Get your friends together.
The show is about to start.
We're bringing you,
some running rovers,
a few fidgeting felines,
some peeking pooches,
and laugh inducing laughs.
All this and more
on "World's Funniest Animals".
Welcome back to "World's Funniest Animals",
I'm your host Elizabeth Stanton.
And these are my curators Ruby and Hank.
They are great at their job.
Which is good news for you
because tonight's episode features
loads of new hilarious clips that you won't want to miss.
Today I'm joined by a few friends and panelists
as well as our celebrity guest Dan Sperry.
- Hey Liz thanks for having me.
Hi everyone I'm shock illusionist Dan Sperry
coming to you from Las Vegas
with my best friend Spike.
- Thanks guys.
So let's get right into it.
Is it just me or is there
a lot of pressure to stay in shape these days?
Every where we turn there's a new work out routine,
or supplement that we've got to have.
But it turns out the animal kingdom
is no different.
And our furry friends strive to stay in shape too.
Animals Exercising brought to you
with commentary from our first panelist
the hilarious comedian Neel Ghosh.
- Hey Liz happy to be here.
- Are you ready for a little animal exercise?
- Well don't keep me waiting for this long,
the suspense is killing me!
Ah hey man can you check on my delts?
You might be getting a workout,
I just really don't like this tire.
- Our next panelist is actor Carmen Hodgson.
- Ooh what clips do you have for me tonight Liz?
I'm so excited!
- This next clip features an animal work out partner.
I need a furry friend for my work outs.
- I can't! - Push up.

Yes you can.
Yes you can see look at that.
Look at you!
That's one.

Can't wait to see what we've got today.
- We have an owner working out
with their pet in this next clip.
- This has got to be good.
You think you can outstretch me?
You will be sorely mistaken.
- Even though this is World's Funniest Animals,
while we were searching the web for hilarious videos
to bring you, there were a few that were just too cute
to pass up.
No laughs about it,
this segment is Just Plain Cute.
- This cat has skills.
- Aw so cute!
- This dog just expects pets at every moment.
Get the water!
Oh is this a little pencil case?
Go back to school shopping?
- That is a fast kitten.
- I'm excited to introduce our celebrity guest,
to "World's Funniest Animals".
And I'm even more excited that they brought their pet.
In this case Las Vegas magician Dan Sperry,
has a pet who is also a lifelong coworker.
- Spike is a 16 year old umbrella cockatoo
and I've had him since he was about five months old.
And he can live to be upwards of 60 years old.
And over the years we've traveled all over the world
and met a lot of people,
encountered a lot of crazy things.
So we've got plenty of road stories,
isn't that right?
- Pets, performers or not, always love attention.
Does Spike know any tricks?
- He likes to give kisses.
He does a couple tricks.
You gonna play dead?
Okay ready?
Bang!
Oh and then he's dead?
Can you come back to life?
Okay now he's back to life,
he's come back to life.
That's a big boy!
Good job buddy!
- So I hear that Spike is a big fan of rock music.
You'll have to show us!
- He likes to listen to Rob Zombie,
especially when we're driving in the car.
When I'm backstage I usually set up two folding chairs
and let him fly the lengths of the hallways backstage.
And we have, we have a lot of fun.
- Thanks for stopping by and joining us Dan.
- Thanks for having me.
Thanks everybody.
We'll see you guys later.
- Pets working to get their owners' attention.
Coming up next on World's Funniest Animals.
No one likes to be ignored,
but these animals in our segment insist that you pay
attention to them at all times.
Some of these videos are absolutely hysterical.
Check them out.
Play with me.
- This new cat hat will keep you warm year round.
If we're going to continue to play this game,
we're going to definitely have to get you some deodorant.
- Aw, this is the sweetest alarm clock.
It looks so much fun.
Can I play?
Can I?
Come on, move over.
Never mind, I don't want to play anymore.
- I can't tell if this guy's the world's best gamer
who just really can't be distracted,
or the world's meanest owner.
Play with him!
- You want to go for a walk?
You want to go for a walk?
- You better have taken that dog on a walk.
- It's time for one of my favorite segments,
curious pets, where we see animals discovering
the world for the first time, and it's pretty dang cute.
Curious pets.
- Ah, cat's favorite pastime, hitting stuff.
- Here I am.
Now I'm not.
Oh, Hey, I'm back.
Peekaboo!
- This is how I would be, if I worked in a cubicle
at an office, hey guys.
What's for lunch?
We're out of creamer.
Hire me.

who just want to give some love?
These clips are just too precious.
- Yay a snow day!
- This is every dog's dream.
Sit.
Sit, sit.
- Well at least the boy's trained.
Sit.
- That's not fair, the kid didn't even get a treat.

- This is the most adorable wrestling match.
Look at that flow between each other.
Each know each other's moves.
- That is what you call a euphoric meal.
- Hank and Ruby are my best friends.
We do everything together.
However, I'm surprised I never thought of working out
with them.
These pets and their owners have figured it all out.
- I need to limber up, I have a walk plan for later on so.
- This is the only way I can get this woman to exercise.
- No we're gonna get there someday, I promise.
Oh never mind.
- And that pose earns you a kitty kiss.
- It almost looks like there's one dog and one person,
but just double.
- Are you feeling like you're all fluff?
Well we're gonna take you to the next step
and make you an alpha dog.
- Okay, this dog is like,
ah, I told you I wanted the blue one.
And one and two and three, come on, let's keep it going.
Now this is the kind of workout partner I want.
- It's very dangerous to do lunges on a wood floor in socks.
- Didn't say I wanted to kiss, all right?
I'm just lazy.

Welcome back let's jump right into the fan favorite segment,
Investigative animals,

One of my favorites.
- Hey mom, how do I have cat fur in my water?
- The cat's just like, hey, come on in.
It's warm in here, you can trust me.
- Now that is a thorough carwash.
- Yeah you gotta pay a lot extra for the cow tongue wash,
it's a delicacy.
- No matter how much tug of war or fetch you play,
it'll never be enough for some pets.
These clips are a prime example of that.
I will not be ignored.
- This kitten is like stay away from my woman,
I'll blend in with the cabinets.
So maybe he won't see me, if I..
Oh!
That's right, I got ya.
- Okay.
Oh my god!
- Oh my god!
- This goes from super cute to super scary real quick.
- Um, a little problem here.

but just in case you missed anything,
here's a quick recap of all of the funniest moments.
A collapsing cat, a curious cow, a workout drill dog,
rollicking red pandas, a devious Dalmatian,
a robbing retriever, and a couple who has managed
to turn their pets into workout equipment.
