Take a seat and make sure to buckle in,
because on this show,
we've got a buffet fit for a group of geckos,
grand buffet,
street-crossing salmon,
a seat-stealing seal,
and a pig who loves parkour.
You're tuned in to World's Funniest Animals.
Here at World's Funniest Animals,
humans take a back seat for once
and we put the spotlight on some of the best animal clips
the internet has to offer.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton,
and these are my trusty sidekicks, Hank and Ruby,
joined today with a few of my friends and panelists,
as well as our celebrity guests,
Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo.
- Hey, Liz! - Hey, Liz!
We're so excited to get this started!
- I'm so excited to show you
some compilations of our favorite home videos
of animals being absolutely hilarious.
Let's dive in.
Dinner time!
Brought to you with commentary from our first panelist,
the hilarious comedian, Neel Ghosh.
- Hey, Liz.
- Are you ready for some hungry animals?
- I'm feeling a little hungry myself.
I should start doing this.
This would make eating and watching TV super convenient.
It's like half eating, half grooming.
- Our next panelist is actor, Carmen Hodgson.
- What's up, Liz?
- This next clip features a very hungry animal.
- So I could definitely relate to this.
Yeah, sure, everyone gets a knife and a piece of bread,
but no, I have to lick the jar.
This is degrading!
- Now we're joined by actor, writer,
director, musician, Maiara Walsh.
- Hey, Liz.
- We have an animal who can't wait to eat.
- Perfect.
I got this.
I don't need your help, I got it.
Okay, help me.
- For our final panelist, we have top-notch comedian,
Brian Cooper.
- Hi, Liz!
- Are you ready for some animals digging into their dinner?
- Sounds like I came here at the perfect time.
Bring on the food!
Yeah, really funny, Mom.
Can we just get two bowls?
- Birds of a feather flock together,
or so the saying goes,
but some of the best friendships come
when we meet people, or animals,
that are completely different from us.
Let's check out some unexpected pairings
in our segment, Opposites Attract.
Animal friendship.
- If this is a Mortal Kombat between Bambi and a puppy,
I'm sorry, I'm going Bambi every time.
The best part of this is the kid's commentary.
That is the cutest thing I ever saw.
- Baby cows are so adorable.
- Oh, this is "Lion King" part four,
they replaced Timon.
Yeah, I know this.
Hakuna matata, everyone!
- This dog is so chill.
- I'm so excited for this next part of our show
where we talk to a celebrity guest and their pet,
and today, I'm even more excited
because we have on a celebrity couple.
From "American Idol," welcome Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young.
- Hey, Liz! - How are you?
This is our foster puppy, Amber.
- She's very sleepy right now,
it's hard being a puppy.
- I get it, Amber, I can only imagine
what being a puppy must be like.
Sounds exhausting.
Diana, I hear you have a pretty interesting story
about working with a horse in a movie.
That, I have to hear.
- Okay, so this one time, I was on a set for a western film.
We're in Southern California, we're atop this beautiful hill
overlooking the countryside, my human co-star
is on his horse, I'm on mine,
and then the poor horse
had gastric distress.
For hours.
Needless to say, what should've taken
maybe 30 minutes to film
took all day.
But I think he was feeling better at the end.
Coming up, we have some pets
who have definitely had better days.
Don't Mess With Me, next on World's Funniest Animals.
Sometimes, you just want to be left alone.
Everyone needs to recharge every once in a while,
and our pets are no exception.
Take a look at these grumpy animals in our segment,
Don't Mess With Me.
- Uh oh, torpedo cat.
Engage.
Three, two, one.
Bang!
I love the ending where the cat just stares.
Like, "I almost had you."
- That's how I sound in the morning.
I would be yelling too
if that guy kept tapping me on the head.
- Wow, he is so gentle,
he's so majestic, just look at his proud stride.
Roll the windows up, roll them up!
- Wait a minute, one more time on that.
- Who did it better?
- You know when you just judo chop your cat in the forehead?
Yeah, that's what you deserve.
- If you're like me, you probably have a doggy gate
set up where you live.
For my pets, it works.
For these next animals,
that could hardly hold them back.
Here's Jailbreak.
'Sup, little guy?
- Squirrels do not mess around.
'Sup, little guy?
- Okay, this is definitely pig parkour.
- And here we are at the 200 meter hurdle race
and oops, he's immediately disqualified.
- Okay, one thing I've learned from all of these clips
is that you have to put a roof on stuff.
- Hey guys, excited to chat with you today.
So I know Amber is pretty tired,
but does she happen to know any tricks we can see?
- Is being cute a trick?
'Cause she is incredible at being cute,
and she's really good at sitting,
and jumping, we think she might be part kangaroo.
We're waiting on the DNA results.
- We'll wake her up, we'll try some tricks for you.
Come here!
Come here, Amber!
Yeah!
There's our girl!
- Well, after all that, I can definitely see
why she is so tired.
Coming up, we have some friendships
that go against everything cartoons taught us.
- We'll be right back with more World's Funniest Animals.
- Dogs and cats, cats and birds,
cats and pretty much any animal, now that I think about it,
conventionally, are not supposed to get along.
These next clips break all the stereotypes.
A World of Difference.
- This is the cutest thing in the world.
"Are you my mother?"
- "Yeah, man, come on,
"I'm gonna show you right where the oats are.
"Yep, just follow me, I got you.
"You know I always take care of my boys, come on, let's go."
"Yeah, yeah, so dude came at me and I was just like,
"and then he was like,
"and then I was like 'whoa!'"
And the duck's just like, "Man, get out of here!"
- The dog's face when he turns around and looks at the cat.
Like, did he not know who was doing that?
- This bed's too soft.
This bed's too hard.
This one's just right.
- Now one of my favorite segments,
because I absolutely love to eat and I know my pets do too,
get ready for our next segment,
Supper Club.
- This chinchilla looks really deep in thought.
I wonder what it's thinking.
"If this woman doesn't stop filming me
"eat every meal, I'm gonna freak out!"
Man, don't you hate going into a restaurant
with your friends and there's the one person
who eats way too slow?
This is that person.
- Try some of that.
Oh, no.
Whatever you say.
- This Crocodile Dundee son having lunch with animals
and letting the animals eat off of his plate, okay.
- Wanna try some of that?
Good, right?
Come up here if you want the rest.
Cereal and a bottle of wine.
It's always nice to have a sit-down dinner with the family.
"Jerry, that's mine.
"Dude, quit licking my food.
"Come on, Dave, you too?"
- Coming up, some pets just can't be contained.
We have some escape artists in these next clips
on World's Funniest Animals.
Did you know that Houdini one staged a harrowing escape
from inside a sea monster?
Really!
This next segment may not be as cool as that,
but I bet even Houdini could've learned something
from these canine jail breakers.
Planned Escape.
Why do we even take dogs to the park anymore?
Do they even really need us?
You can just give them the car keys by now.
Good boy!
"See, Barry, the key to
"opening up doors without thumbs is simple.
"You gotta proportion your weight.
"Yeah, there we go.
"Ah, yep, see, it's in your weight."
Wow.
The one thing a horse is supposed to do
is jump over a fence.
Run, Forrest, run!
- Why did the fish cross the road?
Because the river ran through it.
- Finally, I can take my fish for a walk!
I could be a wish-walker!
- Everyone has their good days and their bad days.
These next animals are definitely not
having a good day.
Up The Wall.
- Yeah, this dog is not being subtle,
he does not want to share his bed.
Which one's the robot?
I can't even tell.
- Actually, this really isn't a good time,
he takes his meal time very seriously.
No, you've had enough.
Your breakfast is gone, move on.
No, you'll get more tonight
at supper, you are not starving.
No, you're not, you're on a diet.
No--
No more breakfast!
Listen--
Oh, my--
What just happened, did he hit you?
- Oh man, he hit me really strong!
Are you okay?
- We need to see that in slow-mo.
- That had to hurt.
- Permission to approach the bench, denied.
- Yeah, I would get right up
if a seal growled at me like that.
Have you seen their teeth?
- Well, that's almost it for us,
but just in case you missed anything,
here is a quick recap of all of the funniest moments.
A haywire horse, a daring dog,
a clip that took the term "dog and pony show"
to a whole new level, an exasperated elephant,
a tourist who was rudely kicked out of his seat
by a local sea lion, and a cowboy who must
really enjoy his family dinners.
We've really covered a lot!
Our time's up on this week's episode
of World's Funniest Animals.
A huge thanks to our fantastic panel
and to our celebrity guests, Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young,
for bringing their pet on the show.
- Thank you, our pleasure.
- Amber's, too.
- I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton,
and Ruby and I are off to uncover
some more interesting animal clips.
See you next time!
Can you wave bye?
Wave bye-bye?
'Sup, little guy?
