America's Funniest Home Videos

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.

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!!!

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 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 registered just so I could reply with "mmm pointy" in regards to "See, you tune in expecting comedy, and walk away gagging yourself with a pointy stick." and furthermore I agree wholeheartedly. The only other thing I can think of regarding home videos and pictures is the infamous slide shows I remember people having in the 70's. The commentary is horrible, the Hollywood Squares yosh was bad, but nothing like Bob Saget! That dude sucked on, what was it, full house! Will people just laugh at anything or do they need some help with THC? It's also amazing at the good things they kill off and the crap they leave on the air for years on end. At least the Simpson's are still on...
