Just for Laughs Gags (French: Juste pour rire les gags) is a Canadian silent comedy/hidden camera reality television series that is under the Just for Laughs brand[1] created by Pierre Girard and Jacques Chevalier.[2]
The series uses a hidden camera format, playing pranks on unsuspecting subjects while hidden cameras capture the subjects' responses; each episode presents multiple gags. While some segments have included brief dialogue, most do not contain any sound or dialogue. The audio is replaced with sound effects, a laugh track, and music.
^Just for Laughs Gags Archived 23 September 2015 at the Wayback Machine "This crazy but amazing team of Quebec-based comedian troupe uses the city as its stage, and its inhabitants, or victims, as characters! People are caught in a twisted yet funny web of comedic deception. This updated Candid Camera is a tad more risque and a little kookier with its practical jokes. The little snippets last only a few minutes, and some look more painful than others."
