04/08/09 - The Internet is an incredible place, and the amount of information made available online is astonishing. Of course, information is not the real purpose of the Internet. The Internet is here to amuse us, and what better way to amuse us than with funny animal videos?
Videos of animals being cute or funny are pretty much guaranteed to be amusing in some way and deep down everyone has a weakness for adorable animals. So here is a list of five of my favorite funny animal videos.
1. "Chimpanzee Riding On A Segway"
As the title clearly states, this is a video of a chimp riding on a Segway. Chimps doing human things are inherently funny- they just are. Also, Segways are pretty funny themselves, so the combination is pretty much a guaranteed laugh.
Plus, the chimp is dressed in overalls and wearing a helmet. What really makes the video is the accompanying song that is so incredible infectious that it will likely be stuck in your head for a week after hearing it.
2. "Bear Trampoline"
This video is an old one (but still funny) and is pretty much required viewing if you want to be on top of your Internet sensations. This is a video of a bear that became stuck in a tree. Animal control decided that the best course of action was to tranquilize the bear so it'd fall out of the tree and then land on a trampoline that they had set up.
I don't quite understand how this came to be the best solution, but it worked. The bear was okay despite the fact that it hit the trampoline, bounced high in the air, and then hit the ground.
This video also became a recurring gag on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" as the show would randomly play it.
3. "Exploding Whale"
This video does not feature an animal being cute or adorable. In fact, this video is pretty disgusting. Like the last video, this incident is the result of an odd method being used to solve an odd problem.
