After grieving, funny videos with chickens or goats?

September 7, 2017 6:08 AM

A dear friend had to euthanize her elderly pet this week, and will need plenty time to be sorrowful. When she's ready to smile though, I'd love to send her a video or two that would give a guaranteed laugh.

She absolutely loves chickens and goats and I'd love to forward a little trove of videos for her to check out if she feels the inclination. Do you have any favorites to share?

Best answer: I can't imagine anyone who's into goats hasn't seen the original fainting goats video, but still, it's here.

Reporter scared by chicken is not a cute video, but a funny one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AdrmfjAhn0

Heather Champ and Derek Powazek run Milk Barn Farm; they have goats and chickens [and turkeys and puppies] and their Instagram accounts are full of videos of their menagerie's hilarious antics.

Yodelmaster Takeo Ischi has a wonderful chicken-themed song and the video features loads of chickens!

This is still one of my favorite Vines EVER, and would be even if it didn't have a funny goat in it.

Best answer: My go-to Emergency Relief Videos are Goats Yelling Like Humans, pt1 and pt2. Like, I have watched each of these 50 times, easily, and I still become completely unhinged when the man starts arguing with the goat, even when I am deeply unhappy.

Not goats or chickens, but seriously, Baby Monkey (Going Backwards on a Pig) is an absolute classic and puts a smile on every face!

Not a chicken, but a duck...well, a fake duck... well, an army of fake ducks that makes me laugh-cry every time I watch (listen).

Holy Night (Goat Edition) is a favorite around here. It never gets old and I laugh every time.
