OJ Simpson Once Did A NSFW Prank Video Called 'Juiced' And Someone Finally Posted It Online
(Warning: This video is super long and NSFW so click carefully)
A couple weeks back, NPR’s hit podcast This American Life profiled Juiced, a 2005 prank DVD/pay-per-view starring OJ Simpson doing Punk’d-style pranks with interstitials of him hanging out with naked strippers and doing a fake rap video:
According to Uproxx, as of last month there were only 100 copies of the DVD floating around so it’s something not a lot of people saw or even knew existed before the This American Life episode. In short, it’s an hour long prank video with lots of topless girls, OJ making some veiled murder jokes, playing characters ranging from himself as a homeless man to himself as a fast food employee, and he’s also an elderly white man at some point:
Vice did a piece on it last year from one of the guys in the NPR podcast who was an “accomplice” for OJ in the videos, in a Dax Shepard on Punk’d way, not an Al Cowlings in real life kind of way. Some of the stories from him on-set:
The would-be dancers were actually thrilled to meet OJ Simpson. It was great he got to show America his practical joking side.
“Why don’t you all dance around OJ?” the director instructed a group of excited girls. OJ attempted to be the lady’s man, adding: “This is not working out, but if you want to have dinner later, or…?”
Yes, OJ loves the ladies. Later, while wearing a disguise and pulling a prank in a tropical-fish store, he tried to be suave with a girl by asking, “If I were OJ, would you try to go out with me?”
The frightened girl replied, “I’m only 17.”
OJ coyly retorted, “If you were 18, I’d try and go out with you!”
And, even better, a quick anecdote from filming the strippers/rap video scene:
“Yo, coach, I’m a tiger on the loose. There’s no stopping the Juice,” rapped OJ with the gangsta rapping finesse of a fourth-rate Shaquille O’Neal. The only time I become nervous on the set of Juiced was when OJ’s girlfriend (a heavy job title in itself) started flirting with me. OJ kept looking over. I got nervous because I CLEARLY REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST GUY IN THE SAME SITUATION! By no means did I want to see OJ’s jealous side!
Poor OJ’s girlfriends, they must have had so many unreturned pairs of sunglasses before OJ went back to jail.
Anyway, I’m not sure who’s got an hour to spare on this besides me trying to distract myself from USC and Dallas’s seasons both ending in a 24 hour span but it’s actually pretty interesting to watch. If you’re going to watch one thing from the video, skip to 17:30 for a skit in which OJ goes to a real estate open house and there’s a topless woman on a trampoline that somehow leads to broken vases and a guy throwing up and then the people being pranked getting confused as to why OJ is there before he proudly declares “You’ve been Juiced!” I can only imagine it puts John Wayne Gacy’s Candid Camera host reel to shame.
