next clip thievery,
just really aggressive snacking.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Look, if you gon steal my carrots,
you can at least chew with your mouth closed.
Manners.
(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 rocketed reptiles, charging chickens,
pinching pooches, bathing bears,
happy hounds, doe-eyed deer, lily-livered labs,
and a pretty impressive aerial maneuver from a dolphin.
Woo.
(upbeat music) (audience laughing)
Thanks so much to our panel
and our special guest, Amy Gumenick.
- Bye Liz. Thank you.
- And thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton
and we'll see you next time
on World's Funniest Animals.
- [Home Owner] Oh, they are tearing this thing up.
