black-ish

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday,

and not just because it lets me show off

my killer decorating skills.

What? It doesn't look like a John Woo movie

when you decorate for Halloween?

Hmm. You must not be doing it right.

But what I love most about Halloween

is a Johnson family tradition I like to call

"pranking the living crap out of each other."

Guys, come here.

Come meet your new cousin, Colton.

Aunt Jill says be very careful

- when you hold him, all right? - So sweet.

You thought you killed the baby!

It's not real!

Bam! Oh, he kicked the baby!

But the kids also hold their own with the pranks,

especially Zoey.

Hey, Junior, there's a girl named Sophie calling you.

Sophie?

Sophie's calling me?

Whoa!

Sophie.

But when it comes to the most devilish pranks,

no one can stop me.

What is...

A bra?

That's why they call me "the prank king."

Trashy purple underwear?

What's going on?

Who's in there?

- Who is in there?! - What?

- Who's in the closet? - Nobody.

- Who's in the closet? - What closet?

You thought dad was blowing up your marriage.

I'm telling you.

This long-standing tradition really bonds us together...

At least, it does when Bow can take a freakin' joke.

Good going, you guys.

Black-ish - 01x06 "The Prank King"

Oh, look at that...

A fake spider in my night-guard case.

Aww.

The twins must have tried to prank me.

Stupid twins.

Oh, my God.

Huh?

- It's you. - What?

You're the stupid twins.

Come on, Bow.

Make an effort.

- Oh, that was my warm up. - Oh?

You just need to prepare

to be dethroned this year, prank king.

What? Oh. Oh, you...

- You really think you're gonna get me? - Yeah.

Huh. Your poker face gives away more

than an episode of "Oprah's favorite things."

I knew it!

Secret Oprah fan. Yes!

Yes, I am. I miss her every day.

Don't you love her?

Here's a tip from the prank king.

Okay. Fake spiders...

- Yes? - ... Bush league.

- Oh, come on. - You want to prank?

- Use real spiders. - What?

- Like that one. - What?

Oh!

Oh, hey, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe.

I was joking, all right?

- It's fake. - What?

But the superglue on that magazine?

Totally real.

What?

Dre, that is not funny.

- Dre! - Yes, it is!

Dre, I have surgery in the morning.

Well, I'm about to go to bed.

What?!

- Babe? - Hmm?

What was that?

I didn't hear anything.

You're so paranoid.

You always think you hear something, Dre.

No, no, babe. I definitely heard something.

- Hmm? - This could be it...

- The home invasion. - What?

Okay, babe, babe, babe, babe. You go and check.

- No! What? - Go check.

Dre, you go check.

Okay, you're right. You're right.

- I'll go check. I'll go check. - Okay.

All right, family room... clear.

- Patio... clear. - What?

Fridge... too clear.

- You got to shop. What? - Dre.

Why do you have a camera in the refrigerator?

To see what's in there to determine if I'm gonna go downstairs or not.

- You know, saves me a trip. - You are the laziest man I ever met.

What?

Are there any grapes in there?

- Uh, no. - Oh.

What?

Oh.

Hey, babies.

Diane had a nightmare and told me about it,

and now I'm more scared than she is.

Can we sleep in your room tonight?

Yeah, come on. Come on, come on.

Get in here. Just get up.

Get in here.

Ow.

This is nice. Mm-hmm.

What the...

We wet the bed.

You guys got pranked!

Boo-yah!

Unh-unh.

These are 1,200-thread-count sheets.

Family meeting! Now!

Let's go.

What does that mean?

Hey!

All right, now, as you all know,

pranking each other on Halloween

is a long and glorious Johnson family tradition.

We know, dad.

So why do we need to hear about it in the middle of the night?

Because the youngest members of our team are confused

as to what constitutes a prank.

We peed on daddy.

Again, not a prank.

Hey, now, I'm gonna need you guys to look to Zoey as your role model

'cause she is an evil genius.

I mean, Sophie really calling you?

Why would she even have your number, huh?

- Hey, but I... - Shut up!

Baby girl, I'm really excited

about what you have planned this year, all right?

Now, if you can somehow arrange it so he ends up publicly naked...

- Whoo! That's a prank. - I hate to break it to you,

but not really sure I'm gonna prank this year.

Not really feeling it anymore.

- Wow. - What do you mean?

What do you mean, you're not gonna prank this year?

Baby, you're the only one that inherited my pranking gene.

- Hey! - Hey.

Why don't you want to do it anymore, baby?

Yeah.

I don't know. It's just kind of lame.

I feel like I've outgrown it.

Oh. Okay.

Hilarious!

What, you're serious?

Babe, you don't outgrow pranking.

Bow, are you hearing this nonsense?

- I am, sweetheart. She's a teenager now. - No, no, no, no, no, no.

- These things are bound to happen. - Oh, not to me.

Yeah, dad. I'm 15.

I'm out.

Ohh.

Family meeting adjourned!

Kids...

- Don't look at me. - It's okay, sweetie.

- Don't look at your father. - No!

But she decided to bail on the family tradition

that we've worked years at building, man.

This is the kind of stuff that tears families apart.

The family that pranks together stays together.

Wait, Dre. I think it's "prays."

Uh, Kris, I think you work for me.

Oh, God!

It stings so bad!

Boo-to-the-ya!

You just got Josh'd!

Josh... not my favorite guy,

mostly because he's always asking me if I know Jay-Z.

But this... solid prank.

This is scalding hot coffee.

Burned twice.

Why is everyone standing around, not working?

I pranked Kris.

Made his pour scalding hot coffee all over his body.

Outstanding.

Hey, good one, Josh.

Oh, thanks, Dr. Driggity Dre.

That means a lot, especially coming from you.

Why is that?

Well, I know bros aren't exactly into pranks.

Bros tend to be a little touchy about being startled.

I think they're startled at the comfort level in which you use the word "bro."

But, hey, I love pranks, all right?

Everybody enjoys a good prank.

- Boom. - I am so not okay.

Oh, maybe you should get to the hospital. We'll roll calls when you get back.

Ow! All right, buddy?

- Hey, babe. - Hmm?

Big news. I found a way to save Halloween.

Ooh, that's great.
