Few things bring people together like seeing something funny in the wild. You could be on a road trip with your worst enemy (though I don't know why you'd be in that situation in the first place), hating their guts and swearing them off at every chance. But if you pass a road sign that says "Welcome to Bohio" instead of "Welcome to Ohio," you would have no choice but to share a moment of laughter. It would bring you together, at least for a moment.

Why? Because it's funny when people mess up. That's the whole conceit of America's Funniest Home Videos. They sure aren't videos of people succeeding at being people, no. It's funny because they're making a mistake. And mistakes are human. And humans are inherently funny. That's the beauty of this list, which embraces that concept to its fullest. Enjoy the spoils, and tell your friends.
