(upbeat music) - Grab a snack
and a treat for your furry friends,
because today on the show, we have playful pigs,

and a bear who is taking full advantage
of the lovely weather.
All this and more right here on "World's Funniest Animals."
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals",
your one-stop shop for all the most hilarious animal videos.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton, joined today by my
pups, Hank and Ruby, as well as our panelists
and our special guest, Lola Flanery.
Hey Lola.
- Hey, Liz!
Say "Hi", Westley.
- Thanks for joining us, you two.
After a long day, what sounds better than a dip in the pool?
Pets in this segment totally agree.
Cooling off.
Starting with commentary from actress, Maiara Walsh.
Hey, Maiara.
- Hey, Liz.
- What are your thoughts on kiddy pools?
- Um...
(audience laughs)
I'm not big on kiddy pools,
but I'd make an exception to hang out with these otters.
(audience laughs)
- Next, we have standup comedian, Brian Cooper.
- Hey, Liz.
- With the weather warming up,
are you ready to start hitting the pool?
- Let me go get my swim trunks.
(audience laughs)
- Great, I came late
and now the pool is having
the adult swim and aerobics lesson.
(audience laughs)
- Now we're joined by singer and comedian, Mikalah Gordon.
- Hey, Liz. Hey, everyone.
- So how often do you swim with bears?
- If I'm not swimming with bears,
I'm not swimming.
(audience laughs)
- This guy would crush the local belly flop contest.
(audience laughs)
- [Man] Get away from me, wet bear.
- [Man] Are you a happy bear?
- Finally, we have comedian Neel Ghosh.
- Hey, Liz.
- Growing up in Iowa,
have you had any run-ins with pigs?
- No, Liz, it's not just farmland.
We have cities in Iowa, too.
(audience laughs)
Oh, he's making his own hot tub.
(audience laughs)
(pig oinks)
(calm music) (audience laughs)
- Our pets like to play all the games we did growing up.
So don't be surprised if you find them
in some odd box or random corner of your home.
Let's check out these fun loving fur balls in our segment,
Hide & Seek.
(upbeat dance music)
(audience laughs)
- No shade, but cat people start getting so many cats,
they need places to put them.
(audience laughs)
- It was that day he learned
his owner was a wizard.
(audience laughs)
(indistinct)
- Good girl, good girl!
- There's something so satisfying about
tricking your pet.
(audience laughs)
- What kind of a Jack in the Box is this?
(audience laughs)
- Oh, I've seen these.
Aren't you supposed to load a penny?
(tense music)
- This next cat is definitely plotting something.
The suspense is killing me.
(audience laughs)
- Cats are sociopaths.
(audience laughs)
- I have nothing to say.
His face says it all.
(audience laughs)
- Now let's check in with our special guest.
You may know her from right here on the CW.
From "The 100", we have actress Lola Flanery.
- Hey, Liz. Hey, everyone.
Happy to be here with Westley.
- Happy to have you two.
What kind of dog is Westley?
- He is a Bullmastiff mix.
- How would you describe Westley
and how long have you had him?
- About two months ago now I found Westley.
He needed a home and well, I had one.
He is a big sweet boy and equal parts crazy and lazy.
- Well, what are some of his favorite things to do?
- Westley's favorite things to do are eat and take naps.
So we are a match made in Heaven.
It seems my co-host has decided to take break early.
- Well, so are mine.
Well, how about we let these kids
finish up their naps and we'll come back
with you guys a little later in the show?
Don't start flipping out,
more hilarious clips coming up
on "World's Funniest Animals".
Sometimes our pets get confused
by what seems to be the ordinary for us.
Let's see if we can sort out this mix-up
in our segment, Curious Pets.
(upbeat hip hop music)
(audience laughs)
- If I was that cute,
I'd probably get distracted
and bump into a couple of mirrors too.
(audience laughs)
(cat meows)
(dog barks)
(audience laughs)
- [Man] Go get it.
- Dude, this is a dog house.
What is she doing in here?
And why is she giving me that cold, dark stare?
(audience laughs)
- [Man] What is it, a mean kitty?
(dog barks) (audience laughs)
Lord, that kitty is about to get ya.
Gonna get ya!
- This is actually a form of exposure therapy.
They're training the dogs to like cats slowly over time.
(audience laughs)
- This next clip showcases a dog who has
either met their best friend or mortal enemy.
It's kinda hard to tell.
(audience laughs)
- I have seen hundreds of animal videos on this show
and one of these days,
it won't be a mirror, just two identical dogs.
(audience laughs)
- Some animals just can't contain their excitement.
Let's take a look at these hyperactive pets
in our segment, Flipping Out.
(upbeat dance music)
(cat bangs wall)
(audience laughs)
- Ooh, a little to the left,
he would have made it
to platform nine and three quarters.
(audience laughs)
- He's going to have to make a choice,
jump down or have his owner move the litter box up there.
(audience laughs)
- [Woman] Yummy!
- [Man] Have a carrot.
- Imagine how excited he would be with a real bone.
(audience laughs)
- [Woman] Yum! (dog barks)
(audience laughs)
(dog barks)
- [Woman] Yum!
(audience laughs) (dog barks)
- This dog has the same excitement I have
when I get my food.
It's just my happy dance.
(audience laughs)
- I have to admit, this next clip is extremely impressive.
(audience laughs)
- That is flipping amazing.
(audience laughs)
- [Liz] More "World's Funniest Animals"
coming up right after this.
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals".
Lizards make great pets.
Like cats, they're easy to take care of with minimal upkeep.
Also like cats,
they only show affection once you've really earned it.
Let's take a look at these rowdy reptiles
in our segment, Lovable Lizards.
(upbeat dance music)
(audience laughs)
- That lizard is basically the size of a cat.
(audience laughs)
- Fish?
(audience laughs)
Love me or no trout.
You love me.
Oooh. (audience laughs)
(girl makes kissing sounds) (audience laughs)
- That is one expensive pet.
These sushi dinners are adding up.
(audience laughs)
- This is how lizards greet people.
It's like shaking hands to them.
(audience laughs)
- Did we really expect him to give a kiss?
- If I was the one filming this next clip,
I think I would have just let them keep it.
That's their laundry now.
- [Woman] So, uh, can I have my sock back?
(audience laughs)
Please?
(audience laughs) No?
Your sock?
I think this is my sock.
- I don't blame him.
Nothing better than warm laundry.
I don't do laundry,
but if I did.
(audience laughs)
- [Woman] My sock.
(audience laughs)
(indistinct)
- And now we know what happens to all those missing socks.
(audience laughs)
- Some pets have some amazing natural talents.
Others get trained.
One thing's for certain, these next clips definitely
showcase some animals with Mad Skillz.
(audience laughs)
- Looks like this guy does this a lot.
I mean, he has some guns.
I need to start swinging my dog around I guess.
(audience laughs)
- Okay, so I just have to throw this guy in the air
and I get free food?
(audience laughs)
- Hey, let me get a celeb shot.
(audience laughs) - Ace.
- Our next clip is a halftime show
you would not wanna miss.
(audience laughs)
- They always said he was too short
to make it into the league.
Look at him now.
(audience laughs)
- And we're back with our special guest Lola Flannery.
During your time on "The 100",
did you have a chance to work with any animals?
- At the end of filming season six of "The 100",
I was talking to our executive producer Jason Rothenberg
about my wishes for season seven.
And I said that I hoped my character Maddie
could do big stunts and get a dog,
and he made both of those wishes come true.
I got to work with this beautiful golden retriever
called Sawyer,
who you guys might know as Picasso.
And my favorite memory of being on set with Sawyer
was in between takes, running around
and going sneak treats at craft service.
- Sneaking treats at craft service
is the main reason I got into the business.
Thanks for joining us tonight, Lola and Westley.
- Bye Liz, thanks for having us.
- [Liz] Is your pet spoiled rotten?
Think twice.
You might be out done by the owners in our next segment.
More "World's Funniest Animals" coming right up after this.
You're watching "World's Funniest Animals".
And these next segments remind us
exactly how we earned that title.
Our pets are so precious.
We have to give them back all the love they've given us.
These next donors have taken this to a whole new level
in our segment, Spoiled.
(audience laughs) (upbeat dance music)
- Just when I thought cats couldn't get any weirder.
(audience laughs)
- I do the same thing with an exfoliating brush.
(audience laughs)
- After a long day of chasing cats
and barking at squirrels,
he's earned this.
(audience laughs)
- I've been thinking of a handy way
to keep my pets entertained.
The owners in this next clip
have it all figured out.
(audience laughs)
- Never have to pet your cat again.
(audience laughs)
- I'm sorry.
This is either the laziest owner or the smartest.
- These next clips have me thinking,
I want a whole new kind of pet
that I never even knew I wanted.
They are a little messy
and I'm sure they have to be fed a lot.
But after these videos,
you just might be convinced too.
Here's Precious Pigs.
(audience laughs)
- Oh, that's so crazy.
Neymar has the same haircut.
(audience laughs)
This little boar must be a fan.
- This guy sure hogs the ball.
(audience laughs)
(pig snorts)
(woman laughs)
(pig snorts)
(audience laughs)
(pig snorts) (audience laughs)
- Say "Oink".
(pig snorts) (audience laughs)
- Hog travel is convenient and all,
but it takes forever
stopping at every restaurant, every mud puddle.
(audience laughs)
- After seeing this next clip,
I dare you to tell me you aren't sold on a pet pig.
(audience laughs)
- Pigs in a blanket with a side of adorable.
(audience laughs)
- 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 cuddling cats and dumbfounded dogs and brazen
bears, energetic elephants, rude reptiles,
(audience laughs)
feisty felines and a golden retriever
who had us all jealous.
(upbeat dance music) (audience laughs)
Thanks so much to our panel
and our special guest to Lola Flanery.
- Bye everyone.
Say "Bye", Westley! (westley grunts)
- Bye, Lola. Bye, Westley.
And thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton
and we'll see you next time on "World's Funniest Animals".
