Parents need to know that some home videos show people getting hurt. Many of the clips are practical jokes that are degrading and some cross the line when it comes to the ethical treatment of animals. Videos also poke fun at normal kid behavior.
Positive messages:This show (and others like it) encourage viewers to laugh at others' misfortunes -- which doesn't seem so bad when it's a mild pratfall but is much iffier when the clip makes it look like someone really got hurt. Some of the clips feature degrading practical jokes and questionable treatment of animals.
Positive role models:Some of the people in the featured videos are clearly shooting for their 15 minutes of fame; others don't seem to mind that people get hurt if the result is a funny video.
Violence & scariness:People are frequently shown being injured or inflicting injury on someone else.
Sexy stuff:Nudity and implied sexual behavior. Blurred body parts.
Language:Occasional inappropriate language is bleeped.
This is the best tv show ever, the violence makes me laugh, plus it's not too violent for an example a little toddler smacks his dads head with a plastic baseball bat or 2 little brothers are fighting and one push his brother to the ground. Even though it's want the audiences to laugh
My whole family very much enjoys this show, but parents be warned: there are very many sex-related videos. (although I think they're very funny :) ) For example, a little girl is reading a book entitled THE MAGIC OF SEX. Another video is at a wedding when a family of brothers is sharing their thoughts with the bride and groom. When it comes time for the 6-year-old to say something to them, he says "I hope you have sex!!" There are some other videos including things according to a woman's period. I would say it's clean other then what I just mentioned.
If you want to see someone fall down and go boom this is the show showing all the funniest clips in america.No matter what anyone,anyone says ill always watch afv
AFV is funny, but it shows many inappropriate things. To start, there is too much violence. For example, many animals, young children, and babies get hurt. Also, there are many suggestive themes in the show. For example, one video featured a line of men in kilts with a bride in the middle of the line ready to take a picture. At the time of the flash, the men turned around and lifted their kilts up! Wedding bells censored it! Also, there is obvious cussing. It is censored, but when Tom cusses it is not censored. Also, Tom mocks other's misfortunes by calling them "nincompoop," " dummy," "doofus," etc. Next,some videos are drinking-related. For example, kegs are often being shown opened and spewing everywhere. There is one negative message: watch someone else's misfortunes and laugh at them. The people on the show are not good role models. This is a very funny show, but sometimes it tries too hard to be funny. This is what I think about the show AFV.
Great family show for laughs and fun. I can remember always waiting for this to be on when I was little, was one of my favorite shows. Most "violence" is comedic and in good nature, nudity is obviously blocked. This is what our family would always watch (and still do sometimes) during dinner and lunch!
Rating:TV-PG M(IFFY)The show is played just for laughs V(IFFY)Lots of comedimic Pratfalls S(IFFY)Nudity is censored with a black censor bar L(IFFY)Language is bleeped out. Now Parents, I know what you're thinking. This show should be TV-MA because of nude,Right.Wrong. This is a Family show and that's why it's TV-PG.
I love this show an di am watchign it righ tnow actually! I started to watch the show when I was about umm 7 I guess I can't remember but I did like it.
Most videos are funny and make you laugh, such as a boy stops crying once an adult leaves, then follows them, and then keeps crying once he reaches the adult. Others are not so funny, as a man skiing falls from a high height and is injured. You will often find videos that aren't good for kids, so make sure you watch it with kids 11 and under, and be prepared to change the channel at the first sign of something inappropriate.
Really funny and cool show. The role models can be negative, as younger kikds may be inspired to do the funny stuff on there. Overall, if you understand this isn't people PURPOSELY (usually) trying to hurt each other, this is a fun show to watch.
Very degrading, especially one where a happy toddler was the butt of a joke having to do with the pronunciation of the planet Uranus, and when the family was awarded the top prize, she sat on her mother's lap with the saddest face I have ever seen. Where is the prize in crushing a child's spirit?
On AFV, I just switched channels and saw a man getting hit solidly in the forehead by a woman swinging a baseball bat as hard as she could. The man fell to the ground and was out cold. No one watching the show ever knows if he died or ever recovered from this horrendous accident. Are we, as viewers so jaded and insensitive that watching people get seriously hurt is now considered entertainment? I have enjoyed the funny clips, but strongly object to the ones where people get seriously hurt.
Imagine a TV show that aired Quasi-Snuff-films for an hour. Horrifying, right? "Yes" you say, with a gasp. Yet somehow, you people keep this crapola on the air. What's so comedic about people getting mortally injured? Well? Well? Exactly. What if you, or even better, your small infant child, were in a serious accident that could have killed them? Now pretend someone video taped them. It appears on TV now, a little child falling out of a three-story window, onto concrete? Hilarious stuff, right? Wrong. This show should be taken off the air. "Free speech!" You yell ignorantly. Wrong. The First Amendment was not intended as a right to broadcast pornography or snuff films. It was intended for making political speeches without your neck becoming intimately familiar with a noose.
