The World's Funniest Moments (MyNetworkTV)
common sense media says
Iffy AFV wannabe is mediocre at best.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that, like America's Funniest Home Videos, this series often laughs at people's misfortunes -- including painful physical mishaps. Though many of the videos' subjects get hurt, viewers never find out how badly the victims were hurt. Some videos feature pranks or stunts designed to shock or cause probable injury (skateboarding down steps, for instance); expect some intermittent strong language and sexual references.
Positive role models:
You wouldn't want your kids imitating the kind of stunts/behavior that get people on this show -- especially some of the more dangerous antics. Laughing at others isn't exactly ideal behavior to model, either.
Violence:
Many clips show people suffering falls, collisions, and other mishaps (snowmobile roll-overs, getting crushed by the garage door, being dragged by a parachute, and the like) that can cause injury, but there's no follow-up to indicate how badly they're hurt. Some segments feature stunts gone wrong, and the host always reminds viewers that they shouldn't try what they see on TV.
Sex:
Sporadic and mild: A few suggestive narrative comments during clips that show women in bikinis, for example. In one segment, the host mentions "getting it on."
Language:
Rare use of "damn" and "son of a bitch," with "bitch" edited.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
