The Prank Panel

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!!

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 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.

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.
