The Rugrats episode "America's Wackiest Home Movies" is a hilarious homage to the beloved show, America's Funniest Home Videos. In it, Grandpa Lou somehow manages to win the $10,000 even though Drew and Stu get hurt. Grandpa Lou is the real winner, though, so I guess I can see how that happened.
YouTuber Nalts did a hilarious parody of AFV in one of his videos. He called it AFB, which stands for America’s Funniest Bloopers. Nalts’ parody is so funny and clever, it might be even better than the original! If you're a fan of AFV and have a sense of humor, this is definitely worth checking out.
In an episode of *The Simpsons* and one of *CatDog*, there are hilarious parodies of *America's Funniest Home Videos*. In the *Simpsons* episode, Homer laughs at a video of Hans Moleman getting hit in the groin by a football. He thinks it's so funny that he demands that Hans win the prize money. In the *CatDog* parody, the show is called "Winslow's Home Videos," and host Winslow shows funny clips of the titular duo. This clip can also be found on the VHS release of *The Rugrats Movie*.
AFV has shown up in a lot of unexpected places, and I really like what they did with it in the Disney Sing Along Songs episode, "Pongo and Perdita." It was parodied as "Hot Dog: America's Funniest Dog Tricks," and the song "Do Your Ears Hang Low?" played while the show was going on. I'm pretty sure that's most people's favorite song about dog ears, too, so that's a great choice for the parody. One of the best AFV parodies I’ve ever seen was Fox’s In Living Color. They called it “America’s Funniest Security Camera Videos,” and it featured funny security camera videos. Jim Carrey played Bob Saget in this skit, and he was spot on. I always loved how Jim Carrey could do any impression. He and Bob Saget are so different, but they both have a knack for finding humor in the most random places.
Almost Live! also did a great job with their parody. They called it "America's Funniest Most Wanted," and John Keister played a Bob Saget-style host. This one was great because it featured funny crime videos. It's a great way to mix things up and keep the videos fresh, and it's a great way to keep the audience laughing. AFV is the king of funny, but this parody is a queen in her own right!
I recently learned that America’s Funniest Home Videos has been parodied by many TV shows and movies. For instance, in 1995, America's Funniest Home Videos was parodied on Saturday Night Live as “America's Funniest Hate Videos.” It featured humorous videos that were truly full of hatred and was hosted by Bob Saget with an edited version of “London Homesick Blues” .
In another Saturday Night Live segment, “America's Stupidest Home Videos”, in the season one episode “Cartman's Mom is a Dirty S*ut,” South Park parodied America's Funniest Home Videos.
In the Dinosaurs episode “Family Challenge,” the Sinclairs watch a parody of AFV called “Pangaea's Funniest Home Injuries,” followed by “Pangaea's 2nd Funniest Home Injuries.”
MTV's Pirate TV did a parody called “Central America's Funniest Home Videos.”
And on the Disney Channel, The All-New Mickey Mouse Club did a parody called “America's Nuttiest Home Videos.”
America’s Funniest Home Videos has been parodied in many different ways, including on Caroline’s Comedy Hour, South Park, The Annoying Orange, and more. For example, the show was parodied on Caroline’s Comedy Hour as “A&E presents History’s Funniest Home Videos,” which I found to be both funny and educational. It’s interesting to see how a show like AFV, which is already full of so many funny moments, can be made even funnier through parody.
