Is there anything more comforting than the predictable rhythm of America’s Funniest Home Videos? It’s like a warm blanket woven from pratfalls, kiddie meltdowns, and the occasional pet shenanigan. This week’s episode, “So Many Laughs, So Little Time,” appears poised to deliver the usual dose of easily digestible chuckles. What fresh horrors, I mean hilarity, await us?
Well, it seems toddlers losing their tiny minds over utterly inconsequential things is still comedy gold. So, expect a montage of miniature humans dissolving into tears because their goldfish cracker broke in half or their sock has a wrinkle.
And because AFV understands the universal language of baked goods gone wrong, there’s a clip of a woman experiencing a cupcake catastrophe while driving. We’ve all been there, right? Okay, maybe not with cupcakes specifically, but who hasn’t suffered the indignity of a drive-thru disaster?
Finally, because everything old is new again (or at least recycled for internet virality), the episode features the “uncooked pasta prank.” You know the one: unsuspecting individuals are startled by the sound of snapping dry spaghetti, presumably believing their home is under attack by a rogue carbohydrate army. Highbrow humor at its finest.
AFV is a show that knows its lane and stays in it. It’s comfort food television, a reliable source of mild amusement for the whole family (or anyone with a tolerance for screaming children and clumsy adults). If that sounds like your cup of tea (preferably one that hasn’t exploded in your car), tune in.
America’s Funniest Home Videos airs Sundays at 7:00 PM on ABC.
