You know, I'm not sure. I imagine it might be out there, but there's not too much call for Candid Camera clips floating around the 'net, much less the "new" Candid Camera that aired in the 90's when I saw it.

I remember catching an episode of The New Candid Camera (late 1990's) and the setup was this: they had taken over an ice cream shop and put a sign on the register apologizing for not being able to give change. Then someone would come in, order two cones, hand them $5 and Allen Funt, Jr. would put the money in the till, shut the drawer and wait. As you can all see where this is going, people wanted their change and he kindly explained that they don't give change. And of course people were getting upset.

All except one guy.

He comes in, pays for his cone, doesn't get his money back and stands there calmly eating his cone. Funt Jr., not seeing any reaction, tries to assuage the guy by explaining that they don't give change. "Cool..." the guys says. Funt Jr. tries again to provoke a reaction. Nothing. So finally he breaks down, admits to the guy that it's Candid Camera, they caught him, yuk yuk yuk, etc. Intrested, Funt Jr. pursues the guy in his questioning, asking why he didn't get upset. And to this day, I'll never forget what the customer's answer was:

"Yeah, I don't let stuff like that rent space in my head." Fucking brilliant. Because that's what stuff like this does. It just rents space in your head. Until the next thing comes along.

Be smarter than the drama. Leave it on the stage where it belongs.

Don't let the amygdala rule your mind. It will make bad decisions for you. What you first feel in reaction to something is not always the right feeling, step out of yourself, and so as to make better decisions.

First rule of candid cameras pranks: Get actors that can act well enough so that the viewers think the reactions are genuine.

this skit sucked

This scene is great for many reasons. They originally filmed the scene with the cameras away from the actors, and shot it like candid camera. Apparently, they hired an actual police officer (in the scene) to double as a bodyguard for the actors.

And this quoted information below comes from:
http://mario.lapam.mo.it/films/st4.htm

William Shatner: "Look closely at the scenes in which Chekov grills random passers-by as to how he might find the nearest 'nuclear wessels,' and you'll notice that he's most often soliciting that advice from real-life, unrehearsed, slightly shocked pedestrians. Their resultant looks of incredulity are quote genuine, as most of them just assumed that Walter was simply out of his mind."

Leonard Nimoy: "Up walked this woman with long, dark hair, whom none of us had ever seen before. She paused to listen to Walter, then said helpfully, 'I think they're across the Bay, in Alameda.' Her reaction was so ingenuous and perfect that we included her in the shot, and wound up negotiating a contract with her, so that we could pay her for talking. It was a wonderful accident, from our perspective as well as hers."
