Happy Memorial Day Weekend From These ‘AFV’ BBQ Fails

It’s Memorial Day weekend, and if you’re like most people you’ll be celebrating the unofficial kickoff of summer with an outdoor barbecue. No doubt you’ll take all the regular safety precautions — keeping children away from open flames, keeping your grill clean, etc. — but have you prepared for all the America’s Funniest Home Videos-style mishaps seen in this video? They include but are not limited to: Being startled by flame and falling into a koi pond; setting crotch of track suit on fire; getting knocked over by a child driving a motorized jeep, and oh, so much more.

So enjoy your Memorial Day weekend, folks, but as Sgt. Phil used to say on Hill Street Blues, let’s be careful out there. (And really, watch out for exploding ketchup.)

AFV airs Sundays at 7 p.m. on ABC.
