Disc 3 has the funniest collection of clips, which is no surprise because it is the Battle of the Best, a two-hour special from 2002 that showcased videos from the first 12 years. A panel of celebrities discussed and allegedly selected the finalists, one of who would receive an all-expenses-paid, seven-day trip to Maui worth $25,000. It was a very odd panel, though. It made sense to have comedians Kathy Griffin and Martin Mull. Although they have contrasting styles, they are very humorous. The other two panelists were rapper Coolio and Olympic skier Picabo Street. Nice people, but two unknowns picked off the street would have been able to make similar contributions.
Fans of the show will love having this set to watch these clips at their leisure although it’s hard to believe that there isn’t a 24-hour channel devoted to funny home videos and bloopers caught on tape. It’s not a non-stop laugh riot, but causal fans of people falling into lakes and off of roofs might enjoy it. It would make a good gift for a family.
I end with a personal plea. Not for world peace, but a more attainable goal. To everyone who appears on television, please stop using the Carol Burnett signature ear tug. It belongs to her. It’s not cute when anyone else does it and just shows how uncreative you are. The mother of The LaMontange Family who sent in “Smitten with a Kitten” does it twice and I want to reach through the screen and smack her each time, which might be amusing for the rest of you if I record it.

I saw AFV last night on wgn and (1-12-96) saw an animal clip that just floored me, I could not stop laughing. I would like to know how to get a copy of the show that had it. It was of a white parrot that did not have any body feathers. It was standing on the backrest of a couch or chair and a bald headed man with glasses was sitting in it. The bird was side steping back and forth and squacking and laughing. It was one of the finalist for the one hundred thousand dollar shows but didn't win, it was called the "cockatoo step". In this segment the one who won was "oh glory". Can anyone tell me how to get a copy of that show? Thank you. elmsap[Deleted]
