    Countless numbers of channels have attempted to make a show like America's Funniest Home Videos where people submit in their family clips. Well this show is what made all these Top 20 things on TruTV and such possible. The show has a great host Bob Saget, and a majority of the clips are pretty funny. A couple clips though with the serious, permanent injury's are not very funny. Other than that, this is a great show. I also love the Christmas and other Holiday specials they do as well. I hope this show stays on the air for many years to come.

  • A show that is supposed to always be funny all the time fails miserably at that, but when it IS funny, you will laugh so incredibly harder than you expect you would because it is just so hilarious.moreless

    Most of the videos in this show are just people falling down and getting hurt. While this is funny(when it's not you), it gets old and boring after awhile. And while sometimes they do show other funny videos involving animals, babies, and people, they only do that stuff occasionally. Most of the time it's just people falling and getting hurt. I would say that makes up about 75 percent of the show. I want to see some new material. After awhile, it is not funny anymore because that's all they show over and over again. It's called America's Funniest Home Videos. It's supposed to have a wide variety of different funny things from different videos. But it doesn't always. That makes me mad and lowers the show score down to a 7. But I still do like the concept and idea of the show. And when they do show other things, they are just hilarious and break my laugh box. Even though there is no such thing as a laugh box. I crack myself up. What I mean by that is, laughter is so funny that it hurts. Sometimes I can't breathe, and sometimes it makes me cough. It's just so hilarious. Some hilarious things I've seen from videos include dogs and cats pestering each other, escaping from a cage, or dancing in an unusual, amazing fashion, babies laughing, cursing, or doing something amazing, and a whole lot more crazy stuff. Sometimes, things can be gross, disgusting, and disturbing. Like I saw a noodle come out of a baby's nose when he sneezed. EWWW!!! In a weird way though, it is still funny. There are other nasty things that I can't remember at the moment, but trust me, they make you want to turn away from the television screen, but you can't because they are still funny in a weird way. For some people that is. For others, they just will. Overall, AFV could use some work on getting rid of excessive falling and getting hurt. That would be a big help to us viewers who want to see FUNNY stuff. Sigh. However, the other stuff that they show is so magically and powerfully hilarious that the high amount of funniness makes up for the over showing of falling and getting hurt. When they show people falling and getting hurt because of their stupidity, it is funny. But when they show people falling and getting hurt because of something that it not their fault and out of their control, it is not funny. It is serious and makes you wonder what kind of sadistic people would laugh at that. All in all, I would say check the show out.moreless

  • After 21 years of the SAME things: people falling and hurting themselves, pets and kids doing something stupid or hurting themselves, much better videos are now available on youtube.

    After 21 years of the SAME things done over and over and over again: people falling and hurting themselves, pets and kids doing something stupid or hurting themselves, much better videos are now available on youtube which are much funnier and more up-to-date.

    Also, all the videos are grainy and look like they're from the last century. The people in the videos are not normal people, they seem not to notice the internet age or still using super8 videos to tape themselves doing stupid things. What kind of morons still tune in week after week to watch this rubbish on tv?moreless

  • America`s Funniest Home Videos aired October 17, 2010. Bad taste, poor decisions with airing child and animal abuses.

    Tom Bergeron your show aired 10/17/2010 went way over board with the tottler abuse from moron parents.
    Lamp shade on a tottler running into the stove.
    Little girl tricked into picking up poop.
    Very sick parents as well as your show.
    As well as the animal abuse you aired. NOT FUNNY.
    They should be reported and your show should and eventally will be cancelled because of the continued airing of this junk.
    With our T.V. viewing eyes your show America`s Funniest Home Videos is now cancelled.
    It will be very hard now to put up with hearing and seeing YOU on Dancing with the Stars.
    Thank god for DVR`s mute and fast forward. YOU s_ _k big time and no longer funny.moreless

  • Well, it's a really funny show. But I must say, it doesn't get it's humor on its own.

    Normally, I think if this show was only the home videos without the annoying host, this show would get a 10. However, despite the show having a retarded host, the show's funny. Even though it's humor relies on accidental home movies shot in a gorilla-stle manor. I must say, despite this, I grew up watching this show, and I always loved it. Personall,y because of it's always new humor, it'll never go out of season. I really don't know what else to say, except that this show deserves some of the praise it gets. Well, thanks for readin' folks. Good night.moreless
