The Prank Panel

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!!

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 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.

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.
