Stage Fright Prank Patrol Down Under

Today, Jake joins a very theatrical Prank Patrol.

His mission - to fool his showbiz friend Bryden

into thinking that he's in the audition from hell.

That's disgusting!

And to do this, we're going to transform Jake

into the grumpiest and strangest director in all of the theatre.

And dance! Dance around him!

# Here they come, they're on a roll

# Where they'll strike nobody knows

# If you have a point to prove

# They'll make a plan and see it through

# They'll sign you up to join their crew

# Scotty and the Ninjas too

# Here we go -

# Come on, join the Prank Patrol. #

You want me to help you buy a lounge chair?

OK, I really don't know what you're doing.

Oh! My artistic aspirations are doomed.

I'm trying to ask if want to go pranking.

Why didn't you say that? Of course!

-So you're Jake?

-Yeah.

-Jake off You're Skitting Me?

You are the newest member of the Prank Patrol.

We'll you pull off your dream prank.

You'll need that, your pass to prank. You'll also need this.

Your official Prank Patrol Road Trip jacket. Pop that one on.

Now, Mum?

You want to go to the toilet?

HE LAUGHS

-No! Can we go pranking?

-Sure!

I have to work on my miming. You ready to go?

-Mm-hm.

-Let's hit the road. See you, Mum.

-Have a good time. See you.

This is Jake, an actor and all-round theatrical type.

He loves the spotlight almost as much as I love cheese.

Hey, Prank Patrol. I really need your help to prank my friend Bryden.

He's really gullible and he'd be perfect in a prank.

Jake is out to prank his friend Bryden.

They're both into acting,

and, like all actors,

he's looking for his big break.

Let's just hope we don't break him completely.

Here's our Prank Van. After you, my friend.

Jake, it is fantastic to have you as part of our Prank Patrol Road Trip.

Welcome to our camper van.

Down to pranking business. Tell me all about Bryden.

Before I start, you've just got, er...

What? On my f...? No!

No, no, I'm much more professional than that.

-So, anyway, Bryden.

-So, Bryden.

He's pretty gullible and since he's been getting into acting lately,

I thought he'd enjoy it.

Yeah, OK. Fantastic.

We need to come up with some sort of idea of how we can prank him.

Do you have any ideas up your sleeve?

Lately, he's been into comedy,

so I'd love to put him into an audition situation.

That's what I was thinking. We have a perfect one called Stage Fright.

We'll get into that in a second.

I've been keeping a diary of my journey so far on the Road Trip.

If you want to check it out, this is my latest video diary entry.

You'll love it.

Dear Diary. Just between you and I,

I'm getting sick of sleeping in that van with the Ninjas.

They're always giggling. So today I put up my first tent.

You know, it is important for a guy like me

to have their own space and I put it up with no trouble at all.

I'm pretty natural and talented at those sort of things.

All right, check you Campers later. Scotty out.

Amazing, isn't it? Look, you're speechless! I knew you'd love it.

I knew you'd love that.

Time to check out the blueprint. This is it.

It's Stage Fright. What happens in this prank is

we send Bryden to what he thinks is a big time audition in a theatre,

except it's going to be anything but that.

There'll be this director at the audition,

and he's going to make him do the most ridiculous stuff possible,

like dancing, dressing up, all that palaver.

-That'll be awesome.

-Awesome.

Except this director then all of a sudden becomes really nasty,

gets angry at people, starts yelling, being super-super-bossy,

but get this - the director is going to be played by you.

You're going to be dressed as a super-old man director.

-How does that sound?

-Like heaps of fun.

If we want to pull this off, we've got so much to do so get buckled up.

Hey, Ninjas! Let's flow.

Our first stop is to change Jake

from his movie star looks to a grumpy old director.

So we're off to get a cool mask made. Oh, the theatre!

How I love her magical...

..magic.

-Justin!

-Scotty.

-Long time no see.

-It's been a while.

This is our Prank Patrol special effects extraordinaire, Justin Dix.

You do all sorts of stuff. What do you do again?

Everything for film and TV, like prosthetics

and creatures and props, and whatever you need.

On to pranking business, though. Jake, tell him what we're after.

I need you to turn this into a grumpy old theatre director

-to prank my friend Bryden.

-Yep.

Sounds like we need to do prosthetic make-up

so we'll have to take a cast of your face.

We'll make a plasticine mould, we'll do hair punching,

we'll do painting. I think that's the way to do it.

You have heaps to do. Why not get started? I'll take a power nap.

-No probs.

-Good luck.

-This way.

Making a mould of Jake's face is a pretty messy business.

Jake has to stay completely still while sticky goo is put on his face.

But it's not just one layer of sticky goo.

It's another, and another,

and another.

So many layers!

He's like an onion, except made of sticky goo.

Mm, sticky goo onion!

And now we wait for the sticky goo to dry.

Once this is done, we'll have a perfect mould of Jake's face.

A perfect mould for a perfect prank.

And finally, Jake is released.

I bet he's relieved to get all that off.

OK, we've got the mask that we've finished out of all the moulds.

This gets glued to your face. That's you under there.

We're going to glue that all on.

Once it's all glued on and blended in, we're going to add hair

and moustaches and beards, a wig, and that'll bring it to life.

Do you reckon Bryden will know that's you under there?

-Not a chance.

-How are you going to play your director?

He'll be really grumpy, but I think making him a bit nasty

will push Bryden over the edge.

This is all coming together rather nicely.

-Well, Dixy, thanks so much. We'll see you at prank time.

-Yep.

Do you know someone who thinks they're just so good-looking?

Well, why not give them a makeover they won't forget...

..with an instant makeover balloon?

Take one balloon and fill it with a handful of glitter.

Now blow it up carefully.

Make sure you put the other person between you and the balloon.

And then...

Pop! Voila!

Instant makeover.

One good thing about glitter -

that stuff will stick to you for the rest of the day.

Oh, and by the way -

if you don't have a balloon, don't worry.

Umbrellas work even better.

Our Prank Patrol with Jake is out to prank his mate Bryden

and get him to think he's auditioning for a play

with a really strange director. If Jake pulls this off,

he'll have Bryden dancing to one very funny tune.

All right, funny man, come on.

OK, in your prank we need Bryden to look as ridiculous as possible.

I've brought us to this costume shop and we need to pick out

the silliest costumes for him to wear in the audition in the prank.

You're not alone on this.

One of my great friends is coming to help you out.

Dr Blush, who specialises in Embarrass-O-logy,

has brought his Embarrass-O-Meter to help you out.

-Dr Blush, Jake. Jake, Dr Blush.

-Jake.

Let's get this started. What have you got, Jake?

Well, I think this one would look ridiculous.

Ha ha! Wow. Dr Blush? Do your thing.

Well, there's definitely an increased heart rate,

and there are some beads of sweat.

Excuse me. Allow me to check my Embarrass-O-Meter.

That is an embarrassing costume.

Jake, look at you go! One down.

If you guys excuse me, I'm seeing something very interesting.

Pick out another costume, I'll be back in a second.

Dr Blush, this one would look good too.

OK.

That's definitely a classic embarrassing costume.

SCOTTY LAUGHS

Oh, how embarrassing is that? Look at those two there!

Nice job, Jake. That is brilliant.

So embarrassing for you two.

-Hey, Blushy, thank you so much once again.

-Any time, Scotty.

Embarrassing much?

Check out what I found. The old times is so rad.

Look at this - 17th century. This is so today.

Everyone will be wearing this in six months. Look at me.

-We've got to go to the next location.

-No.

-What?

-You're not going out dressed like that.

I've got no other options. Do you know how long it'll take

to get out of this costume?

Well, maybe the Ninjas could move it along. Ninjas!

Wow, record time. Thanks a lot, Ninjas. We've got to go.

Come on, let's... What?

-You've got, um...

-What are you talking...?

Oh! Wh...?

Argh! Ninjas!

NINJAS GIGGLE

BREAKING GLASS

NINJAS LAUGH 'Ooh, blimey!'

BREAKING GLASS

BREAKING GLASS 'Mamma mia!'

BREAKING GLASS

BREAKING GLASS 'Ooh!'

BREAKING GLASS 'Hmm.'

BREAKING GLASS 'You crazy!'

BREAKING GLASS

Our latest Prank Patrol member Jake is out to prank his best mate Bryden

and get him to believe that he's auditioning for a play

with an experimental and temperamental director.

But when it's prank time, will Bryden eat it all up,

or will he see a familiar face behind the mask?

OK, comedy boy. It's time to call Bryden

and invite him to our audition where you're the director.

So we've sent him this really silly script.

He'll have to learn it off by heart and perform it in front of you.

Aren't we nice?

-PHONE RINGS

-'Hi, Jake.'

Hey, Bryden, how's it going?

'Yeah, good.'

I just got a call about an open audition.

They wanted some other kids to audition

-and I told them about you. They said you'd be perfect.

-'Oh, thanks, man.'

And the director's a really, really good guy.

-Oh, awesome.

-(This could be your big break, man.)

This could be your big break, man. OK.

I'm going through a tunn... Br... Going in tunnel... Bye.

Oh, you are a natural!

It's D-Day and Jake transforms

from a 15-year-old boy to our 50-year-old director.

SCOTTY LAUGHS

Are you kidding me, Jake? You look fantastic.

A little old and ugly, but you're coming together really nicely.

You look so good for the prank. I thought while I've got you here,

I'd just introduce you to your assistant.

-Hiya, Jake.

-This is Rose.

-How are you?

-Played by Marnie, Prank Patrol actor.

As a director, you're going to be very mean and nasty to Marnie.

-Can you handle that, Marnie?

-Look, I think I can handle it for today.

-There's a 15-year-old under that face.

-I know!

-Best of luck. See you at the theatre.

-See you, Jake.

-See you.

It's time for Jake to face off with Bryden, Prank Patrol style.

Young lad!

What are you doing on my stage?

Mate, I'm waiting for my friend Jake. He's meant to be rocking up.

-Jake, look at you!

-Do you like it?

That is fantastic.

You scrub up pretty well, you know? Old man director you are.

Because you're the director, I'll give you the honours.

So take it away, director Jake!

This is your director.

I will say this once and I expect it to be heard.

Release the Ninjas!

The blueprint for Jake's prank is a stage set for an audition...

NINJA GIGGLES

..clumsy director's assistant, some tasty costume changes

and, of course, one prankster covered in prosthetics.

Hey, Ninjas, it's time to raise the curtain!

Yee-ha!

What I most enjoyed about the build-up to the prank

was getting the mould done.

It was a weird experience but really cool.

I don't think Bryden will be suspicious about the prank.

He's a really gullible guy.

Bryden, get ready, cos you're going to get pranked.

EVIL CACKLING

Are we going to start this prank or what?

Bryden arrives, ready for his big-time audition.

Oh, hi. Hi.

-My name is Rose.

-I'm Bryden.

-Hi, Bryden.

I'm Mr Wepner's assistant. Mr Wepner is the director, so if you want to...

What I might do... He's running a tiny bit late,

-so I might just set up with you...

-OK.

..just the bits and pieces of the audition.

But first, we are recording the audition,

-so when we look back for casting...

-Sure.

-..we know who's who.

It's pretty standard these days.

-I'll just get a microphone on you. OK?

-That's fine.

-So have you had a lot of auditions?

-Not really.

-Are you nervous?

-Don't be. Don't be.

-Whatever happens happens.

-So you've never met Mr Wepner before?

-No.

-Right, OK.

He is a sensational director, quite well-known

-and very successful overseas.

-OK.

He can be a little unusual sometimes.

He comes from a very experimental background,

so he generally likes to really play with the script

and it might seem a little odd at the beginning,

but then all I'd say is don't hold back.

Yeah, Bryden, don't hold back cos Jake certainly won't.

-No, it sounds fun.

-It is. You'll probably have a really good time.

OK, thank you very much.

COUGHING Oh, look. This is him.

OK, phew! First step done.

Bryden has no idea that he's looking right at his mate Jake.

-Mr Wepner, this is Bryden and he's auditioning for the role...

-OK.

-(GRUFF VOICE) Hello, Brandon.

-Hey.

-Did you get my coffee, Rose?

Yes, yes. That's it just there.

Now, we've disguised Jake's 15-year-old voice with an effect,

so Bryden can't recognise it.

That's disgusting! It's muck!

Go, Jake! Don't hold back now.

I ask for five sugars. You give me three!

Someone's throwing a tantrum!

I think Bryden's starting to think

that this might have been a bad idea.

-Shall we have a look at the scene?

-Yes.

-Yes, sure.

-You know your lines?

-Mr Wepner, would you like me to read with Bryden today?

-Yes!

Anyway, let's get this fake audition started.

Thank you for auditioning for my new play Lollipop Moon.

-It's a pleasure.

-And please, get into it. Action!

Sure.

-What are you doing?

-Looking at the moon.

It looks different tonight.

-Nice acting, Bryden.

-It looks like a giant lollipop, without a stick.

-No.

-No.

-Like a giant lollipop in the sky.

-Nope.

Uh-oh. Sounds like someone's not happy.

Sweat it, Bryden, sweat it!

Wasn't there once a band called Rock Lollipop?

-JAKE SNORTS

-And when director Jake's not happy,

he grunts like a horse!

-JAKE GRUNTS

-I'm not sure.

What I am sure of is a rock lollipop would break your teeth.

Keep it up, Bryden.

Maybe you're right.

Lollipops, though, are delicious.

OK.

-Rose?

-Yes, yes?

-Show Bryden the movements.

Do the scene again, just copy exactly what Rose does.

Action!

Um...go?

-GO!

-So...

Just copy her, Bryden. Do the lines, say the lines, just copy!

It looks different tonight.

-How so?

-Just brilliant, Bryden.

-It looks like a giant lollipop.

-More movement! More movement.

-Like a giant lollipop in the sky.

-Less movement!

So it would be a rock lollipop.

More movement from Bryden.

And less from Rose. Go!

-Rock lollipop.

-More arms from Bryden.

Come on, Bryden, get those arms flapping even higher.

-What do you suppose the moon's thinking?

-OK, cut!

I'd like to add some costume.

Now, this is where all the fun begins. Mwah ha ha!

Rose, find a costume for Bryden.

-Yeah.

-Um, this is all I could wrangle.

We don't have much. The other production's got most of it.

Bryden, I am sorry, but...

-Oh, that's fine.

-Just slip it on.

-Yeah.

He's taking this very professionally.

-Question - what does this have to do with anything?

-Very good point.

He likes looking at people in costume on stage, so this is A costume,

-but you're looking... You're doing a good job.

-Thanks.

-Just... OK, just try to feel comfortable.

-Um! Um!

WHAT is he wearing?

Well...

It's a hotdog. It was... All the other costumes are taken,

-so we really...

-I can't see his face.

Well, it's the best thing that we had available.

Do you want me to check for something...?

-Check for another one!

-OK. Staging!

Just wait till you see what we've got in store for you, Bryden.

Voila!

From hotdog to taco just like that!

I'm sorry, this is... Er...

Oh, magnificent!

-The taco!

-I agree.

Magnificent. Always gives a sense of character.

-Thank you.

-Yes.

Now, I need you to dance like a taco on a beautiful spring day.

Mr Wepner, I really don't think that that...

-Rose...

-No, listen to him.

-That's better.

-I trust him.

-I will need music. Music!

-Do tacos dance?

Oh, they sure do!

OK. Do you want this role or not?

-Oh, yes.

-Um...

-Music!

And dance! And you must dance too. Dance! Dance together.

Dance around each other. Action!

The taco never danced so fine!

-Lines!

-What are you doing?

-Looking at the moon.

-It looks different tonight.

-How so?

-It looks like a giant lollipop without a stick.

-Ha-ha!

Just brilliant, Bryden.

-Bring out the painter!

-Sorry?

-Dance around him!

-But he's painting.

Dance! Painter, come here. Dance around the painter.

Um, that'd be yours truly.

And last time I checked, this wasn't part of the prank.

-Put the bucket on his head!

-What?

From bad to worse.

Just do it. Put the bucket on his head!

-I am so sorry.

-Dance!

-I am so...

-Dance!

'I look utterly ridiculous.'

-Are you...?

-Lines! And dance!

Let's just dance around him. Just, like...

Do your lines as well.

-Action!

-What are you doing?

-Looking at the moon.

-It looks different tonight.

-How so?

-'One dizzy taco!'

Marvellous. Cut!

-Go back to painting.

-Mr Wepner.

Mr Wepner, please. You're making us both dance around

-like ridiculous twits.

-Rose, thank you, be quiet.

-'Uh-oh.'

-You're fired!

-What?

-Just go.

-Mr Wepner, please.

-Go!

-No, I...

Please.

'Exit stage left.'

-Bye.

-I'm sorry, um...

-Yeah, all the best.

-Thanks.

'All up to you now, Bryden.'

So, Bryden, this is an integral part of the play.

-Yeah, sure.

-It cost a fortune to get made, it is my vision.

So I'd like to see how you interact with it.

'Did he say interact with a plaster moon?'

-I'm not sure.

-Keep reaching and move back.

A rock of lollipop would break your teeth.

'Bryden, what on earth did you do?!'

Oh.

'Is that all the taco has got to say?

'That was a really expensive plaster, Bryden.'

All right, it's over!

-'OK, time to let this taco off the hook.'

-OK, Bryden.

Yep.

Looks like we can't do the play at all.

-And something I need to say to you face-to-face.

-Yeah?

It's Jake. You've been Pranked by Prank Patrol.

-BRYDEN LAUGHS

-Yes!

You have just been Pranked by Prank Patrol!

-Bryden!

-Thanks, man.

-What did you think was going on?

That was great. I didn't see that coming.

-Jake's make-up was just really believable and...

-Action.

-Yeah,

I got convinced that he was the director.

More movement, Bryden.

He spent four hours in make-up this morning looking like this!

That is a great effort, I'm sorry.

-I can't believe you didn't pick him.

-No, I did not see it in him.

When Bryden walked in, I got pretty nervous.

I thought he knew it was me.

Just copy her, Bryden!

-OK, when Mr Wepner fired his assistant...

-You're fired!

..I felt bad but I just wanted to get into the play,

-so I just kept going.

-Just go!

-Please.

-Go!

-No...

I do not think Bryden has the guts to get me back.

I'd like to see him try though.

Mission accomplished. Round of applause, everyone! Woo!
