''Just for Laughs'': ''Gags'' (in French, ''Juste pour rire'': ''Gags'') is a Canadian silent comedy/hidden camera reality television show that is under the ''Just for Laughs'' brand. It is based on the similar American series ''Candid Camera''.〔(Just for Laughs: Gags ) "This crazy Quebec-based 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."〕 In December 26, 2000, ''JFL'': ''Gags'' began airing on French Canadian network Canal D. In the following years, the show was picked up by TVA, CBC and The Comedy Network in Canada, BBC1 in the UK, TF1 in France and ABC and Telemundo in the United States; the Canadian version (unlike the ones produced for ABC) will air in the United States in first-run syndication starting in the fall of 2015.〔("THE WHOLE WORLD'S LAUGHING WITH PPI. JUST FOR LAUGHS GAGS CLEARS 75% FOR SEPTEMBER 2015" ) from PPI (March 2015)〕 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 public domain music. Most segments are filmed in Quebec City, Montreal and Vancouver, while some have been filmed in Mexico. British and Asian versions have been produced in the UK and Singapore, respectively. In 2011 the show spawned a spinoff, ''Just Kidding'', which consists exclusively of kids playing pranks on adults. With its silent format and no translation required, ''Just for Laughs'': ''Gags'' has been purchased for use in over 100 countries throughout the world as well as in airports and by airlines. Reactions to the gags range from "inane"〔Keyan Tomaselli ''Cultural Tourism and Identity: Rethinking Indigeneity'' 2012 – Page 29 "The inane Just for Laughs candid camera on the drop-down video screen is interspersed with silent movies on the … Mick Francis … responded to this note: “as a Canadian I must apologize for the Just for Laughs show as it a strange Canadian export filmed in the late 1980s and mysteriously shown around the world” (Francis, personal communication, October 2008).."〕 to cross-culturally funny.〔Ray Wiss ''A Line in the Sand: Canadians at War in Kandahar'' 2010 Page 249 "It was an episode of Gags from the Just for Laughs organization in Montreal. For those who have not seen this, it is reminiscent of Candid Camera: the comedians set up an outlandish situation on a city street or in a mall and capture people's reactions. The Afghans got the jokes and laughed as hard as I did."〕 The same distributors also distribute Surprise Sur Prise, a similar show. In March 2011, ''Just for Laughs Gags'' entered into a partnership with Montreal-based, entertainment site, Videobash.com〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.videobash.com/justforlaughs )〕 and now have their own devoted channel there.
