I love watching just for laughs – it really makes me laugh and it makes me proud, since it’s made right here in Montreal. But, unfortunately, it’s fake! If you don’t believe me, let me give you a few proofs:

• I’ve been living in Montreal for over 8 years now, and I have never, ever seen someone sitting on a bench when someone else is sitting on it. Quite a few pranks take place when two people (one of them is the prankster) are sitting on the same bench. Hmmm!

• If you watch Just for Laughs often, then you will notice that there are familiar faces – and I’m not talking about the faces of the pranksters, I’m talking about the faces of the victims. I mean, the possibility of someone being the victim of a “Just for laughs” prank 3 times in his lifetime is one in a trillion, but hey, some people are very, very unlucky.

• The pranksters are known by nearly everyone on this planet, yet the victims act as if they have never seen them in their lives.

• The reactions appear to be fake quite often.

So yes, Just for Laughs is fake, it’s still funny, very funny, but fake! There are no victims, but there are suckers: those thinking that Just for Laughs is real! Now, if you still believe that Just for Laughs is not fake, then you might as well believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.
