LOL!

You beat me to it! It was hard for me to laugh at it. I felt more empathy than anything.

Ikr.

Busted six of my seven bellies laughing 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 greetings from Killyglen, County Antrim 🍻

Hahaha. That's certainly how I've felt at the time.

You don't know how much anxiety that would cause me.

As the ole carpenter said, I cut it off twice, And it's still to short! Lol!

But wouldn't you notice a 4-5" difference of the shelf by looking at it? I was a great gag though.

One of my favorites is, during lunch break, nailing my co-workers bags to the floor, and hiding their hammer and cats paw!

The first way you can tell that he isn't a carpenter is that he cuts the wood between the two saw horses, not off to one side, causing a pinch on the blade as the wood bows. Plus if that happened to me more than the first time I would have been having a good look at that cabinet to see how rigid it was, and noticing that one side slides into a fake wall and it's not free standing!

They wouldn’t be able to air it if it was me….I’d be cussing up a storm

Lol

I agree, this guy has the patience of a saint 😂

I know!! That's the main reason why I'm obsessed with these videos

Agree. According to science, the human brain has not changed in at least 37,000 years, so even more amazing how our behavior can change in 60 years.

"Greatest Generation" traits: They are patriotic They are driven and motivated They show a strong work ethic They live modestly They are frugal consumers and prudent savers They are committed and loyal

Actually, the carpenter got punk'd.

@@kevindunlap5525 No, The "punked" shows were vicious, mean and nasty with their schemes. Candid Camera was always just for fun and no one got offended. there is a big difference.

Lol! Yeah, I seen it the first time around. I used to love to watch this show! Do you remember when they took a VW car and made the body and chassis a gas tank? They pulled that thing into a gas station and the driver said, fill er up. The man started to pump the gas and it was okay until he got up to 15 gallon and it kept going and I don't know how many more but it probably went to 30 to 40 gallon and as he was pumping it he'd look around on the ground and the other side to see if it was running out he even held the nozzle out away when they feel spout and he could see gas was coming out in it it was hilarious cuz I think the thing may have held a hundred gallons! But these are clean fun shows to watch! Take care!

Yes, I fondly remember this very one seeing it as a kid! I remember the "giant fuel tank" prank too! Another great car prank was removing the engine of a car and having a lady coast it down the hill into a gas station, stopping next to the pumps - ding ding! The attendant came outside, the lady asked for a fill up and to have the oil checked! 🤯

@@leeroth5604 they had some great funny pranks, Something we hardly get these days....

Yeah, me too. Classic. Alan Funt was a genius.

I still don't understand how it was done.

@@rachelgarcia4301 The boards that represent the top and bottom shelves do not stop at the wall on the left. The wall has a slit at the top and one at the bottom in which the shelves fit through in such a way that this is not detectable. It's through these slits that the shelves are undetectably moved to vary the lengths of the boards.

@@mikethespike7579 Gee thanks!

Start taking turmeric every day see what happens to your body bright side

Me too, in norway it was aired early 1970s i think. but its my favorite too, 😁 my other favorite, a norwegian spinoff i guess. was a wooden package that got deliverd to a shop, and the door opening was ADJUSTABLE. Fun started when the delivery men discoverd they was at the wrong adress and tryed to carry the box out to the car again. 🤣

3 boards and people today would sneak out the dock door at lunch.

quality steel saw, still good i expect, not like most cheap ones today buckle and twist and snap sooner or later

@@tonymartinis2956 probably bend it in a 180 and not break it, like you said good steel. Spring steel actually

Can you imagine that happening to you, I’d lose it.

@@deborahchesser7375 Don't know if I'd lose it. But I'd definitely go batshit crazy. Because I used to build shelves. lol

with blue hair

@@tonymartinis2956 😂😂

​@@tonymartinis2956 And would have been shouting the F word over and over!!!

Other diner pranks: bowl of spoon was glued to the stem with water-soluble glue; victim gets coffee with trick spoon, adds sugar, stirs coffee with spoon and viola! the bowl of the spoon is GONE! Strong coffee served there!! EDIT: That one is posted on this channel... look for one called 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗻. Another time, patron is served meal; just as they began to eat the waitress returns and takes half of their peas and apologizes saying "Another customer also just ordered peas, and we are out of them now, so you have to share."

Family friendly for white, heterosexuals.

The "living" room is now dead sadly.

That guy was a very stable genius

I wonder if in his day there were also people to lazy to capitalize "I".

It’s easier to cut the longer piece

Steve i was in the navy and this petty officer who was a real dick injured his foot and had to use a wooden cane for awhile, we took off about an inch a day, after about a week and half a foot later he caught on.

Nasty people

Well, thank you pal. It's called functional fixation, which means that he was very focused on a crucial aspect of his work, that is, getting the board to be of the right length. And he succeeded. By the way, I think it was an Italian guy who showed our beloved friends in the USA how to design, build, and work, the first atomic pile in Chicago. That was a while ago, though, I think it happened in 1938. Love from Italy, and a very Happy New Year to you.

@@CB-ck9dg Enrico Fermi. A few of us USA educated people know of his great contributions; I learned about him in 5th grade (that was about 1965 for me). Many kids today aren't receiving a good education; indoctrination is now more important I guess.

@@leeroth5604 Yup, and with all due respect for a Country that was able to send no less than 24 people all the way to and around the Moon (including six moon landings ), and one of its Navy Officers all the way down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench for the first time. And, more importantly, bring ALL of them back alive and well. I doubt Enrico Fermi would have been able to accomplish such a feat had he remained in Italy, notwithstanding his quite remarkable abilities.

I’m Italian and I still didn’t figure out what was happening.

The cultures are different, no doubt about that. But to be clear: The American version is the "original." The UK version of Candid Camera was produced with our permission and reshot many of the sequences we had created in the U.S. -Peter

@@peterfunt8622 Just put the word original in to catch a fish. It worked.

@@1977ajax Ha! You got me! -Peter

@@peterfunt8622 Any relation to Alan? :)

@@moimeme6533 Peter Funt is Alan's son (assuming the poster here is actually him), he co-hosted the show with him for a while and then took over sole hosting when his father fell ill. As for the stunt in this video, I find it hard to believe the guy was not in on it. He made way to many shelves without investigating the case itself. Perhaps people were just more gullible back then? I doubt it.

Fortunately for him it is a nice sharp saw.

Gosh, I know some viewers are determined to "catch" us in some way. When our camera operator hears the reveal begin, he sticks his arm out so the subject WILL look right at the camera. That's what we want. -Peter
