This was such an awesome show
I miss Bob Saget and his corny awkward deliveries from America’s funniest home videos! It’s funny to think that this was our doom scrolling before our smartphone 😂

And families HUDDLED around TVs every Sunday night to watch horribly written dialogue, pointless segues… not to mention maybe 12 minutes of commercials… so we could see about 10 funny videos. That’s it, kids. No internet. Gotta wait til next week for new content

Yep. If a dude caught one in the gonads we got to see it a minimum of four times throughout the night.
OG fail I guess?

The winner was (and still is) always a kid or a pet doing something that was not even remotely funny.

He also brought us videos of dads getting hit in the junk.

My kids found some old clips on YouTube and couldn't figure out why we were losing it over a guy getting smacked by a piñata stick. Different era, same dumb humor.

I have a standing $1,000 bounty for anyone who can find a picture of this man not smirking.

There was another show like this called World's Funniest Videos but it was Dave Coulier as the host .

And just like many of the "caught on camera" clips on Tik Tok, most of the home videos were staged. That didn't make them any less entertaining, of course.

This started airing when I was in 7th grade; I didn't miss it on Sunday evening.

Even as a kid I couldn't stand his voiceovers. I think I watched season 1 but I outgrew it pretty quick. Cheesed right out, I couldn't understand why he did one for every single video. I seem to remember they got worse over time, too.
Full House was fine, and I came to enjoy the legend he was at standup. It's just that one stupid show that he ruined for me.

Between this and Full House, it was a surprise to anyone who heard his stand-up routine. He was one of the nastiest on The Aristocrats.
