Feminist Pranks? Intention Versus Impact


Listen Later

On episode 301 Lottie and Nick do a deep dive into a prank gone wrong from The Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers in collaboration with Clementine Ford, Antoinette Lattouf and Yumi Stynes. We discuss the politics of pranking and comedy, focusing on intention versus impact and call in versus call out culture. We also reflect on some of the prank-like things we’ve done on this podcast and similarities with the Jokers/feminist panel prank.
