TruTV's Top Funniest (named Top 20 Funniest for its first season) was an American caught-on-tape/hidden camera show on truTV. The show featured numerous comical clips, most often involving people being injured, similar to that of the deaths in 1000 Ways To Die.{{cite web|url=http://www.mbc.net/en/mbc-action/articles/Top-20-Funniest-.html#comment%7Clist|title=Top 20 Funniest|publisher=MBC.net|accessdate=June 18, 2014}} It aired weekly on Tuesday's at 9:30 pm. It premiered on May 23, 2013.{{cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/trutv-top-funniest/552037|title=truTV Top Funniest|publisher=TVGuide.com|accessdate=June 18, 2014}} Sixty episodes have been aired. Mokean Melvin was the show's narrator for the first two seasons. He was then replaced by Charlie Schlatter for the show's third and final season.
In its inaugural season, each episode had different theme such as "What Was I Thinking?" and "Fantastic Failures." Out of the 100 videos showcased per episode, 20 videos were on the main countdown, and were showcased at the end of a series of videos based on the central theme that night.
For the second season, the countdown was dropped and each episode had videos grouped into different categories, which was seen in a sidebar on the right of the screen. The sidebar was discontinued for season 3 while keeping the same clip format from the previous season.
On March 12, 2015, truTV renewed the show for a third season. The third season consisted of 22 half-hour episodes and premiered on May 5, 2015.{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/03/12/hack-my-life-how-to-be-a-grown-up-barmageddon-trutv-top-funniest-renewed-for-new-seasons/374332/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315060415/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/03/12/hack-my-life-how-to-be-a-grown-up-barmageddon-trutv-top-funniest-renewed-for-new-seasons/374332/|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 15, 2015|title='Hack my Life', 'How to be a Grown Up', 'Barmageddon' & 'TruTV Top Funniest' Renewed for New Seasons|publisher=TVbytheNumbers|accessdate=April 1, 2015}}{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2015/tv/news/trutv-six-degrees-of-everything-series-order-1201451508/|title=TruTV Renews Four Series, Orders New Unscripted Comedy|date=12 March 2015 |publisher=Variety.com|accessdate=April 1, 2015}} There has been no talk of any more episodes.
