America's Funniest Home Videos

What can I say, I'm a simple man.

The original "American Dad" Bob Saget would show epic fail videos before the internet was a thing. I remember him laughing throughout his hosting duties. Later, after learning about the "real" Bob Saget, he was probably high as shit the entire time.

I haven't watched in years but from what I remember it ends up being about 20-40% funny. Meaning if the average clip last from 5-10 seconds, there are between 1 and 5 laughs per minute (usually more in the 1-2 range which is not great for a show spending no time on set ups). However, due to the unique nature of the number zero, this show is infinitely more funny than the Big Bang Theory. Aren't I so quirky and nerdy for making a math joke?! HIRE ME CBS JUST FUCKING HIRE ME I CAN BE A HACK FORYOU

Holy fucking shit, I can't believe this show is still on. It's almost as old as I am. *gets hit in the balls, stock sound effect plays*

It was really funny stuff when I was a kid, but ultimately, the show's purpose has been pretty much replaced by youtube. As an adult, most of these sorts of youtube videos, and by extension this show, have both lost their novelty on me and I no longer find them funny. I don't really hate the show by any means; it's really just harmless fun even if it isn't necessarily funny.

Has gone on way too long and Saget was the only host worth mentioning. If you like assholes making fools of themselves, tune in. Who doesn't like a good golf ball to the ball bag?

Agreed that the least funniest seem to win & it was rendered mostly useless by Youtube, but I think the producers screened it for good taste most of the time, which was an advantage over YT - the whole family could watch it without awkwardness or risk of anyone getting upset. So it was pretty unifying to watch with family & that leaves me a little nostalgic.

Only good when Bob Saget was on. RIP.

OK show. Then you find out the winners of these shows is a kid who has a cute puppy or some kid involved doing the stupids videos.

It was okay, but the themes became overdone if you watch more than a season of this. There are gems in the rocks if you look for them.
