Hate to say this but ive noticed a few of these old ones have character actors in them as the so called innocent person. The guy in the first sketch is jerry from i love lucy
That's absolutely not true. I wish you wouldn't post such things. Enjoy our show, but be assured that actors were never used to pretend to be fooled. -Peter
Those were the days... my Mom would have followed along with the rest of them too. Fortunately I was taught how to reason things out and come to my own decisions by my Dad. This is the exact reason why I had to completely make all of my Mom's decisions after my Dad died... 10 years of being a Mother to my Mom. Good thing my kids were already adults and making their own decisions. In those days most women let their husbands do the thinking and so were completely unprepared if they were left without them.
15 Oct 2024 In traditional Chinese culture, built over 5,000 years of civilisational evolution and time-honoured customary practice, it's called "filial piety", one of the highest moral virtues that should/can/must be inculcated in the younger generations. Especially when the elders grow frail, and Heaven forbid, mentally senile. Burden? Sure, but unstinting love for one's parents (excluding those who abandoned their parental duties or committed heinous crimes against society and even their own flesh and blood) is one of the staunchest pillars of Confucian philosophical teachings. That's all in theory of course. Today's contemporary young, even in Mainland China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) are no longer so tied to such cultural dictates. A bloody disgrace in my book. But of course there are specific and justified circumstances when sending one's aged and infirm (grand)parents to a nursing home etc is a practical and sensible option. No quarrel with that. It is the underlying attitude of ingratitude and cold-hearted monetary considerations and the insistence that one has the right to live one's life free from such cares and concerns that grate on me. Why, just last week in The Straits Times (Singapore's major daily news broadsheet) it was reported that a High Court judge, in settling a domestic dispute case between an aged divorced couple, took pains to censure their two grown-up (unmarried) highly-educated children for not being filial in helping out their financially-strained parents. Makes for ugly reading. My own late mother, with but a primary four Chinese education was certainly the typical housewife dependent on and subservient to her primary six-educated husband, my late father. After his marital infidelity, she became all the more stronger, despite the terrible betrayal, hurts and tears. My biggest regret? Not being as filial a son like I should/ could have been. How to turn back the clock? Gracias.
@@michaelgeraldhong5894 Interesting background information. It was similar with the culture of my European background. Adult kids with their spouse and family moved in with one of their parents. The house usually had another wing or floor added so the grandparents moved upstairs and the young family got the main part of the house. The young parents then had babysitting and the older folks had a lot of the harder work done for them as they aged. It has probably changed a lot in the last years and a lot of those old traditions have gone. Being an only child, I was given the best education and advantages. My parents worked together like a well-oiled machine though. Mom looked after the home and us and Dad provided for us and did all the heavy thinking. Their tasks sometimes blended together where they both worked on some jobs at home, but generally they split the tasks. Dad thought he was making life easier for Mom by making the difficult decisions, although they talked about most of them. I think a lot of families of that generation did that and often the husband was a bit older and died first, leaving the widow to fend for herself. Generally well taken care of financially, but not used to making a lot of decisions. This is why we sometimes see the ladies following what the crowd does, as in these lineup situations. They were just not used to reasoning things out all the time.
I am of the Baby Boomers, the first generation after the end of WWII. My parents were married in 1946 and by many standards, my Mother was a typical housewife with 3 kids and a working husband. Many years later, after my Father passed and my Mother remarried, I was in my late teens. By the time I had reached my 20's, I saw a lot of practices of my Mother that seemed almost prehistoric by the 70's. In particular, one evening I asked her if she had any opinion about election day for the President of the U.S. She said, "No, not yet. Joe [my stepfather] and I haven't sat down with our practice ballots yet." My Father had taught her money management, she maintained everything in the household, all the important decisions...my Father wanted it that way. But when she remarried, she became dependent on a man again.
28 Dec 2024 Eileen Frank, Thanks for your brief but insightful reflection on your family's circumstances/parental situation. Across the innumerable and vastly different human cultures shaped over the millennia, some universal strands have clearly stood the test of time amid ceaseless evolutionary changes of the day. Can't comment too much on your specific household history. Neither would it be appropriate for me to do so. Human nature remains a fascinating subject of study for psychologists, sociologists and cultural anthropologists I say. We baby boomers had it good and also hard, that's indisputable. I'm glad for how my life's turned out generally although of course if I could travel back in time to rectify some things.....Gracias.
Candid Camera was a highly amusing program in the late 50's- early 60's here in America. These old black and white television tapes of the time reflect the post WWII period of the American people in average circumstances. Nothing like today.
My husband who was born in NYC in the 1940's. We would go for a drive and if he got lost, he refused to stop and ask someone for directions:/:) But I am a southern girl and I would ask people anything I wanted to know. So maybe it's where you are born that makes people so shy to ask?? We people are quite peculiar ❤ I used to watch this show in the 60's. It's really great to see it again.
FASCINATING
I like the skit from the 70's where they taste test peanut butter and the one lady says it taste like kitty litter 😂
I like this , almost a physiological test
Candid Comedy from Conformity! ☆☆
Loved it😂😂😂 the last lady 😂😂😂
HILARIOUS!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I almost feel bad for the people, but I imagine when it's revealed that it's Candid Camera, they probably feel a little special.
Conform.
That first man looks familiar
I love Lucy

Eileen Frank,
Thanks for your brief but insightful reflection on your family's circumstances/parental situation.

On the flip side males would also often be lost , not knowing how maintain a household and domestic chores
The sheeple herding instinct is strong.
The don't get much dumber than the last woman who followed along with whatever the crowd did...
You don’t know her history don’t be quick to judge .
This one is cute.
😅😅😅
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't understand why the person doesn't just ask the others what and why they are doing such things. In Israel that's what we'd do. Afraid to ask?

Australia would be like you say too. People would talk among themselves.
