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.
this is so cool, im watching this just because of your characters as my family are thinking of naming our new dog after spanner (thats what we found one of them was called on a few websites)
I know your comment is a year old now, just love rewatching these clips. Thank you for your detailed story of how the interviews are done. Really interesting and funny to read it.
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.
@@biggestboss2968 certainly wasn't a bad film, but it was a bad *aardman* film because the CGI didn't really add anything and the writing wasn't up to the usual standards of their claymation work.
Thank you for asking, unfortunately it didn't work, I asked her if she remembers this, she hesitated and said yes, but then couldn't understand what was going on really. Her concentration is bad too, she flits from one thing to another, I may try again another time. It's really upsetting and so so sad when you see first hand. Thank you for asking guys, that's so lovely of you all.
@@jeffryandjefferson1659 Yeah it's all so heartbreaking, other family members try to forget she has it, I'd like to be the who tries to make a difference, I get told off often because she doesn't realise who I am and I'm trying to help. It's awful
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.
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
The cat and dog on the couch especially felt like the perfect human-to-animal matchup, they really do sound and feel like two house pets just mulling along with life together (Just noticed your comment is a year old, sorry for the notification lol)
That sounds a lot like my grandparents. Papaw would keep talking about how he never goes, and Mamaw would always say he never shuts up about it and whenever he does have a problem she tries to get him to go and he just shrugs it off
Coffee Cat I feel the same it's strangely relaxing plus it feels like some of the conversations could actually happen between animals. Not to mention everyone's voice is quite relaxed and like they're not reading a script which is really nice
i get what you mean, however: shaun the sheep is even 'simpler genius'. i watched a whole shaun the sheep film, then someone pointed out it had NO dialogue...... simples
@@ILoveLuhaidan Yeah, The Midnight Gospel is a groovy show - As with Creature Comforts, there's nothing else quite like it - And Duncan Trussel is just the right kindof trippy space-cat you want as your protagonist in that sort of show 😸_👍
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
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.

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
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.
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.
Genius idea. Interview real people, and use little plastic puppet animals to deliver the interview. It was and always will be wonderful! I remember this from decades ago.
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.
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.
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. #
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.
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 :’)
It's absolutely incredible how much character and life they brought to these animals with just voice acting and very limited animation. Some of my favourite animation work ever.
It's not actors voice overs. They are the publics voices. They are asked questions on a theme, the replies are then matched with the animated characters.
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 😅
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.
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.
The woman that you have turned into the guide dog is just fabulous isn’t she? Such a beautiful attitude and that infectious laugh is irresistible ❤😂😂 1:48:27 and this pigeon. I just love this little guy. Thanks for creating him too. Perfection.
That would be fantastic. There are a couple of videos of folks being interviewed on Creature Comforts channel! It would be neat to see them side by side.
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!
I was just watching reviews of "Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl" and this came up in my feed. I completely forgot about these great shorts!! Here in Canada, the CBC would occasionally air them some nights and I could _never_ get enough. ❤❤❤
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 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.
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.
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!!
I cannot believe this compiled video exists. I found this show as a kid, and even though I haven't watched it for years, for some reason I still think about this series a lot...
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! 🤣😄
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
This stop motion style has been such a joy to grow up with Wallace and gromit to morph to chicken run , I even enjoyed the CGI flushed away as it kept the charm of the style
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'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
It's funny the lioness is most likely very fearsome but her voice is quite calming and soothing like you could put a baby with her and you could trust her not to eat it and in fact even take care of it
Lol I love how the person holding the microphone is always trembling when near the lioness.
Ironically, she wasn't that threatening at all (or at least in the circus episode).
And also holding the chair as well
In the vet's office the chairs are all overturned because everyone bolted when they saw the lioness.
@@e-mananimates2274 I dunno! She licks her lips after mentioning cows.
@Mark Nelson
Well, wouldn't you savor just a sliver of beef? At least she doesn't appear to have a taste for humans.
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.
Lmao man thats an amazing story
this is so cool, im watching this just because of your characters as my family are thinking of naming our new dog after spanner (thats what we found one of them was called on a few websites)
Underrated comment
I know your comment is a year old now, just love rewatching these clips. Thank you for your detailed story of how the interviews are done. Really interesting and funny to read it.
With the length and how this comment is put i could see why they would ask you to be a part of basically a podcast

Flushed Away wasn't great and abandoned the claymation for claymation-imitation CGI. It's probably best nobody remembers it.

When Interveiwing a lioness: (shakes like a leaf)
When 5 inches into a crocodile's mouth: (not a single shiver)
The interviewer clearly has a selective fear of death, which means they can be an understandable coward one minute and a badass the next.
I think that's because of what he's doing with the hand we _don't_ see. 😈
Its all in the little details.
a crocodile is more predictable and less flexible in the situation than the lioness. i would be shitting my pants either way tho
@@emmettbattle5728 cross r surprisingly flexible and quick.
We don't deserve Aardman.
They're the reason and company why I love the art of Stop-Motion.
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.
Working animals makes it pretty obvious what the question is tho

Everything about 'em just screams '30 years deep into a marriage' 😹_👍
I'd be surprised if they're still together! 🙈😄 I think the flower pot rats are an adorable couple! 🥰
“I never go t de doctor, ye know....”.
“Ye never shut up bout it neither”
These guys are priceless
That sounds a lot like my grandparents. Papaw would keep talking about how he never goes, and Mamaw would always say he never shuts up about it and whenever he does have a problem she tries to get him to go and he just shrugs it off
I think they’re my favorite couple in the series!

"I am a clinical trial."
The amount of British sardonicism in this series is off the charts!
I found it particularly hilarious when they have all these aquatic, water-breathing animals talking as if they were human swimmers and vacationers.
its actually real interviews with normal people that they make into different characters, which makes it so much more interesting and impressive
its very funny that the shark and dolphin are voiced by people who have a fear of the sea

Yea that movie sucks
@@joeelliott4820 It wasn’t even about a “secret” life of pets, it was about a bland default hero action movie for kids.
I'm still impressed by how perfectly they match the animal and it's appearance to the voices.
You can tell which bits of dialogue gave creators the brainwave as to which animal the person is going to be 😂
I love that! They mention one thing, and you can almost hear the spark go off in the animators' heads 😄

It would be interesting to see a split-screen with the original members of the Public being interviewed.
That would be fantastic. There are a couple of videos of folks being interviewed on Creature Comforts channel! It would be neat to see them side by side.
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!
I was just watching reviews of "Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl" and this came up in my feed. I completely forgot about these great shorts!! Here in Canada, the CBC would occasionally air them some nights and I could _never_ get enough. ❤❤❤
I am fortunate to be Precious the Piranha in the Pets at the Vets episode.
Must have been a good time
41:12 The dog and the blue cat are one of my favourite characters. Love the little laugh :D
Mine too. 😊👍
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 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.
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.
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!!
It would be HILARIOUS these days. You’d have gay monkeys, trans sheep, and non binary lions. 😂
Yuck
58:46 I really love that the cat and dog won't sell each other and they both aww is so adorable
I cannot believe this compiled video exists. I found this show as a kid, and even though I haven't watched it for years, for some reason I still think about this series a lot...
I’m so glad to see this show again. So fun and relaxing to watch.
This is pure art. Genius. 62 now, 1st time I've seen this. Thank you Creators ....
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
I like the dog and the cat, their voices are so relaxing and I just love the voices
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! 🤣😄
34:13 Funny and hilarious 😂😂
My personal favourite is the seal. The voice is absolutely perfect for a seal!
That hamster gets some of the best material...
Yeah
Fish
Richard ayoade!
Smoked some Cannabis and watched the first episode. Will watch more! Funny and touching.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Come to Jesus Christ today
Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
Probably once every seven months I come back to watch this and Season 2 I can’t get enough of it
This stop motion style has been such a joy to grow up with Wallace and gromit to morph to chicken run , I even enjoyed the CGI flushed away as it kept the charm of the style
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.
That racing dog cracks me up every time 😂
I will never get sick of watching these. Theres always something new to catch during multiple watches. I truly hope more of these are made one day!
I'm gonna be crushed when I finish bingeing this series, I can already feel it.
As clever and funny as ever. The bears in tutus kill me, especially the one in the back doing arabesques.
"If you had six legs where would your arse be?" So profound.
Stop motion will always be timeless.
Yeah, timeless. I agree with you. 😊👍
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
can say that my favourite is the seal guy, hes so cheery and loves his job man 😭
1:43 I love the detail of the shaking microphone hand in the lion interview!
It's funny the lioness is most likely very fearsome but her voice is quite calming and soothing like you could put a baby with her and you could trust her not to eat it and in fact even take care of it
So happy to have stumbled back upon this program! Brings a huge smile to my face! Many thanks❤ 2:58
Those two baby birds have shaped the way I say the word "Dirt" for probably the rest of my life :)
We really need another one of these, Creature Comforts was amazing and still is!
The closest we came to another show like this was the show "animals"
It’s crazy to think this was released on the year I was born. I’m really glad I discovered this show, it truly is comforting🙏
We love every millisecond. It’s impossible to hold back our laughter. Love the owl and god bless the lab mice!
Just rewatching these now.
Work of utter comic genius😂😂😂
the dog and stick insects roasting one another has me cackling!
I've never seen this before and it is pure joy. Thank you.
That sceptical about life, slightly depressed brown dog is my absolute fovourite :D
The Lioness's voice for the doctor one was perfect
Aardman is such a good studio that deserves more recognition
i love love this series. i wish more tv shows were this comforting
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.
This series is one of the most British things ever
Aardman need to bring this back it’s just so good
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.
12:30 i love how that dog in the back is scared of the clown
Thank you Nick. No matter how down I am, I can look at these and laugh.
