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.

Emotional child abuse
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?

Best family show ever!
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!

Great show for (almost) all ages.
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.

Are gladiators next?
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.

You idiots! This is not slapstick!
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.

VIOLENT AND ABUSIVE
This show should be banned!! When it is ever funny to watch people, especially children, get hurt and humiliated?? It's excessive violence and it's overwhelming popularity is right in line with the increase in violence we see everyday on the news!! This is NOT funny!! And children should not be programmed into believing that humor is found in such humiliating and hurtful situations. TERRIBLE SHOW

a bad and CRUEL show.
i used to love this show but now i think it's awful and cruel. People shouldent put humilating videos on tv and then laugh! That's cruel! and whats even crueler is when people get hert in the videos they still laugh! Does that Tom guy ever stop and think how that would make the person feel? No he dosent!!!!!!!!! A very bad show with very bad rolemodels. A show that is bad for anyone to see!

Okay for children 8+
It's really not that bad, there's no sex, no language, and the violence is mostly slapstick. There's no more violence here than in Looney Tunes.

Hilarity and Slapstick humor combined!
I really enjoyed watching AFV (ever since I was a little kid)because of the hilarious things that can happen outside of the sitcom. It's nice to enjoy unscripted comedy! But, I think some younger audiences might not be too intrigued by the humor (might be a little too adult persay?)

A funny show with great clips
AFV is the best. I enjoyed it as if Bob, Tom, or Bob and Daisy were comedians. It's amazing how I chuckle at it. Mabye, but just maybe our family will bring George Washington baby to AFV in 2008. I hope Bob Saget is still on air since 1992. George Washington baby is when at the beggining, I say "Look, there's George Washington. Elyssa is in the bath tub with a George Washinton soap due. I hope our film will win 3rd place for $2,000 2nd place for $3,000, 1st place for $10,000, or one of the best for $100,000.

This is a beyond bad tv-show...
AFV is beyond bad. It shows people in potentially serious situations (Dirt-bike accidents, poolside slipping, tons of crotch jokes, etc.) One of the "games" that they play is called "head, gut, or groin?" Participants take turns guessing where the subject of a video clip will be hit. The host delivers moronic commentary, and many of the videos are mature. (Drunk adults staggering around, adult nudiy that is blurred, but still there.)Most of the movies are more sad, embarrassing, and dumb than funny.

Too cruel
Making fun of kids getting hurt, especially babies? Mistreatment of animals is not funny either.

Good family entertainment
Overall, this show provides outstanding family entertainment, though some parts may be objectionable. I don't recommend it for kids under 12 due to some nudity/blurred body parts and mild to moderate violence. If you haven't watched it, check it out and laugh yourself silly! It's a great show for the whole family!
