This is the only reason I watch the show. Hoping to see either an adult or child get hurt. Who wants to see a baby video with snot hanging from its nose and win $10,000 for it?

I think most of you fail to see how times have changed. This isn't the 90's when it was fun to watch some dad get hit in the nuts for half an hour. Or a dog doing something crazy. This show is mostly filled up with internet videos now. Mostly appealing to the youthful crowd. I still find stuff like a chubby kid almost falling out of the roller coaster funny. Especially since I saw it on a website before I saw it on there. And since it nearly happened to me on a viking boat that spins up and down. This show isn't necessarily aimed at families as much as it used to be.

Lighten up, Francis. The kids don't get hurt. They wouldn't show them if they did.
Obviously LOTS of people laugh at it considering the show's been on for 23 years. Slapstick always kills. Since you only have a problem with people laughing at kids, you must not have problem laughing at adults getting whacked?
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here. -

theres one video they show all the time where a boy and his mother (i think its his mother) are on some type of roller coaster type ride (i think the one that shoots straight up) and the kid slips out of the seat and is hanging on by the strap catching his neck and chin. the kid is rightfully terrified
That kid is so lucky he's alive. -

Since when it it funny to see kids get hurt? Since when was it NOT funny to see kids getting hurt?
We aren't taking medical-emergency issues here so tone it down with the baby worship.
Civility is just a warm and fuzzy name for censorship. -

LOL, that.
Some videos DO look quite painful and make you, "Ooooooh.! Glad that wasn't me." But apparently none of them ever resulted in anybody actually being severely injured or killed, so you need have no qualms whatsoever about laughing. If the people involved can see the funny in the situation after the fact, then so can I.
In the interest of time, let's agree to disagreeeven though I'm always right. -

You know what I find more disturbing? The fact it seems like I see a lot of videos on this show which show children naked. Censored or not, it's disturbing. At least to me, it is. A baby with no clothes? That's okay. A 3-4 year old? Crossing the line.

No, it's not just you. This has been my protest since the beginning of this show. I was injured five years ago in a relatively common accident but I've been fighting this long to get the right medical attention and am finally turning a corner from a myriad of health complications (from something that really wasn't "that bad.").
I didn't like the show for that reason prior to my own injury and whacky journey through medical h*ll to find a real solution. I can't even bear to allow anyone in my household to watch it since then. I was NEVER the kids that laughed at the kid that tripped or spilled his/her lunch or was somehow ridiculed for no reason. It's very, very cruel.
