like very layered social situations and compete against each other to see who could do the best in these social situations.

So it's more hidden camera than it is prank.

Well, that's the basis of the show.

So two things we did was we kind of took that element out of it because it's always on us.

We throw each other under the bus, so we're not really feeling bad for the mark, so to speak.

They're participating in it, but...

Well, sorry about that.

All right.

So we're trying to compete against them.

And it's like, what I want the most out of someone is not for them to be angry or scared.

I want them to be confused.

That bewildered state is where I think a lot of the comedy comes.

You know what I mean?

And then the other thing is that we made...

That uncomfortableness be a hallmark of the show.

So we knew right away, well, I don't want to do that.

And so what if I don't want to do that?

And it's like, well, then you could say no, and then you'll lose.

But it's funny in the failure.

So we made sure that we were able to be like, well, that's too much for me.
