Wow these videos are awesome. Man do they bring back memories. I'm 65, some of mine fondness childhood memories are watching this show with Dad,and Mom, and my brothers and sisters. I can still hear my Mom, and Dad, laughing. Thanks so much for the memories.
Billiards is very popular here in the Philippines even with young kids using marbles on a homemade table. It would be fun to try some of these pranks on them.
I wonder what year was this filmed? Early 60's, I would guess. Black and white TV was still the norm. But, I still noticed that practically noone had any tattoos or blue hair back then!😄
If you look under the title of the video where it shows how many views the video has and where it says more it will show you the year and your guess is correct, this was 1960's (1964).
The only reason I'm responding to this is to find out your mentality what exactly do you mean because there have always been people that are down and out if that's what you mean by bums but usually you don't see bums playing pool . As a rule.
There were great lengths that were gone through to put those gags together. Wasn't just: go to the store, buy billiard balls and done. And then drilling holes in them! I thought you Funt boys were going to grow up doing special effects.🎥 Production is fun too. Just saying, imagine the gags he would do with todays tech?
Back then people smoked everywhere but church - restaurants, airplanes, on most tv shows and even in hospital patient rooms and waiting rooms. Cigarette manufacturers were the biggest advertisers on television and even kids could go into stores and buy cigarettes. Cigarette vending machines were everywhere you went. Hard to believe but all true - I was there.
Interesting to see how neatly dressed everyone was back in the day.
Not a flip-flop or ugly man-foot to be found... Interesting concept... long pants and shoes... ;-P
Just making the triangle one inch smaller was simple, but very effective!

Voices never dissapear,only humans.

Good old classic Candid Camera. They knew how to prank people and Allen Funt’s commentary is perfect.
Funny funny stuff. 👍
What a great gag..lol.
Things like this make us question our sanity!
Such good looking people. The good old days
Lol!! That was too funny! I needed a good laugh before getting ready for work today. 😀😀😀
Don’t know why they don’t always show the part when they are told they are on Candid Camera, many times that is the FUNNIEST PART!😅
This is when America was really great!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it! What a great prank!
