Funny or Not?
Not sure that "America's Funniest Home Videos" is necessarily THE authority on what is and isn't funny . . . but after 21 years on the air, at least they have some data they can use to try to figure it out. "America's Funniest Home Videos" just released this list of the six LEAST-FUNNY STATES in the U.S., based on how many times those states have had a video that was voted the funniest of the week by their studio audience. The problem is, they didn't weight it by population, so you'll notice a connection between states with small populations and a low number of wins. But did you really expect a rigorous academic study from "America's Funniest Home Videos"? Regardless, in the past 21 years, here are the least-funny. . .
#1.) Washington, D.C., zero wins
#2.) Rhode Island, one win
#3.) Alaska, two wins
#4.) North Dakota, two wins
#5.) Vermont, three wins
#6.) Wyoming, three wins
They didn't announce the win totals for other states, but they did say California has had the most winners. But remember, Californians have sent in over 100,000 tapes over the show's history. People in D.C. have only sent in 404. Read more HERE
