America's Funniest Home Videos
A couple of characters make a funny video and send it to a TV show similar to America's Funniest Home Videos (or the actual show). Usually they try to stage a funny "accident," but it doesn't work.

Appearances
- Bottom: Season 3, episode 6, "Carnival" (1995). During the "annual Hammersmith riot," Richie procures a BBC video camera. After trying and failing to make some serious videos, Eddie suggests they make a funny video for a show called "Jeremy Beadle's Viciously Hilarious Domestic Violent Incidents." They stage a hilarious domestic violence incident, but Richie forgot to put a tape in the camera. He then gets the brilliant idea to send in a blank tape, saying the joke is they forgot to record the video altogether, so they watch the tape and discover an incriminating clip of the prime minister.
- Moone Boy: Season 3, episode 3, "Fecks, Lies and Videotape" (2015). When Padraic shows him his new video camera, Martin gets the idea to shoot a funny video for a show called "You've Been Framed To Look Like a Big Feckin' Eejit" (YBFTLLABFE). They're sure to win £250 because—as there are only 300 video cameras in Ireland—the show only has two videos. They spend the day trying to set up a funny "accident," but Martin isn't satisfied. Then, as he's helping Fidelma and Dessie move into Grandad's house, Martin records Dessie getting attacked by a bat, and it becomes the third video in regular rotation on YBFTLLABFE.
- The Goldbergs: Season 2, episode 20, "Just Say No" (2015). Barry is obsessed with American Gladiators, and he asks Adam to help him make an audition video, which is mostly just Adam hitting him with things. His clumsy antics are so funny that when Adam sends the tape to America's Funniest Home Videos, Bob Saget actually shows it on the air.
