Craig's Cat Joke Crackup

Craig makes himself cry with laughter while attempting to tell "The Funniest Joke Ever Told In The History of Horse-Man Television." From The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Apr 8, 2013. (Note: Craig tweeted about this vid on April 9 1013: / 321652303578943488
"Rule 1 for comedians. Don't laugh at your own jokes lest you end up looking like this asshat. #unprofessional t.co/lOL3fT0nDv") (Note #2: For anyone who wants to whine and complain about the word "cat" in the title, just know I'm probably going to delete the comment, then block you for being the kind of dick that would whine and complain about the title of a youtube video. "Cat" isn't a spoiler, and in no way diminishes anyone's enjoyment of this particular clip. It's really not about the cat at all. It's about the journey.)

The fact that Craig nearly dies from his own joke before he tells it means it's gonna be EPIC.

[@bigoldinosaur]

sahiblindberg Eeyup.

[@kiesersozay1717]

The best late night host ever.

[@dylanakent]

God I miss this show!

[@TheVidaddict]

He was right, it was worth it. People say its a stupid joke but there something so honestly funny about it. I can understand why Craig went so hysterical. Cat owners would get its hilarity.

[@stephenmarino6753]

okay, stupidest joke with the best ever delivey line, EVER!!!

[@mxaguile]

When I first saw this, I was sitting my living room laughing my head off because Craig was losing it, and when he finally got to the punchline I was like, "That's it?" Then the next day I was thinking about it for a long time, and I realized it was pretty damn funny, and I laughed until I cried.

[@wickedrocketelvispel]

I think watching Craig laugh for 45 minutes would be the best show ever!

[@lilliancarilo]

I can't stop watching this. Love that @CraigyFerg!

[@TheFred3733]

And I for one appreciate 1) that you take the time to upload these videos, and b) that you take the extra time to monitor the comments for 'trolls'. A thousands blessings on you!

[@trishabullock2471]

If a man ever needed his desk! What a lovely man! Thanks so much bgrhubarb for posting this so quickly, this is the first time I've been able to post after watching it for laughing/crying!

[@Captain-Palsy]

I miss Him Already

[@the1realanalogman]

I felt so much more in balance before they left the show!

[@kakashibnl7984]

I must be missing something behind that cat joke lol, i love this man so much :)

[@Willhellmine]

I love this man

[@twiwonder]

Oh, Craig. I love ya. This is totally me... almost /every/ time I tell a joke.

[@singingfan]

he is so fucking cute! love Craigy!!

[@cathompsonhayes]

what episode is that from?

[@husher5142]

all individuals on tv wear makeup it's part of the biz

[@nickcage5655]

haaaaaaaa!!!!

[@lilliancarilo]

At our house, the night of this airing shall forever be known as Cat Night. #goodtimes!

[@YouJustGotAnimated]

Omfg, Craig has tears in his eyes after telling the stupidest fucking joke. I love it!

[@jamiedetwiler7261]

+YouJustGotAnimated that's what makes it so amazing lol

[@wreck-it-ralph4616]

It's stupid moments like this that make me miss him

[@AlixxA7X]

That was a horrible joke but I laughed so much at this video ahahaha God I miss this show.

[@nut9800]

Did Craig just cry from laughing 😃

[@pepoferguson2108]

"I love this joke" Hahaha, I love it when he makes himself laugh. These moments of total laughter breakdown is so from the heart and I love that he is allowed to do it and that he allows himself to do it. Most of the times it seems he realises the stupidity in the moment and that cracks him up.

[@Vyselink]

Completely agree. Craig is definitely the realest of the late night talk show hosts. The only one that gives him a run for his money is Fallon.

[@PerthTowne]

It's so funny when Craig just breaks down in uncontrollable laughter. Doesn't matter why he's laughing, it's his laughing that's hilarious. I could watch this again and again.

[@PerthTowne]

PerthTowne Haven't watched this in a year. But still cracks me up. I really miss Craig.

[@Celon.]

It's genuine laughter , that's why it's funny.

[@shortbuskenieval1490]

The joke is so stupid! That's what makes it hilarious!

[@182times]

The transcript of this is almost as funny as the video. Hey. I don't give a fuck. Thatcher was famous for saying: if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman. Now that’s true but I would like to add if you want absolutely nothing said or done… *giggles* I love this joke. *giggles* If you want nothing said… *giggles* It’ll be worth it. *giggles* Nah this’ll be great. It’ll be great. *giggles* It’ll be fine. *giggles* Do you know this joke? (It’s a great joke, man.) Alright. *giggles* If you want… for god’s sake man be a professional. If you want ehh something ehh what is it? If you want something said ask a man. If you want something done ask a woman. And if you want absolutely nothing said or done… ask a cat.

[@JuDo-013]

Well done, I salute you!

[@Gidget521]

"It'll be worth it!"

[@burkepota]

I own two cats so I can tell you... I laugh and cried at this one too! LOL!

[@allenh318]

still funnier than anything on tv today

[@DataStorm1]

If I ask my cat anything, he'll say "meow"....

[@ICULooking]

Wouldn't have laughed if he hadn't had a heart attack telling it. Comedy.

[@CrzyCanuk13]

LOL this is almost as good as the night Geoff did his first "Ive got a place there" joke and Craig almost fell off his chair... Freakin hilarious both of them..

[@BGSmoot]

That man will be missed on late night

[@blankface_]

I couldn't do standup because I'd come up to the mic, laugh hysterically, and then laugh at myself laughing hysterically

[@plantemor]

He is right you know.. My boyfriend just went out and bought a luxurious cat tree for our new kitten. It took him over an hour to put it together. Our kitten don't give two fucks about it and is more interested in a cardboard box on the floor.

[@wickedrocketelvispel]

I don't know why people are complaining! The title only gives away how not funny the whole segment would be if he "stayed professional". I just laughed my ass off because Craig laughing is hilarious!

[@baboom007]

I didn't get the joke at first but i didn't care. Craig is funny and charismatic. Thank you sir and i wish you well

[@joellucygonzalez6134]

He is GREAT!! Just amazing! I can watch him for hours and I don't get tired

[@denitzilla]

Oh Craig I love you 😚

[@skmc6915]

CATS are the epitome of apathy.

[@FunnyRumel2]

Only Craig can make such a bad joke hilarious

[@PerthTowne]

So funny! Craig is so real and spontaneous, and hilarious, that's he a joy to watch. It's always a good night when Craig cracks up at something and can't stop laughing. I don't know how many times I've watch this.

[@hersheyskissify]

I honestly love each time Craig laughs, cause it's so genuine and it makes me laugh too. I don't think he's laughed as hard since Geoff's first night of I've got a place there. Some late night talk shows do such fake laughs though, so I just love it each time I see him laugh like this.

[@TeReNo223]

his uncontrollable laughter was funnier than the joke

[@imaginaryfanboy]

omg he's too precious for this world. Too adorable when laughing. Thanks for posting!

[@g.l.rangertony2168]

funniest cat joke i heard out of his mouth

[@YoDeMoxie]

He had me dying of laughter with him. I can't believe people say he has a creepy laugh! Love this dude!

[@Katiekt_readz]

Anytime I need a laugh to brighten my day I can watch this. Put it on repeat! Love Craig!!!!

[@SergeDeMarreUSA]

I laughed more with the fact that he can't tell the joke then the joke itself :-)

[@ljc1051]

Still laughing! Love CF! Any old folks out there remember the (many) times this happened on the Carol Burnett show, usually with Conway and Korman? SO funny!!

[@GrahamSiggins]

Is it just me or did his lips turn blue lol

[@richardgates7479]

I cat get the joke.

[@WindWhistler89]

Cats make Craig laugh! :D

[@Gidget521]

Craigy crack-ups always have me in tears. I've seen the show live many times and have enjoyed a few of those moments. So wish I had been there for this one. Once he finally gets to "ask a cat", it's the punchline so worth waiting for...delivery, the look on his face...priceless! :D

[@randomtrucks]

He's one of the few people who are even funnier when they laugh at their own jokes :D I love it.

[@kahsindra]

Thank you so much for posting this!! I've been looking for it since I saw the show that night.

[@Guinevere2000]

Thank you! I needed that 😂

[@gioiaribelle]

don't worry,I came here to see Craig laughing, cause it makes me laugh and fall in love,not for the joke :D

[@sonablom]

it actually made it funnier to me knowing where he was going and that he just couldn't get there.

[@sdmadd2]

Since I can't check the thumbs up, I'll just let you know I loved it. Thanks for posting.

[@sideslick1024]

This episode is on right now, the morning of July 2nd, 2013. Friggin' HILARIOUS!!!

[@twinmomkg]

He was funnier than the joke! lol

[@DiannaAForever]

This made me laugh so hard that I cried.

[@jenniferpruitt6534]

Love Craig. Must be the Scottish accent.

[@LlamaHomefry]

I love it when Craig cracks himself up. xD

[@Folie]

I love this man... I LOVE HIM!!!!

[@gigglygomi87]

this is one of the best things I've ever seen!!

[@0693ivana]

craigy is so awesome, love it

[@itsjackson91]

This is why I love him.

[@verycooldad1]

Not knowing the punchline along the way is part of the journey in a joke.

[@CrazyBlonde2393]

I wish he had time to go on about why not to ask a cat and act out senarious

[@pirategirlfan301]

I laughed until I cried

[@matzea6820]

its the 8. april 2013 episode not up sadly :(

[@ThePopcornia]

But wtf the joke is hilarious! Hahahahahaha

[@JamesIreland]

I have an opinion about this video.

[@TheHouseOffice]

HE'S CRYING!

[@PSNadam]

my girlfriend made me watch this

[@LateNightComic]

This is an Eddie Izzard kind of joke, that't the humour he loves!

[@alokbdas1]

LoL.

[@greatonex]

this must be the one fuckin episode i didn't see

[@Abo39FooR]

i don't get it.

[@KRaGG101]

Craig himself brought me here xD

[@TraviskCa403]

I love this more than life itself.

[@SkitHertz]

haha this is so precious

[@Mattwashere2013]

Haha! You crazy!

[@19330131]

neither is Craig.

[@patrickmoran6083]

dont understand why craig was cracking up so bad???

[@MageisHero]

hes always laughing at his own jokes.

[@ahmedalshaiba9185]

Patrick Moran cat jokes always crack him up

[@TheJBWZ]

I didn't understand the joke... Maybe it's because I'm not English or what?

[@Lukigol]

what is wrong with that man???

[@MYT1301]

i don't get it?

[@vipersnake94]

Cause cats do absolutely nothing. Just sleep all day :P

[@1TrueJuliet]

Cats don't say or do anything... which means that's great if you want absolutely nothing said or done. XD

[@TheHouseOffice]

0:26 He does an excited little jump!! xD

[@mo39fhn]

the hell, a lot of buildup for nothing

[@Pypamid]

I love how you count. A, 2, C, 4, 4b

[@sdmadd2]

"THE CAT!"
