Punk'd

In this show Ashton Kutcher and his team of practical jokers screw some celebrities. Why not, but this show is not very funny, because these guys lose the point how to entertain the audience. Instead of pulling the people into clever-absurd situations their ideas are very plain (naked guy in a shop, security test, a guy smashing a fake one celebrities car with a baseball bat). Its boring, because these jokes are so simple that you always think youve already seen them on another practical joke test. The only exciting is how some of the victims react and so is this show more like a psychical stress test for stars than an entertaining show. Really on my nerve went the in-between comments of Ashton Kutcher, which showed that he has a very primitive sense of humor.

C'mon, guys-ya gotta know that it's all fixed!! You really think these celebrities are unaware of what's going on? If you ask me, most of these so called reality shows are staged, and this one definitely is. I saw a recent episode-the one with one of The Backstreet Boys and a girl named Trishell from MTV's Real World. They were trying to enter a security building, and the security guard kept harassing them-making them take off their shoes, raise their arms, scanning all between their legs-the Backstreet dude even pulled his pants down several times! Now, what celebrity do you know is going to allow themselves to be humiliated like that in public? They all have this-"Don't you know who the hell I am?!" attitude, so I just knew that this was all staged for the fun of MTV's gullible audience.

And, c'mon, even if it weren't staged, wouldn't you think that the celebrity would have at least HEARD of this show or SEEN it on television already?!!!

The only one who's PUNK'D is the audience.

Ashton Kutcher is a genius.The show is amazing and you enjoy it when you watch it. If you can punk celebrates and get away with it, you know it's going to be funny because watching your favorite celebrates make fools of themselves is entertaining. hey they are real people, who would know?!?! hey, who doesn't like to see Justin Timberlake ball his eyes out on national TV and have no idea what is going on? It's funny,it makes us see that they are real people and it makes you laugh. It's en-lighting from all of the other reality TV shows, (let's face it we can get sick and tired of watching American Idol) and it brings a whole new meaning to the word, i just got punk'd. So all you haters out there you need to lighten up, and enjoy good TV. So Ashton keep doing what you're doing.

I like hidden camera shows and "Punk'd" is really funny, but the host and creator -- Ashton Kutcher, a.k.a. Demi's Boyfriend -- is painfully unfunny.

He tries too hard, he interrupts pranks occasionally to talk to the camera and you feel like slapping him.

That said the pranks they pull on this show can be quite funny at times and it's interesting to see the stars' reactions. The episode with The Rock was great, and it's really fun when the stars overreact or embarrass themselves (the Tommy Lee car accident prank is the best).

I like "Punk'd" overall, I just wish Ashton Kutcher would calm down and get a new routine, because his current shtick is really unfunny - and, to be frank, obnoxious.

... back when it was called "Candid Camera," or "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes."

I suppose there's a lot of kids watching "Punk'd" who don't remember those older shows, so the whole concept is probably fresh to them. For me, though, a half-hour of Ashton Kutcher setting up people for pranks and then bragging out it gets really old. He reminds me of the kid who makes prank phone calls and brags about the next day at school. What fun.

Seriously, Kutcher -- you have a supporting role on a sitcom, made a few moderately successful films, you're dating Demi Moore... don't you think your fifteen minutes are almost up?
