[@primal2020]

my favorite bit is the one where he goes to a car dealership in a "two people in a trenchcoat" disguise

Probably first or second most iconic moment lol

"Look at my suit." makes this an A IMO

[@jose9630]

that one deserves a B tier at least

[@theviniso]

That ending is amazing

[@zuraaab]

that actually makes the whole sketch A lmao

[@TheSUPERPOTATO2000]

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.

[@jermyhopkisn9654]

That bit with the cement shoes is almost hard to believe with how well it went.

[@jasonbrodbeck]

yeah the way they have a mic on him always made me think it was staged

[@hca2]

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

[@bigmutant69]

@@hca2 sometimes they hire people and the people aren't in on it, like the guy in the wheat paste prank

[@mryeezy9162]

@@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.

[@Cyborganna]

@@mryeezy9162 Investigate 3/11!

[@GelAKASonny]

2 Biggest surprises: 1.) Hannibal REALLY kicked Flavor Flav in the face. 2.) Lance Reddick interview was scripted.

[@jus1029ph]

They only told Lance to "get pissed off and walk away" to do the Levar Burton skit, but the desk punch was unexpected hence Andre's reaction

[@DanieleCapellini]

@@jus1029ph Have you watched the video? He says they told him to punch the desk.

3.) Amy Schumer was on the Eric Andre show

Agreed

[@AnthonyTrudeau]

Right? All my favorite bits were left out of s tier.

[@pommemelon7026]

It's insane, his favorite is literally my least favorite, hate that voice-over.

[@jasonbrodbeck]

Hands down favorite , don't know how he could rank so low

[@todessehnsucht]

due process in the court of law, and all that stuff... LOOK AT MY SUIT!

[@benic5527]

The amount of oxygen he must have in his house is insane

[@hassmann2000]

You fkkin killed me man. I'm literally lolling.

[@aidanmandude]

It's actually really healthy for your brain, when you have plants in your immediate environment.

[@corncobjohnsonreal]

He should be careful around open flames or like nukes because they can ignight oxugen

[@defferwa]

Do most people not have houseplants?

[@glipk]

Look at the bottles doe. He probably sells bottled oxygen to the Chinese

[@kashird2277]

It's always been Black Scientologists for me. I'm constantly quoting the "prove it! took a poop in front of us" line

This sounds like a Diplo song

[@nickjanz7595]

That freeze frame at the end of the Froot Loops bit is honestly beautiful, like a renaissance painting depicting existential dread.

[@CornholioPuppetMaster]

He’s got nothing, don’t you care?

[@proctorritter5176]

That’s your problem, homeboy!

[@Squival138]

how can "look at my suit" be ranked C? Thats pure gold.

[@TheTenCentStory]

He's probably grading it from a creation standpoint and can't authentically judge it on a viewing pleasure aspect. He knows all the ins and outs.

[@BenDover-tk3jj]

It's a lot more tame than his other skits/pranks, he likes to really illicit a reaction instead of just letting them roll with it.

[@plasticinetv]

Yeah, that's one of my favorite skits

[@HotlineSacramento]

The best prank is hannibal leaving the show haha funny joke hannibal you can come back now... hannibal???

[@thewalkdead45]

My favorite ones are the interviews where he doubles the guests along with himself and hannibal. Those are hilarious

[@elijahgavin6706]

JILLIAN BARBERIE

[@caine0729]

Acid flashbacks

[@keokihiga8462]

Classic... he’s pranking Pauly D then he pranks his double (Andy samburg) and completely catches him off guard

[@mcbaited5455]

my favorite one of those is when andy samberg is doulbing eric andre just takes his pants off and samberg just starts laughing and breaks character

[@coolbeanz1070]

Tyler the creator’s was so fitting

[@louper3002]

That skit where he's an agnostic street preacher "I'm a superstar rock!", "Jesus was alive.... Maybe" has me every time

Sounds like something Flava Flav would say

[@amu.s.an_]

hannibal himself said that he didnt kick him in the face

[@agentcodydanks]

He didn’t .....jesus man.

[@OtterSC2]

The VFX artist did a great job but come on just common sense says its not real and if you watch the clip slowed down its very obviously faked

[@neerkum5428]

he wasn't kidding when he said he has a bar at his house lol

[@drumboarder1]

He just got it for this interview, it's a long con prank

[@nikoandroman]

Isn’t that a common thing

[@brigham9812]

That lance reddick clip even though it was scripted, was comedy gold

[@albertnortononymous9020]

The premise was scripted. The improv was off the chain tho

[@huismands]

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.

[@Chestersinthecar]

Thomas Ladder? Sounds like Lil Boosie

[@zephh_sk]

"Due process in the court of law... and all that stuff. Look at my suit." I'd give that sketch an A just for that line.

[@Crowsmith]

"Due process in the court of law and all of that stuff . . . look at my suit" 🤣

[@ScreamerProductionss]

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.

Editor here - We did! But he just basically said nothing happened so we didn't find it that interesting to leave in

[@fuzzypanda2804]

Honestly though, even scripted the Lance Reddick bit was hilarious and amazing. He was a great man and will be missed.

[@Glassandcandy]

Eric Andre show is like a perfect compilation of the bystander effect in action

[@thelawrencee]

How?

[@Glassandcandy]

@@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.

[@Glassandcandy]

@@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]

@@Glassandcandy damn yeah it’s crazy how society turned out like this

[@Glassandcandy]

@@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.

Is it tough making a prank/hidden camera show in the days of KZbin, 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??"

[@lavenderllamamusic]

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.
