The classic hidden camera show that started a genre of having fun with the unintentional comedy of real people has had multiple iterations. And if you want to check them out you can do so on Tubi TV. The free service has a couple a hundred episodes of the show hosted by Allan Funt and later his son Peter.
The show sets up scenarios where regular people are put into odd situations to see how they would react from bad service to weird public policy changes. The 1990s era revival put forward new technelogical marvels such as a new car that gave you audible warnings “In Japanese”.
There have been multiple riffs on the Candid Camera formula since with the format proving very popular overseas. Viewers who enjoy viral videos of pranks and more online would probably really appreciate the original masters of TV hijnks.
