Ep 12. Eyelash Evidence

Just For Laughs Gags is a hidden camera, comedy television series that captures the reactions of unsuspecting individuals as they encounter hilarious pranks and practical jokes. Season 16, Episode 12, titled Eyelash Evidence, is no exception to this formula, as the show's actors execute uproarious stunts on the streets of Montreal, Canada.

The episode begins with a scene of a man filming himself with a selfie stick as he walks down the sidewalk. Suddenly, an actress playing a pedestrian approaches him from behind and screams, causing the man to jump out of his skin. Confused and annoyed by her outburst, he tries to resume filming, but the pedestrian continues to scream at him with increasing intensity. As the man becomes more flustered, it becomes obvious to the viewers that this is a well-scripted joke.

The next prank takes place in a park, where a woman is sitting on a bench, waiting for her friend. A man approaches her, pretending to look for something in his backpack. While rummaging through his belongings, he pulls out a large walkie-talkie and begins speaking into it as if he's a police officer. He tells the woman that they've found something terrible nearby and that they need her to come with him to help with the investigation. The woman reluctantly follows the man, not realizing that the entire thing is a set-up orchestrated by the show's producers.

Another prank involves a man sitting at a bus stop, minding his own business when a stranger wearing an eyepatch appears to be in search of something. The eyepatch-wearing stranger approaches the man, searching frantically for an eyelash that he's convinced is resting on the man's face. Despite the man's protestations, the stranger relentlessly searches his face for the phantom eyelash, even enlisting the help of a passerby who just happens to be a beautician.

In another scene, an actress playing an undercover police officer stops random pedestrians and shows them a photo of a man who she alleges is a fugitive. After showing the photo, she claims that the man is actually standing behind them, and tries to enlist their help in apprehending him. Unbeknownst to the pedestrians, the man in the photo is actually a member of the show's production crew, who is in on the joke.

The final prank of the episode involves a woman walking down the street, talking on her cell phone when an accomplice of the show's actors runs past her, pretending to be a purse-snatcher. The woman chases the would-be thief down the street, only to be caught up in an elaborate game of keep-away, as numerous actors join in the chase to see who can carry the purse the furthest. The scene is as hilarious as it is absurd, and showcases the show's signature brand of humor perfectly.

Overall, Episode 12 of Just For Laughs Gags is a highly entertaining installment of the series that uses clever and inventive pranks to elicit laughter from both the victims and the viewers at home. The show's commitment to creating realistic scenarios, coupled with the talents of its actors, make for an amusing and engrossing viewing experience that is sure to leave a smile on the face of anyone who watches it.
