Annie and Rigby get along well enough that Mike and I can leave them alone for brief moments while we eat or, uh, wrap Christmas presents.
But now it appears those days are over, as they are egging each other on.
Busted.

my favorite spohrtv production yet
I LOVE how she keeps looking over her shoulder like she “knows” she is about to get busted. You guys are so great! You truly should make a dvd of Annabel and Rigby’s adventures. It would be a great fundraiser for Friends of Maddie. I would buy the first copy.
I second that wholeheartedly! The life and times of Rigby and Annabel as a tribute to Maddie. Perfect!
Love it…… Annie is such a cutie, that big smile when she glances round and is instantly reassured to see you, so precious. And Rigby … to see him interact with Annie knowing he was Maddies puppy too, he is a special link between your girls, precious.
ha, this is my favorite one yet!
Definitely one of the best Spohr TV productions yet!
Annie Y´s last [type] ..Once Upon a Friend
My 6 yr old daughter Amelia when i picked her up from school this afternoon said i hope Annie has made a video today!! We look forward to our Friday night (we are in Australia) spohrtv movie..That was our fave one yet..love how rigby was barking
and the way Annie kept looking around was so cute.
“I want a puff! I want a puff!”
OMG sooo funny!
Katrina´s last [type] ..Someone new
OMG – my kids and I laughed SOOO MUCH!!!! I loved the way Annie kept stopping and looking. It was like she watching out to make you or Mike didn’t walk in the room. I also loved how determined she was to get thoses puffes. She loves her food, doesn’t she? Her balance is awesome! I really think you are going to have an early walker on your hands!!! I can say without a doubt this is my favourite of Annie.
My Maddie favourite is when she was over a year and she was in her high chair and you were trying to get her to say “WOW” but she said “WHEN” (I will never forget her facial expression – it was PRICELESS). Then, all of a sudden out of know where she started to bust a move!!! She was so cute! That was my favourite Maddie video! Well, that and any of them when there is music being played and suddenly her little feet would start going and she would squeal and laugh with delight!! It was those times I wish I could reach through the screen and just scoop her up in my arms and cuddle and play with her!!!
Both of your girls are so adored and are so freaking adorable!!!!! Once can simply NOT help but fall in love with both of your little ones!!! What a gift those perfect babies arel!! So loved you all are!! xo
Love it!
Too bad there isn’t good stuff like this on “real” tv!
Lynn from For Love or Funny´s last [type] ..It’s a dog life…
Love this video! too cute! My almost 3yr old watched it with me and kept telling me ‘one more time’ when it was over!
Funniest. Ever.
Bravo Spohrs!
LMAO – yeah definately the funniest…poor Rigby — come here I’ll give you a puff!
Hilarious
Oh my god, I’m crying. This is BRILLIANT. The best people in the world are people who realise that there is nothing funnier than voicing babies and dogs. xx
ZOMG that was freaking hilarious!
too cute!!!!!
LOVE this!!! Definitley one of my favorites!!
This is great!
SO, coming from a communications major, do you write out what you are going to say or do you come up with it on the fly? Just curious about the production side of these videos 
I used to have all kinds of fun editing and doing all that stuff. I never finished though, because I met a boy and got married and had 4 kids and now it’s like college whaaaaaaaat? I’m going back. Some day.
Lol!!! This one is fantastic!!!!!
LOL. I love you guys. What a nice way to start my morning by watching this!
And the award for Best Short Film goes to … When the Cat’s Away starring Annabel Spohr and Rigby. How cool of Rigby to go by one name like Madonna and Cher. LOVED IT!
GOLD.
“I put my face on it.” Hahahaha!!! But what’s a puff? Surely there is no snack in the world that I do not know?
edenland´s last [type] ..All Hail the Bin Juice
A puff is a little baby treat…it’s kind of like cereal only it pretty much melts in your mouth so that its not a choking hazzard or anything. Puffed air
Ahhhhh – thank you Shawna! I think *I* need puffed air as a snack. Instead of family blocks of chocolate.
edenland´s last [type] ..All Hail the Bin Juice
I was literally shaking with laughter watching this! OMG,,,,,,,this is SUPER!!!!! You guys are hilarious!
Best one yet! I love it!
The best!
Sooooo funny!!!!
They say dogs and their owners start to look like each other after a while. I love the same guilty “is anyone coming??” look that both Annie and Rigby have. Awesome video!
Haaaaa! Poor Rigby. She just wants a puff. I love when Annie looks over her shoulder with the gigantic smile and goes, “Hahaha!” So, so cute!
Jen L.´s last [type] ..Whos hungry
These videos start my Friday off in the best way – I crack up with every one!!
Oh man, this was awesome! I love when she quickly looks at the camera “hahaha” hehehehe…. ooh I want a puff. Great video! Thanks for the Friday smile!
Lisa´s last [type] ..Upcoming changes!
The best yet. I wish we were neighbors!!
SO FUNNY! I didn’t expect to be so entertained by this, but I was cracking up and I can’t wait to show it to my kids when they get home, they are going to love it!!
Thank you for making me laugh so fricken hard! That was hysterical! And you know I love the Annie voice! It’s my fav!

Nothing like a little Spohr TV to set the stage for a good Friday
Lisa´s last [type] ..Messy Mornings Happy Mornings
Oh that was a great morning laugh – thank you!!
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! The line about the surgery was hilarious!! That was perfect.
I was so excited to see Rigby as a costar today! He and Annie work so well together.
That said – this is the Best. Video. Ever. Hands down. In fact, it is so much my favorite that I’ve bookmarked the YouTube link so that I can watch it over and over and over again!
THANK YOU for making my Friday!!
Hilarious!!!
Wow a 10 minute time out! ? Clearly the judge was seeking the maximum on that one!
oh my gosh – this is the best yet. When Annie says ‘ouch, the split” I dont know how to get down” HA HA HA
This might be my favorite video yet. I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My day? It is MADE.
Deborah´s last [type] ..Huge Photo Sale

Aw, give poor Rigby a puff!
Um…you two are hilarious! And I am in LOVE with Annabel. Good work on both!
Miss MVK´s last [type] ..Oh Reality- surely you jest
The best one yet!
the best yet!
Hilarious! This is the best video I’ve seen in a while!!
what a great duo!!!
spewed my coffee on this one! and, i think it’s because it was just annie and rigby doing their thing….no fancy editing. still trying to figure out how they talk w/out moving their lips/mouths….hmmmm…..
Oh wow, thats so cute!
Haha! Love it
You guys are too funny!
My favorite one yet, too! LOL!
I totally laughed out loud at this one! I love Spohr TV!!!
Toooo funny!! Have a great weekend!
Definitely a classic spohr production! you guys are really good at this!
You guys are the best! Just hilarious! Annabel is so lucky and precious!
Freaking hysterical. That was so funny.
Heather´s last [type] ..I Love You So Much
I love your blog. Please don’t leave your baby alone with a dog for a second. I have seen the best pets have a bad moment and disfigure a child. Please.
she wasn’t ACTUALLY alone with the dog.
Who do you think was video taping this? Secret surveillance cameras? Funny.
OMG
Peeing myself laughing!
Brilliant!
Christine´s last [type] ..Pet Peeves
Too funny!! Loved the splits move Annie.
hehehe
All I have to say is that this video will never stand up in court
You guys obviously set Annie up. For all you know, she never does this….look at her face…that’s the face of a baby wrongly accused.
I think the time out was very very very unfair.
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! The “script” has me giggling out loud at work. Love, love, love.
Love it! Hilarious! She is so cute!
Seriously, I’m still hysterically laughing – what a great video! I especially loved the fast-paced talking between Annabel and Rigby….I’m laughing all over again!
Have a wonderful, amazing weekend!
That is just too cute!!!!
bhahaha..that was pure awesomeness!!
I’ve loved all your Annie videos, but I think this one is my favorite.
The videos you guys make ALWAYS bring joy to my day!!
So cute! Love it!!
love!! where do you get all the cool music clips for your videos?
The funniest one yet!
Loved that one…
jenny´s last [type] ..Six Years
This is my favorite yet!! The fast action is hilarious!
I love this video! Annie and Rigby such the partners in crime. Thanks for putting a smile on my face this gloomy Friday morning.
I love these posts! You should have your own REAL TV show!
That TOTALLY deserves and Emmy!! LOVE IT!!
wow there was not a single thing about that video that I did not love. Laughed out loud and not in an LOL kind of way, actual laughing!
Adorable!!!
I don’t think a little finger shake is going to do it, Mike.
Time to start looking into corporal punishment options… can I suggest The Tickle Monster? Threats of being traded for magic beans work well too…
Heather´s last [type] ..Dear bread…
This made me laugh so hard this morning – so funny and awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Also? Whenever you post something that Annie “wrote,” like her essay on being bad – I totally hear it in her video voice in my head. Love it!
How cute!

Oh, this made me laugh. Probably my favorite video yet.
Wallydraigle´s last [type] ..Busy busy
Okay, my 1 year old is totally begging for me to play it again. He just loves it!! He is saying “more” and making the more sign too!!! So funny! That was HILARIOUS!!!!! Definitely one of the best (even though they are ALL great!). I love it when Annabel says NO RIGBY!!! Can’t wait to show this to the hubby. Love it love it love it!!!!!!
LOVED IT!!!!
hahahaha so hilarious! She is just adorable and I can actually picture them communicating that way!
Seriously, all of these make me laugh. BUT… this is my favorite by far. Too hilarious.
Big T said “That was silly.” And made me show it to him a second time.
This really is the best one yet! I’ve watched it three times showing it to different co-workers. Love it!
OMG, Thank you!! That was such a good laugh! Too cute.
AGREE!!
6 thumbs up, one for each little “hand” in the production. That was your best ever, and it was hilarious. My colleagues think I have gone nuts, sitting at my desk laughing.
have to admit to not always being a big fan of the speaking for annie videos – but this one totally rocked – hysterical!! (i think the addition of rigby’s voice helped)
Hilarious and so cute!!!

OMG! Best video yet!!
I love it!!!
amy d´s last [type] ..Love
Hahaha, thank you guys for a great laugh and totally making my day. LOVED IT!!
PS – Just went and watched it AGAIN hehe… hilarious. I love it when Annie laughed near the end and you were just like “AHAHAHA…” and the puffs! Haha my cousin’s kid LOOOOOOVES those and asks for them by name. Crazy food!
Hehe Rigby – “Don’t let anyone tell you anything about that surgery!! I want puffs!”
10 minutes? Harsh!
Your videos always crack me up. One of the things I look forward to on Friday.
hilarious…love your videos. thanks for making me smile Annie and Rigby ;D
I love the plumbers bottom she has sticking out of the top of her diaper. She’s adorable and Rigby is the cutest dog! I think the next Sphor Television Production should be Annie fixing some pipes she’s the plumber girl now.
Rebecca´s last [type] ..Love- Exciting and New
Ohhh…Emmm…Geee…that is hilarious!! I have watched it 4 times and cry from laughing everytime!!!! Thank you Heather for brightening my day
My boys ages 6 and 7 busted up laughing at this one, great job!! It was super cute!
Made my Day!!!
This is the best video yet! I had to watch it 100 times today as my 2 year old demanded it!
I need to know how you play your video in fast-forward? I have been trying to do that with a video of my 7 month old but couldn’t figure it out.
Claire´s last [type] ..Like father like son -
WE LOVE your site makes us crack up everytime you post this stuff…when we need it…….take care and enjoy that little girl…..
You guys are TOO funny! You really made me laugh out loud. Thanks for posting this!
That is hilarious! My 5 yo just watched it twice.
I wish I could hear the sound – i’m at work! I’ll watch it again tonight. I love how she gets distracted from her puffs and opens/closes her hand!
OMG this might be one of my absolute favorites, especially the laugh at the end. Love it!
Have a great weekend!
XOXO from GA,
Nikki
OMG too cute! my 6 month old loved it and wanted to watch it over and over again! i’m not kidding it’s like maddie’s fascination with Matt Lauer, only it’s the Spohrs she’s fascinated by. she was sitting there talking to you guys!
It’s going to be hard to top that one. I always love when Rigby gets to co-star in the productions. He’s a great as Annie’s sidekick. Kind of like a Lucy and Ethel duo.
After being sick all week, I so needed to see an Annie and Rigby video. Thank you! Annie will be making phone calls before you know it. My little girl got ahold of the hubby’s iPad last week and started playing The Cranberries on it. I don’t even know how to turn the iPad on.
Elle´s last [type] ..Six Word Fridays- Favorite Things
LOVE IT!!! I thought for sure Rigby would go on the other side and get the puffs that way! Love your videos!
This is totally one of my favorite videos ever!
This was hilarious…love the splitz “oh I found a puff!” haha
By far my favorite video thus far. I can’t stop laughing. Loved the splits for some reason that part made laugh hysterically.
Kristin´s last [type] ..Telegram Candygram Motherfucking Land Shark
This one’s my favorite I think!! So precious!! She looks like she’s getting close to walking.
Rachel´s last [type] ..Introduction
OMG! I love this one!! I am crying from laughing so hard. The “I don’t know how to get down.” and the “OUCH! the splits” had me dying. And Rigby’s “I’m outa here. I don’t wanna be a part of this.” ROTFL!! I look forward to Friday’s for these videos. You guys just ROCK! Annie & Rigby are just too adorable for words.
Thank you. I so needed to laugh today. Really. Thank you.

I had to watch this again. With all my guys this time – we all loved it, but I laughed the loudest. You Spohrs need to sign up with a talent agency.
edenland´s last [type] ..All Hail the Bin Juice
Has to be the best one yet… left me wanting more…. !!!! Darling!!!!
You guys are so awesome. Thank you for the much needed laugh.
Halarious….too funny
Ok that is my favorite by far. So simple and so freaking hilarious. I want another installment of that. Haha!
Sooooo freakin’ cute!!
HAHAHA My favorite one!!! I watched it a few time, it’s just soooooo funny. Is that you and Mike talking?
Great video!!
So, “wrap Christmas presents” huh?? My grandfather used to leave the room to “make a telephone call.” Funny, the phone was always in a bathroom.
That is hysterical! I love it. And you know that’s exactly what they were talking about too.
Such a great video! I loved it.
“Oh I found a puff!” “You found a puff?!” LOLOLOLOL… love it!!!
Jennifer Dawn´s last [type] ..6 Months
BUSTED indeed. Too cute
This one was great! I kept busting out laughing.
So cute! I watched it twice
Definitely Spohr TV’s best of the best. Hilarious. You guys have amazing comic timing. Thanks for sharing!
Your post cracked me up. When I was a kid, my mom and dad did plenty of “present wrapping” and I seriously thought I always hit the mother load!! LOL And then I realized what it really meant….
Thanks for making me laugh!!
Thanks a million for that awesome video. “oh I found a puff” has become a line now used in my household to induce fits of laughter.
Freakin’ hilarious!!!
mythoughtsonthat´s last [type] ..At Least I THINK I’m A Good Witch
One of the best videos!! I busted out laughing so many times! so cute!!
haha, I was literally LOL’ing with this one! Love the Annabel and Rigby adventures!
Seriously, that video made me laugh out loud the entire time!!!!!! You guys crack me up, the things you think of are just too funny! I’m going to go now and watch it again!
First off: Christmas wrapping already?! You guys are ahead of the game! Hehe.
Secondly: Annabel & Rigby need their own show. Seriously, that babe of yours is too cute! I love how she kept looking to see if she’d get caught. And her laughing towards the end. Adorable! ^o^
OH AND: I just realized that Mike was playing the voice of Rigby and Rigby’s a girl dog. Too funny. Still love it though (hmmm. Come to think of it, he always plays the voice for Rigby). =P
I just realized that too! I like to pretend that Rigby is a boy dog for that very reason! Makes it even funnier. LOL! Sorry, Heather!
Um, sorry too Rigby 
.
That was hilarious! The way she kept looking over her shoulder to see if she was going to get caught was priceless.
Jules´s last [type] ..The Beginning of the End
truly- I’ve watched several times to really pick up on the hilarious “dialogue” between A&R. I’ve loved it more every time. So much fun. Thanks for all the work you put into these- they’re well loved. (they being Annie, Rigby and the movies)
This is my favorite video of Annie!!! So stinking cute and funny.
