    In conjunction to my other topic, here's one that deals with videos that you just hated, especially ones that won the prize, or were even nominated for that matter (but even if they weren't, you can go ahead and talk about them here)

    As I've stated in a previous topic, it seems that oftentimes, the videos that win are ones that aren't even vaguely funny, or even cute. Many of them are ones that feature bratty kids, like the kid screaming out the alphabet. There are a few others I remember, like the kids who began bawling their heads off when their Dad tells them that their mother gave birth to a girl, when they were hoping for another brother. That goes double for the kid who got a dinosaur for Christmas and he goes (in the presence of the people who gave him the gift, I believe), "I don't like dinosaurs!" Come on, a kid being rude wins the dough? Give me a break! There was one other one - I'm not sure whether or not it won, but I believe it was nominated. There was a wedding taking place at someone's home, and a nearby telephone started ringing. A kid said, "The phone!" followed by someone saying, "Shh!" The kid says, getting more worked up, "The phone! The phone!" Another "shh". Then the kid hollers, "THE PHONE'S RINGING!!" Would have been even funny if they dubbed in Carol Brady's voice, saying, "Stop that screaming right now!"

    I agree totally, I don't get why people send in those videos!

    ^Because they know the damn things are going to win, that's why!

    I saw a rerun the other night, where there was an elderly man who slept very soundly. The kids started screwing around with him, tying rope around his arms and legs and moving Gramps around like a puppet, and he didn't stir once.

    The video that won? Some stupid kid screaming the "Mickey Mouse Club" theme! The grandpa video wasn't even nominated. In the words of Nancy Kerrigan, "WHY??? WHY???"

    I forget what other videos were nominated, but none of them were anywhere near as funny as the puppet grandpa video. And I seem to recall that the "Mickey Mouse Club" theme one was by far the stupidest of the bunch.

    And I thought that the stupid videos winning went out with the Bob Saget era. Guess not.

    Usually, I don't like kid and pet videos. They're just too boring and they're cute, not funny (unless they're accidents, like the baby smacking his head into the window and the cat jumping off the couch).

    me of the ones I really hate are the ones where old people do not know how to use technology. Like when that elderly lady started using a microphone as a cell phone, I just don't find those funny.
