Is "Candid Camera" still funny?

I'm flipping channels and I see that they've re-done this show, with Mayim Byalik (who I like and is cute) but I just don't feel it's funny. In this day and age their are way funnier shows, imo, Tosh .0 just as an example. Those skits of the yogurt machine not stopping just don't seem funny at all. Hmmm....

Dick Clark's & Ed McManon's TV Bloopers and Practical Jokes were way better than Candid Camera. Even the knock-off MTV's Punk'd was better than Candid Camera.

I watched it and it's hit and miss for me. I find when they show classic clips I tend to laugh more. Some of the pranks have to do alot with smart phones, such as taking selfies or weird text messages (all I found very boring). I do like Impratical Jokers alot.

It's a nice premise I just don't find it funny. Oh well, we'll see...

Well the older ones were hilarious. Alan Funt was very good at pulling gags. His grandson Danny Funt is carrying the torch. Right now he's still very green at it so who knows, give him time. Like I said pranks with smart phones are not funny. Alot of times they do a prank on 5 people but only show one of them that it's just candid camera (sometimes their reaction to that IS the best part)

Haven't seen this new version, but I have to say the similar Just for Laughs Gags, out of Montreal, is hilarious!
