Frequently Occurring Show Activities

ArtJam

The viewers are asked to contribute some self-made artwork on a chosen theme. The Funday PawPet Show's website has an archive of all art submitted since 1999.

Picture Captions

The viewers are asked to send in a suitable caption for a certain picture. The captions are broadcast near the end of the show.

Roll Call

One of the cast members or guests reads the nicknames of those in the show's IRC channel while the "Jarabe tapatío" is played. For some broadcasts, such as ones with notable guests or upcoming holidays, a song matching the guest or holiday may be used instead. The verbal roll call was discontinued on episode 500; the chat room names are now listed in the show's closing credits.

Spits-or-Swallows

The cast eats or drinks something their viewers have sent in, often a food or drink that is generally viewed as displeasing to many.

Subservience

Inspired by Burger King's The Subservient Chicken, this segment consists of a cast member appearing on camera and performing actions based on suggestions from the audience. It usually features fursuiters, though there have been exceptions, such as Episode 315's Subservient Rasvar, Episode 362's Subservient Captain Jack Sparrow, and Episode 369's Subservient BassMan.

The Pink Flamingo Challenge

Show visitors are treated to some sort of pastry (preferably of a chocolatey nature) which they are encouraged to eat while viewing a short clip from the ending to the movie Pink Flamingos (in which "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?" is played, while Divine chews and swallows dog feces). Since this portion of the film is disturbingly graphic, only the audience's reaction is shown to viewers. On some occasions, a substitute food item (such as a burrito) is offered; on rarer occasions, such as a fursuiting guest, no item is offered.

Paw Tweets

Announcements, such as birthdays or shout-outs, sent in by viewers up to 140 characters are read aloud. This usually takes place late in the show to allow time for submissions to be made.

Garrison Skunk's Top 60 Quotes of the Night

A weekly listing of the current episode's funniest/oddest statements is read by Poink, who alternates even/odd numbered quotes with others, including Simba, Yappy, Ezra and Liesel. The feature was begun by long time viewer and contributor Garrison Skunk who wanted to preserve some notable quotes when it was announced that episode 324 was not being taped due to a machine error. As a joke, the feature retains the number 60 in its title despite growing to over 80 quotes a week, although there have been two alterations. In honor of episode 350, the name was changed to 'Top 350 Quotes of the Night', leading Ezra and Poink to rush through the first page's quotes 350 – 342, only to find that quotes 341 – 61 consisted of a picture of cast member Eaglebeagle saying "Bloop!", with page 3 continuing as normal. The second time this occurred was after the cast took a three-week hiatus, when Garrison presented the 'Top 20 Things Said in Channel Over the Past Three Weeks'.
