AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS: STUPID CUPID (TV)

Summary

One in this series of comedy programs which exhibit home videos sent in by the viewing public. In this episode, host D.L. Hughley presents a series of Valentine's Day-themed and romance-related mishaps.

Categories of video mayhem include: "helpful hints" for dating life; young love and first crushes; wedding-vow mistakes and surprises; unusual first meetings; "Lethal Weddings" and cameraman mishaps; wedding-cake hi-jinks; elaborate proposals, including one atop the Eiffel Tower and a pre-taped television commercial; unglamorous post-wedding behavior; reception accidents; mischief from babies and children; awkward kisses; and "The Forbidden Tapes."

Hughley then announces the three winners of the $5,000 prizes: "Priest Splashes Groom," in which a priest is a bit overzealous with the aspergillum during a wedding; "I Do," in which a nervous groom accidentally responds to the priest's requests for objections to the union; and "Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary," in which an elderly couple sweetly celebrates their golden anniversary with plans to renew their vows. Finally, the $10,000 prize is awarded to "Reception Deception," in which a blindfolded groom removes a garter from a surprising participant. Includes commercials and promos.
