I just watched this new video show and must admit, I had one small chuckle. This was one about a guy who fell asleep and people kept waking him up to ask the time. None of the PICKS OF THE WEEK were even remotely funny. Whoever screens these videos should really give their sense of humor an extreme makeover. There was hardly anything funny about this whole show. I had been wondering what had happened to Arsenio Hall. He must have ran out of money and got really desperate to accept this job. The writers should have stayed on strike where they didn't have to inflict their bad taste on the rest of the world. I had set my DVR to record these shows, but have since erased all of them. Find something better for Wednesday night like going to the dentist.

I tend to watch a few shows at a time (aren't remotes great?) Somehow I stumbled onto this bomb. Mr. Hall looks to be in a little pain, here. Funny show? So was my root canal back in '67. I went back to the dentist multiple times before the job was complete. I learned from that. I will never go back to this bomb again! Laugh? Well, I was in tears! But it wasn't from laughter. It was from a little pity and a LOT of pain. The other show I was watching was on Animal Planet about this dude getting eaten by a laughing hyena. Now, THAT was funny! I was laughing, the hyena was laughing...you get the picture. The World's Most Funniest Moments is anything but funny. Looks like America's Funniest Video's throwaways. It almost seems that the "show" is TRYING to be annoying. I DO recommend trying to watch it for a bit just to let everyone know what rotten creators and producers there are out there. But animals tearing up people is funnier. Television has room for only one of these types of shows. Leave it to Americas Funniest Videos. Most of the ones they show are lame enough as it is. With most everybody having home computers, we need but one (if that) "Funny Video" shows.

Worst show in this genre I've ever seen. Stretched painfully to one our. Arsenio made me feel bad for him, as they lean on him to fill time in between pretty lame clips. But all that isn't worth writing a lousy review about. What got us going crazy was how obviously many of the clips were staged.

They were usually in homes, with no good reason someone was filming, with the same kind of camera work, and all with lame payoffs like knocking over and old TV, or breakaway glasses with a trumpet.

If you're going to lie about showing viewer clips, at least produce them cleverly.

Ugh.

The World's Funniest Moments is a show with a format similar to that of America's Funniest Home Videos, except that the videos aren't nearly as funny, and there are also various viral videos from the Internet. This show pales drastically in comparison to AFV. First of all, Tom Bergeron is a funny person. Although Arsenio Hall can also be funny, Bergeron actually looks like he's enjoying his job. Hall, on the other hand, looks as if he would rather be somewhere, anywhere, else. Also, the videos are much dumber than those on AFV (I'm willing to bet that the people who sent in videos to WFM were turned down by AFV).

No wonder MyNetworkTV is the second-lowest rated major network (the only major network with lower ratings is Ion Television).

I Have watched Arsenio hall for years on TV and have never seen him do any thing funny.He was OK in the movie coming to America with Eddie Murphy who carried him but that was all. why he is still on the air is beyond me.the show the worlds funniest moments is junk.so maybe we can get a petition and get him off the air before he bores us to death.i seriously think he needs acting lessons maybe then we could tolerate his presence.until then we have to watch every crappy show hes in or hosts.where did he go to acting school did he go at all?.the videos on the show the worlds funniest moments are not all that funny and i predict it will soon be canceled it in my opinion is a ripoff of AFV.well that's about it for now thanks for letting me blow some steam.

In a genre of television, monopolized by one particular program, the 2010-2011 season of World's Funniest Moments shows lots of potential as a home-video show contender. Season 2 brings an all new flavor, replacing solo act Arsenio Hall from Season 1 with an ensemble of new talent, good writing and segment production, and just some good ol' fun and laughs!

Kind of like a cavalcade, the presentation is shared by several personalities, with main emcees Erik Estrada and Laura McKenzie. Chris and Kyle Massey (Zoey 101 and That's So Raven, respectively) refresh the hosting duties with funny stunts during the episode, including silly competitive games with the audience. Additional video challenges, where contestants can win money (like convincing random people to adopt a live swarm of bees), also make for some very hilarious moments. Too funny!

Live television + taped home videos + reality TV games = well-rounded, interactive, reality television show. I see lots of potential here with their current formula, but this valiant effort has only one exception to its goodness. World's Funniest Moments sometimes plays outdated recycled clips (like the girl falling face-first on the treadmill from 2-3 years ago). Because they sometimes define themselves as a viral video show (and viral videos are often already replayed and become stale quickly), it's one of those necessary things to showcase recent clips that have not yet met their expiration date. I am certain that if they could afford to acquire some fresh videos, this WFM upgrade could be solid gold.

While there are a lot choices for comedy entertainment in this world. However, none quite encapsulate the essence of The World's Funniest Moments. I am a historian of comedy and Connoisseur of comedy. The World's Funniest Moments is at the top of my list.

New host duo Erik Estrada and Laura McKenzie add some humorously inventive interventions between clips and commercials, and then guide us through a collection of silly home-made clips. In the last episode I saw, this TV show upgrade also featured great bits with Christopher Massey (Zoey 101, Santa Paws) and Kyle Massey (Dancing With The Stars, That's So Raven), where they played funny games with the audience (remember the show "Double Dare"?). Very refreshing, especially when a show about video-taped spontaneously funny moments is able to create and record some on the spot. Additional plus marks: Some newer videos that I've never seen, the audience looks a lot happier, and the outtakes are short and witty. Too bad it's on at an awkward time during the weekend; it used to be on at night (on Wednesdays, I think) for all to see. Oh well. Still, a big quality boost for sure.

This show is up there, or more correctly, down there with "Wishing I Wasn't Watching the Krdashians" or "The Alleged Housewives of (fill in the blank) ".

I am more disappointed with this show, because I expected more out of it. Those other shows, I don't expect anything and so I'm not disappointed.

It looked so much like "America's Funniest Videos" that I expected to see Vin Di Bona's name in the credits. That's how completely they stoled AFV.

Most of the videos shown looked like they had been staged. I mean, why would anyone have a Christmas tree setup outside, with presents under it and people sitting around it with a camera rolling when you first turn on the lights-AND it just happens to catch fire? Poorly done fake setup!
