The (All New) Planet's Funniest Animals is a United States television program featured on the Animal Planet cable channel. Following a similar format as America's Funniest Home Videos and others, the program shows a series of videos submitted by viewers featuring humorous and odd behavior by pets and animals that are played with a laugh track as there is no studio audience. The show was originally hosted by Animal Planet announcer Matt Gallant until 2005 and is now hosted by MADtv cast member Keegan-Michael Key. In 2005, there is a studio audience in this set.
A British version of the show was also created by Brad Lachman Productions with the same set, music and the same canned laughter. Hosted by GMTV's Richard Arnold, it is often shown on ITV1 and ITV2. The UK version has a few added features, such as a post bag, where viewers send in their funny stories, and they would be read out on the show.
