If an animal could talk, which would be the funniest with the best sense of humor?

Nothing bothers this animal and he can really dish it out in a dry humor or slapstick. I say donkeys, even their sound is like a laugh HEEEHAAAHEEEHAAAA

My current cat wasn’t around when I had my knee surgery. I’m sure he would’ve enjoyed playing on my disability.

It doesn't hurt them, but it startles them enough to make them stop what they're doing.

Pool noodles also work.

Dogs display a robust sense of humor as it is. Maybe it's best that that they remain non-verbal.

We're friends, and he always spares a few minutes to walk over to say hi when I stop by.

He hasn't demonstrated a great deal of humor yet - more a quiet wisdom.

Maybe I'll break the ice and crack a joke later today.
