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.
Format[edit]
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.

Critical response[edit]
Writing for Common Sense Media, Melissa Camacho gave the series two out of five stars, writing that "...while some of the clips on Totally Weird and Funny may make you chuckle, the hosts' commentary about them make them feel less amusing..."[16]
