Think before you laugh. When it comes to comedy the only though people have is laughter is very best m.e.d.i.s.o.n. I do not like slap stick hummer. I do not think it is funny to watch actors pretend to get hurt. I try to tolerate other people laughing at it. But at some point you just go to far. These are real people getting hurt. This is very sick when stop and think about. Some people are uptight about movies with people getting killed that have a lot of blood. And they are not real. L.u.k.a M.a.g.o.t.t.a filmed his murder and people gave him money to see it. Maybe it happened to some they did not know. Thats the excuse right. This is really sick. This is so mean n.a.t.u.r.e.d.

Tom Bergeron is my least favorite person. If Tom Bergeron, Hitler, and Osama Bin Laden were in the same room and I had a gun with 2 bullets, I'd shoot Tom Bergeron twice. The man is paid to speak puns. Terrible puns that even the eldest of grandmothers would not dare speak to their grandchildren, either out of compassion or fear of the scorn and rejection they'd receive from their family. 1 out of every 100 videos featured on this television spectacle of garbage could be considered funny by the average person. The rest are filled with pain, misery, or non-events.If you enjoy sitting down for an evening to watch a pathetic hack old man pander to the outdated idea of family humor by doing terrible voice-overs and repeating dry humorless punchlines to people getting hurt ad nauseam, then I implore you to find the nearest toilet and drown yourself in it.There was probably a point in time where this show was relevant, maybe even good. Now it serves as an awful televised version of youtube, where you cannot choose what you watch, everything is terrible, and your stroke survivor grandpa is making commentary about everything that happens in a desperate attempt to be funny over your shoulder. I would like this to be cancelled, so the money can be used for better things, such as sewage management or the production of crossword puzzles.

I knew lately that it was an old idea which came out at the end of the 1970s. I bet this taste of realism wasn't needed back then. However after getting saturated out of too many beautiful and glossy worlds, the call for that idea was on.It's 2 shows already. Firstly the days of (Bob Saget). OH MY GOD. This was historically funny. It had such a brilliant spirit. The introductions of the videos were so smartly written. (Saget) is one of the finest hosts I have ever watched. His commentaries during the video were incredibly creative and hilarious. The choices of the videos were mostly decent. And the musical montages couldn't be better, being a classic TV indeed.Then, the doomsday suddenly started. (Saget) vanished, along with all the brilliance too. And (Tom Bergeron) came in. Another OH MY GOD, yet in totally different sense !(Bergeron) is sorrowfully not only lesser, but untalented in the first place. The introductions became something to avoid. (Bergeron)'s commentaries during the videos are just silly. Actually listing to that very dry writing resembled eating sands. Even the shown material has gone weirdly bad. The show's intention transformed from lovely to emetic. Its comedy inclined to; farts, urine, etc (the 1990s and 2000s filth). The winning videos are disastrous. Hence the assured final result is : unfunny, or worse; alleging to be funny. And instead of being always enjoyed out of watching it, I come to be always regretted !So from no realism, to yes realism but nice, to yes realism but nasty. See how you can read the history of TV through this show. The problem is that in the nasty phase it lost the decency along with the knack and the laughs as well. If you're interested in watching farts, urine, and the like, then go to any dirty public toilet and live there for the time you want. And if you're interested in laughing then watch the first seasons and forget the rest. I still can't believe they're one show !

I agree with everybody else who said they DESPISE this sorry program. I certainly CAN'T stand Bob Saget ("Full House" also stunk), and Tom Bergeron isn't any better. And one critic was right on when he said this show is "just an excuse for people to make asses of themselves to win money" (I have a better title for it: "The Hour for the Artistically Challenged and Money-Hungry"). Simply put, this show is an insult to one's intelligence!I think the only reason "America's Funniest Home Videos" is still surviving is because the producers are PAYING ABC to keep the show on. But, if it's any consolation, the network has pitted it against "60 Minutes" on CBS Sunday nights at 7:00 P.M. Eastern time, so here's hoping "60 Minutes" continues to trounce "America's Funniest Home Videos'" ass in the ratings!Equally surprising was that when "America's Funniest Home Videos" was first syndicated in 1996 (a BIG mistake), the producers tapped MTM Enterprises, which former Chicago Sun-Times TV critic and nationally syndicated columnist Gary Deeb called "the class act of television," to distribute the reruns. Certainly, MTM had much better, and more intelligent, shows during its 28-year history, such as "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Rhoda," "WKRP in Cincinnati," and "Hill Street Blues." I am VERY certain the only reason why MTM said yes to distributing the reruns of "America's Funniest Home Videos" is because they knew they were then flirting with bankruptcy, and since their other quality shows were failing, they were desperate to stay alive! Since Mary Tyler Moore was then still the Chairperson of the Board of MTM, she herself should have told the producers of "America's Funniest Home Videos" "NO!" to syndicating this show! (MTM was dropped as an affiliated company by the Television South Corporation, better known as TVS, of London, England, near the end of 1995 after seven years - the result of poor management of the property on TVS' part - but was rescued in early 1996 by International Family Entertainment, Inc., a spin-off company of the Christian Broadcasting Network. Two years later, however, IFE itself was purchased by NewsCorp, parent company of 20th Century Fox; that buyout, sadly, meant the end of MTM as it was absorbed into 20th Century Fox Television. Now Fox syndicates the reruns of "America's Funniest Home Videos;" this program, in all honesty, seems more appropriate for a company like Fox to distribute, but if Rupert Murdoch and Co. were smart, they SHOULDN'T pay any more residuals to the untalented and brainless turkeys who submitted the "material" to this waste of time!)Here's also hoping ABC wises up after 16 years and drops "America's Funniest Home Videos" for good. I sure WOULDN'T miss it if and when it goes away!
