If you could control America's Funniest Home Videos... you could controll the world.

Really.

Like that thing with people freaking out, and a ferret. The actual person isn't funny at all, but putting it next to a ferret makes people think it is. If you control the Ferret, you control the minds of the masses. Think what you could make be funny just by use of the AFHV, and then, once everyone thought it was funny, you could get away with doing it OFF television.

Like throwing eggs at cats, or cutting random people's hair off at a bus stop.

Or even just something with no comic value whatsoever, like holding an onion in the air or scratching your nose. Stuff that's really, really, boring.

If you can be the Person in the Box of Light, you can make people laugh at whatever you want, and once they think it's funny, you can do it WHENEVER you want.

1. Hmmm
I wonder if people would ever think drinking a six pack and eating a whole pizza was funny.

3. Yeah...but you'd have to add a gimmick.
Like, "How much pizza can this guy eat before this goat blows up?"

2. I'd settle for getting my darned cat out from under my feet. nt
