America’s Funniest Home Videos has been
entertaining people since before I came to this earth. Personally, each time I
happen to watch an episode, I either laugh to the point where I almost pee my
pants or I feel a weird sensation of pain whenever something messed up happens
to someone.
Anyway,
this blogpost is dedicated to the show, Fishbowl Worldwide Media, and the
perks that social media and technology have had on television.
It
was recently announced that Fishbowl (I had the pleasure of working for this
company back in September on Upload With
Shaquille O’Neal) has partnered with Fullscreen, a company that operates
YouTube channels that reach over 35 million viewers a month in the country.
Fullscreen will work on rebuilding and rebranding the current AFV channel and targeting a younger
audience (that’s a good idea, cough cough). The channel currently has fewer
than 30,000 subscribers and it was launched a year ago.
"We are
very excited to be collaborating with Fullscreen to market, engage and reach
new audiences on YouTube," says Bruce Gersh, CEO of Fishbowl.
This
is a good move by Fishbowl, considering that besides producing content for
digital platforms, there is a big demand for “funny” videos on YouTube. It will
be a great way to interact with younger audiences and have a bigger following.
I’m wondering if the show will keep airing on TV considering the success of the
online platform. What are some funny videos you enjoy watching on YouTube?
