I didn't see your comment at first. I said she was trying to blink herself into another dimension. People can do some strange stuff when they get upset, happy, or whenever emotions come into play. I gave a boss a look once that said he was nothing but pesky shit under my foot and he got the message. I didn't even say a word and he fired my ass. When I sent the facial expression his way I knew I fired myself. Facial expressions are powerful.
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 UA-cam 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
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".😂😂😂
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
I have seen such a 180 degree change in society, a little bit here, and a little there. There was a noticeable change after The Bible/Prayer was taken out of schools, same with Kennedy being assassinated and Vietnam escalating. The 1960s started out decent, yet changed a huge amount in less than a decade. Took a while to get to the mess we are in now. Still, one lifetime! I would like to set a time machine for about 1962 or prior. Just my personal choice!
🎥 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!!! 🎯
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.
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.
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.
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.
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😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
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
2:05 Missed opportunity! He should've replied, "oh no, you certainly won't be a Smith, we already have faf to many! We were thinking something more along the line of Aalderink. 😂
@@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.
I scrolled down and I haven't seen anyone else comment on this, at 3:15, that guy is the older version of Casper, A.K.A (Whitey) from Me, Myself, and Irene. Old Jim Carrey movie
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
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. 😂😂😂
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 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.
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. 😂
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
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.
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 🙏🏻
*He's just being an unreasonable 'terrorist'*
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.
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 UA-cam as opposed to actual tv shows

Watch Just for Luaghs
*It's only a few decades since it was first done (with the use of a camera). Old is at the very least, a century*
I like the fact that these people responded so reasonably to a completely unreasonable request. Not everyone would be as nice.
*It's also edited for television, you know*
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 😂
We didn’t see his reaction. I bet you he wasn’t nice
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 😄
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
Smile. You have 17 'likes' (and rising) on Candid Camera..
Her blink-rate went stratospheric.She was great.
I love how all these people stood up for themselves.
The reveals are the BEST!!!
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

Joan tried to blink her problems away. lolol
One of the very good ones
So much better when they show the reveals.
Oh my, these people are so smart. So proud of them!
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.
UA-cam did this to me a year ago, and that's why my name is what it is today.
Ok
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.
Candid Camera was born on the East Coast - in New York City - and we've done hundreds of sequences in the Northeast. -Peter

🎥 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!!! 🎯
@@amyt2400 Thanks so much for the kind words. (My Dad's older clips are on our sister channel, Candid Camera Gold.) -Peter
Is Crestwood in East Chester?
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.
No one is forced to submit to this kind of thinking.
The reveal is the best part.
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
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 🙂
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.
I was wondering what happened to this show..was my absolute favorite! These are obviously old tapings but glad to see them..!
That blink rate hit a new gear 😂
Noticed!
Yep!! lol
The first lady has a brilliant personality.
Reveals are mandatory Peter!..🤣🤣
That first lady started blinking so fast when confronted I could feel the breeze from my house.
Loved all the reactions 😂
The woman at the beginning was really super smart!
Adorable. I laughed out loud
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.
Hook Line and Sinker 😂😂🤣🤣😅😅😆😆 just brilliant

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
That 1st lady: The more he talked the faster her eyes blinked.
Reminds me of my daddy! He died in 1984 but he used to giggle so hard @ this show!😂
The first lady was about to go full Kathy Bates Misery character on the guy! You dirty bird. 😂
Lady in green was so reasonable lol
In a Scandinavia one they had to change the surnames because almost the whole population was called Anderson
"I'm gonna find out who I gotta talk to."
I love how they flicker their eyes back and forth.
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.

She started out smiley and sweet until she's pushed then she stands up for herself. Respect!
What nice people
“It’s for your convenience” is a very common excuse to mess thing up for you!
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 need to hear more info. Lol, too funny. What an idea.
"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.
Perfect!
I love your 'old earth' title. So true.
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

That was awesome.
I miss watching this show as a kid, wish they would do it again on the same show plan.
Her blinking tho lol
I wonder what would be their reactions if they were told that the government will be providing their new names if they didn't choose one
They first tried this prank in California, but everyone there just complied, so they had to try again in Idaho.
Nailed it.

4:06 Definitely don't wanna cross this mobster 😂
As a guy with a common first/last name, I'd be completely fine with this.
That was hilarious 😂
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
I'm surprised they didn't say, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
One of those men looked exactly like Ernest Hemingway
there is a sale today on Olderings lol
My wife was more than happy to change her name.
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.
Classic stuff, when people were a lot simpler and just enjoyed things in a simple way, great years, unlike nowadays.
Man the First Lady was a blinker
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
