Ever see the show "Just for Laughs"?

Funniest show on TV. Hidden camera show, but the funniest I have ever seen. No spoken words, just the images of what's being filmed.

The set ups are brilliant.

For example, a pretty long haired blonde woman is walking down the street carrying a bag. Some guy walking alone is walking toward her. She turns quickly and drops some sort of Victoria's Secret kind of thing out of her bag. She runs around the corner as if she forgot something.

Of course, the guy picks it up and follows her.

When she runs around the corner, though, there is a similarly built man with a mustache and blonde wig dressed identically with his back to the direction the person being set up is coming from talking on a cell phone. The girl gets in a container being moved by some uniformed guys. So the person turns the corner, taps the similarly dressed man on the shoulder and tries to return the panties.

They do this 10-15 times to different people and the reactions are priceless.

The setups aren't always so complex. Could be as simple as a cop pulling over someone and coming out of the squad car in his underwear (with a partner who gets out later in hosiery). Or something sillier, such as the flower bed dug out in the center with a guy dressed like a zombie who crawls out as if from the grave when people walk by in the park, and then chases them.

Too funny.

Where are they doing this that it is legal to impersonate the police and pull someone over?

It's filmed in Montreal.

Show sounds hilarious!

Still surprised that it is legal there. Here's to the hilarity when the person they're pulling over takes off instead and runs somebody over in the abortive high speed chase.

I saw it was on last night and read the description in the channel guide and couldn't tell if it was real videos of funny things or staged hidden camera stuff. The former can be amusing but I generally find the latter to be lame.

I usually think that way about hidden camera shows, but this is completely different than any I've seen. Very, very clever.

One other simply hysterical one was they put a person who was made up to look as if they were frozen in one of those outdoor ice lockers outside the basic 7-11 or Circle K store. After they'd stare at her a few seconds, she'd shiver and they all freak out.
