I was one of the voices in this and series 2, I was the white dog in the skip, my mate Dave was the brown dog in the skip, we were just sat in a pub in London one day, and these women sat next to us just asked us, out of the blue, if we wanted to be on telly as Creature Comforts animals, (we had seen the Creature Comforts adverts before) so here is exactly "how it worked", we arranged to meet up at my home for a "trial?" recording, there was NO SCRIPT to this either, we were just bombarded with a load of questions that got increasingly more bizarre , (you NEVER hear the questions in the finished television version) and the more bizarre the questions become, the more bizarre the answers were, here is an example, of how they got me to say, "exactly the sort of comment they were looking for" Q have you done any travelling A (me) quite a bit Q where is your favourite destination, A Iceland, Q why Iceland A its kinda really remote Q what about going to the toilet there A well, you have to kinda go outside Q and is that what you did A yes Q can you be a bit more specific A I've defecated outside, of course I have, you know what I mean 1:34:08 "BINGO, we'll have that one liner on telly NO PROBLEM" (they caught Dave out, "owning up to scavenging food from supernarket bins" THAT went on the telly too, LOL). the best part about this was, after this "trial?" recording, I had basically no recollection of anything that I actually said in it, as it was just "so random", LOL, just before the trial recording, me and Dave had to sign something too, "we probably didnt read that either" LOL, a few weeks later, we were told that we had been selected to be featured in the Creature Comforts series, BUT, they hadnt decided what sort of creatures we would be, a couple of weeks before the series stated, we were told what creatures we would be, and sent a photo of our characters, they made Dave look exactly like his pet dog, that was with us in the pub, at that very first encounter, we were also told, which episodes we would be appearing in, I told my old man to look out for these episodes on the telly, and he told his work mates, I remember exactly where I was, when I heard my "crapping outside" comment, I was on the sofa at my girlfriends, her teenage daughter was watching this too, and I said something before it started like "my old man has told all of his workmates that I'm in this weeks episode", as soon as I heard "MY comment" about "crapping outside" I just put my head in my hands, my girlfriend found it "totally hilarious" saying something like, "you have probably made about 2 MILLION people laugh about that" at that point in time, I was employed as a delivery driver, for an organic food shop, so quite a few of my delivery customers heard THAT too, this was after they had heard Dave owning up to scavenging food from supermarket bins too, our characters were also "immortalised"(LOL) on the Creature Comforts "commemorative mug" and on the Creature Comforts birthday card too.

Lol I love how the person holding the microphone is always trembling when near the lioness.

I'm going to show my Grandmother this, she used to love it, her memory is bad and I think it would maybe trigger some happy memories, fingers crossed.

Aardman really are one of the few great British exports we have left. An institution that has never sold itself out nor outsourced itself in its entirety, and is always a bastion of quality. I don't think they've ever even really made anything bad. And now they do this for us. Post an entire works in one video, just for us. SELDOM does any other accomplished entertainment entity do that- if anyone else does it for them, it gets taken down for copyright infrignement. Thank you, Aardman. And Dead Parrot prod. whilst we're at it.

If there was any show that defined the phrase "simple genius" this was it.

When Interveiwing a lioness: (shakes like a leaf) When 5 inches into a crocodile's mouth: (not a single shiver)

the old twitchy police dog that's CLEARLY seen too much action was so brilliantly animated

The thing I love about Creature Comforts is that the animals, scenarios and locations are chosen so well that it's hard to figure out what the interviewees were talking about in the first place.

We don't deserve Aardman. They're the reason and company why I love the art of Stop-Motion.

The dog and the cat on the couch have a very adorable implied relationship. Yes, I know the audio was from actual interviews with people and those people are likely a couple, but I just think it's cute. And also, the way they are animated and designed really gives an implication of their relationship

“I never go t de doctor, ye know....”. “Ye never shut up bout it neither” These guys are priceless

I can't explain it but listening to this is just so relaxing.

British Humor has always been my favorite, just the casual feel of it and the ease of telling a joke

I remember forcing my dad to buy this dvd, He did. I didnt understand a thing that was happening but my dad would not stop pissing himself with laughter

I love the scene when the lioness is in the vet’s waiting room. The chaotic scene of everyone having just bolted out of the room.

I adore this show, the British public are fantastic.

0:00 The Circus 8:44 Pets at the Vet’s 17:28 Working Animals 26:13 The Sea 34:58 The Garden 43:43 Feeding Time 1:36:10 The Beach 52:28 Pet Shop 1:01:11 What’s It All About? 1:09:56 Being a Bird 1:18:41 Is There Anyone Out There? 1:27:25 Cats or Dogs? 1:44:54 Merry Christmas

I found it particularly hilarious when they have all these aquatic, water-breathing animals talking as if they were human swimmers and vacationers.

11:54 these guys are SO GOOD at matching voices and characters haha

20:54, 21:58, 24:30 that bloody greyhound gets me EVERY TIME 😂

23:48 - 24:19 is exactly why I want to go into the animation industry, no matter what. If I'm doing art of some kind, what am I supposed to do in life? I honestly don't know.

This show should have won awards every year, regardless of whether a new series was made. It is magnificent. Nothing has ever come close. Thank you Nick Park.

"I am a clinical trial." The amount of British sardonicism in this series is off the charts!

Eureka, Gromit! I’ve just discovered the secret to animal communications!

You know, as I watch this, I am getting the feeling that the set decorator had a lot of fun with the props. The one I noticed was at 11:26, the poster to the right of the Lioness has a interesting product for sale.

I was in this show as a kid, I've never been so excited for anything, absolutely classic show

100x better than secret life of pets m8

I’m a very sentimental person, but nothing hits me like Aardman. The amount of adoration I have for this show and Wallace and Gromit is enormous

I never realised just how short these were, but I always remembered wanting another episode. I suppose that is the sign of a good series, one where you enjoy it enough to be wanting more.

You can tell which bits of dialogue gave creators the brainwave as to which animal the person is going to be 😂

It would be interesting to see a split-screen with the original members of the Public being interviewed.

That hamster gets some of the best material...

I love the things that happen in the background.

Watching this gives me the most Christmassy feeling.. I remember this being on tv when I was a little kid and ever since then I just associate this show with curling up on Christmas Eve.. such a warm feeling :’)

British humour is just one of the many reasons why I love the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I can't tell if it's scripted or genuine interviews with people and spoofed over with clay animation. But I love it; used to watch it all the time as a kid at my great grandma's house.

I love how the microphone hand is shaking when they're interviewing a dangerous animal.

58:46 I really love that the cat and dog won't sell each other and they both aww is so adorable

I remember when I was little, When we used to go up north to see my grandparents, I’d always ask my granny to watch this on the telly, She’d always laugh and put it on for me as I sat by the fireplace, Good times.

41:12 The dog and the blue cat are one of my favourite characters. Love the little laugh :D

I absolutely love this series. I bought the DVD years ago and lost it. So happy it’s on KZfaq now.

For those who are not brits like me , great part of the fun is the accent, and even more when english is not my first language

The hard-as-nails, seen-it-all police dog at 19:30 is absolute gold!! 😂🤣 *Edit - also the bit at 34:14 where the shark playfully headbuts the glass, bwahahaha! 🤣😄

Man, Aardman, you guys are the absolute best.

This series is incredible, the amount of work and effort put into every interview is astonishing. Each set is filled with little details and beautifully crafted, not to mention the claymation, it must take ages to put out a single episode of this show 😅

Just the most brilliant idea anyone has ever come up with. And superbly executed too. Pitch this to someone in 2 sentences or less and I guarantee you 2 things: They will be interested, and it will be even better than they imagined.

I love claymation. Claymation combined with the dry English humor is great! If you look at the facial expressions, it matches the voice overs perfectly. Just imagine the millions of stop-go motions they have to do. This is true artistry and cinematic. I prefer this a million times over a Star Wars type CGI movie. Great job. Keep it up. This is much better than the typical American tripe which passes for cinematic “art.” I’m American but in this genre, the English are much better than Hollywood’s pampered cretins.

This show literally is my happy place when I was a kid being bullied, abused and such.. I always come to it to relax and like, go into myself and allow myself to become a child a little. I feel a sense of soloum and enjoy it. Like, I feel soo much more happier and at peace with life... Thank you AArdman for everything

Brilliant creative concept, superb execution, with voices matching creatures perfectly. Congratulations to all involved ~ these shows have given my household many years of enjoyment and laughter. We admire you greatly. #

One of my all-time favourite animated series. Love the simple conversations and accents.

Used to love watching this when I was younger, makes you wonder how many of these voices are still with us and who has since passed.

I think this show is about 20 odd years old, I remember it when I was younger, I can really appreciate it now - thank you so much for uploading it. Just imagine if it was brought back now, because so much has changed in Britain in the past 2 decades, can you imagine what these creatures will rabbit (excuse the pun) on about??? The show would never end!!

1:06:45 This really does show how everyday people don’t even have the slightest understanding of what natural selection is and why things evolved.

That racing dog cracks me up every time 😂

The first time I met Aardman was randomly catching the gorilla in the zoo on TV. We’ve been devotees ever since, but I never knew about all these Creature Comforts videos. This is a fantastic resource.

Dude, I need to constantly remind myself that this is stop motion animation and not your generic 3D CGI animation. Man, look at the coffee at 36:34!

38:12 that squirrel falling out of the tree though

12:30 i love how that dog in the back is scared of the clown

I'm 20 yo and people my age got better things to do but I'm just here finding comfort in these stop motion animations. My respect for the creating crew for making it so seamless and smooth and the VAs did such a fantastic job putting on the characters of the animal. I would definitely show my kids these in the future instead of any other kids show, these are really soothing and calm to look at

"If you had six legs where would your arse be?" So profound.

omg i wish i would’ve discovered this show earlier :( it’s so cute! especially the little birds at the beginning of the second episode :3

4:27 - I really do appreciate this puppy’s extreme fear of clowns. I also never really liked clowns ever since I was ten years old.

I genuinely love these creature comfort shorts, it’s not just the direct animation but the little subtle moments just off from the main character. Wonderful and just absolutely brilliant!

I like the dog and the cat, their voices are so relaxing and I just love the voices

BRING BACK CREATURE COMFORTS PLEEEEEASEEEEE! I wouldn't care if was just a celebrity special one off. Creature Comforts should be in every kids childhood as it was in mine.

I am fortunate to be Precious the Piranha in the Pets at the Vets episode.

Brilliant. These Creature Comforts are like watching The Office recast with zoo animals.

Stop motion will always be timeless.

The dog and cat duo were so passive aggresive I love them.

That sceptical about life, slightly depressed brown dog is my absolute fovourite :D

1:43 I love the detail of the shaking microphone hand in the lion interview!

36:54 had me in stiches lol I really wish I could see the original interview footage to know what they were actually blowing at

Dont know what I would do without Creature Comforts, good times, bad times, they are my constant go to when I need to be surrounded by the best! Bravo to you for creating one of the most amazing, hilarious, ingeneous shows of all time.

Dear Creature Comforts, I can't tell you how very much I enjoy your marvelous creations! No matter how often I watch them, they always put me in a good mood. (I do feel sorry for the little hamster in his cage.) I think you are geniuses, and each character is brilliantly made. How wonderful it would be if we really could speak to the animals. These are certainly very intelligent, but so are real animals. We could learn quite a bit and hopefully develop more compassion towards them. Thank you for all the work you put in and for the well-chosen voices! Best wishes and regards to you and all the viewers!

We really need another one of these, Creature Comforts was amazing and still is!

This series is one of the most British things ever

As clever and funny as ever. The bears in tutus kill me, especially the one in the back doing arabesques.

can say that my favourite is the seal guy, hes so cheery and loves his job man 😭

i used to watch this show when i was much younger late at night when I was supposed to be sleeping. the nostalgia of it all.

I’m so glad to see this show again. So fun and relaxing to watch.

the dog and stick insects roasting one another has me cackling!

Those two baby birds have shaped the way I say the word "Dirt" for probably the rest of my life :)

43:26 those birds are so cute!😭

I don't know why but I like this type of voice acting it's relaxing and it just seems natural

Probably once every seven months I come back to watch this and Season 2 I can’t get enough of it

Thank you Nick. No matter how down I am, I can look at these and laugh.

I would have loved to meet the lady who voiced the service dog. She just brings so much unbridled joy to each episode!

3:42 this man spitting straight facts

The hamster sounds like Richard Ayoade - am I the only one who hears this? This is so nostalgic though! My grandmother had the dvd boxset of this and we would watch it every time I visited her. Then I would always borrow one of the dvds to watch at home with my parents

Oh I LOVED this show when they started airing it on BBCA! The wall-eyed service dog is my favorite. She's a bit special herself.

I've never seen this before and it is pure joy. Thank you.

Just rewatching these now. Work of utter comic genius😂😂😂

Aardman need to bring this back it’s just so good

Haven't seen this in years, and remember it so well from when I was a little kid. Absolutely love this show, so good.

Smoked some Cannabis and watched the first episode. Will watch more! Funny and touching.

We love every millisecond. It’s impossible to hold back our laughter. Love the owl and god bless the lab mice!

The Lioness's voice for the doctor one was perfect

30:03 Is that just a normal penguin? Or could it be... FEATHERS MCGRAW

why was this in my recommendations lmao this is actually so cool n cute

This show was everything to me growing up
