Everyday people pitch pranks targeting family members, friends and co-workers to a panel of the world's greatest pranksters. Johnny Knoxville, Eric Andre and Gabourey Sidibe form the all-star panel of "pranxperts," taking viewers behind the scenes as they help to plot and plan elaborate and diabolical schemes. The panelists serve as mentors and saboteurs, with celebrity guests sometimes joining the fun.

Johnny Loftus Decider 07/10/2023
... The big reveals – “Hey, we pranked you!” – are mostly worth the wait. But the general wholesomeness of the show undercuts the more crazed stunts that multiple seasons of shows like Jackass have conditioned us to expect from this kind of prank-gram. Go to Full Review

Jan V 12/21/2023 I've watched the whole season, and there is one prank I found somewhat funny (the clown). It is very clear that many of the pranks are faked, and that people are selected on the basis on how "different" they are. And the third host is not there because she's funny. This is a prank show by committee. This show is a waste of Andre and Knoxville. See more ol W 11/01/2023 Kind of a bizarre show. Has a very negative tone. The hosts don't seem to like each other and tend to like the guests even less. Each episode has a weird segment where a guest proposes a weak prank, the hosts critique it and decide not to use it. I have no idea why they even include this in the show. They really give off this holier than thou, I don't need to be here vibe. Knoxville apears to be the only one having a good time, smiling thru the trainwreck. At least 3 of the pranks get foiled early on, others are too over the top for the target to even believe, a few are so mid they don't render much climax. But there are a few pretty funny pranks that land perfect. Gabby manages to feud with several guests in the most drawn out and petty ways. She also insists she can't be pranked and refuses to take part in the on stage antics. It makes you wonder why she is even on the show. Eric Andre shows us a new side as a jaded, impatient celebrity who got roped into something he no longer wants to be a part of. supposed to be fun, comes off pretty cynical. See more D H 10/16/2023 As with any show, there were some parts that weren't as funny, but that goes with any stand-up comedy as well… There was some of them that I laughed so hard my stomach hurt-and nowadays, everyone needs to laugh… Every show will improve, but it was just the first season, so I'm hoping everyone will give it another chance See more Stoner J @Stoner 09/16/2023 The lamest of all prank shows of all time! Literally 80% of the hour long show is them talking in a talk show setting and interviewing potential pranks, then when the prank comes around, it's not really funny, is way too short, and ends way before it has the chance to get funny! This show has nothing on Punk'd (the original), scare tactics or the Jamie Kennedy experiment! See more Jeff F 09/01/2023 Man, I wanted to like this. I love everything Eric Andre has been in up to this point. Including Righteous Gemstones and his episode in Cabinet of Curiosities. But this show is hard cringe. I'm not convinced that most of these pranks are even real. The prank with the two elderly black ladies though... that was so embarrassingly staged. I caught so much second had embarrassment from that one. And each episode has been getting worse and worse. The contestants are highly unlikable. And the pranks themselves are so neutered. I've made it through episode 7, but found myself fast forwarding through big chunks of episodes 6 and 7. I honestly don't think I'll be able to watch more at this point. This is a massive waste of Knoxvilles and Andres talents. See more Dawson H 07/25/2023 Awesome and funny. Surprised an Adult Film style show made it on a 3 letter network. (mostly) appropriate for the whole family See more Read all reviews
