America's Funniest Home Videos

America's Funniest Home Videos has a perfectly ironic title. See, you tune in expecting comedy, and walk away gagging yourself with a pointy stick. It's patently ridiculous how unfunny the original series was, and yet it drew millions of viewers each week. And I ask every single one of those people, "WHY?" Bob Saget has to be the dorkiest man on the face of this planet, and yet people would laugh hysterically at all of his inane, obvious jokes. South Park definitely pinned him and this show down in one of their best episodes, bashing every element from Bob's cornball one-liners to the audience's rib busting reactions. I just don't know how people could watch footage of a man getting gruesomely injured by a household appliance/hyperactive child with a plastic bat/wooden plank and be amused to the point of joyful tears. And don't even mention the new incarnations of AFHV. The guy who hosts this version (who I'm pretty sure hosts the God-awful Hollywood Squares at the same time), is even more comedically challenged then Bob. Who writes his jokes, anyway, deranged orangutangs with a grudge against the sane portion of humanity??? And I'm sorry, but it's obvious that some of these videos, if not all of them, are staged. That leads me to this query: "How desperate for money do you have to be to set-up an insanely painful 'accident' for yourself or your family members and then videotape it for millions to see?" NO ONE should be rewarded for catching their idiot husband/wife/crazy drunk uncle getting their groins whacked or hit by a car. It's not funny. Period! These people should just be smacked, in my opinion. Cancel this show immediately, please, because it's definitely worn out it's welcome. .5/4 stars

OK, let's be real here people. We all had those days were we come home from Applebee's, turn on the TV, break out the happy snacks, and BINGE WATCH A BUNCH OF IDIOTS DOING CRAP ON AMERICA'S STUPIDEST HOME VIDEOS..... Or is that just me? Either way, THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

When it comes to American TV shows, AFV is your usual, standard, ordinary, customary, conventional, habitual, accustomed, expected, wonted, typical, stock, common, everyday, regular, routine, established, set, fixed, traditional, time-honored American show. But is this a bad thing? Well, technically not. In fact, I've gotten a few good laughs from this show. Plus, I find the entire concept of people submitting their idiotic home videos to be aired on national TV for a chance to win a good amount of cash pretty cool.

Yeah, that's great. But why the BALLS did I give AFV a 5/10? It's when they announce the FRICKIN' winner. WHY does the WINNER have to be some RANDOM BABY or some RANDOM KID under 10 YEARS OLD? WHAT THE FART PEOPLE? Whenever AFV airs a video that focuses on a baby or some kid under 10 years old, 95% of the time it's not funny, IT'S JUST RETARDED. YOU SHOULDN'T BE GIVING MONEY TO THESE PEOPLE.

And the worst part would be the fact that AFV is FULL OF THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS. Nobody wants to see your FRICKIN' baby or your FRICKIN' kid do CRAP. We want to see people who are 18 and over do POINTLESS (yet humorous) STUNTS that result in DESTRUCTION or EVEN PET VIDEOS. Yeah, I guess PET VIDEOS ARE GOOD TOO.

I give this a FRICKIN' 5/10. I HATE KIDS.

I was amazed of how many unsatisfied comments there were for AFHV. This is one of the few shows that ever got me and my family together. This is one of those special shows that bring the family together and spend some quality time. There are some very funny things that happen. I have to agree that some of the videos aren't funny. But there were plenty to make up for it. I don't like seeing things get hurt when they could be severely hurt. But what was sent in never bothered me. I still enjoy this show even though I'm grown up. And I am more mature than most other people my age. As for Bob Sagat. I don't think he's a bad host. He isn't the best, but he has a few that are funny. This is a high quality family get together show. It's better than some of the shows of today.

I think this show was really cool when Bob Saget was the host. Bob Saget did a good job. Daisy and John, don't get me started there. THEY SUCK. Their jokes are SOOO Corny, "good news, bad news" HAHAHA-- not. The Tom guy though.. never heard of him except on here. I think this show should be cancelled, or at least get Saget back!!!

I used to like watching this show, when I was a mindless little tyke. Now that I am much older, I caught this on a TV rerun and thought to myself, "Is this supposed to be funny?". The videos that were sent in were funny, although much of them look as if they were staged. What made them unfunny and unentertaining was the gratuitous use of Bob Saget's voiceovers and music. I had to mute the TV to find the videos funny. My brothers and sisters never liked the show. Now that I am old enough, it's hard not to see why.
