Glad I'm not the only one
Twister, I agree that there can be some cute ones. But once you see a real fixation/obsession (like real life, not in a video or something like from the Dog Whisperer), you will be able to recognize it instantly from there on out. You can tell by the dogs facial expression and eyes and posture wether it's spinning is a psychological problem or wether the person behind the camera is signaling it to spin over and over again. You can tell wether a dog chasing a laser light is well cared, psychologically healthy and is doing it for exercise and enjoyment or wether a dog is totally fixated on that laser.
I sometimes enjoy watching AFV because of people's stupidity. But the ones that bother me the most are when people do something that can get them seriously hurt or when it involves children getting hurt. There was one a while ago where an adult had their child on a little sled. The child started going too fast and the adult was racing to keep up. The adult lunged and slid and grabbed the rope on the sled to stop it. Well the sled swung around and stopped, but the child kept going, hit it's head and flipped causing it to do a full head stand ( no hands) on the ground before falling over. That was NOT funny, that baby was no older than 2.
Here's one more that annoys me.....Videos of people scaring cats or something because their reaction is funny. Like a person was teasing a cat with a fake doll and the cat was obviously cautious and skittish. They then jerked it forward towards the cat very quickly and the cat went flying. Another is when a baby was on the floor playing with the cat and the cat was over half way inside a clear plastic jug. The child then started to bang on the plastic jug causing the cat to spook. The cat then went flying.
