With his movie Bad Trip debuting on Netflix, comedian Eric Andre joins IGN to rank his best pranks from The Eric Andre Show, from Fruit Loops and Subway Rat to Cement Shoes and Fart 'Splosion. #IGN
The one where an old guy falls off a bicycle and while concerned bystanders are trying to help him Eric comes up in a potato costume and says "I'm a potato"
It's interesting how the fans care about funny lines and premises whereas Eric cares a lot about the reactions and whether or not they buy it. Cool difference in perspectives.
yeah the guy just has a plain safety vest on and helmet with no branding and is spraying rocks with what looks to be pest control. hard to believe its real
@@hca2 it's pretty clear that they put out fake craigslist job ads for some pranks just to make sure there's a dedicated mark in the exact spot they want to shoot, or when they need someone who is wearing / doing something that they need for the bit to make sense.
The scenes where Hannibal and Eric just talk about nonsense like supporting the troops, Thomas Ladder, newspaper articles and such, were always my favorite somehow.
They really got him to talk about what happened with the guy who threw his pizza in Eric's face, but didn't get him to talk about what happened after that guy threw the mic at the squad car.
@@joshdu4514 should have kept in so ppl can at least know nothing happened.. might sound boring on paper but lots of ppl are probably curious if that was one of the times the cops tried to arrest him.
Bad Trip is honestly a masterpiece. At first it was hilarious but then it gets almost meta and morphs into something actually amazing. It definitely deserves to win some kind of accolade
@@thelawrencee The bystander effect is when no one in a large group intervenes in a situation because they assume someone else likely will. Everytime the he does one of his weird, man on the street skits, 90% of the people just stare in shock and amazement or just quietly try to ignore it. Even when the skit is something like Eric beating someone up or being seriously injured. Of course some people do, but consider just how many people don't offer to help or intervene at all when it happens. That's the bystander effect.
@@thelawrencee like there's literally a skit where they fake an abduction of a child in public in front of dozens of people and literally NO ONE does anything to intervene or chase them down lol. They just watch with their mouths agape like wild turkeys in the rain lol
@@thelawrencee it’s always been like that really. Bystander effect is a natural social response that’s uniform across all cultures so far as we can tell.
Bad Trip is truly a landmark in cinema history. They took an idea similar to the impractical jokers movie and perfected it. Hidden camera movies are gonna be a new genre!
@@zoewells3160 Yeah, and the original Borat movie is about 10x better than Bad Trip. Love Eric Andre and his show, but if you watch Bad Trip as a big Borat fan you're never really that impressed or find it that funny, unfortunately
Is it tough making a prank/hidden camera show in the days of RU-vid, TikTok, etc.? Nowadays there must be a lot of people out there who see odd behaviour like that and think "Okay... where's the camera and where is this being posted??"
Too many RU-vid/social media pranks are so staged & scripted. Way too many There’s no integrity or authenticity with them. You’ve got guys like VlogCreations but it’s not 100% pranks. More like 20% pranks, 80% vlog content
This makes me feel so much better, it always limits my enjoyment thinking that at least some part of it is fake. Like maybe the guests don't know the pranks but they know they're gonna be pranked. Also Eric is usually in character like 96% of the time, it's really cool to see him be straight. And play straight.
How could they not talk about one of the all time greatest pranks, the octopus with the midgets as tentacles. All Eric Andre pranks are amazing, but the octupus should be there at the very top
@@MsDarkspyro He's Eric Andre, he knows full well that the funniest answer is sowing doubt. It's the same principle as not scripting reactions, you have to believe on some level that it's real or it's not funny.
The latest season had a prank where he was a widow cleaner that fell down stories above. Funniest part was when he revealed his partner's head crushed by an A/C cause it looked so real lool.
