Why do people watch this garbage when there is youtube?


Even more pathetic are the people who actually attend tapings. I can see evfery single one of these lame videos on youtube, only without the stupid commentary and lame puns. This is the kind of show that has a target demographic of 80 year old women who don't know how to use a computer and think that dogs running around in circles are hilarious.

You may stumble upon a few genuinely "funny" home videos that have been uploaded via YT, but that's a real crapshoot...AFV is a well-assembled production with commentary that enhances the comedy of tons of clips (and sometimes the commentary is what makes a clip worth a chuckle.) I don't understand how it's possible not to love this show, unless one is utterly devoid of any sense of humor whatsoever. I also like "World's Dumbest," which is kind of like a non-kid-friendly version featuring would-be criminals, drunks, etc., caught on camera in all their brain-addled glory.


In the interest of time, let's agree to disagree--even though I'm always right.
