America's Stupidest Home Videos is a television show seen in the Season One episode, "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut".

Background

America's Stupidest Home Videos is a parody of the America's Funniest Home Videos. Like its real world counterpart, they were both hosted by the late actor/comedian Bob Saget; in real life, however, Saget quit hosting America's Funniest Home Videos in 1997. The show is broadcast by the HBC Network, which is a parody of the NBC Network, and is a contest based on viewer content depicting cute animals, babies, and people getting hurt, for a chance to win a $10,000 prize.

"Little Boy Has A Tea Party"

When Eric Cartman is absent from school, school counselor Mr. Mackey sends the boys on an undercover assignment to videotape Cartman. He is spied on in his backyard while playing "tea party" with his toys, which consist of Rumpertumskin, Polly Prissypants, and Clyde Frog. While watching America's Stupidest Home Videos with Marvin Marsh, Stan Marsh and Kyle Broflovski come up with the idea to send in their spy video. Stan and Kyle win the 2nd place prize of $3,000, which is used for a DNA test to discover the identity of Cartman's father.

"Young Child Gets Hit By A Train"

While trying to start a go-cart, Kenny McCormick got dragged behind the vehicle, trampled by cows, and ultimately run over by a train. When the finalists were presented, the Kenny video won. Marvin Marsh filmed Kenny's death and received the $10,000.
