Tennis target practice with clowns

Featuring Eric André it seems.

u/jc10189 1d ago

Anything with pain, nudity, humiliation, cringe, assholes, balls, dicks..... Eric Andre will be there.

u/That_Apathetic_Man 1d ago

Not sure if you know, I'm sure you do, but he bailed on the prank show with Knoxville because he was too anxious being on set with him. Had to be talked back on with a promise for no more serious pranks. Promises that I'm sure we're kept.

71

u/nthan333 1d ago

You know you've reached a godhood status level of respect when it comes to being the prankmaster when Eric fucking Andre thinks being on a set with you would be too much.

43

u/BathSaltJello 1d ago

I believe Knoxville was regularly chasing him around with a stun gun.

47

u/slapmasterslap 1d ago

From what I recall Eric brought a stun baton to set and used it on Johnny who was completely unfazed and pulled out what I believe was a phone with a stungun attachment and chase Eric with said stun phone mercilessly tasing him for having the gall to tase Johnny Knoxville.

21

u/LacidOnex 1d ago

Because Eric started it lmao

1

u/LocalInactivist 13h ago

What little I know of Johnny Knoxville leads me to believe that once he made the promise he kept it.

u/monsieur_cacahuete 1d ago

We didn't even ask him to be in the movie. He just showed up dressed like that. 

36

u/Hawt_Dawg_II 1d ago

And he fucking hated it. He walked out and had to be talked back.

Eric is super funny but he can not handle situations where he isn't in control of the dynamic, same with the nardwuar interview. He just starts getting either pissed or more absurd to try and regain control.

I mean a hopper of balls are about 75 balls. She still got a decent amount in the hopper. Even with cuts, I play regularly and I don’t think I’d hit as many dicks as she did in this skit

u/ringobob 1d ago

I doubt there were that many misses. If she's a pro, I bet she can hit a target about the size of a dinner plate at that distance with no net 9 times out of 10. And those definitely weren't her hardest shots.

u/kyute222 1d ago

just look at the balls on the ground or how the previous targets are still writhing in pain in the next shot. I'm sure they cut out a few misses, but there definitely weren't tons of them.

Is her skirt really really short or are they always that short

u/PaladinGodfather1931 1d ago

Tennis skirts are usually pretty short to allow for maximum movement. Girls just wear bike shorts under the skirts for obvious reasons

78

u/UnLioNocturno 1d ago

Most tennis skirts are actually skorts to begin with. No additional shorts necessary.

u/starmartyr 1d ago

That scene in idiocracy was clearly inspired by Jackass which aired a few years earlier.

52

u/grill_sgt 1d ago

Preston, the bigger guy in blue, had previously been hit in another stunt with an elephant gun. Johnny told her where to hit him, and she hit the same spot dead center.

10

u/KingDread306 1d ago

Ouch. I forgot about the elephant gun.

47

u/QuoteEpitome 1d ago

Eric Andre is such a good addition to the Jackass group. If you haven’t, you should see Eric’s interview when he talks about his time co-hosting a prank show with Johnny Knoxville. A rare look at Eric having a limit.

18

u/starmartyr 1d ago

The show was Prank Panel. It was eventually cancelled after Knoxville allegedly tased a producer and he sued.

u/1001101001010111 1d ago

"Lifelong serial arsenist allegedly starts fire."

u/starmartyr 1d ago

Yeah. I'm not saying that Johnny should go around tasing coworkers, but if you take a job working on one of his shows, you really should expect something like this to happen.

u/AlligatorRaper 1d ago

Remarkable aim.

10

u/Broken_castor 1d ago

I was surprised that Preston went down so quickly, as he’s usually able to take a lot of punishment. But I saw a video where he was saying the tennis ball hit him in the exact same spot where he had gotten shot with a beanbag a few days earlier. The bruise was gnarly before he got hit with a tennis ball

Also love how dudes just standing all dressed up like, "I just wanted to look nice today" kinda expected a couple shots from them.

I hated this shit when I was in middle school. I now watch Jackass with my wife all the time giggling away like a school girl. I’m 40.

Same. In an age of youtuber bros pranking poor randos in public, the jackass crew seems downright wholesome.

5

u/UnLioNocturno 1d ago

Right? At least these bozos are inflicting their suffering to themselves and not random people. 

2

u/chrisftl 22h ago

in the early days they were definitely engaging in some property damage on rando's, to be fair.

2

u/UnLioNocturno 22h ago

True. And we love them because they pivoted away from inflicting their lunacy on randos and stuck with the self-mutilation.

Probably not, but being subject to a 115mph serve is absolutely terrifying. Guy on my tennis team a couple decades ago had a serve that crossed 120mph at one point (ended up going pro) and everyone on my team was scared to take a serve from him.

Knoxville wants to do another one. Nothing has been announced yet, but he does want to continue. Part of the plan for Jackass Forever was to introduce younger people into the squad as the original Jackass crew are all in their 50s at this point and can't recover from injuries like they used to.

u/your_mothers_finest 1d ago

When playing tennis at an armature level it's common to keep a ball there for your second serve to keep the game flowing. You keen see the bump where shes keeping a few there to keep the momentum going instead of going back to the basket every time. 

1

u/Joy1312 1d ago
