This video is intended to be funny, but it isn't. What is interesting is watching the poor kangaroo move. He clearly is frightened and puffs up his chest quite visibly. I also found it fascinating to watch how he uses his tail like a third leg, and sort of moon walks using it.
I should also add that this is animal cruelty and very dumb to boot.

Knut the polar bear to be stuffed, displayed at Berlin museum
BERLIN -- Knut, the world's best known polar bear, is to be stuffed and put on display in a Berlin museum, allowing fans a chance to say their farewells to the animal.
The news came Tuesday as a team of veterinarians tried to define the cause of the four-year-old bear's death. Three vets took part in the examination of the 300kg (661lb) animal, and were accompanied by a taxidermist to ensure that Knut's fur was not damaged in the process.
The stuffed polar bear will be placed in the Berlin Natural History museum, close to the world's largest dinosaur skeleton, The Times of London reported.

Yet Another Adorable YouTube Sensation Actually Predicated On Cruelty
"The only reason the loris isn't biting the person holding it in the video is because it has had its teeth ripped out with pliers."
- Animal rights activist Chris Shepherd tells you what's really going on in those viral videos which show slow lorises—tiny primates native to Southeast Asia—being tickled and holding up cocktail umbrellas. While the clips seem awww-worthy, the reality is far more sinister: "Although the creature may look happy, it submits to being tickled as a passive defence-mechanism to deal with stress. The loris is a nocturnal animal and is effectively being blinded by the daylight in the videos. Disoriented, it grasps at the umbrella believing it is the bamboo of its natural terrain."
