Punk'd

I believe that punk'd is a really good show, and that Ashton Kutcher has awesome ideas. The show itself isn't funny, but seeing the celebrities reaction to the pranks is classic. I mean, come on, is it not funny to see Justin Timberlake or Avril Lavign or any one of the rest of the celebrities be tortured? I doubt celebrities like the show, but it is a good show for the regular people who watch it & like it. If I had to rate this,I would rate it five stars. You get to see what happens to celebrities when they get annoyed, and boy do they get annoyed! Someone who wrote about Punk'd said that it's illegal to do what they do. No matter what people say, I like Ashton and I like the show.

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.

Do I ever miss Candid Camera. That show actually showed some imagination in regards to the pranks they pulled. Of course if I was 10 years or younger, I might find Punk'd a good show. But now that I think about, I would still have to pity myself.

Believe me, I am an immense fan of the practical joke. Having had many pulled on me as well as coming up with some good ones myself, so I can't understand how anyone can take the fine art of practical joking and reduce it to something so lame and pathetic. I think the makers of this show forgot that practical jokes are supposed to be funny and fun for all involved. Not just for themselves without including the audience or victims.

Hopefully with all this DNA and stem-cell research going on, someone will be able to bring Allen Funt back. Until then I can't stand watching this lame second-rate sitcom reject trying to mug it up for the camera when there is really nothing to mug about at all. Truly sad.

... 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?

This has to be one of the most funniest shows ever. It shows celebrities getting pranked on and embrassing them. In some cases u can even get a celebrity to show there true side. So I highly recomend this show,
