It has definitely declined from host to host. I believe Tom Bergeron and Bob Saget were iconic compared to having Carlton host.

The humor just seems more forced from the host and it's always the same acts that win.

America conflates cute with funny. Submit a cute baby video and you could win big.

The most funny acts hardly ever win or make it to the finals.

Eventually, I lost interest in viewing regularly for this reason....

It's a classic for it's earlier years, but I'd only recommend viewing if you have absolutely nothing else to watch

6/10- Michael I.

Just a few seconds ago, while checking his profile, I read that AFV's current host Tom Bergeron used to work as a mime. It figures. He's possibly the stiffest, dullest host ever to crawl across the screen. His jokes aren't deadpan, they're just dead, period. As if the puns weren't bad enough, his telling of them will have the audience snoring rather than laughing.

That being said... some of the clips are absolutely hilarious! Watching a baby hit his father in the nuts with a baseball bat may be too lowbrow for you, but simple humour is often funny humour. Although some videos are obviously staged (which makes you wonder just how bored these people are), the ones that depict real accidents are hilarious. So if you can stand Bergeron's droning attempts at ruining funny videos, check this out.

As much as I cherish Alfonso as a host, it disheartens me that Tom no longer hosts this show. My favorite parts were when they would shoddily crop his head onto clips making funny faces. It was just geeky innocent humor.

It's hard to really rate this show because it's mostly just a show of video clips and so the quality varies widely. Sometimes the videos feel like they were trying to do stupid stuff on purpose just to submit it to AFV. Alot of times I find myself thinking, "and they just happened to be recording that because?" It feels disingenuous.

Where this show succeeds is in its lightheartedness. It's not obscene for the most part and thus it's good for gathering the family around for a couple chuckles. Alfonso's commentary and standup is kept to a bare minimum and I'd love if they gave him more jokes to display because he is a great host.

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.

bob saget sucked!. i think 45 min of each show he hosted was all him talking and the other 15 min: videos tom bergeron is funny. he doesn't do "bad news good news" he did on 2 of the shows he hosted. he does the slowmo gizmo which is funny. he also does the "head, gut or groan" bit where people tried to guess where the person in the video will be hit. and the VS. bit. he does a lot more in his showings of it then the other hosts did. he does videos with his head. Im so glad they stopped showing the afv with bob saget and the other 2 hosts. although today on TV they show reruns Maybe 1990's is where all the famous people hosted shows terribly because today its better

Yeah, the most common complaint you hear about AFV is the 'artistic merit' of the show, but who cares -- it's funny. Obviously, it's not funny in a cerebral or enlightening way, it just makes you feel GOOD.

I rediscovered this show thanks to KDOC (Orange County) reruns five nights a week, and I'm impressed with how the show is still funny all these years later. C'mon, everybody knows that Bob Saget's jokes were cringe-worthy even back in the day, and Tom Bergeron's antics fare only slightly better. Yet the main draw of the show isn't the host -- it's the videos themselves. That's why AFV is still getting ratings 19 seasons later. AFV (and COPS as well) has a dynamite formula -- it presents content that reflects people from all walks of life, rich, poor, educated or not, and offers a show that anybody can relate to. It is a show for all of us, no matter where we came from or what we believe.

I've heard people on the boards complain about how stupid the show is and how the producers pay ABC to air the show, rah bah, bah. But here's the deal, the politics behind the show are irrelevant to the enjoyment it provides to its audience. Let's be reasonable, who in their right mind would expect a program called AMERICA'S FUNNIEST (HOME) VIDEOS to be thought provoking anyhow?

So sit back, grab a snack, and the enjoy corny atmosphere of the show, 'cause with AFV, the one thing you can count on is plenty good 'ol fashioned American Cheesy Goodness!!!

I'm not sure how they pick the three finalist at the end. But the other clips were wayyyyy more funnier. I've never posted a video there but every single time I've watched this show growing up with every single different host it doesnt matter, the top finalist shouldn't be there. There were way funnier videos I've seen that actually made me laugh. The ones at the end didnt even make me laugh. The ones that make you laugh should be the finalists. And also should be a draw from the audience not the producers or whom ever.

If you're wondering which show started off the video clip format, it's definitely this show!

It first started off as a one-off special in 1989 on ABC, with the late Bob Saget, who was already known for playing clean freak Danny Tanner on Full House. The special was highly rated that it became a weekly series a few months later in January 1990. Saget hosted the show until he left in 1997, 2 years after Full House was cancelled by ABC.

The show did return in a slightly new format with dual hosts: John Fugelsang & Daisy Fuentes. They hosted from 1998 until 1999, when left after 2 seasons.

AFV would be reduced to occasional specials until 2001, when it returned to a weekly series with a new permanent host. Tom Bergeron (the first era of AFV I was exposed to), known for hosting Hollywood Squares in syndication at the time before hosting Dancing with the Stars from its inaugural season 'til Season 29, is currently the longest-tenured host of AFV, hosting for 14 years until he left at the end of the show's 25th season.

Currently, as of Season 26, Alfonso Ribeiro is the host.

Your milage may vary on your favorite era of the show, but one thing remained the same, and that's the home videos (for the most part). So, congratulations AFV, and keep on laughing!

In the 90s I would have given AFV 10 stars. It was novel and personal camcorders were the rage; the few who could afford the price tag were happy to send in footage caught mostly by accident that tickled or surprised us. The whole family anticipated the new show. But here in 2020, despite Alfonso being my fav host (and despite the fact that there must be tons more content to choose from), the clips are often in very poor taste, last too long, or are just plain mean. This once-revered "family" show should reevaluate its family-friendly rating when it seems to now be more of a "how to" on tricking family and friends and setting up children as the innocent victims of inappropriate humor. When AFV started suggesting things to film, the audience then had to suffer through a barrage of set-up scenes performing the same tired stunt, many of which were only funny to the person filming. In addition to the finalists never being what I consider the best clips, I am completely disenchanted with this series. AFV needs to revamp its show and use the unusual videos caught by sheer luck or of adult stunts gone wrong that made them a household name. Clips should be clean, accidental, brief, and with no intentional victims. When you realize it is now the only show of its kind that solicits audience participation in creating videos, you have to ask yourself why other shows clearly discourage that: It's because people will do outrageous, dangerous, vicious, and immoral things to get on television. Instead, other similar shows scour the internet and other professional sources for footage that was caught on film. That was the original premise behind AFV -- mostly harmless, sometimes shocking, often funny footage taken without staging. That's the missing ingredient in today's AFV: innocence.

I think Bob Saget did a very good job on the show. He was so very funny and he was a good host, I loved all his jokes, his comments, and his sense of humor. I think John Fugelsang and Daisy Fuentes were not bad at all. I love when they did the good news-bad news segment on the show it was funny too. I think Tom Bergeron is doing a very good job hosting the show. I like his jokes and his sense of humor and his duties too. Keep the the good work Tom and make it a successful show.

Funny, but replace host. He's not enjoyable to watch. Sorry

When the show first came on in 1990, it was funny, namely because of its novelty value. Home videos were still relatively rare, and there were already occasional programs depicting the occasional flubbed lines, minor accidents, etc. by professional television people. Why not expand the idea to amateurs making their videos?

And there were funny events such as minor accidents at gatherings, or while playing sports, or people who were supposed to do or say one thing but forgot or goofed, or animals or kids doing something they weren't supposed to. These things happen in real life, after all.

Of course, as the years went by and the show started offering "funniest" awards, inevitably people would send in staged "bloopers" or things that were shocking rather than humorous, or any of a number of outrageous actions in a desperate attempt to top other videos. In other words, people were trying anything to get on television to be seen by millions. Which I supposed was inevitable during the show's too-long run.

I admit, I am an AFV fan. I sometimes laugh so hard I cry, and I never miss it. If you like slapstick humor, this is very funny. But some of the clips sent in make me think- "What kind of a parent does this?"

For example, one clip was of a kid climbing a high tree and then falling down. In the background you hear the mother laughing. Shouldn't she be running over to see if her kid was okay? I would. Be concerned, don't show it to millions of viewers.

And some things are very unrealistic. For example, one clip was of a kid eating a sandwich in his kitchen, and then the dog jumped up and bit into it. Funny, but who really tapes their kid eating a sandwich? It looks planned to me. But who am I to say.

Another clip was of a 10-12 year old child picking their nose. Good for a laugh, but what kind of a parent embarrasses their child like that? It's all in good fun, but could you imagine millions of people watching you? All for a laugh?

Don't get me wrong- I like the show. It's one of my favorites. I just think that some of the clips aren't funny, or are mean.

7/10.

I love America's Funniest Home Videos! I can't believe that it's been 30 years since this show debuted in 1989. Bob Saget will always be the king of AFV comedy. Daisy and John were ok. Tom was almost like Saget. Now Alfonso is doing a good job hosting the show. My favorite funniest videos are scaring pranks, people falling down and basketball trick shots.

AFV FOREVER!

AFV was a fun show back when it first started coming on TV. It was the 90s, and camcorders had transitioned from the analog to a digital system. Having the ability to film birthday parties, cookouts, holiday dinners, and other gatherings was exciting. But it's gone downhill. Fast forward 35 years later, and the home videos have gotten tiresome and painful to watch, literally. Most of the videos are people falling off of roofs, bicycles, skateboards, scooters. Kids having meltdowns. Dogs going in circles chasing their tails. It even comes off like some of the videos are staged. I don't know why it hasn't been canceled. There's no use for it with the internet having expanded - you can go online if you're in the mood for a ridiculous video. Besides, I'm a clumsy person. I usually bump into objects around the house. Sometimes I get scratches on my arm and I'll have no idea where they came from. I feel like if I laugh at people hurting themselves, that'll bring negative karma on my life. But if it doesn't make you feel bad and/or you don't think about it on a deep level like I do, then you'll love this.

10/10 for funny videos. 0/10 for picking the winners. The show is decent (with the exception of Bergeron) up until the last five minutes when they pick the three nominees for the prize. The three they pick are the three dumbest, lamest, most unfunny videos in the entire show. Kids, babies, and dogs are apparently the only things that are funny on this show, and every other video is irrelevant.

Screw you, AFV producers and staff. Tom Bergeron, that includes you. What garbage you have made out of what used to be funny. I can't believe that this show gets high enough ratings to stay on the air for 20+ seasons. But, I suppose the standard has been set so low nowadays, it doesn't take much. I will always (regrettably) remember the episode where the winning clip was a baby sucking a spaghetti noodle up its nose. Good lord, what has this country come to to think that is actually funny? Won't be watching this show anymore.

I watched this back when they had their other host, um, what was his name? I forget his name, but he was on an older show with kids and I recall that his hosting of AFV was rather cheesy.

Tom does a pretty great job hosting, considering that your watching a show where people hurt themselves physically or have their ego's bruised by being seen in a silly or negative light.

I'm normally not into watching others suffer, but this show makes me laugh every time. I'm not sure why, because I do feel bad for those that get hurt or when something bad happens like a party getting ruined, but some of it is so funny that I laugh later just thinking back on it.

So, ignore the host, and if you've got TiVo or the like, you can just record it and fast forward past him, because the whole point of the show is the videos, not the host.

This was TV's first true "reality show," and boy, was it a doozy! It must have been a revolutionary concept at the time; but now, twelve years later, it's become lodged in our cultural consciousness.

But enough content analysis. This show was great! Where else could people win thousands of dollars for sharing their embarrassing moments with the entire country? And host Bob Saget was the icing on the cake. The video clips just wouldn't have been as funny without his zany voiceovers, in which he imitated everybody from Jerry Lewis to Sylvester Stallone. We usually saw him as "straight man" Danny Tanner on "Full House," so it was cool to see him be goofy for a change.

Many people have condemned this show for being mean-spirited and exploitative. That is a very unfair accusation. Obviously the producers at ABC got permission to use the tapes sent in by the people in them, and you could tell from the audience's reaction that it was always in good fun. And if you can't laugh at yourself getting whacked in the crotch by a golf club, how are you supposed to laugh at the antics of the Three Stooges or Itchy and Scratchy?

Kudos to this show, which proved once and for all that real life could be more hilarious than any Hollywood comedy. I just wish that Bob hadn't turned the reins over to Daisy Fuentes and John Fugelsang.
