and America's Funniest Home Videos, which was also created by Vin Di Bona (which was based on Tokyo Broadcasting System's Fun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan).
The videos frequently feature slapstick and lowbrow humour such as people tripping over or animals behaving in amusing ways.
In a deal with various foreign producers of similar shows, some imported clips are used, in exchange for home-grown videos from Australia.
At the end of each episode the audience watching at home can choose their favourite video of the night from a selection of 4, via telephone and SMS voting, with the winning clip receiving $10,000.
In line with the new season in 2000, the show received a refresh in updated video graphics, set recolouring and a brand new theme song with vocals provided by Australian session singer and songwriter, Marty Cobcroft, in a rock-based arrangement.
In the summer of 1999, the show celebrated its 10th birthday, hosted by Kim Kilbey and featuring special guest Frank Bennett, to perform his single "Beautiful People" alongside the Sydney Children's Choir, who sang a special arrangement of the show's theme song along with Jo Beth Taylor.
On 31 December 2003, the show celebrated its 14th birthday, which included segments "As The Camera Rolls", where Toni is wearing a feather scarf and Bridge (Richard Wilkins) is wearing a pirate eye patch, an appearance by John Burgess of Burgo's Catch Phrase and videos from past grand final winners.
Other features includes appearances by Julie Goodwin, Justice Crew, the cast of Hi-5 and a special visit from former host Toni Pearen.
During the show Shelley Craft paid tribute to honour inaugural presenter Graham Kennedy who died in 2005.
It was planned to be a 60-minute broadcast, but due to complaints from both viewers and then-owner on the Nine Network Kerry Packer, was taken off the air part-way through the first and only episode, making it the only Australian television series to have done so.
