It's on TruTV.

The premise is about 4 friends compete in hidden camera prank challenges. Whoever loses the most challenges in each episode must face a humiliation concocted by the other 3 guys.

It's hilarious, got me laughing so hard I almost spit out my food when I was eating.

In one of the challenge, they were care salesmen and try to convince the buyer to get into a trunk of a car, and one actually succeed in getting 2 in the trunk, lol.

I'd seen commercials for this show, but never actually caught an episode until the other night. Based on the commercials, I thought it was a neat concept, but I kept my expectations very low, simply because everything sucks nowadays.

After just a couple episodes, it became one of my favorite shows. Every bit they did made me laugh hysterically -- very rarely does a TV show or movie make me laugh that hard once, let alone countless times in a single episode. After watching just a couple episodes, I went and downloaded the entire season, and watched the rest the other day. 8 or 9 episodes later and my stomach and face hurt from laughing so much.

I really hope this show doesn't get cancelled. These guys have a hit on their hands, and they definitely seem creative enough to keep it fresh over multiple seasons. Hopefully they'll eventually release seasons on DVD/Blu-ray. I'll gladly support those guys.

Love this show.

I said I would like to be on the show and my 14 year old daughter said "You should be, you act just like them."

One of the aspects I love the most is none of them ever know what they're going to have to say to somebody. So then you get to watch their reaction as they're told what to say, and then watch them stumble through it.

Working at the White Castle register, talking to an older man on the heavy side:
"Alright, your total comes to $12.93.....and this meal will be on the house if you show me your tits."

"I'm sorry?"

"You won't have to pay for any of this if you just show me your titties."

And then when they're doing park surveys at Six Flags:
Guy asks an unsuspecting park visitor (who is male) all kinds of park related questions, and then - "How badly would you say your titties were bouncing on Batman the Ride?"

I watch it. Some of the skits are ok, some make me cry from the laughter. I mean it, I tear up. For such a low budget show, it's excellent.

The best skits are not those when they're told what to say (because they often say no), but when they click a slide or hold up a card without any idea what's on it and have to explain it. Those are the ones that are comedy gold.
