Just For Laughs: Gags = Best Comedy Show EVER, PERIOD

[Taohn]

It's an absolutely brilliant show. They did a fun variation on your #8, where a young, attractive blond woman "accidently" drops a thong out of her shopping bag as she passes a pedestrian. The pedestrian is obviously hesitant, but, seeing the woman round the corner of a building, picks up the thong and hurries after her. The woman, however, hides herself in a carboard box just around the corner, where a man who is dressed exactly like her (tight pants, tight shirt, everything) waits. The pedestrian rounds the corner to find the "girl" facing a wall, rummaging in her bag as if she's lost something. When approached, the girl suddenly turns around, revealing her true identity as a moustached, very manly man.

Another good one went like this: a young girl approches a stranger in a video store with the name of a video on a card, and asks the stranger to enter into the XXX section to retrieve it. Surprisigly, most oblige the young girl. When they exit the section (which is set off from the rest of the stor by a longish hall), everyone in the immediate vicinity (all troupe members) begin to applaude, whistle, and make catcalls (the young girl is, of course, long gone).

My two all time favorites, though:

1) An old lady with a suitcase runs by a couple of pedestrians. Shortly after she passes them, the suticase unlatches itself dumping out its contents onto the ground in front of the pedestrians. They are left staring at a huge magnum and several fat wads of cash, as the old lady runs off undeterred. The way people get all distressed is priceless.

2) Outside a convenience store, where the is a cold locker stocked with bags of ice. Having paid, customers exit the store and open the locker where they a greeted with a girl's frozen corpse, staring lifelessly at the from the depths of the locker. Suddenly, the girl shakes violently and makes as if to grab the customer. Again, priceless reactions.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 5:30 on CBC.

Edit
Forgot the best one. Outside a shop there is a platform over the sidewalk (similar to the ones set up at construction sites to protect pedestrians), atop of which are two construction workers pretending to repair the storefront. As the pedestrains exit from under the platform, one of the workers squirts them with a small water pistol. They turn around, puzzled, only to see the worker straddling the platform, slowly doing up his fly with a look of utter contentment on his face. Some pedestrians curl their upper lips in disgust as the fact of the matter slowly dawns on them, wrinkle their noses and sniff themselves as if sampling perfume.
