On April 10, 2024,O.J.
- As the fifth installment ofO.J.
Made in Americareminded us, O.J.
Simpson filmed a reality television show back in 2006, calledJuiced.
Ostensibly its a hidden-camera prank show in the style ofPunkdwith O.J.
Simpson as the prankmaster general.
plays himself, sometimes he plays a version of himself, and more rarely, he plays a character.
The pranks are often so ill-conceived that when O.J.
utters the shows tag line, Youve been juiced!
its unclear, what, in fact, has just happened.
Juicedis closer to an anthropological artifact than it is a coherent TV show a sizzle reel turned fever dream.
Simpson is a willing participant.
Take a music video at the end (pictured above) where O.J.
Simpson raps Get Juiced dressed up as a pimp surrounded by half-naked women.
The interstitial clips are sequences of near-naked or topless women caressing themselves to a soft-core soundtrack.
is with them, sometimes hes not.
Sometimes hes accompanied by a little person.
Here are ten other instances:
A homeless O.J.
sells bags of oranges for $2.
In this one, you just see O.J., apparently homeless, selling oranges.
He doesnt even get to utter his tag line, Youve been juiced!
because people are trying to get away from him.
pretends to cuckold this guy.
In this case, his girlfriend is supposedly cheating on him with O.J.
This is the moment he understands whats happening.
as an old white man (or the clown fromIt).
Simpson made up to look like an old white man.
As with most of the other pranks, there is no follow-through.
A topless woman jumps on a trampoline.
Its unclear what the premise of this prank is.
Theres a real-estate agent showing a house to unsuspecting buyers.
She pranks them by breaking things and blaming them.
Then another person, supposedly the owner, but not O.J.
Simpson, gets mad at the buyers.
Its unclear why O.J.
is there: Is he one of the owners?
And amid all of these questions, there is a topless woman bouncing on a trampoline outside.
O.J.s interactions with women throughoutJuicedare the most uncomfortable moments, and this exchange is the worst.
She was there to audition to sing backup for a song that O.J.
was apparently recording, only to have O.J.
ask her out to a concert.
Heres the full exchange:
- O.J.
Whats your name?Kimmy: Kimmy.O.J.
Weve got a good concert in town here tonight.Kimmy: Are you serious?O.J.
Do you like Britney Spears?Kimmy: Shes … yeah, shes cool.
What are you doing tonight?
Want to go to the concert?Kimmy: [nervous laughter] With who?
- Like a whole bunch of people?O.J.
Maybe, maybe not.Kimmy: [nervous laughter]O.J.
Whats wrong with me?
Is it my teeth?Kimmy: No, not at all.
- I like parties, I like clubs and stuff.O.J.
Well, we got backstage passes.Kimmy: Oh, are you serious?
- If I can bring a friend of mine.O.J.
Guy friend?Kimmy: Huh?O.J.
Guy friend?Kimmy: No.
Well, that might be better.
For me.Kimmy: [nervous laughter]
O.J.
is a homeless person washing car windows.
Simpson washing their car.
Once they realize theyve been juiced, they lighten up.
is dressed as Elvis surrounded by strippers.
Do you feel drunk yet?
signs a white Bronco with a bullet hole in it.
In this bit, O.J.
Rather than get upset about the fact that the producers are bringing up his past, O.J.
is in his element trying to get people to consider the Bronco.
One of his big selling points: It has escapability, thats the main thing.
I know it, he tells one prospective buyer.
Heres some random homophobia.
The only context I can give you for this is that O.J.
Simpson starts singing Theyre homosexuals over and over again to these two men.
This guys anguish is all of us.
This man is one of the prank victims.
In the setup, O.J.
The man has clearly had a long night and is trying very hard to be reasonable.
He asks for his money back because another delivery person has arrived with the right order.
tells him that he needs the pizza back.
The man returns it to him, only to have O.J.
drop it on the ground and blame him.
This man is tired.
He has been working all night, or possibly watching this DVD, and he has had it.
I feel you, man.
