No place in an encylopedia. Brownsnout spookfish (talk) 15:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Dynamic list with no definition of funny. Unmanagable and unencylopedic.   Chris  lk02  Chris Kreider 15:51, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unmanageable, for one thing, plus they didn't include Sassy the pug from America's Funniest Home Videos. :-) Hermione1980 16:20, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LC items 1-4 and 8-10. Stifle (talk) 16:37, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep--Serves as a supplement to the Anthropomorphism and funny animals articles, where the term is well defined. --Jmundo (talk) 17:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I kinda have to agree with Jmundo, there is an article at funny animal where the term is defined. JuJube (talk) 18:58, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Does anyone realize that Funny animal is actually a defined term and not just someone's interpretation of what's "funny"? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 20:20, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I do now! Sorry. Brownsnout spookfish (talk) 18:11, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wow, a list of animals arranged by the corporate identity. It's not really a list of funny animals, so much as it is a list of cartoon films and television shows grouped by animator, with only the title to suggest what type of animal they were.  For instance, contrary to popular belief, Cow and Chicken is not funny.  This is like making a list of popular zoo attractions from around the world, and saying "The San Diego Zoo has Mala and Kumquat and Ding-dong and Foofur."  Yes, I know it's been up for two years, but it was useless from the beginning.  Kill it and start over.  Mandsford (talk) 21:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Cow and Chicken not funny??? Sir, I take that as a personal insult!!! [[Image:718smiley.svg|20px]] MuZemike  ( talk ) 21:47, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Funny animal is a specific defined term, which has nothing to do with whether individual editors find any specific example humorous. The fact that some pro-deletion editors are mentioning real animals as examples when funny animal is a cartooning term shows they have not understood the topic at all.

 * We're not stupid. The arrangement of the list is stupid, but most of us figured out that this is a vague list of titles of shows that have talking animals, even if we don't normally use the phrase "funny animal" to describe the concept; it's kind of like calling the comics section of a newspaper the funny pages, something done by people who wear rubbers when it rains.  The article is uninformative and useless, however.  As the AOL Time Warner rabbit said, it took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.  Mandsford (talk) 23:38, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It's not really a list of animals at all. Brownsnout spookfish (talk) 18:14, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or thoroughly revise (no, I'm not volunteering!). As Brownsnout and Mandsford say, it's not really a list of animals. It's more the habitats of the fictional animals - their films etc. Peridon (talk) 19:57, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Funny animals:"cartooning term for the genre of comics and animated cartoons in which the main characters are humanoid or talking animals."--Jmundo (talk) 20:16, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Fair enough. A confusing expression, then. Perhaps there should be two lists - or none? Peridon (talk) 16:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Split or Delete The list in its current state is not meaningful since it does not only contain specific funny animals but also whole T.V. series, games, etc. Splitting is possible, but further complicated by the fact that some articles are about both the series and its main hero. --Shishigami (talk) 23:59, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
