Reality Roll Call Talks With College Humor About Their New Show, “Pranked”

Streeter and Amir of College Humor Talk About Their New MTV Show Pranked in Part 1 of Our Interview

Reality Roll Call had the chance to talk to Streeter and Amir from CollegeHumor.com about their new show, “Pranked,” loosely based on their internet video series, “Prank Wars.”

(Since I spoke with both Streeter and Amir over the phone there were times when I didn’t know who was answer my questions. As a result, “CH” in the interview stands for “College Humor”, which represemts both of them.)

RRC: Tell us about Pranked.

Amir: It’s like taking the funniest pranks from the web and delivering them right into your television.You know how America’s Funniest Home Videos was, but only for online prank clips. And me and Streeter are the Bog Saget.

RRC: So you’re both Bob Saget.

Streeter: No one man can be quite as good as Bob Saget, so MTV had to hire two.

RRC: Where do you get the clips? Did you guys say, “Hey, send us your clips, or do you look for the clips on the web?

Streeter: I don’t think we’re allowed to solicit clips. I think that’s illegal. So, pretty much the production company that’s been putting this show together will send us a bunch of clips, and we’ll watch them and say which ones we like, which ones we don’t like, which ones we think are fake, and that’s how the show comes together.

RRC:So the show is based on Prank Wars (an online CH video series where Amir and Street pull elaborate pranks on one another). It sounds like it is kind of based on Prank Wars,but not really, because in Prank Wars you guys had elaborate set ups. This is more every day stuff, right?

CH: These are much more simple. We never actually show Prank Wars on the show. It’s loosely based on Prank Wars in that they’re prank clips, but that’s where the association kind of stops. A lot of the pranks are much shorter, simpler, and more digestable than the Prank War clips.

RRC: Can you give us an example of some of the things we’ll see?

CH: There’s a clip of some guy bungee jumping, and as he jumps off the bridge his friends throw a rope that’s not attached to anything, and they tell him, “Wait, wait, wait! Hold on!” as he’s falling you see this rope not attached to anything, and as he’s falling  towards this river he’s convinced himself that he’s gonna die. It’s just a little ten second clip.

RRC: It’s probably for the best that it was short, because this guy probably released some bodily fluids…

CH: For better or for worse the camera’s pretty far him as he’s falling so we can’t exactly see the exact moment he shits his pants, but I’m sure it’s in there.

RRC: Were there clips that were really good that you know you couldn’t show on TV?

CH: There have been a couple that the censors said no to, but I’m having trouble recalling them. Usually the ones that are mean spirited or dangerous get the axe, because they don’t want anybody emulating that. But the ones that made the final clip are not the vanilla, boring ones. It’s just that the ones that are very, very dangerous probably aren’t going to make it on air.

RRC: So you can be naked…

CH: Oh yeah. Definitely.

RRC: Excellent.

Streeter: Amir and I shot most of the show naked.

Amir: All the shots you see of us are in the nude.

RRC: So that’s better than Bob Saget.

Streeter: Ha! This is cable after all.

Pranked airs Thursdays at 10:30, starting tonight, on MTV. Check back with Reality Roll Call next week for the second part of the interview.
