The Prank Panel

How much did Johnny Knoxville and Eric Andre get paid to be on this? Huge fan of both guys but damn... they were just put on here for the name value. I really wanted to like it but it's just so cheesy and cliche. They had a decent budget for the pranks but I just feel like this show is super restricted by production for Johnny and Eric to really be themselves. Wondering if Johnny and Eric actually have any say in what the pranks end up being because they don't really seem to be their style. They are only there to pick which pranks are gonna be done (are they really the ones picking though?) and behind the scenes on the pranks. It's basically mtv punkd (which hasn't aged well) 20 years later but worse.

I'm not a fan of the Shark-Tank-like prank pitch setup. It feels like a painful American idol where they just make people feel bad for lame ideas. Then the setup watching the pranks in front of a live audience feels off. Without Jonny Knoxville or Eric Andre this show would be a pass for me. It doesn't seem to be either of their styles. Or at least a very watered down version.

I liked the little bit of pranks slipped in on the people pitching a joke before they pitch. It feels more organic and not so structured. It's not a 1 star terrible. . . Might be moderately entertaining for some, so 4/10.

This show could be really funny and good but, gabby just sucks all the fun and good spirit out of all the situations. She is clearly a self conscious miserable person and it shows with how she interacts with not just the guest but her coworkers. I want to watch the rest of the season but just can't stomach her. Please get rid of her, I don't understand why or how she is related to anything comedy. She clearly isn't in the league with Knoxville and Eric. I could watch those two mess with each other all day but she just is an angry rude mess and basically ruins everything when she talks. I've stopped watching the show but hope they replace her or get rid of her altogether . From a lot of other reviews it seems I'm no the only one who thinks so.

Just because someone won an Oscar and I mean you could substitute my comment for Daniel Day-Lewis I'm not knocking her weight or anything else but she literally has absolutely no comedy chops and has nothing to do with the prank world. I mean Ashton Kutcher do you mean anything you can see is raking in the dough but sure he has some free time on his hands and will be a much more logical choice. I love these shows but please stop forcing people into roles that literally make zero sense.

And today I'm here a good prank show has been in style for over 50 years now so no surprises if we'll executed it it will be funny and the show is no less I don't think we need the selection format process it just takes away from it. Punk'd was great because it just got down to it. Watch Stoned send you'll enjoy.

The way you guys come out at the end of the prank is a real buzzkill. You just walk out and tell the victim. That's boring. Any other idea would be better. Even if Johnny walked out and got involved in the prank would work. If the victim knows him, he will know it's a prank. If they don't know him you could just keep adding people until the person they know shows up. We need a climax. We need a great look at the realization the victim has when he understands that he has been pranked. Just the fact that the victim has to be told that it's a prank really takes away from the fun. Let them realize it themselves.
