- [Elizabeth] You don't wanna miss this.
We've got cuddling cuties, a munching monkey,
an enraged elephant, fabulous fetchers,
and a guy who's seen one too many Hitchcock movies.
All this today and more,
right here on World's Funniest Animals.
Hello and welcome to World's Funniest Animals
the one-stop shop for all of your funny animal needs.
I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton.
Joined today by my partners in crime, Hank and Ruby,
as well as our awesome panelists,
Daniel, Carmen, Devon, and Anna.
And we're off.
One of the many perks of having a pet is unlimited cuddles.
So grab your pet and get comfy. It's snuggle time.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Well, I gotta ask, is it really love
or is it just in-cat-uation?
Only time will tell.
(calm music)
(audience laughing)
- Aw, that's so sweet.
But like at a certain point, I'd definitely be like,
thanks for all the love and affection,
but just petting my face? Bad for my skin.
Can you stop? (audience laughing)
(funky music)
(audience laughing)
- At what age do cats turn from cuddle bugs to monsters
that push everything off the counters?
(audience laughing) (lively music)
- You can teach an old dog new tricks.
Apparently snuggling is one of them.
(lively music continues) (audience laughing)
(laughter continues)
- Ooh yeah, I've been there.
She's sound asleep in dreamland, and there I am, wide awake.
Remember this. Don't drink espresso after dinner.
- I can't wait for this next segment.
I'm almost as excited as the animals in Jump for Joy.
(upbeat music)
(woman laughing)
- My generation is set up to be single forever.
Our parents gave us nonstop attention.
Then we moved out and got dogs that treat us like royalty.
Our standards and perceptions of what love
is basically unobtainable.
(lively music) (audience laughing)
- Someday this cat will tell his grandkids how he fought
that giant green monster with 1000 arms and won.
(relaxed music) (audience laughing)
- This is pretty much everyone's reaction
to seeing snow for the first time.
But after you go through about 20 odd winters,
you wind up getting the opposite reaction.
- I had a similar experience,
except it was playing football growing up,
and that's why when you see me on TV,
it isn't playing football.
(relaxed music continues) (audience laughing)
(person laughing)
(audience laughing)
- What possible evolutionary advantage is there
to ears that constantly slap you in the face?
- Do I have my own favorite animal clips?
Yes. Lots of them.
And here are just a few.
All right, so we're witnessing the birth
of a new canine Olympic sport, sky jumping.
Works in snow, hail, and rain.
I say we got some gold medal potential here.
(playful music)
I know I'm a primate.
I'm millions of years of evolution ahead
of this dumb feline, but I just can't help it.
I love him, okay?
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
Wow. Talk about rugged wild West.
In these parts, even bears drive a pickup.
Next up, we take flight and disappear.
We'll be right back. (audience laughing)
You're watching World's Funniest Animals
and I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton.
In this next segment,
I'm gonna take this episode to new heights.
This segment is for our feathered friends.
Here's Taking Flight. (lively music)
(audience laughing)
- You know, this would be one of the many perks
of being able to fly?
But talk about bird brain. How did they not see that coming?
(cockatoo exclaiming)
(audience laughing)
(cockatoo exclaiming)
(audience laughing)
(cockatoo exclaiming)
(audience laughing)
- Oh, yes. Fitness freaks do love their spin class.
(lively music continues)
(audience laughing)
- Great. First, I was worried about AI taking all our jobs,
but now we have bird dentists.
(energetic music)
(audience laughing)
- Okay, hear me out.
We have restaurants that serve food on roller skates
or purposely rude waiters.
What about we just get this bird to serve all the meals?
Start off as a food truck, then a restaurant,
then we train a whole flock of them to start franchising.
(claps) Woo!
(invigorating music)
(man shouting)
- I've never played tag with a bird.
(man shouting)
(bird tweeting) (audience laughing)
- Think only human magicians have the ability to disappear?
Think again,
as we watch pets do their very own Vanishing Act.
(lively music)
(audience laughing)
- This looks like me when I hear the doorbell ring.
Nope. I'll just hide behind the couch
and act like nobody's home.
Unless it's something I ordered online,
then I'm sprinting to the door.
(eerie music)
(audience laughing)
- Ooh, that cat's saying,
"Is that crazy Rottweiler asleep yet?
Nope. Easy does it.
I'll give him a few more minutes
and then I'll sneak in and eat his food."
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
- Oh. Hi human. Don't mind me.
Just, you know, separating the laundry.
It's better if it's an inside job.
(calm music)
(audience laughing)
- Cats will literally use anything as a
toy except cat toys.
- [Elizabeth] Coming up next, wildlife in the backyard
with the gullible and the guilty.
Stick around.
You're watching World's Funniest Animals,
and I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton.
In this next segment, we all love a good meal,
but for our pets, it's the highlight of their day.
Nothing gets them more excited than food,
so let's jump right into Feeding Frenzy.
(lively music)
- The squirrel's thinking,
"As long as I eat all the evidence,
they'll never know I got ahold of their phone
and ordered this."
(playful music)
(audience laughing)
- [Woman] Your crazy eyes.
(plate rattling) (woman laughing)
- This is the epitome of dining and dashing
or feeding and falling.
(audience laughing) (peaceful music)
- [Daniel] The official food tester
has to sample every meal first before the prince,
just to be sure it's safe.
(audience laughing)
The royal family must be very protective of their young son.
(peaceful music continues)
After all, this is the next heir to the throne
we're talking about.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(dog chomping)
- For the most part,
we like to think our pets are perfect angels,
but sometimes we catch them red-handed misbehaving
and they're busted.
(energetic music)
(audience laughing)
- Ma'am, this is a union work site.
You're gonna have to step back and let me do my job.
(whimsical music)
(audience laughing)
- [Man] You two proud? Yeah?
Oh!
You know what you've done.
And you. Look at you.
- Boston PD. We know you ate the cat bed.
Put your paws where we can see them.
For real though, that guy has the strongest Boston accent.
(cheerful music)
(audience laughing)
- This dog looks like,
"Yeah, I ate my bed and I'd do it again.
Look how big yours is. That's why I'm on it."
(cheerful music continues)
(audience laughing)
- No, they all abandoned him.
Guys, this is not how you pull off a heist.
Look how sad he is that they ousted him.
- Like I said, I have tons of faves
when it comes to funny animal clips.
Here's some more.
Uh-oh. Something tells me this isn't Valentine's Day
and these aren't white rose petals.
(audience laughing)
That's not snow either.
Hmm.
Aha. Down feather pillow. Of course.
Well, at least he's outside.
Okay. All seems quiet here.
I guess I can finally just relax.
(cat crashing)
He gets me every time. (audience laughing)
- Peekaboo. - [Woman] Peekaboo.
Okay. Peekaboo.
(parrot caws)
- Peekaboo. - [Woman] Peekaboo.
- [Elizabeth] Uh-huh. Impressive.
- [Woman] Peekaboo.
- Peekaboo. - [Woman] Ooh.
- [Elizabeth] I don't see how he's going
to do the whole thing.
You know, covering his eyes with his feet though.
(parrot chitters)
Coming up next, bears, elephants, and
so many silly dogs.
You're watching World's Funniest Animals
and I'm your host, Elizabeth Stanton.
Now it's time to take a walk on the wild side.
Here's a Wild Life.
(relaxing music)
(audience laughing)
(laughter continues)
- Yeah, they always say these machines
are easy for beginners.
Then you find out you can't cancel that gym membership.
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(motorcycle crashing) (audience laughing)
- To be fair, that is a no parking zone
from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, so he's just doing his job.
(upbeat music continues)
(audience laughing)
(laughter continues)
- Oh my god, he's so polite.
He's just timidly wondering, like,
"Hey, guys, is it okay if I take this?"
"Well, nobody said anything.
I'm just gonna snatch it and go on my way."
And he only took one. He could have used that bin
like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
He's honest. You don't see that these days.
(lively music continues)
(audience laughing)
(laughter continues)
- I can't tell if the lion is pushing a car
that's out of gas or attempting to eat the car
not knowing it's a vehicle.
- It's time to cool off and enjoy the water.
Here's our next segment, Splish Splash.
This guy just became the talk of the town
amongst all the dogs.
Did you hear about Greg?
Yeah. The stick was like, 14 feet long.
Guy is a legend.
(audience laughing)
(upbeat music)
(audience laughing)
(laughter continues)
- Ah, dancing in the rain, an all-time classic.
Glad this cat is a fan.
(cheerful music)
(dog barks)
- It's the newest thing for pet tooth and gum hygiene,
doggy water pick.
And boy, does it leave your mouth tingly clean.
(lighthearted music)
(audience laughing)
- There's always that one friend
who is slightly more athletic.
Don't worry, little guy, you still made it in there
and you're braver than me.
I don't do lakes. I'll stick to the beach.
- Well, that's almost did for us,
but in case you missed anything along the way,
here's a quick recap of all of our funniest moments.
We had cranky cats, disastrous dives, a snacking squirrel,
a bear at a buffet, a convicted canine,
laundry loungers, flipping fowl,
and a den of lion's wrangling road service.
(energetic music) (audience laughing)
Thanks so much to our great panel
and thank you for tuning in.
I'm Elizabeth Stanton.
We'll see you next time on World's Funniest Animals.
