Australia's Funniest Home Videos (AFHV, also known as The Video Show, originally Graham Kennedy's Funniest Home Video Show in its first season and Australia's Funniest Home Video Show until 2004) was an Australian television show on the Nine Network that presents home videos sent in by viewers. It is the Australian counterpart to America's Funniest Home Videos, which was also created by Vin Di Bona.
Storyline[]
The show is similar in content to You've Been Framed! and America's Funniest Home Videos, which was also created by Vin Di Bona (which was based on Tokyo Broadcasting System's Fun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan). The videos frequently feature slapstick and lowbrow humour such as people tripping over or animals behaving in amusing ways. Most videos are overdubbed with a voice-over and sound effects. In a deal with various foreign producers of similar shows, some imported clips are used, in exchange for home-grown videos from Australia.
Each new Australian video shown on the programme received $500. At the end of each episode the audience watching at home can choose their favourite video of the night from a selection of 4, via telephone and SMS voting, with the winning clip receiving $10,000. At the end of each year, winning clips compete in a semi-final and grand final, where in the most recent seasons third place received a home theatre package, second place received a prize package worth around $100,000 (typically with two or three cars), while the winner received $250,000 in cash (although in 2012 the winner received $150,000).
