Birthdays. A time for joy, celebration, and… utter chaos? At least, that’s the premise fueling this week’s installment of America’s Funniest Home Videos. If the saccharine sweetness of birthday parties makes you gag, then this episode’s montage of frosting-fueled fiascos might be the perfect antidote.
Sure, heartwarming family moments are all well and good, but let’s be frank – a dog stealthily demolishing a three-tiered cake while the birthday girl looks on in horror is far more entertaining. Or how about the toddler, face smeared with chocolate, vehemently denying any involvement with the missing cupcakes? And who needs meticulously planned party games when you have a woman inadvertently unleashing a swarm of angry wasps from a festive piñata?
This week’s episode, “So Many Laughs, So Little Time,” looks set to provide viewers with all this and more. From toddlers taking their first disastrous bites of cake to grandparents engaging in ill-advised dance-offs, the spectrum of birthday-related blunders appears comprehensive. If you’ve ever questioned the wisdom of letting Uncle Jerry near a flaming dessert, this episode will likely validate your concerns.
America’s Funniest Home Videos airs Sundays at 8:00 PM on ABC.
