History YMMV / AmericasFunniestHomeVideos

** Another video of a kid who accidentally took a restaurant's reusable cup home in the car and his mother was recording him and telling him she's going to report him to the cops or something similar and, surprise surprise, it won at the end of the episode it was shown in. The voters on this show really need to learn that it's ''America's '''Funniest''' Home Videos'', not ''America's '''[[KafkaComedy Cruelest]]''' Home Videos''.

** There was one clip where a kid was crying because he had diarrhea, while the mom was just filming and laughing; only the family dog was being nice to the poor kid. The worst part? ''This won the $10,000 prize.''

*** Don't worry; the parents of Toilet Paper Roll Cake Kid got mercilessly mocked when the clip aired on truTV's ''Series/WorldsDumbest'' a few years later. One commenter (Billy Kimball, IIRC) even said, "Yeah, how dare you get good grades, you ''nerd''," in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

** Heck you could say any time a video shows ''anyone'' getting hurt, which is most of the
time.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Again, any child/baby doing something "cute" that shows up as a finalist, regardless of whether the cute thing was actually ''funny.'' They tend to win about 95% of the time too.

* RecycledScript: Recycled ''clips'', to be specific. As early as the Fuentes/Fugelsang era, old clips were being shown alongside fresh ones, albeit with new commentary. Most of the music montage segments were built on editing old clips together since the show's earliest days. Slightly justified in that the show is not as popular as it once was, and combined with the rise of online video (it doesn't just cause NetworkDecay!), it's reasonable to assume that the supply of fresh material has dwindled. Only fresh clips are eligible for the weekly prize.
