Break Continues To Lead YouTube Prank Show Trend With Two New Series
Has any channel benefited more from the increased popularity of YouTube prank shows than Break? In the past year, channels like Prank Vs. Prank, Magic of Rahat, and Roman Atwood have scored millions of views, and brands like Dove and Pepsi Max have achieved viral hits in which they ‘prank’ viewers. While this movement has grown, Break has been able to use its status as a purveyor of the Internet’s choicest gags to expand its own audience. In August, Break debuted two new prank shows, Prank Bank and Hanky Pranky, adding to its library of well-executed gotchas.
Prank Bank and Hanky Pranky are quite similar, as they each showcase one prank each week. The main distinction between them is the gender of the hosts; Hanky Pranky is hosted by a busty woman while Prank Bank is helmed by Annoying Orange and SourceFed veteran Kevin Brueck. This gender difference is evident during each show’s first episode: Hanky Pranky opens with a stunt where its host tears up valuable comic books in front of flabbergasted nerds, while Prank Bank begins with Brueck crassly attempting to seduce women at Comic-Con.
Prank Bank has since released a second episode, where Brueck dresses like a surgeon and keeps dropping an organ on the ground while rushing to perform a transplant.
