Prank Encounters

One of the best guilty pleasures I've had in a long time. Don't be critical. Just enjoy the show.

This show is pretty fun and entertaining, the reactions from the people being pranked is funny, so what if its not as good as scare tactics? The episodes are short and sweet so they don't drag on longer than necessary, some genuinely great moments. Give it a try if you want some fun easy prankster watching

Gaten explains that there are hidden cameras everywhere, BUT alot of the shots are shaky, which means... handheld! So how does he explain the cameracrew that are holding the cameras? He doesn't. The show just pretends they aren't there.

First, there's a review earlier that states the host is from super natural. No, he's from StrangerThings. I know that and I don't even watch that show. Now, for the show itself. Where to start? Acting: sub par. Feels really staged (obviously it is) but to the point that the one's being pranked feels like they are acting too. Some of the reactions are a little lackluster, making it feel as if they are in on the plot as well. Camera angles: honestly, there are times when the cameras look like they are right there with them and they know they are being filmed. Pranks: original pranks, funny, not believable at all. Overall, this show has some funny moments and is a great concept, although not an original concept, and passes the time. But very unbelievable

It's your typical "scare tactic" type prank show and it's pretty funny, except, are we really suppose to believe that this kid is actually directing this???? It's obvious that he's not and they're just splicing in bits of him pretending he's the director and that part is done quite poorly. He's a perfectly likable host. I'm great with him commenting on the prank and coming out for the big reveal, but don't try to pretend he's running things. Other than that, it's a fun show to watch with the family.

Also, Prank Encounters? That's the title you went with? I get that it's a play on Close Encounters, but "Prank Encounters" sounds like a fake prank show in a movie or cheesy sitcom.
