For me it’s this one, titled “Death Wish Pigeon” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/FTfbLe58wpc/hqdefault.jpg "Derby Peregrine Falcon 14 - Death Wish Pigeon") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTfbLe58wpc) A pigeon lands in an empty falcon nesting box. You wonder “when is the falcon going to come home?” I didn’t get the ending I expected, though. ---

Sorry. I’ve found most to be mildly amusing. I can see the humor. there are at least a couple that are so unfunny that I’m pretty baffled.
