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!

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 Prank Panel is first and for most, very entertaining! Johnny Knoxville and Eric Andre are two of the most creative, avant-garde and explosive comedic forces of the last 30 years in my opinion and the two of them together for me is a no brainer! Why is Gabourey Sidibe in the mix? Every single episode I ask myself that question. I say this as a fan of Gabourey, I loved the coven season of AHS Sidibe was in and who can't appreciate her acting chops in Precious?! I still don't understand why Gabourey is on a panel with two of the greatest pranksters of all time. Putting Gabourey on this panel feels like shoving the wrong puzzle piece in the right place. Gabourey is an awesome actor and the Prank Panel is truly fantastic at times but the show and Sidibe are most of the time just not right together.

Eric Andre makes laugh maybe harder than anyone in the world sometimes and has good moments on The Prank Panel but is in my opinion outshined by the true master of pranks Johnny Knoxville. Anytime Johnny is heavily involved with one of the pranks it just shines so brightly and works so well. Johnny takes pea king from a fun joke thing to almost a legit art form. He really just always seems to know what to do to take things to the next level and is a true master of this craft.

Sometimes the pranks are at such a high level of intensity that I cringe to the point of hiding behind the covers like a teenage girl watching horror movies.

If you're looking for laugh out loud and easy television to watch.. this is it..! Give it a try!!

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.

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.
