Let’s be honest, the phrase “bathroom humor” doesn’t exactly scream sophisticated comedy. But sometimes, a well-placed squirrel in a toilet can be just the ticket. “America’s Funniest Home Videos” understands this delicate balance, and in Episode 3506, airing Sunday, November 17, on ABC, it looks set to deliver another dose of its signature chaotic energy.
This week’s installment will feature the usual mix of birthday catastrophes, kid calamities, and pet-related pandemonium. Birthdays, in particular, seem ripe for disaster. Whether it’s a rogue candle setting fire to grandma’s wig or a face-plant into the birthday cake, “AFV” is a reliable source of schadenfreude-tinged amusement.
Beyond the birthday blowouts, a segment featuring a young girl’s elaborate ruse to stay home from school and watch TV should resonate with anyone who’s ever faked a cough to avoid a math test. Let’s be real, haven’t we all been there?
But the real main event (or should I say, “mane” event?) involves a man and a squirrel engaged in a territorial dispute over a bathroom. The specifics are unclear but I’m thinking levels of slapstick chaos that could rival a vintage Looney Tunes short.
Tune in to ABC on Sunday, November 17 at 7/6c for Episode 3506 of “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” It’s likely to be an hour of pure, unadulterated silliness, and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
