Prank Science is a Canadian television series that aired on Discovery Channel in 2011. The show is hosted by Morgan Waters, Brendan Callaghan and Michael Pongracz. The show centers around the hosts conducting scientific experiments to test how different pranks affect people under various scenarios. The objective of the show is to understand what makes a prank funny and what makes it go too far.

Each episode of Prank Science features the hosts setting up an elaborate prank and then observing how people react to it. The pranks are designed to be harmless and entertaining, and the hosts ensure that no one gets hurt or offended in the process. Through the course of the show, the hosts explain the science behind why people find certain pranks funny, and explore the psychology of how people react to them.

One of the key aspects of the show is the use of hidden cameras to capture people's reactions. As the prank unfolds, the hosts watch from a remote location as unsuspecting victims fall for their tricks. They then use video footage to analyze the reactions of different people, and understand what makes a particular prank successful or not.

The show is divided into different segments, each of which explores a different aspect of prank science. For example, one segment might focus on the role of peer pressure in pranking, while another might examine how age or gender affects people's reactions to different pranks.

Throughout the show, the hosts use their knowledge of science to create increasingly complex and entertaining pranks. They also draw on their own personal experiences and observations to offer insights and commentary on what they're seeing.

One of the unique things about Prank Science is how the show uses humor to explore serious topics. While the pranks themselves are often silly and entertaining, the show also tackles some deeper questions about human nature and behavior. By using a scientific approach to understand humor and pranking, the hosts are able to shed new light on the ways in which people relate to one another.

Another notable aspect of the show is how it manages to be both informative and entertaining at the same time. While the hosts are clearly knowledgeable about science and psychology, they never come across as stuffy or academic. Rather, they are able to present their ideas in a lively and engaging manner, making the show accessible to a wide audience.

Overall, Prank Science is a fun and informative exploration of the science of humor and pranking. By combining scientific insight with creative pranking, the hosts are able to offer a fresh perspective on what makes people laugh, and why we enjoy playing tricks on one another. Whether you're a prankster at heart, or just someone who enjoys a good laugh, Prank Science has something to offer.
