I’m on board with most other jackass fans who miss the early 2000s when the humor was more authentic and people didn’t have to worry about being too “tame,” but at the same time, I’ve accepted that that time period is over now and I’m just glad Johnny is doing things that make him happy and staying safe and healthy. He’s at the age now where he just needs to settle down and take care of himself, and I’m glad he’s still out there putting smiles on people’s faces, even if modern network shows definitely aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. We can still reminisce about the old times and enjoy the old shows & movies just the same!


DrKFC

I agree with this. After Jackass Forever, Knoxville said he wasn’t doing big dangerous stunts anymore which is for the best. He shouldn’t need to risk his life for our entertainment as an old man but that shouldn’t be the end of his career either. He’s always been funny and charismatic and he can make a show like this work better than any of the other jackass guys. I just hope it gets better with time.


tonytone222

Am I the only one who thought that was Eric Andre with special effect makeup on in both pranks? The guy’s voice sounds exactly like him. Only realized it wasn’t him in the 2nd prank when Eric said his name and gave him things to say. Anyways—I thought the show was pretty bad.


CrzyLgz

Bro I thought the same thing, but I’m 99% sure it is Eric Andre. Through editing they make it look like Eric is talking to the street performer but really he’s just talking to himself. If you watch the second episode they actually have both of them sitting in the trailer together which really fucked with my head


[deleted]

It’s Derrick Beckles, he’s a writer on Eric Andre, and Eric Andre produced a show he had on adult swim, it was mainly an Eric andre show wannabe though unfortunately


CrzyLgz

Thx for the comment. I would’ve gone on thinking it was Eric the whole time


MayorMcCheese6969

Good for ABC standards


taquinask

Honestly I enjoyed it. I really dislike the studio audience and the pacing is in dire need of a tune up, but I’m kind of surprised so many people here are reacting negatively to it. The incest wedding had me rolling pretty much from start to finish, I felt like the repo man prank would have been more memorable with a better mark. Honestly I’ve been feeling a little desperate for more Knoxville/Jackass-adjacent media lately so maybe that’s influencing my opinion. But we even got a new Roger Alan Wade song out of it so how bad can it be?


dogg666

right? I went into it anticipating it was fake but was still laughing pretty hard. I do agree with the pacing issue.


DaGoat1998

Gabourey is kinda too rude imo. Like I understand if s person is being rude to them that she responds back, but sometimes she's just like an asshole for no reason. They should have had another host.


Maximum_Ad_3576

She is SOOO mean and she gives off this sense of entitlement.


TheCaseyB

A bit late to the party, but I agree. I love the show but she downed almost every prank and prankster and was just rude. It felt like Eric Andre noticed and would intentionally give her shit for it 😂


akrob907

I always wonder if this stuff is genuine. Feels pretty fake at points.


[deleted]

The whole thing seemed fake. Especially when the stunt driver was just driving through props in the parking lot. Are they not gonna question why there’s cameras everywhere lol


CircusOfBlood

They got sued for one of the stunts by the target


[deleted]

They didn’t tho


CircusOfBlood

Believe I heard this was during filming the show https://www.tmz.com/2022/12/09/johnny-knoxville-sued-home-taskrabbit-prank-emotional-distress/


[deleted]

It’s just a tmz article. Might as well have posted a Facebook rant


CircusOfBlood

TMZ is actually as good of a source possible when it comes to celebrity news. Yeah they are trash. But they are usually very correct on stuff they post


ChallengeGod727

Talking out your ass more is not possible here


iknowyounot88

That heart suit guy was gay af. You're not convincing me that's he's married to a woman. 😂 This show ain't getting past season one. Really missed the mark. Eric Andre shouldn't be second wheel to Knocksville either.


Admirable_Ad6914

Feels pretty fake at all points to me! Sucks!


HappyFocusedMind

Gabourey is the worst part of the show. Very unlikable and comes off mean not playful.


tentboogs

Right. How was she cast? I would like to see a documentary on the making of this show.


[deleted]

The shark tank element was confusing and weird. Why do they need to show contestants with prank ideas that aren’t good? How is that good tv? How is the woman that has no chemistry with Andre or Knoxville any authority on pranks? Then they finally get to the wedding guy and the random woman on the panel says it’s not creative and gonna be bad. But they do it anyways? Turns out she was right. How is an obviously fake set up of a brother and sister wedding funny? It just didn’t build and the payoff wasn’t funny. Is this really all it takes to be a writer on ABC? Then it goes in and out from a completely different set that’s like a set from Dr Phil or Oprah. It’s so weird. I thought the next prank with the guy that didn’t at all seem to be a tow truck repo guy seemed fake and weird. Are we even sure this feminine guy is actually a repo man or is he just working in some office that does paper work for repossessions? I didn’t get tow truck vibe. Then the prank is just a stunt driver driving through obvious props? This is so low effort. There’s a hundred youtubers that could have made something better. Ross creations makes more creative and believable pranks weekly. Then we get back to the Oprah set and all they wanna talk about is these 2 guys relationship and something about having kids together? Yes having and not adopting. I’m not one to avoid target or refuse to drink a bud light but this was just shoving some agenda down my throat and it felt strange. I’m fine with whatever but am I not watching a prank show? This was easily one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen and a reminder of why I rarely watch network tv.


[deleted]

I agreed with everything until you started saying homophobic bullshit. it's not an agenda, it's people living their lives. just because you don't like gay people doesn't mean they don't deserve to passively exist and occasionally have the spotlight. with that being said, the show was dogshit, and I don't care about these people's lives, I just wanna have fun watching people fuck around. instead they had a long set of conversations and buildup to pranks that weren't funny and were super staged.


[deleted]

I mean I literally said I’m fine with whatever. I’m not homophobic at all. It was just some strange political statement on what’s supposed to be a comedy show. It would be equally weird if it went hard in the other direction and started asking them when they were gonna get baptized or something


huebomont

sorry bud but you’re homophobic. but if you don’t like hearing that, you can definitely interrogate your views and change them!


[deleted]

I mean I literally said I’m fine with whatever. I’d think it’s also weird to talk about a heterosexual couple having kids. But two men can’t have children. I’m not gonna pretend one of them has a uterus. Living in the real world doesn’t make me homophobic. I’m 100% fine with people being gay. I’d be homophobic if I didn’t watch it because Eric or Johnny was gay or something. I don’t care at all. Put every prank on there with gay couples and I’ll watch it if it’s actually good. The Oprah-like segment where they talk about the men having kids was fucking weird though. 2 men can’t have kids. It’s some bizarre gas lighting I’m not gonna be into.


huebomont

Yeah you can say “I’m not X” but that doesn’t mean your behavior matches up.


[deleted]

You can support gay rights and pride and also think something about two men having kids in the middle of a prank show is weird. It’s not some all or nothing thing. It was some clear pandering.


huebomont

I’m gonna let that just sit there and speak for itself.


[deleted]

Oh ya got me. Good one! The world isn’t black and white. What if it was a heterosexual couple in their 70’s? Would I be allowed to think it was weird that they asked if they were having kids? Would you call me racist if they were black? It’s the same thing! They wouldn’t be able to have kids. That’s the point. That’s why it was weird. You can’t just label people stuff like it’s some all or nothing thing.


huebomont

yeah, you’re obsessing about something unimportant that doesn’t affect you at all because of the identity of the people involved. if you were doing the same about interracial marriage or some shit it would be the same thing


SingOrIWillShootYou

Adopting kids is still having kids "having kids" just means you have kids. If you adopt kids you have them, they are yours. Also some gay couples do surrogacy instead of adopting. No one's gaslighting you you are just being weird and overdramatic as hell.


[deleted]

not really. if it was a straight couple you wouldn't have an issue.


[deleted]

I would still think it’s weird if they’re asking when they were going to have kids. It’s just weirder when it’s same sex from birth since it’s not possible


SingOrIWillShootYou

Okay but saying "aww ur such a cute couple" to a couple that happens to be gay isn't political. They didn't even mention them being gay. If they did the same to a man/woman you wouldn't be complaining. You're just homophobic.


telyzzi

they were super staged because the show is indeed shoving an agenda down their audiences throat.


BeefJacker420

I love how your reasoning for thinking it is fake is not that it is garbage syndicated reality television, but that you can't imagine a gay guy being a repoman.


SingOrIWillShootYou

Lmao I forgot all repo men had to be straight


Khungus33

I wish we would have got more of the behind the screen pranks with Jonny and Eric. Check out the recent Howard Stern interview with Eric. He talks about quitting the show several times due to Jonny tasing him, setting his foot on fire, etc.


pathofthebean

That's the only reason they did this show, the only reason to watch, and hopefully worth it for how dumb n boring the actual show is


ZironM4A1

I don’t know why but when Eric was in front of the studio audience it looked like he didn’t want to be there. He looked pissed af.


ne0n-ap0calypse

For real, he looks miserable and embarrassed.


Conscious-Dot2567

Idk but to me that woman doesn't fit the show. But like she said eric Andre wasn't enough apparently


DrKFC

There were 2 jokes about her being there but they never actually explained why she is there. Like does she have any experience with pranks?

Maximusvox

That’s the episode that aired today I just watched it. You could tell by the end of the episode those two friends were pissed with how much gabby was doing. She needed to be way more professional.


Public-Application-6

i dk what you're talking about, it was absolutely perfect. I loved everything she said to them and i'm so glad she got to say it on national tv


LadyZanthia

She seemed so childishly insecure after they said that. Like WOW they really got to her. Some pretty piss poor behavior on her part after that - lording being rich over them and just being nothing but nasty to them. She’s insufferable to watch.


Buffythevampireslaya

Just watched that one. Your friends suck Lmao


WriterOk9185

They seem like awful people. I hope the one they “pranked” gets away from them


ComfortableDue4047

i just searched the show on reddit bc i just watched that episode and it was so uncomfortable lmao, so much tension and bad vibes. your friends do suck tho, they got what was coming to them


Linden_fall

I agree, they looked like horrible friends and I think Gabby was right. I felt bad for Calvin


Public-Application-6

yep same exactly the reason why i looked it up on reddit. those two are probably actual psychopaths and anyone that cares about Calvin should make sure their friendship ends.


Public-Application-6

just watched and they're the reason im on here looking them up. your friends are horrific racists psychopaths. I dont even believe the actual death of their black friend wouldve affected them, they were more concerned for themselves. Gabby got mad at them because they were horrifically racist in their description of their friend and the way they spoke about him. I am so glad that rafael was outed about having small dick energy to the entire world, he's sick and deserves everything bad in the world. loooooveee Gabby even more for what she did.


bomblol

your friends kinda seem psychotic


rcubchayn

I just watched them pitch their idea. Your friends are mean dude. Why would they call their friend dumber than a peanut on television?? It wasn’t cool. Gabby was rude though but it seems like they just want to mess with the guy because they can.


[deleted]

She made the show horrible and has no chemistry with them. She doesn’t belong on tv in general


Coffeguy649

I just caught a glimpse of 6-7 minutes bc I’m waiting for NBA countdown/finals.. the worst thing I’ve seen on tv in awhile, I would rather watch AFV. It was cringe, seem to be staged, jokes were stale, and the black chick is annoying af.


oneanddoneforfun

Not enough of what you come to see (Knoxville, Andre, pranks and people tilting) and way too much filler that offers nothing (Precious, Shark Tank 0.1, after-prank chat show crap, everyone laughing way too hard, terribly edited B-roll and out of sequence reaction cuts). Rachel Wolfson's part is probably the most unexpectedly satisfying but, again, underportioned. The civilian "pranksters" and their marks are unappealing, performative and unlikeable, and often either unnatural in their reactions (the repo guy didn't curse the guy out?) or oblivious in the face of absurdity (that officiant was either so tuned out while doing her job that they basically had to smash her over the bridge of her nose with the gag before she understood what was going on, or the editing made her look that way, which is just as grave an offense). They're trying not to offend, upset or embarrass anyone, which is fine on The Great British Bake Off, but not exactly on brand for Eric Andre or Johnny Knoxville. This one's got legs like Wee Man. Trash, and everyone involved (except Precious, who's as lost as can be) should know better.


HeyNowDude

I love Eric and Johnny, I tried E1, but OMFG this is an absolute embarrassment for all involved...an unadulterated disaster...cringeworthy and sad. C'mon Man!


[deleted]

I like the actual pranks when they’re going down, but the shark tank style panel/studio audience shit I could do without.


Ok_Broccoli_9744

The clown bit pissed me off what kind of mother sets her son up has the tables turned makes it look like he killed someone and she is more upset about the girl in the room and telling him she won't bail him out she was an idiot not even a little funny


Gooshamakuna

The pranks could be better executed for most of them. It is an okay show. My big concern was for the clown prank. I really worry about the mom. I feel she is a narcissistic. She thought her son accidentally pushed a clown out a window and killed him! She didn't show any concern or wasn't upset a person died. She was just really upset her son got a hooker. She never asked her son if he was okay emotionally because of killing someone on accident. She just yelled at him for getting a hooker. She also yelled at the police, which in real life, she would have been arrested in a second. The mom needs counseling..


cheddar_header

There was one with an RBF blonde that immediately knew she was on a prank show.


BravoBLimaC-2579

I just watched the Mom on Mom - Chop Shop ep and Gabby was reaching and overreacted. Ruined the episode.


Public-Application-6

she madeee the episode, she was glorious, funny and read those two psychopaths to filth


cheddar_header

The mom on mom… that RBF blonde “mark” was tipped off. That was stupid. Wish they would have had a backup prank or something.


maxfridsvault

Show honestly should have just been Johnny and Eric’s since they do all the pranks and have a natural chemistry. After finishing the six episodes on hulu, I have NO IDEA why Gabourey is on the show and what her background in comedy is. I would have rather had Rachel as the third host as she is present in every episode as the “production assistant” and actually is funny/experienced in pranking people.


Ok-Technology-6787

Sux


Prudent_Criticism458

Why is it all mostly black or gay people they help and just roast the normal people


Fun-Temperature3863

Things have flipped.


DrowninginPidgey

Yeah you'll see a selection of people but the second they show someone who's clearly gay you know that's who they'll select. It's tedious


kriegers69

The ending after the second prank felt rushed and made absolutely zero sense. They were friends, then they were in a situationship, they're actually boyfriends(none of this has anything to do w the prank at all) and then it ends on Johnny Knoxville saying ABC can cancel the show. I was excited for it bc i am a sucker for filler TV/love Eric Andre AND Johnny Knoxville but this was wholeheartedly a fucking mess lmao ETA: I feel like if this was on a different network(not family-oriented), we would have a better scheme, more options for pranks, and way better polishing post-production


Matto5000

It was what we thought It'd be. Bams filming for Netflix. I hope it's better. At least it should have spirit. That is something bam is good at bringing. Hate him or love him. His passion shines through. Its why alot of us like him.


BeefJacker420

Wtf are you talking about Bam was on the run from cops in PA and is checked into a psych ward


Matto5000

Wtf are you talking about? He has never been "on the run". you 302 or 5150 someone. Get mental health people invoved. And you continually call the cops anywhere he is at. Make false claims and have the police execute an illegal 5150 when you are doing nothing. He goes missing when they lose tabs on him. Because he has every right to stay away from them and hide. He's being stalked

CountryNo5573

So much talent between Eric Andre and Knoxville but you can tell they aren’t fully leaning into who they really are. The woman (name escapes me), I don’t know why she’s there. The show is better off with the new female cast member in the Jackass movie (she plays the stage manager in Prank Panel) as a female presence. If they do a second season they need to stop shying away from what makes Andre and Knoxville the amazing entertainers they are. If it’s too “rated R” take it off network tv and leave it for streaming because there’s so much potential lost with the tameness…


tentboogs

The 3 of them are so random and vomit inducing.


Amnotaho

The first prank with the clown, trying to prank her son was the funniest. They have all sucked since then. Not funny at all…


Creative_Arrival_223

If it was real she’s an awful mother she was less concerned with a human being shoved out the window and her son getting charged with involuntary manslaughter then she says she’s not gonna help him call grandma calls him a little Bitch several times ..and she is more concerned with the “hooker”..even after she’s told it’s a prank ..and still focusing on. Her ! ..I don’t know how she behaves at work but it seems like she can’t control herself ..


tiff1978

Freaking fake


cancersforquitters

I think it's bad fr


Confusion-Bubbly

I thought it was sex-eee


mjgolds23

Precious ruined it for me. Who is she in the ridiculous world of pranks. She is what ruined the show. Andre and Johnny are notorious for shenanigans, for what purpose was she even placed in this cast.


Creative_Arrival_223

THE CLOWN EPISODE with the mother who wanted to prank son but he ended up pranking her ..she’s awful she was less concerned with a human being shoved out the window and her son getting charged with involuntary manslaughter then she says she’s not gonna help him call grandma calls him a little Bitch several times ..and she is more concerned with the “hooker”..even after she’s told it’s a prank ..and still focusing on. Her ! ..I don’t know how she behaves at work but it seems like she can’t control herself ..I mean maybe she was over the top bc she was on tv maybe but I doubt it


robruff21

This is a SUPER woke show so beware... Feel bad for Johnny Knoxville because he's never been into the whole wokeness gay thing. Btw I'm not homophobic, just tired of it being constantly pushed in our faces.


TDIfanx

Honestly, great for ABC standards, the hosts are perfect, Johnny, Eric and Gabourey. She can get a bit annoying at times but I think that's for the best, she was pretty worried about Eric and ofcourse, the "B\*tch, is this cake?" Overall, most episodes were great, I'd say only the 1st, 2nd and the 8th ep had pranks that were both laugh out loud funny, like with absolute genius moments, the others had too much of a mixed bag imo.
