The Cunning Stunt Academy is a stunt school in Los Santos that only appears in TV advertisements in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

The advertisement says that the stunt school practices real and dangerous stunts, where the participants are generally harmed during the process, with little to no protective equipment in order to make the stunt. According to the same, this is an opportunity for bored and stupid people (hinting the fact that only the most capable are able to survive).

Known Courses

• Getting shot.
• Getting run over.
• Getting hit in the face with a baseball bat.
• Base jumping off a building on fire.
• Getting knifed in the back.

Trivia

• The name is a spoonerism. Switching around the C in cunning and St in stunt makes the phrase "The Stunning Cunt Academy." Another testament to Rockstar's humor.
• Nikki appears in the advertisement.
• The Vulkan - the forerunner of the Hydra, which returns in the Heists Update - can be seen in the Cunning Stunt Academy advertisement.

• The cars that appear at the end of the video are Dukes, which returns in the enhanced edition.
• The truck that appears in the part of "getting run over" was a 1st gen Tipper with a different grille, compared to the in-game version. However, it will turn into a Rubble when the person gets up after the truck ran over him.
