I don’t think it’s an “old” thing I mean there is still plenty of good stuff like this nowadays although nowadays most of it is individuals on RUclips as opposed to actual tv shows But even like impractical jokers or whatever that show is called has a lot of the same concepts and humor just using various simple concepts. I’ve seen other ones too that are good too even if they’re more complex like the ones that involve magic tricks and stuff. Even though it uses technology I don’t think that that makes it any worse
I went my whole childhood watching this program and waiting for my opportunity to be on candid camera. Soon , I learned life is a series of real life pranks
The reveal to the first woman was hilarious. She was going to look into that camera and give it a piece of her mind, but switched her attitude brilliantly when she heard "Candid Camera".😂😂😂
Shows like this are made all over the world. The reason why it couldn't be made in America today is because of the fear of hurting some MAGA moron's feeling and getting shot.
I’m impressed with the capacity for critical thought, these people seem to possess, that no longer appears to exist, 20+ years later. These people seem to have a basic grasp of their individual rights.
🎥 Dearest Mr. Funt, Thank you for sharing these gems! I enjoy watching some of the older clips where your Dad would prep the audience to what they were about to see in his unmistakable New York accent. P.S. I enjoy your current essays/observations featured on the candid camera website. The NY Post recently covered a story about the demise of AM Radio’s in cars - - a topic that you brought to light months ago!!! 🎯
2:20 The way this woman is blinking in a rapid rate is absolutely amazing, she is really bothered and confused by the fact she needs to change her name. What an excellent scene.
Its scary to know that so many people fall for this even though its unbelievably ridiculous. A reason why there are so many successful scammers out there.
A couple of points, first point, they don't show the people who didn't fall for it, which I suspect would be the majority second point, They only show those that consent to being on TV, you do have a choice
This show was still funny in 2000. The host Peter Funt’s father started candid microphone in 1947 then candid camera in 1948 and was on until the 70s. Then it was on again and off again up until 2014.
@@roberturibe3150 the video was about candid camera, the comment was about a prank being tried in California and not working, and here you are day dreaming about Donald Trump 😂😂 TDS is real 😂🤣
Back when this was filmed in the year 2000 the federal government asking someone to change their name seemed unbelievable but now in 2023 seems quite plausible.
This is very interesting actually. The relationship we have with our names is weird. We didn't pick it and lots of times we don't particularly like it but we're attached to it even though we can change it if we want.
I'm very happy with my name... would you be very happy to be on television... Yes I would to tell my story... Well look over there you're on Candid Camera😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I'm proud of them all, wholly rejecting it, flat out, no way, end of issue. I wonder how youngsters of today would react. I bet they'd be fine with it, eagerly looking for a new name to choose.
No matter what a person's name is they don't want to change it. It is what identifies us and what we identify with. Not surprised that no one jumped at the chance to change their name. 😂😂😂
I would like to change MY name. I have a very common name, too. It's a lot of hassle because there are two other guys with the same names on the Immigration hold departure order list . One of them is wanted for rape, the other one for estafa. Everytime I travel abroad it's so difficult because the Immigration authorities have to verify that it's not me that's wanted for those crimes. Yes. I'm from the Philippines.
I decided I wanted to continue to look at those lovely legs of the female host rather than people who were dismayed because their last name was being changed for them. 😂
IF your relative 200 years ago did something frowned upon by people who also were not there and not alive does not like it, it might happen. Funny! Not funny!
Love it! I'm a Giguere..from Giguere the Conture in 1580. I WOULD NEVER change my name. Its funny that alot of people mispronounc my last name..😅Only Franch or French Chadians get this name. GIGUERES RULE!❤😂 🤘🙏🏼🥳 Any replay from all Gigueres would be AWESOME 😮. EVER FORWARD GIGUERES
RUclips did this to me a year ago, and that's why my name is what it is today.
No graphics, no gizmos, no props, no harm, just a simple concept to play with your mind and emotions. OLD IS GOLD
Old is stupid. Old people act so wise but they are embarrassingly dumb as a stick.

Watch Just for Luaghs
I like the fact that these people responded so reasonably to a completely unreasonable request. Not everyone would be as nice.
that blinking when she is upset, is funny as heck.
Joan Kerry is a treasure! Her reaction to being on camera was perfect! 😂
3:22 I love hearing the priorities of why they won’t change their name- “ do you know what this means for my family?”🥰
It is just a name.
No it is not,it is Me
Yeah that was actually quite touching 🙏🏻
The guy at 3:55 seemed like a guy who was gonna talk to someone who would make someone an offer they can't refuse. Badda bing! 😅
Ahah true. And with that Italian accent of his 😂
I went my whole childhood watching this program and waiting for my opportunity to be on candid camera. Soon , I learned life is a series of real life pranks
When First Lady had her eyes blinking she was ready to lose her mind! Lol
The reveal to the first woman was hilarious. She was going to look into that camera and give it a piece of her mind, but switched her attitude brilliantly when she heard "Candid Camera".😂😂😂
Love her! 😂😂😂
Being screwed with by the government is scarier than funny.
If you look at the "most replayed" graph it's her reveal 😄
*Dick played the part as a census official w/ perfection. He’s VERY convincing!* ❤️
I don't understand why you would need to meet a census official in the first place. I'm my country census officials go door to door counting people
Dick was one of my favorites. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago.😢
Classic stuff, when people were a lot simpler and just enjoyed things in a simple way, great years, unlike nowadays.
It would have been great if they assigned them a new, outlandish name! From now on you’ll be known as Joan Dinglehopper.
If you don't like Dinglehopper, then you'll have to be Hopperdingle. That's the best the government can do.
What a fun wholesome show, which unfortunately likely couldn’t be made today due to the fear of hurting someone’s feelings. Boy has our society fallen
Shows like this are made all over the world. The reason why it couldn't be made in America today is because of the fear of hurting some MAGA moron's feeling and getting shot.
that isn't at all true
Agreed
The guy would probably get beaten up or spit on or at the very least, cussed out.
That blink rate hit a new gear 😂
Noticed!
Yep!! lol
When were people this nice. I want a time machine and would like to go back in time and live then.
They were even nicer, better-natured, and better-humored in the old black-and-white Candid Cameras
Her blink-rate went stratospheric.She was great.
So much better when they show the reveals.
That first lady started blinking so fast when confronted I could feel the breeze from my house.
This was funny. One of the only CC segments I have never seen before.
I dont watch these clips but this was a clever idea. Seems so silly it could catch people out.
I’m impressed with the capacity for critical thought, these people seem to possess, that no longer appears to exist, 20+ years later. These people seem to have a basic grasp of their individual rights.
That’s true. We live in Clown World now.
@@marleypumpkin4917 "Clown World." Perfect!
I’m afraid your point is reduced to dust by two simple words; Milgram Experiment
In a Scandinavia one they had to change the surnames because almost the whole population was called Anderson
The reveal is the best part.
I live in Eastchester NY. The town hall looks exactly the same 20 years later. I never knew Candid Camera visited the east coast.

Is Crestwood in East Chester?
Joan tried to blink her problems away. lolol
Oh my, these people are so smart. So proud of them!
They're lovely people. I'd love to see longer clips with more extended reactions from them.
I like when the gentleman said that the government can’t, we’re the government!
@@kellicecil8280 He was the best 🙂
fun fact: 2:56 he's still alive and well today and is a proud great great grandpa
How do you know this information about him?
It's a joke, apparently or someone who actually knows this guy.
don't listen to anything candidfellow says. dude is a creep
2:20 The way this woman is blinking in a rapid rate is absolutely amazing, she is really bothered and confused by the fact she needs to change her name. What an excellent scene.
The reveals are the BEST!!!
I was wondering what happened to this show..was my absolute favorite! These are obviously old tapings but glad to see them..!
The first lady has a brilliant personality.
The woman at the beginning was really super smart!
I love how they flicker their eyes back and forth.
“It’s for your convenience” is a very common excuse to mess thing up for you!
One of the very good ones
The reveal is the best part!
Its scary to know that so many people fall for this even though its unbelievably ridiculous. A reason why there are so many successful scammers out there.
I learned if people don't know what it's really about, they'll buy EVERYTHING.
A couple of points,
first point, they don't show the people who didn't fall for it, which I suspect would be the majority
second point, They only show those that consent to being on TV, you do have a choice

They first tried this prank in California, but everyone there just complied, so they had to try again in Idaho.
Nailed it.

@@twiznizzlenore7822 Something like the joke the republican party has chosen. It didn't work and still isn't going to work
Good one !!
Lady in green was so reasonable lol
Reveals are mandatory Peter!..🤣🤣
As a guy with a common first/last name, I'd be completely fine with this.
"Smile you're on Candid Camera!" I remember when the Host was Allen Funt, and it's always been Hilarious.
I need to get some business cards made saying I work for Candid Camera. They might get me out of some awkward social situations.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
I miss watching this show as a kid, wish they would do it again on the same show plan.
Hook Line and Sinker 😂😂🤣🤣😅😅😆😆 just brilliant
Back when this was filmed in the year 2000 the federal government asking someone to change their name seemed unbelievable but now in 2023 seems quite plausible.
I think that last lady was gonna say, “You’re a Dick alright!!”
I'm surprised they didn't say, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
My wife was more than happy to change her name.
She started out smiley and sweet until she's pushed then she stands up for herself. Respect!
One of those men looked exactly like Ernest Hemingway
This is very interesting actually. The relationship we have with our names is weird. We didn't pick it and lots of times we don't particularly like it but we're attached to it even though we can change it if we want.
The first lady was about to go full Kathy Bates Misery character on the guy! You dirty bird. 😂
This needs to be redone and tell them the government is changing thier gender.
Adorable. I laughed out loud
Thanks for the laughs. With some of the crazy things the government is doing these days, it would not surprise many.
Really, it sounds like brandon & co.
A name change and a sex change are about to be compulsory
I'm very happy with my name... would you be very happy to be on television... Yes I would to tell my story... Well look over there you're on Candid Camera😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
What nice people
I need to hear more info. Lol, too funny. What an idea.
Her blinking tho lol

Imagine all the Alderank's watching this and being proud of how rare they are.
I would have loved to have seen this performed in either the deep south or in Detroit. Nonetheless, great skit!

No one can have innocent fun anymore
Try this in 2024! 😂
This will be prophetic
We’re going to change your last name for your convenience
This is actually quite disturbing to watch because
in today's dystopian world, I can see it happening for real!
Vote Trump 2024 make America black free
it could happen any day now! Hello ma'am your name is offensive and we've decided to change your name.

@@AnnabelleJARankin sounds right!
Even with my limited intelligence, I know that name changes need to be completed via the Probate/Family Courts. ❤
Don't worry, the census bureau will take care of all that.🤣🤣
Its crazy to know almost all these people in this video are dead.
LMFAO this is from the year 2000, they're not all dead hahahaah
@@virg0_lem0nade for the most part, with all due respect.

Thanks for the laughs, I needed them (especially today after listening to all the bad news coming from Israel)!

People were so friendly back then 😞
Great to see so many people questioning the government's authority to enact arbitrary changes. Where were these people during COVID????
I would have been hauled away kicking and screaming
there is a sale today on Olderings lol
Awesome thanks 😂😂😂😂😂
4:25, That's awesome! lool!
I’m with the 2nd woman. Just give me the information and I’ll read it but I’m not changing my name. Another great episode.
Wow, Did you notice the legs on that show's co-host?
🎶It’s fun to laugh at yourself
It’s a tonic tried and true
It’s fun to laugh at yourself
And other people too🎶
My maiden name is so unique. There are only 5 now. People actually changed their last names years ago. People who followed ancestors found this
Funny show!!!
