The Prank Panel

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.

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!

I'm seeing bad reviews here, and i've only seen the first episode but me and my brother watched it while high and we laughed our asses off, especially with the car prank. We even watched it again with our parents because they wanted to see it. The format is a little odd but I think they work with it great and I like that it was 40 minutes long. My favorite on the show is Eric Andre, but i like Johnny Knoxville as well. I did hear Eric Andre was close to quitting because Johnny was pranking him too much, so that kind of sucks on the production side of things. I don't know who Gabourey Sidibe is and to be honest i don't even know why she's here, It would've been better if her seat was filled with different guest stars throughout the season. Anyways, i think it's entertaining and can be funny!

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.
