Britney Spears Punks Potential Bodyguards with Neil Patrick Harris & Joe Jonas, LOLs Abound

Neil Patrick Harris is hosting NBC’s Best Time Ever, a new live show that proves “anything can happen—and it can happen to you!”

…Especially if you’re a person applying for a job as Britney Spears’s new bodyguard during her Vegas residency.

In the above clip from Tuesday night’s episode, three burly-bodied men, who are really just trying to earn an honest living in today’s unpredictable economy, are duped by Spears and her behind-the-scenes henchmen—Harris and Harris’s “second-favorite Jonas,” Joe. Surprise! Spears has an earpiece in that’s controlling her every action, and there are cameras filming everything,

Spears is a good sport, per usual, though it’s a little far-fetched to think the dudes don’t realize they’re being played by the time she’s dancing around on stage with backup dancers, shouting at them to protect her while remaining “inconspicuous.” Or, when they’re forced to go on a hot-and-cold hunt with her around the arena for a potted cactus.

Regardless, it’s still rather amusing.
