When the end of the day rolls around sometimes, I just need to cuddle with Bae and laugh our butts off with some funny reality TV shows. Same? It’s not always easy to find a hilarious comedy in the middle of all the drama. While sometimes the drama can be funny, other times you’re again left watching a catfight Real Housewives of Atlanta style. No thanks, funnies instead? Ready to laugh?

Funny Reality TV Shows That Will Make You Laugh Every Time
America’s Funniest Home Videos
America’s Funniest Home Videos premiered on ABC on January 14, 1990. The show wrapped up its 26th season on May 22, 2016. AFHV features funny homemade videos that are sent in by television viewers. These videos often feature unintentional incidents, mishaps, and accident featuring adults, children, and pets. Currently, Alfonso Ribeiro is the host of the show and has been since the start of season 26.
Impractical Jokers
Impractical Jokers premiered on TruTV on December 15, 2011. The show just wrapped up their 5th season on May 12, 2016. Impractical Jokers involved hidden cameras and practical pranks. The show stars four comedians, who were high school friends: Joseph “Joe” Gatto, Brian “Q” Quinn, James “Murri” Murray and my personal favorite Salvatore “Sal” Vulcano. During each episode, they persuade each other to perform public pranks, which is filmed on camera. None of the guys know what the prank details. One of the guys is up first, so he is told to do something like walk up to an elderly on the street. They guys all have microphones attached to them, and the guy taking part also has an earpiece so he can hear what the other guys are telling him to do. If he fails to complete the prank, he is given a thumbs down. In the end, the one who has the most thumbs down is punished in a manner that is disgusting, scary, humiliating and embarrassing.

Thanks for these tips as the Children are off for summer, I find they need some stimulation and fun stuff o do. Te Library is no longer a FUN place to be for them now…teenagers lol!
I love watching impratical jokers and America’s funniest videos, it just lets you sit back and relax for a bit, after a long day at work. I am ready for the seasons to start all over again with new episodes!
I love America’s Funniest Home Videos. However, I haven’t watched it too recently. We don’t do T.V. much in my house. These all sound like great shows though.
America’s Funniest Home Videos is really the only one I have watched that much and like. I don’t care for the Impractical Jokers, from the few episodes I’ve seen previewed – not my type of humor and the fact they laugh so hysterically at themselves is rather annoying.
I am always looking for something to make me laugh. Love Last Comic Standing. Thanks so much for sharing this!
I will have to check out some of these for a good laugh this summer. Thanks for such an awesome list. 🙂
America’s Funniest Videos is one of our favorites! I used to watch it as a kid, and now even my son watches the show, too.
It’s always fun to watch TV shows with friends or family especially this summer, when we have more time to do that! I really like these suggestions, AFV is a classic favorite!
Great line up of comedy reality shows! It’s really awesome that to be able to watch this after a long day! I’ve always enjoyed America’s Funniest Home Videos and Punk’d!
I’m still a huge fan of America’s Funniest Home Videos! That show never gets old, as far as I’m concerned!
I didn’t know AFV was airing new episodes, to be honest. Now that I know, I’ll start watching again.
I have seen Punk’d and Impractical Jokes out of the list. I love both, they are funny!
I love watching reality TV shows anytime & the funny versions are really exciting to bring some mood change. America’s Funniest Home Videos was the best in providing the entertainment you need to the core.
