For all you youngins out there, AFHV was our YouTube, our Vine, our 9Gag, our TikTok, etc. Before everyone had a camera in their pocket, there was the Camcorder. It went through many iterations before it became user friendly. I remember having to carry a camera on one shoulder and a VCR on the other when I had to help my dad do videoing jobs. Eventually, the video recorder got to be a handheld device and enough people had them that AFHV was born.
Bob Sagat was the show's first host and boy were his jokes and puns terrible. Little did I know that the audience was instructed to laugh, because I was thinking, "How do they find this funny?" But the videos were funny.
I don't know what the format is now, but then the people who submitted a video had the chance to win $10,000. It was a great ploy to get people to make and submit videos. Now, all the funny content is online and people upload them for likes.
score 8/10
