Howie Do It

This show is awful, I don't know if it has been cancelled but I have not seen it on television for a while (thank goodness!) so I hope that it has had the plug mercifully pulled and we will never have to expose our eyes to this pathetic excuse for a TV show ever, ever again. If this is "Howie Does It" I can't see why he can even leave his house without hired bodyguards because Howie whats his name is so unfunny and terrible it makes me want to vomit all over my TV. The hacky pranks they pull on people are even less funny than in Candid Camera reruns from the 1960s or whatever if you are going to rip off Candid Camera ideas at least make them funnier than they used to be! This show is just awful, the worst U.S. made comedy I have seen in years and I would say maybe the worst comedy show ever if it wasn't for almost every show produced on that constant waste of time network The Comedy Network in Canada.

I had the displeasure of being in the audience for this show, basically, a ripoff of Candid Camera where real life people would be set up by Howie and, in this case, other family members.

I won't bore you with the details but of the 4 separate families we had to sit through 3 misfired, in other words the victim, instead of getting upset and crazy which seemed to be the point, kept their composure and decided as a family they would work through it. Big credit to the victims, no credit for idiot Howie.

The final target was so upset she started crying and became so hysterical she had to be seen to by the set medic. Big laughs there.

Mandel has never been much of a talent and this pathetic, badly written outing shows how only 'Canadian content' rules set down by the CRTC keeps losers like this on the air.

Avoid at all costs!!

Howie Do It is an awful, awful show. To put it quite simply, Howie Do It just stinks. I can't think of a worse hidden camera "Candid Camera" type show I've ever seen. Howie Do It is so bad it is easily worse than Punk'd, which I also hate.

Howie Mandel is a comedian who I don't think has been doing much for years. By that I mean he probably has been working as a stand up comic and making tons of money and is successful, I just mean I don't remember seeing him on TV for years, since I was a kid even. So all of a sudden to see him on Deal or No Deal and that he has this TV show I was surprised, he is much older now and shaves his head, maybe because he was older and going bald anyway or maybe going gray? Just a guess but based on how old he must be now that can't be too far off.

Nothing on this show is funny, it is just either unfunny and bad or trying to gross us out for no reason and again still not at all funny. Just a stinker.

Howie Do It is such a horrible show that I can only think that maybe, just maybe, the entire thing was just a really bad joke. Who on earth would put a show this bad on TV and actually expect people to watch it? I can't begin to say how awful this show was. Howie was a terrible host, and what was with him always wearing a stupid disguise (just a bad wig usually) and always calling himself Larry? The pranks were all really bad, what is the point of copying a successful old formula like Candid Camera and not even updating it to be better, or funny in today's world? This was a really bad show with really bad performances, bad hosting, and bad writing. Bad idea from the get go, all around terrible show.

This is quite the unremarkable show that is similar to Candid Camera, where host Howie Mandel makes practical jokes to other people while the camera is on. Unfortunately, this show does not match the humor and surprises as Candid Camera due to its mediocre jokes and boring concept.

Howie Mandel doesn't come across as the funny host he was supposed to be, instead, pulling off unfunny gags and lackluster execution that makes him come across as annoying sometimes.

That overzealous Ravidrums guy banging on the drums while Mandel is hosting, like an over-excited and drugged up kid, added to the annoyance and talent-less aspect of the show. He makes you want to grab his drumsticks and throw him off the stage.

It's just as well that this TV show didn't last long on the air. Howie doesn't do it as far as talent and entertainment in this show.

Grade F
