Totally Weird and Funny (also known as Totally Weird and Funny Videos) is an American clip show television series that premiered on April 8, 2023 on The CW. [1] [2] A production of Associated Television International (ATI), it is hosted by Mikalah Gordon, Brian Cooper, and Noah Matthews, with Matthews also serving as a writer and producer on the show; the three have been recurring commentators on another CW program, the similarly formatted World's Funniest Animals , also produced by ATI.

Contents

Format

In each episode, the hosts curate a collection of strange and humorous video clips sourced from the internet, social media, and elsewhere, with each host selecting ten clips of their own; a studio audience votes on these clips to determine which one is declared the evening's weirdest or funniest video and earns a place in the show's "hall of fame". Also featured during each episode is a game entitled "Real or Fake", in which the hosts present three unusual consumer products (similar to As Seen on TV products), only one of which is real; the studio audience and home viewers are then asked to identify the real product.
