Howie Do It

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.

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 am convinced that Howie Do It may in fact be the worst show ever made. I guess there would probably be worse shows like Turkish Batman or some other stuff, worse Canadian shows are out there, but considering the money this show obviously had and the production values being so high this has to be the worst show in this price range. The pranks were all ridiculously unfunny the talent was awful the host Howie Mandell was cringe inducing he was so awful and unfunny, I hated everything about this show. How do shows this bad even get put on TV can I apply and get my own show instead? Scare Tactics wasn't very good and it still looks like genius art next to this awful show.

This show was awful on every level you can think of. Howie Mandell is uncomfortable to watch, smiling through all the awful hidden camera pranks he presents on this show. The actors he uses are terrible, the pranks are lame and unfunny, and they people they prank don't give great reactions either. The only laughs I had were unintentional ones when Howie would wear really bad costumes to surprise people with who he really was and the people would be like "oh OK I guess I kind of recognize you from the eighties or whatever"......

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.
