Do you like watching Candid Camera & the like?

I really don't lol I tend to feel for those people & even if they are joking & all in good fun, I can't help but feel bad for them. I think it's because I don't like surprises myself 🙂

Are you talking about the American hidden camera reality television series? If that's it, then I would admit liking all the practical jokes it comes with. It's fun to watch.

Yeah, I'm talking about those. I personally don't like it lol Being a bit of an empath, I tend to "feel" the reactions stronger 🙂

Have any of you been in a Practical Joke situation? How did it turn out?

Mehn, I don't do well with pranks. They leave me so embarrassed. 

I've had an embarrassing moment I wouldn't forget so easily. I'm hyper sensitive especially when my ribs are tickled. 

I was in public in college with my friends and another friend of mine (a girl) came from my back and tickled my ribs, immediately I farted out so loud. I was completely embarrassed. My guys never stopped laughing at me that day.

I used to love that America's Home Videos show, but now things have gone too far IMO.  I don't really enjoy pranks and staged events and that seems like what most things are now.  Even if one person is simply setting up the other, I don't really find that kind of content enjoyable.

I'm the same way! I feel for the other person. I wouldn't want it done to me. Even if it is considered "funny". 

Thank you for sharing your story with us! I can see how it would be embarrassing. 🙂

When America's Funniest Home Videos first came out, I remember my mom & I laughing so hard! Then it got to be the same ol'. A guy getting hurt on his, well, you know! Or posting where animals are being scared to death. I definitely don't find those amusing at all!

We don't tend to have these air in the UK, we have ones where funny things are caught on video and they person in the video gives permission for them to use it on their show but anything with hidden cameras we do not have that I know of. 

I have seen the ones from the US TV shows though and I do feel sorry for some of them. Some go way too far and it can be cruel a lot of the time.
