It's just complete and utter crap, isn't it?

Does anyone find it funny?

Nope.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 11/01/2018 21:10

God, haven't watched it since I was a teen, how is it even still going? I used to be desperate to submit something as they paid £250, which was a fortune for a 13yo. Years later it was on in the background one day, and I was on it! Some random stranger had filmed me and sent it in.

Sallystyle · 11/01/2018 21:11

DH just had it on and he actually laughed.

Mind you, he only laughed at the videos of animals.

I was shocked that he managed to laugh at any of it.

The thing I find odd is despite the prevalence of mobile phones, the majority of clips seem to be from 1980's USA....

ThisLittleKitty · 11/01/2018 21:15

It's not actually a new show is it? So I don't think it really is still going just looks like repeats because all the videos on there are very old looking (some even have the date on and none are recent)

ChasedByBees · 11/01/2018 21:17

Jesus, that must have been so weird! Why were you doing that was film worthy? (If it’s not too outing)

Maudlinmaud · 11/01/2018 21:21

Nobody finds it funny do they?
I recall a clip from years ago that had lots of people jumping on a stage and then they all disappeared out of shot, because the stage collapsed. That made me laugh quite a lot. But mostly I just wince and hope the person is OK. It's mainly accidents really.

PinkChestnut · 11/01/2018 21:24

I loved it as a kid. Saw few minutes of it a year ago and just winced it's mostly accidents! Plus no jeremy beadle anymore

ThePinkOcelot · 11/01/2018 21:43

DH sometimes watches it. I can’t bear it. Have you seen the dates on the clips?! Most of the kids will be grown up with kids of their own!!
Plus, I think the majority are set up. Why on earth would you be videoing some of the things that are on. Crap.
Ahh and plus, I hate Harry Hill! He is so not funny!!

Iseesheep · 11/01/2018 21:46

I put it on for the dog. She loves it.

DozyDoates · 11/01/2018 21:47

For some reason when I was pregnant with DS I found it the funniest show ever, like tears streaming down my face funny.

TheQueenOfWands · 11/01/2018 21:48

Watching people injure themselves is never funny.

If you're into that kind of stuff watch Final Destination.

PollyMycroft · 11/01/2018 21:50

The DCs liked it when they were little (they called it 'People Falling Over'. Grin Now we like Takeshi's Castle.

NorbertTheDragon · 11/01/2018 21:52

I like funny animal clips, most of the human stuff is very set up.

Also my DS has ASD and once when he saw a lady fall over he laughed out loud, and shouted "Like You've Been Framed" because obviously we'd been laughing at clips of people falling over and he didn't have the social skills to understand it's not the done thing when it happens in real life. Blush

Missonihoni · 11/01/2018 21:55

Bet the partner of the mnetter who's daughter fell of a horse and couldn't stop laughing loves this show. Sadistic weirdo Grin

brizzledrizzle · 11/01/2018 21:56

It's awful, they should have stopped it ages ago but I'm a misery guts

LemonysSnicket · 11/01/2018 22:38

I found it funny in the 90s ...

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 13/01/2018 09:23

Chased I was in a go-cart race earlier and the other kid crashed. I had a video of it myself as it happens (big local annual event) but it didn't occur to me to send it in!

HelloGabriel · 13/01/2018 10:50

It's difficult to enjoy as an adult as so many of them had obviously been 'set up' for the money.

Why would you film someone walking into a PVC door, for example? Nobody is that intuitive Wink

fairgame84 · 13/01/2018 10:56

DS loves it. I would probably tolerate it if it wasn't was Harry Hills commentary. He's awful and never been funny.

etap · 13/01/2018 10:59

Amazed it's still going (is it?).

Kids falling over is always amusing though, hehehe.

Sokuto · 13/01/2018 11:17

Can't stand it. So boring, nothing funny about it. It's the same as watching a friend's home videos, completely boring. Plus it's obvious that half of them are set up.

TenancyTroublesAgain · 13/01/2018 11:25

I used to when Lisa Riley was on it years ago. Saw it recently and didn't laugh once.
