First of all, Tom Bergeron is NOT on this DVD, even though the product info on Amazon says he is and Bergeron being listed on here was the main reason we bought this DVD... WOW do we feel misled and cheated. If we'd known who IS on the DVD, we wouldn't have opened the wrapper.
The two shows on this DVD are from 1996, and Bob Saget (talentless hack that he is) is all over these shows. There are maybe one or two clips in between Saget's un-funny and very dated LONG comments. The shows are filled with cheap and creepy props and lame skits that make us wonder yet again how Saget ever got onto AFV in the first place.
Most of the clips on both shows are just not funny (including some just plain cruel treatment of some animals -- several cats, a couple of dogs, and other critters), and Saget's caustic comments about women and children are appalling... not that his calling certain men 'Tubby', 'Tubb-o', and 'Lard-o' is anything to be proud of, nor should he be proud of making rude comments about chubby or overweight kids, 'at last, something this kid WON'T eat!' and 'wide load, comin' through, honk honk', as well as 'she can't dance... heck she can't even see her feet!'
Do yourself a favour... give this DVD a miss. You won't miss this stinker.
If there was a rating lower than one star, it'd get that rating instead.
AFV: shame on you!!!
And for anyone who doesn't like Tom Bergeron: at least he doesn't humiliate, degrade, and berate the people whose antics fund his paycheque, which is far more than can be said for low-brow troglodite Saget. Bergeron has class!

Okay - more clips, but less dialogue/music please

My kids, 3 and 5, enjoy a lot of the silly clips that they see on AFV and I purchased this set for them. Surprising to me, they have not shown great interest in these dvds. I think one of the issues is that the dvds include MUCH of the dialogue by the hosts, including the AFV theme music as they go to AND come back from commercial breaks. The music and dialogue combined contribute to the majority of time in these videos. In short, if you were to actually calculate the amount of time devoted to clips, it really doesn't amount to a whole lot more than you would catch in a typical episode on TV. I guess I/we expected to see a greater compilation of clips given the longevity of the show.

Great to have in your funny dvd collections!

I bought this as a family gift for our family which includes a 7 yr. son and 10 yr. daughter. To get three dvd's in regular size dvd cases is nice, compared to the flimsy clear cases you usually get in a collection pack. I consider it a great investment (I paid just $15.99)as it's one of those dvd's you just pull it out when you feel like having a great laugh together. Now, I will say, the AFV Looks at Kids & Animals with Bob Saget was not very funny. We hardly laughed in this one, including my kids. Bob had some really corny fillers in between the videos and I mean corny - SentarBoy? - Half boy, half animal? I would have been very disappointed if I had just bought this video as even the clips aren't all that funny. The other two in my opinion make it up. The Battle of the Best has some funny dialogs between the celebrities (beware of the phrase using "hell" that is used by one if this is offensive to you. This has some screamingly funny clips. The clips are longer too which I like. The All Animal Extravaganza is very funny too - several clips you may have already seen on youtube. This has Tom Bergeron as a host and he makes everything funny in my opinion anyway. Whether you have kids or not, if you like AFV, this will be great to add to your collection.

Perfect for seniors battling dementia.

I ordered this for my father who is suffering with dementia. He laughed hard like he used to, tears in his eyes. He can watch it over and over and be happy which in turn makes us happy.
