Over the years, Cloris Leachman has won numerous awards for her acting (my fave: Nurse Diesel). Her fancy footwork drew applause (and kisses) on Dancing With the Stars. And the longtime vegetarian turned heads everywhere when she became one of PETA's Lettuce Ladies.

Now Cloris is drawing rave reviews for her appearance in a hilarious public service announcement promoting spaying and neutering. Condoms may be effective birth control for humans, but they don't work for dogs and cats. She wants everyone to know that curbing suffering for millions of animals is a snap: One SNIP can prevent the birth of as many as 420,000 cats in just seven years or 67,000 puppies in six years. That's why she wanted to make this spot the performance of a lifetime. Watch the outtakes and try to tell me that this woman isn't a comedic genius:

Cloris is positively glorious, but she can't do it alone. She needs your help in educating the masses about the importance of spaying and neutering—from your front yard and beyond.

What happens when a demented Ronald McDonald sits down with one of television's most befuddling interviewers? Visitors to Will Ferrell’s FunnyOrDie.com are finding out today. A bizarre PETA video just debuted featuring Martin Short’s Jiminy Glick character grilling a "fried" Ronald McDonald (Andy Dick) about the company’s slaughter practices.

While I'm excited about PETA's first FunnyOrDie exclusive (so much so that I'm going to get down on my knees and beg you to vote "Funny"), I'm even more thrilled that The PETA Files has the exclusive on the bonus feature.

So gather your senses after watching the full-length on FunnyOrDie and check out this little "bonus feature" for some more outré commentary from Ronald "They're Just Animals" McDonald.

Now doesn't that just make you want to head over to Facebook and join our "Not eating McDonald's" fan page?

Inspired by the recent release of Carol Leifer's vegetarian testimonials, here are the 10 most knee-slapping, gut-busting, laugh-til-you-cry PSAs that PETA has to offer:

10. Musician Kevin Eubanks—former World's Sexiest Vegetarian—is as sweet as strawberries.
9. The king of improv, Fred Willard, struggles to name our spay-and-neuter campaign.
8. Jewish, ***, or vegan? Comedic genius Carol Leifer is all three. Watch her gush about the pluses of a vegetarian diet.
7. Legendary tennis champ John McEnroe shows his awesome sense of humor—and the importance of spaying and neutering.
6. See "Brad Pitt" star in funnyman Kevin Nealon's veggie testimonial.
5. Our scorching veggie vixens have a fetish for broccoli in "Veggie Love." Are you laughing or just blushing?
4. A zucchini gets an "X" rating? It's hard to believe—until you see our "Sexy Sausage" ad.
3. Phew! See what really stinks in PETA's "Litterbox" ad.
2. Sex and the City's saucy Samantha Jones, played by Kim Catrall, seems like a meek kitten compared to the stars of "Sex and the Kitty."
1. Our "Milk Gone Wild" ad was nixed from the lineup of Super Bowl ads. I suspect network executives didn't want breast-fixated male viewers to stress about their own milk-induced "doobs" (that's short for "dude boobs").

I admit that the order of this list was subjective, so why don't you leave a comment to tell us which PETA PSA you think is the funniest?
