Just gotta say, AFV is very biased, and it's starting to bug me.  For those who don't know AFV is the new America's Funniest Home Videos.

Anyway, the audience I swear are not the brightest of people, every time they camera looks at them, they're laughing like mad at stupid things. Which itself is kind of funny  Grin

But the winners...ohhh, the winners... I really think that the audience doesn't vote, but a panel of old ladies behind the scenes. Because about 8/10 times, a cute little kid that says something mildly funny, always wins.

Such as the one I just saw, little kid is covered in paint, mom finds her, and starts asking her questions. Like "what did you do?" "do you think this is funny?" and the little kid just answers them...this video goes for about 2 minutes, I stopped caring about 20 seconds in.

The second they played it I thought...thats gonna win, at the end it was, of course, a nominee...and of course, it won the 10,000.

So thats my rant, just little kids win the prize every time. Not saying I don't like the show, it always makes me laugh, but I always do something else when the kid section comes on.  Anyone else think this way? Or am I alone here?

America's funniest homevideo's? That show still exsists? I liked it when I was a kid, when commercial TV started in Belgium some 17 years ago in 1989... It grew old very quickly... trust me, there is better humour and commedy out there... don't waste your time on it...  Grin

I rarely watch TV anymore, but when I do happen to see that show, I usually turn it off when they announce the winners. I agree, it's always the little kid cutey crap that wins. The funniest thing I have ever seen on TV was a video on that show where a squirrel climbed down a tree and into a deers antlers and the deer freaked out, and flung the squirrel into a tree. Cheesy But it wasn't even a finalist. Roll Eyes

On a side note, I'm surprised that that show is even popular in other countries. I know people here wouldn't watch "Croatia’s Funniest Videos".

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks the show is rigged. The clips that are funny don't win, and the dumb clips always manage to win. It's funny how it happens every time. Grin

Just cause it's on doesn't mean we watch it. Tongue Grin
