It sounds like the cutest Saturday night of your life: An Animal Planet special starring internet sensation Lil Bub, in which the adorable cat hosts a sleepover with her best buddies Bunny, Guinea Pig and Pony.
So what did "Lil Bub's Special Special," which aired Saturday (Feb. 8), actually amount to? Mostly just comedienne/cat-sitter Amy Sedaris mugging as hard as possible while carrying on one-sided conversations with some spectacularly disinterested animals.

Mixed in with Sedaris' attempts at running a game of charades, a truly bizarre pizza order (yarn and pellet toppings with a side of a moving spot of light, please!) and Bub attempting her first prank phone call, musician Andrew W.K. hosted a show-within-the-show called "Party Animals" that was full of the requisite cute animal clips people turn to Animal Planet for. (Rip guest star Colonel Meow!
