The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

In each episode of this show, people are pranked in public places by hidden cameras. The gags are set up to get funny reactions without the subjects knowing they are being filmed. Most of the segments have no talking and rely on music and sound effects for humor.

What happens

Just for Laughs Gags (French: Les Gags) is a Canadian silent comedy and hidden camera reality television series created by Pierre Girard and Jacques Chevalier. It is part of the Just for Laughs brand. The series uses a hidden camera format, playing pranks on unsuspecting subjects while hidden cameras capture the subjects' responses; each episode presents multiple gags. While some segments have included brief dialogue, most do not contain any sound or dialogue, depending on natural audio in the setting, along with additional sound effects and music.
