Seagulls are funny. Especially GIANT seagulls that wander in front of a camera’s lens during a live Australian TV newscast.

Much funnier than Barack Obama. But that isn’t much of an assertion. ANYTHING is funnier than Obama… unless he’s showing off his mad fly-killing ninja skills during an interview in the White House.

Nah… still no contest. Giant seagulls are still funnier.

H/t to Moe Lane for this lovely wackiness.

More silly seagull footage… both of the following videos feature the same Doritos-stealing seagull in Scotland. This has been out on the Internet for a couple of years, but this bird still cracks me up.

Quail are pretty funny, too. I’ll keep my eyes open for any good YouTubes of them.
