The Prank Panel

If you're a fan of prank shows, you'd like this show. As a big fan of Johnny Knoxville and Eric Andre, I was really intrigued with the show. Two episodes in and it's enjoyable, but not amazing. Definitely a show that would be better on a non-cable network as many of the pranks are quite tame, but still funny. Personally, I think Gabourey Sidibe takes away from the quality of the show. Her chemistry with the rest of the crew is really bad, she is also extremely negative throughout the show and to the contestants and doesn't offer much comedic relief, and just seems out of place on the show. Worth a watch of you enjoy prank shows!

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.

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.

The show has some promise, but Gabby has to go. Who the h3ll does she think she is? A contestant on the episode with the electrician delivered a befitting blow to her with "what do the two relevant ones have to say" after Gabby was being her typical bratty, annoying, wannabe celebrity she seems to be. Eric and Knoxville are the gems of the show, yet somehow this terrible person landed this job. Replace or remove her.

To date, the first episode with the lady clown trying to prank her son has been the best. The male leads are funny and I think they could do more to help support some of the pranks. I'll continue to watch a little longer, but again, Gabby needs to go.

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.
