America's Funniest Home Videos

America's Funniest Home Videos was a show where people send in their home videos of situations gone awry in hopes of winning $10,000 for funniest video of the show, and then have a chance to win ten times that amount, $100,000, for funniest video of the season. The most common videos usually feature slapstick physical comedy arising from incidents, accidents and mishaps. Other popular videos include humorous situations involving pets or children, while some are staged practical jokes.

The show was rebranded to just AFV in 2001.

Theme Lyrics
The Funny Things You Do (1989-1996 version)

We've got laughs from coast to coast

To make you smile!

A real life look at each of you

To capture all that style

You're the red white and blue

The funny things you do

AMERICA! (2x) This is you

Stories from your friends next door

They never told

You might be a star tonight

So let that camera roll

You're the red white and blue

Oh the funny things you do

AMERICA! (2x) This is you

The Funny Things You Do (1996-1997 version)

Oh, A real life look at each of you

To capture all that style (Yeah)

You're the red, white, and blue

The funny things you do

AMERICA! (2x) This is you

Stories from your friends next door (next door)
