America's Funniest Home Videos kicks off its 17th season with all-new animal antics, practical jokes and hilarious footage of what happens when adults, children and even inanimate objects are at their spontaneous best. The season premiere will also mark the beginning of a year-long promotion, the AFV Dream Vacation Sweepstakes, with magical Disney vacations awarded throughout the year, and a final Grand Prize dream vacation to three Disney destinations awarded in the season finale.

The joy of victory and the agony of defeat are featured in a montage of tennis and ping pong mishaps. Also, comical clips of a pastor who passes out in the middle of a wedding ceremony, a baby who has a funny reaction to oatmeal, and some kids who decide to wax their dad's back.
