It won’t be long before you might find yourself an unwitting victim of Just for Laughs.

MediaCorp TV has entered into an exclusive agreement with Just for Laughs to co-produce and distribute gags for the Asian market. The agreement was signed yesterday between Pierre Girard, the director general of Just Pour Rire Les Gags Inc, and Chang Long Jong, MediaCorp’s deputy CEO.

I personally think that Asians, especially Singaporeans would react with a "Siao ah! I hoot you then you know!" Or a 'Ki siao ah!" Or even chase and literally beat them up rather than have a good laugh at it.

So I'm pretty excited to see what happens. Who knows, one of you guys would fall prey to one of their gags!
