"I never flush the toilet."
Aide-mémoire
Candid Camera was the best
I so agree, CJ. When the one woman said that she never flushes her toilet, I literally laughed out loud. 😂
Peter is hilarious and quick with your one liners!
4:10 "Tell me when it's gonna be on TV." In 23 years we will broadcast it on TH-cam. What-tube?
But she doesn't watch TV!
1:18 "black outs and brown outs"🤣🤣🤣
That first reveal was awesome. That's man's face instantly went from a scowl to the biggest smile. 😅
Many people love to be charged up by their sense of humor that made this clip possible..........
- It doesn't go to the States, it's coming straight into our pockets 😂
- Why should I put it in your pocket? 😂😂😂
Hold on Commiefornia! CC predicted the future back then. You MUST have an electric vehicle..but dont dare charge it!😂😂😂😂
Major boomer alert with this stupid comment.
In retrospect it's not farfetched
Always funny stuff! I lived in California for 3 years and can believe this tax could happen. Had to move my company out of California with too many costly regulations that didn't make sense. One just has to pass the costs on to the customer which is often the government....the people.
The black outs , and the brown outs …….. lol
That was a good one! You guys make me laugh my head off 🤣 Thank you for all you do, this world needs more mirth and hilarity.
I grew up in Pacific Grove where they did this skit. Long before that was a lighting store that commercial space is where GroveMont was. In the 1970s I used to buy my shoes and sandals at GroveMont.
You're right! Thanks for posting. -Peter
@@peterfunt8622 BTW, since it seems you know that that commercial space was the GroveMont decades ago, you've jogged my memory regarding the guy who owned the GroveMont. His name was something like Michael Bubay/Bobay. Nice guy but very quirky. He had me come out to his Carmel Valley home once after I had become a plumbing contractor, and his home was a veritable aviary. He had lots of exotic birds in his home, none of them in cages. Use your imagination regarding to what a "mess" his home was. Anyway, in the 1990s my wife and four kids and I lived in Carmel and our kids went to the Carmel River School. I think you know about that school. I expatriated the Monterey Peninsula in 2012 and bought a huge spread of remote forested land up here in Modoc County. Total privacy, complete solitude.
Do Monarch Butterflies still gather in Pacific Grove?
@@joesell2565 No idea, I moved away from the Monterey Peninsula in 2012.
Great reactions lol
Fabulous!
So much fun as usual. LOL
It was Enron and other electricity wholesalers that were gaming the deregulated market that caused the electricity crisis.
I was looking for a comment mentioning Enron.
@@RhaegarTargaryen1st You got it. It wasn't an electricity shortage. There was plenty of capacity. It was corporate greed.
The hack politicians in the state of California were the ones that put a price cap on power, so Enron and others just exported California power to other Western markets that were willing to pay more for it
I’ve been on tv a few times and NEVER watched it!!!!
She was saving water, not electricity, by not flushing her toilet
I only flush mine when it really needs it. When it's yellow it's MELLOW 🙂
you must say "it s a candid camera you dont have to pay electric tax but you have to pay candid tax to pass on television"
Now there are so many “fees” that are charged. There is the Covid-19 fee, service fee, credit card convenience fee, etc..
It’s ridiculous. Related, but not exactly the same. Not how things used to be with just cable, CDs, and the radio. I refuse to pay for any entertainment services other than TH-cam. Mine still says TH-cam Red. Teehee. I’m an OG. Other than that it’s just iCloud because I have 55,000 photos and 10,000 videos. My mother got me Netflix for Christmas. Literally nothing is on Netflix and it’s such a scam now. I very briefly had AppleTV for one show. I buy movies VERY rarely, but really that’s no different than buying DVDs or VHS and around the same price. I’d never rent them. Blockbuster you’d rent some things and bring them back…you didn’t have to pay for it every time, right? $4 to watch a movie once is ludicrous. This is advice, I bought one of my all time favorite shows for $19.99 a season, I don’t at all feel like I was ripped off. If you have an iPhone buy things. You can buy most anything. What’s insane to me is if they…I forget how it works, but some things aren’t available to rent? So Apple directs you to all the places that have it. It’s a rabbit hole. You need Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV, Amazon Prime, it’s just endless. Then there is Spotify and whatever else. I think YT music comes with Premium, but I don’t use it. All my music is organized on here…people end up paying $100 or more. Idfk how people who constantly use YT deal with ads though. This is the only service that seems worth it to me. TV shows, shorts, music, movies, endless things, and they are all free…
The cohost was once married to Clint Eastwood.
You are very welcome.
So Cali!
We had to pay a homeless tax in Oregon.
😂😂😂
Pumping more water does take electricity so yes, not flushing does conserve electricity and water.
unless you have city water & pay a water bill.
Commiefonia has had how long to fix this problem?
Electricity tax is as ridiculous as recycling fee in CA when you buy coke or beer in stores. The money you get when you sell your empty bottles back is never the same.
This is the twilight zone as California passed a bill last year to tax people for electricity according to their income. Your usage doesn’t matter it’s your income bracket.
The lady is still waiting to flush her toilet. She said she don’t watch TV but she wanted to know what channel and when it’s coming on or whatever that was hilarious so I guess she does watch TV. At least she watches the candy camera show and everybody should watch that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Conman is here? 🤑
This will probly be legal in California in a year
I’m sure it will be legal across the country. The gasoline excise tax supposedly pays for building and maintaining roads so with so many electric vehicles on the road now days, they’ll claim that they have to recoup that funding with another tax. Though we pay enough in taxes already for roads and infrastructure. If the government wasn’t so wasteful with our money and send billions in foreign aid to other countries, there would be plenty of funds available. Just like what happened in New York with the ridiculous tax on tobacco. They justified it by claiming it was meant to encourage smokers to quit, but when it actually worked and a lot of smokers kicked the habit, they just increased taxes somewhere else to recoup the lost revenue
Wow! People actually challenged stupid senseless things back then and didn't just go with the flow.
People are so gullabal? 😳
This 21st century version is not Candid Camera classics. The real Candid Camera classics are the Alan Funt version made during the 1950s, 60s and 70s.
give me a billion dollar i will never date that last lady
If it’s brown flush it down, if it’s yellow keep it mellow. There were actually signs in California in the 70s that said that to conserve water.
This one isn’t funny because it’s not a stretch.
Funny thing is in Canada that’s a reality.
