The Funny Things You Do

These days, video platforms like YouTube and TikTok, along with cell phones with amazing cameras, have made it so that, for better or worse, just about anyone can upload a video of just about anything. But there was a day when if you wanted your video to be seen by more than just your family, your only hope was mailing it to a TV show.

To be honest, I miss those days. Now it feels like there are more videos than I could ever make time for, and at least half of them are terrible, so how do I know which ones to watch? I miss the days when Bob Saget and the team at America’s Funniest Home Videos would carefully curate videos for me, show them with some witty banter… and at least half of them still turned out to be terrible, actually.
