"You Must Be Joking!" is a 1986 South African film. It is Leon Schuster's first hidden camera movie and was an instant success in cinemas all over South Africa.

Tagline: "The "skelm" camera at its' funniest!" ("Skelm" meaning hidden/candid/crook)"

Plot

In a series of short skits, Leon Schuster uses candid camera and several disguises to stitch up the general public of South Africa. Such sketches include:
*The watermelon pulse test, where Leon shows that a watermelon is only ripe when it does not have a heartbeat, much to the confusion of the seller.
*Cooking on the bonnet of a car, while upsetting the traffic police.
*Supposedly killing a cow in a butcher's shop.
