The Planet's Funniest Animals (Animal Planet)

PLANET'S FUNNIEST ANIMALS is yet another iteration of America's Funniest Home Videos, which was funny for about an hour sometime in the late '80s and has gone consistently downhill since.

By now, there are apparently no new funny home videos of animals to be had. Thus, the videos shown here tend to be not so much funny as merely tired. If you've seen one small dog bait a large cat or attack a remote control truck, you've seen them all. The voiceover narration device only adds confusion for the very youngest viewers, who might not yet have seen a dog so determined to hang onto a ball that he or she can be picked up that way and theoretically could have been mildly entertained.

The humor is below the Beavis and Butt-Head level, the host (Matt Gallant) is annoying, the videos trite. With hundreds of channels at your disposal, there has to be something better on.
