Okay, America’s Funniest Videos is one of those shows that is either really funny or not particularly funny. Tonight I was watching it and saw some hilarious shots. The segment was about marching bands and sports teams. (I was in marching band in high school, so I could relate. Well, sort of.)

Anyway, some of the shots were people in marching bands falling down. As the musicians do their show, sometimes they have to walk sideways or even backwards. Now imagine one person tripping and falling down. The people walking backwards in front of them can’t see and start falling over the person. Or a drum line where it’s hard to see over the big drum you’re carrying, so you can’t tell when the person in front of you falls. What a riot!

Even better was the cheerleader that got in front of the banner that the football team burst through. Ha! There were several versions of that, with basketball or football teams crashing through and running over people that were in the way.

Violent? Yes! Funny? Definitely! And, as usual for funny home videos, they’re funnier when you see them than when you read about them.

A 94-year-old legally blind woman in Centralia, Washington, recently bowled a 244! She could see just enough of the floor to line up in the lane, then her 86-year-old husband had to tell her which pins were still standing. Not that there often were–EIGHT of the 10 frames were strikes!
