The World's Funniest Moments

New host duo Erik Estrada and Laura McKenzie add some humorously inventive interventions between clips and commercials, and then guide us through a collection of silly home-made clips. In the last episode I saw, this TV show upgrade also featured great bits with Christopher Massey (Zoey 101, Santa Paws) and Kyle Massey (Dancing With The Stars, That's So Raven), where they played funny games with the audience (remember the show "Double Dare"?). Very refreshing, especially when a show about video-taped spontaneously funny moments is able to create and record some on the spot. Additional plus marks: Some newer videos that I've never seen, the audience looks a lot happier, and the outtakes are short and witty. Too bad it's on at an awkward time during the weekend; it used to be on at night (on Wednesdays, I think) for all to see. Oh well. Still, a big quality boost for sure.

I just watched this new video show and must admit, I had one small chuckle. This was one about a guy who fell asleep and people kept waking him up to ask the time. None of the PICKS OF THE WEEK were even remotely funny. Whoever screens these videos should really give their sense of humor an extreme makeover. There was hardly anything funny about this whole show. I had been wondering what had happened to Arsenio Hall. He must have ran out of money and got really desperate to accept this job. The writers should have stayed on strike where they didn't have to inflict their bad taste on the rest of the world. I had set my DVR to record these shows, but have since erased all of them. Find something better for Wednesday night like going to the dentist.

While there are a lot choices for comedy entertainment in this world. However, none quite encapsulate the essence of The World's Funniest Moments. I am a historian of comedy and Connoisseur of comedy. The World's Funniest Moments is at the top of my list.

Worst show in this genre I've ever seen. Stretched painfully to one our. Arsenio made me feel bad for him, as they lean on him to fill time in between pretty lame clips. But all that isn't worth writing a lousy review about. What got us going crazy was how obviously many of the clips were staged.

They were usually in homes, with no good reason someone was filming, with the same kind of camera work, and all with lame payoffs like knocking over and old TV, or breakaway glasses with a trumpet.

If you're going to lie about showing viewer clips, at least produce them cleverly.

This show is up there, or more correctly, down there with "Wishing I Wasn't Watching the Krdashians" or "The Alleged Housewives of (fill in the blank) ".

I am more disappointed with this show, because I expected more out of it. Those other shows, I don't expect anything and so I'm not disappointed.

It looked so much like "America's Funniest Videos" that I expected to see Vin Di Bona's name in the credits. That's how completely they stoled AFV.

Most of the videos shown looked like they had been staged. I mean, why would anyone have a Christmas tree setup outside, with presents under it and people sitting around it with a camera rolling when you first turn on the lights-AND it just happens to catch fire? Poorly done fake setup!
