[[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] are handy. Because they're animals that act human without ''looking'' human, they can add a sense of whimsy or comedy to a piece; seeing a group of ''animals'' go about ordinary human lives can help to accentuate just how absurd we are sometimes. If they're played with "realistic" animal traits ([[Most Writers Are Human|or as realistic as circumstances allow]]), they can allow for a unique brand of comedy. If they're being used seriously, they can help give the impression of a different world. Heck, [[Furries Are Easier to Draw|they might just be easier to draw]]. However, in many works that use them, they are a "human substitute." It might get a little too weird [[Fridge Logic|to consider]] what it would be like having both humanoid "animals" and "ordinary" humans running around in the same world--especially if there are ''regular'' animals [[Furry Confusion|running around as well,]] and even more so if some of them ''[[Talking Animal|talk!]]''

Some writers don't care, however. And thus you get worlds where [[Animal Crossing|pointy-hatted young women buy their groceries from six-foot-tall raccoons]], little girls go on play dates [[Little Bear|with grizzly bears]], preteen kids [[My Gym Partners a Monkey|go to school with monkeys]], and plenty of other [[Hilarity Ensues|assorted hijinks]] go down between humans and what most people consider "[[Furry Fandom|furries]]." To make things even ''more'' baffling, some of these worlds have ordinary [[Talking Animal|Talking Animals]] as well, generally making everyone's heads hurt. And... don't bother asking what everyone eats. [[Carnivore Confusion|Seriously... just don't.]]

If the cast is mostly human, expect the talking animals and anthros to be an [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]. If the cast of a work is mostly composed of animals, a human may be thrown in as [[Token Human|the furry equivalent of a]] [[Token Minority]]. And if the [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] in question are very small and typically go unnoticed by humans, it's a [[Mouse World]].

* ''[[Dragonball]]'' has many [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] in it, who often live among humans. Major ones are Oolong, a pig who walks upright, talks, and wears clothing (including a Zhongshan/Mao suit), and Korin, an immortal cat, but there are [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Animals many others]. There's Shu for instance, an anthropomorphic ninja dog who serves Emperor Pilaf. In the first episode of the anime, he and his woman partner Mai are chased by pack of wolves who are fully zoomorphic (don't stand upright and don't talk). Also, the few times he appeared, the President of the World was an anthropomorphic fox as well. Some of the animals are zoomorphic in body form, but are capable of human speech, such as Turtle, who is [[Shaped Like Itself|the turtle]] companion of Master Roshi, so this is also a case of [[Furry Confusion]]. ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' also featured funny animals on a smaller scale, but [[Continuity Drift|they became less and less present]].

[[Elephant in The Living Room|Nobody ever seemed to comment on this or think that it was odd]]. He even [[Hot Skitty-On-Wailord Action|had a completely human-looking child with another human]].

* [[Sam and Max]] are a dog and a rabbit, but in the comics almost everyone they run into is a human, as well the occasional talking rat or cockroach. Some ordinary, [[Furry Confusion|non-anthropomorphised dogs]] can also be seen in the background of some panels. By the end of the Sam & Max Season Three game, characters across the franchise included a talking fish on a fake body, a non-talking but still sapient fish, some aliens, a race of molemen, a talking chicken, a sentient colony of spacefaring bacteria (Also technically an alien, but he deserves to mentioned separately), sentient computers, giant stone heads, Yog Soggoth, and all sorts of mythological creatures. And yet Sam and Max are still the only [[Funny Animal|funny animals]] in the cast, except for their rarely seen relatives, the anthropomorphic cockroach Sal, and maybe the molemen. And the giant rats and roaches on the moon, but they're aliens.

** Lampshaded in ''The Devil's Playhouse: They Stole Max's Brain!'' in which Sam discovers a canine-ish skull in a museum with a caption saying it belonged to 'one of a hideous and brutish evolutionary dead-end of man-dog hybrids' (obviously implying that Sam's species is separate to normal dogs and considered extinct). Sam complains about the racism and says the skull reminds him of his great uncle. The same museum has a statue of [[Petting Zoo People|Anubis]] in the Ancient Egypt exhibit, which is slimmer and darker and has pointed ears but otherwise looks exactly the same as Sam, which Sam is quite happy about.

* Most characters in the French comic ''[[De Cape Et De Crocs]]'' are human, but the leads are a fox and a wolf (with a rabbit sidekick trailing behind). They are acknowledged as such (for example, when they fall into the sea : "One cannon and two canines overboard!"), but definitely fit into the category of [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]. They each have a human love interest, although we eventually learn Don Lope, the wolf, used to be in love with another wolf ; there are a few other background characters who are various species of animals, and none of this is ever commented upon. However, [[Carnivore Confusion]] is actually addressed, in a hilarious way.
