The World's Funniest Moments

In a genre of television, monopolized by one particular program, the 2010-2011 season of World's Funniest Moments shows lots of potential as a home-video show contender. Season 2 brings an all new flavor, replacing solo act Arsenio Hall from Season 1 with an ensemble of new talent, good writing and segment production, and just some good ol' fun and laughs!

Kind of like a cavalcade, the presentation is shared by several personalities, with main emcees Erik Estrada and Laura McKenzie. Chris and Kyle Massey (Zoey 101 and That's So Raven, respectively) refresh the hosting duties with funny stunts during the episode, including silly competitive games with the audience. Additional video challenges, where contestants can win money (like convincing random people to adopt a live swarm of bees), also make for some very hilarious moments. Too funny!

Live television + taped home videos + reality TV games = well-rounded, interactive, reality television show. I see lots of potential here with their current formula, but this valiant effort has only one exception to its goodness. World's Funniest Moments sometimes plays outdated recycled clips (like the girl falling face-first on the treadmill from 2-3 years ago). Because they sometimes define themselves as a viral video show (and viral videos are often already replayed and become stale quickly), it's one of those necessary things to showcase recent clips that have not yet met their expiration date. I am certain that if they could afford to acquire some fresh videos, this WFM upgrade could be solid gold.

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.

I Have watched Arsenio hall for years on TV and have never seen him do any thing funny.He was OK in the movie coming to America with Eddie Murphy who carried him but that was all. why he is still on the air is beyond me.the show the worlds funniest moments is junk.so maybe we can get a petition and get him off the air before he bores us to death.i seriously think he needs acting lessons maybe then we could tolerate his presence.until then we have to watch every crappy show hes in or hosts.where did he go to acting school did he go at all?.the videos on the show the worlds funniest moments are not all that funny and i predict it will soon be canceled it in my opinion is a ripoff of AFV.well that's about it for now thanks for letting me blow some steam.

Ugh.

The World's Funniest Moments is a show with a format similar to that of America's Funniest Home Videos, except that the videos aren't nearly as funny, and there are also various viral videos from the Internet. This show pales drastically in comparison to AFV. First of all, Tom Bergeron is a funny person. Although Arsenio Hall can also be funny, Bergeron actually looks like he's enjoying his job. Hall, on the other hand, looks as if he would rather be somewhere, anywhere, else. Also, the videos are much dumber than those on AFV (I'm willing to bet that the people who sent in videos to WFM were turned down by AFV).

No wonder MyNetworkTV is the second-lowest rated major network (the only major network with lower ratings is Ion Television).

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.
