@@lynettepalecek3141 Just do a search on the keywords "duck boat sinking" and you'll find several stories, the most recent one in 2020 in which 17 people died.
@@NoJusticeNoPeace A duck boat has nothing in common with the Amphicar other than they are both amphibious. Do you really think that you could fit 17 people in that thing?
@@NoJusticeNoPeace This would be less surprising today, as many major cities have old DUKWs (now called “Duck Tours”) that provide tours of their respective cities. They aren’t the same kind of vehicle as this amphibious car, but the concept is the same.
This was one of their funniest videos. I love the look on that man's face at 45 seconds.🤣🤣 I'm in Australia, and Candid Camera with Allen was so popular. The Australian version of Candid Camera could never match these hilarious stunts!!😃💖
The "Amphicar" was a novelty, but it performed terribly on land and worse in water. Rust was a serious problem, which is why there aren't many left. You also had to re-lubricate everything after taking it in water (which involved removal of the rear seat). You could buy both a better car and a motorboat for about the same cost. They make better ones today but they cost more than my house, and for that price I would want it to fly.
I read that President LBJ had an amphibious car and would take unsuspecting guest out for a drive. The President would drive into water to get a reaction from the guests. He wondered which one of the passengers would try to save him. 😅
The response of the last guy was so funny, _don't give me no stuff_ . Present day people would likely have shot off a pile of expletives. The world has progressed so much since this video was shot, but I can't say that *everything* has been an improvement. However, it didn't appear as though anyone tried to tell her to stop or dive in & help her, half nuts as she was!
Until the reveal, I thought both guys in each scene were being pranked. I had been a little confused while watching it up until that point because it seemed like the same guy was in each scene, but because I didn't go back to check, and because his acting was so on point, (and probably also because I was really hoping there were actually two different guys each time,) I just told myself (convinced myself?) that it wasn't the same guy. So when I saw that he was in fact part of the candid camera crew, I was kind of let down. He did do a great job though! Anyway, what I'm really aiming to express is that it would be really fun to watch if you do this again without inserting any actor besides whoever is in the car. I realized now that you probably wanted to have two people there, which I understand made it funnier to watch the non-actor, so maybe you can do it only when there are at least two people fishing. Also, I had the thought that, if you do decide to use this prank again for more content, I wonder if the reactions would be even better if the driver pretends to start sinking (or at least to not be able to drive farther) at first.
Peter has already explained this... "Two microphones: one in the car with the woman, the other held by our guy with the tan jacket (look how he's holding his left hand toward the people). "
If you pay attention at 1:30, you can see him holding something called a "microphone" in his left hand, there is a black stringy thing coming out of his jacket sleeve to his hand, that's called a "microphone cord".
Was a nice idea, but they had a problem; rust. Yes, you heard correctly. Someone went to all the trouble of designing, building, marketing, and selling, an amphibious car, and they didn't think about the rust problem.
Sounds exactly like something someone at Ford or GM would do- build crap that lasts long enough for the last payment to be made before rusting thru. Ive read of one car that the engine was so poorly situated you couldnt replace the two rear spark plugs without pulling the engine out- they were too close to the firewall or something and you couldnt get them out. I had a Concorde, and some idiot designer thought it was a great idea to install the battery underneath, so you had to remove the right front wheel, open up an access panel, and reach over sharply to the right to get to it stupedist design Ive ever seen!

Doesn’t matter how old these clips are , always fabulous 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was an oldie but goodie. Love it.
FLOOEY!!😂haven’t heard that word in AGES!! I’m bringing it back
It was a popular slang from the 60 and 70s then it died off.
I had the great pleasure of riding in one of these “Amphicars” once! They’re lousy boats and lousy cars, but an absolute blast nonetheless!
And they are notorious for sinking in even slightly bad weather, taking entire loads of tourists with them.
@@NoJusticeNoPeace I never heard about them sinking.

OMG, a clip as old as I am. I think this might have made my week.
As a teenager in the 1960's, I remember these cars with two, small propellers under the rear bumper.
Please bring this show back...Best of the best😅
I have seen an amphibious car drive in the lake in person several years ago in a car show where I live. It's quite a sight!
This was one of their funniest videos. I love the look on that man's face at 45 seconds.🤣🤣 I'm in Australia, and Candid Camera with Allen was so popular. The Australian version of Candid Camera could never match these hilarious stunts!!😃💖
"she went the wrong way" LOL 🤣 you don't say
I’ve never seen that one! Love it! 😂😂😂
forgotten classic
This is one of the best!😆😆😆😆👍👍
I remember those cars and the first time I saw one drive down the boat ramp and keep going my reaction was the same as those people
Very nice gag.
1967? I wasn't even born and here I am watching this..in 2023
The good old days

Good info, I’m a car buff appreciate the comment
I'm sure rust was a big issue, and the brake components being SUBMERGED in water or even salt water, geez!
Only took a tiny pinhole to cause a leak
Love these!

+ aw phooey! And oh, my gosh 😉
Car that can drive on water lol
Yes, here it is...
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphicar
"What's she doing on the river?"
"Looks about 3 knots"
These must be expensive to produce
I like how the guy catches his language near the end.
"Aw don't give me no ss-stuff."
Gold 😅
Why can’t there be any today? What an invention.
The Amphibacar was very cool. I never saw any for sale even in the eighties I'm sure there must have been??🤔
What a beautiful car! Does anyone know the make and model?
Amphicar Model 770
This is crazy old, before the internet and when people still thought that plant life was possible on Mars!
Isn’t it?
@@rickrick5041 no
They're thinking that again.
@@friendlypiranha774 who does
@darkwood777 never
do the same gag next to a cliff, is this the way to.. ? then the car flies over the cliff!
I didn’t know there was such a thing

I'm guessing the men didn't know that it was an amphibious car.
Can get anything by you, Columbo!
i wonder how many people in this are still alive
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂👍
Don't gimme no stuff!
James Bond….spy who loved me ???
😂
Is it possible public been had on this just maybe people were in on this gag? extremely clear audio from their voices considering no mic up close
Borrowing a line from a 1967 movie, she had one of them there amphlibibbous vehicles.
The Dickenson you say! Weeeel doggies!
A woman driver? That is funny!
Staged
It's Candid Camera, dude. EVERYTHING is staged. Duh...
could hear them fellas real well for some reason... RIGGED

If you had a photo, we could see if you look as dumb as you sound.
This one seems awfully staged
@Peter Funt Peter funt! Sorry to offend but how did you get those camera angles and such clear audio!
@Peter Funt ok you convinced me Mr. Funt 👍👍👍
Looks like your means of concealing the recording equipment were so good they're still fooling people to this day, even the audience!

There were a lot of problems with it. It was very unsafe for one -- especially in water.
Sounds exactly like something someone at Ford or GM would do- build crap that lasts long enough for the last payment to be made before rusting thru.
Ive read of one car that the engine was so poorly situated you couldnt replace the two rear spark plugs without pulling the engine out- they were too close to the firewall or something and you couldnt get them out.
