Series / The Jamie Kennedy Experiment

Go To

An American hidden camera/practical joke Reality Show hosted by Jamie Kennedy where he pranks unknowing bystanders and creating different situations to get reactions.

The show aired on The WB from 2002 to 2004.


Tropes for the series:

  • Emergency Impersonation: One episode had the mark told he bore a striking resemblance to a foreign prince who was too hung over to appear at a press conference, and was asked to take his place.
  • Fun with Foreign Languages: One of the funnier gags involved Jamie posing as a clueless maitre d' in a Japanese restaurant while the employees insulted him in Japanese. Jamie couldn't understand a word, but the customer knew exactly what they were saying. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Sapient Cetaceans: One victim is actually convinced that a dolphin can speak using a robotic-sounding translator. The dolphin asks to make a phone call to his girlfriend in another tank. It's really well-done, enough so that the mark actually accepts this, until the dolphin starts talking about their secret plans to overthrow the world, losing much of its credibility.
  • Tagline: "You could be X'd!".
