“Smile! You’re on Candid Camera!”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Funt

On February 3, 1969, Funt, his wife, and his two youngest children boarded Eastern Airlines Flight 7 in Newark, New Jersey with a destination of Miami, Florida. While en route, two men hijacked the plane and demanded passage to Cuba. However, some of the passengers, having spotted Funt, believed the whole thing to be a Candid Camera stunt.[7] Funt repeatedly attempted to persuade his fellow passengers as to the reality of the hijacking, but to no avail. The plane later landed in Cuba, finally convincing the passengers.[4]

LOL.

Reminds me of the thing Groucho Marx hated most is that when he was truly angry about anything, people around him laughed! They thought he was trying to be funny when he wasn’t. Of all the curses in life to go through.
