Ho ho ho everybody. If you’re anything like me, you’re spending the holiday season listening to Christmas music, shopping for presents, and praying to God to finally put America’s Funniest Home Videos out of its misery.
And yes, I’m not joking. The show is still on the air. Since 1990, AFV has been playing clips of children stumbling over things, animals doing relatively mundane animal things, and adults being kicked in the testicles. I have no idea who is still watching this show, but if you take a look at this video clip, you’ll see nothing has changed since the last time you watched it over a decade ago. You most likely won’t make it past 45 seconds into the video.

Other than that guy in the still frame looking kind of like a middle-aged Tinz, nothing about that was particularly funny or surprising. Hell, we’re almost in the year 2011 and most of the clips used in the show are from 1993 or earlier.
I have no idea how AFV has been able to endure this long when the Internet is home to thousands of hours of funny videos that are infinitely more hilarious and genuine. You may know them as Epic Fail videos. An epic fail is when something goes so hilariously wrong for a person, they fail harder than anyone could ever have possibly imagined.
If AFV wants to stay relevant, they must change their name to America’s Most Epic Fails, recruit Bob Saget as host once again, and move to Spike TV. Each episode will feature the Internet’s most hilarious failures and Saget will provide disgustingly offensive voiceover commentary.
AFV producers, if you take my idea, please send me $15,000 in prize money. That is, unless Tosh.0 sues you for being too similar, in which case this blog post never happened.
AND NOW FOR THE LULZ, LET US WATCH EPIC FAIL VIDEOS!
This first one may be the most epic fail I’ve ever seen.

And now some compilations. Enjoy the fails!
