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,
I find it humorous that a lot of people think this is some kind of great new hip show. Sorry kids, but this same thing was done 20 years ago by a bunch of old guys, Dick Clark and Ed McMahon. It is the same damn thing. And though I don't know for sure, I am guessing the Bloopers and Practical Jokes wasn't the first to do this sort of thing either.
It was tolerable in the 80s because it was the only show doing that sort of thing. Now it is just sad. People have lost their senses of humor. Comedy is no longer about laughing with someone. It is laughing at them. It is a pretty sad commentary that some people actually think other people's embarrassment is funny.
It is not. And neither is this show. But I guess Ashton Kutcher needs to strike now while the iron is hot. I don't look for much of a post That '70s Show career for him. Thanks MTV. You've given us all another reason to laugh at the joke that was once a decent channel.

... 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?

Bravo to Ashton Kutcnher for making "punk'd" a household name now and adding a semi-celeb version of Candid Camera. However, Punk'd is fun to watch when you are home bored and want something interesting to watch. It's not for people who want to be shocked and amazed and on the edge of your seat type action. It's predictable and not as edgy as it's protégé Candid Camera, but entertaining none-the-less. I think it would be better if some A-list celebs were punk'd like Brad Pitt, Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, etc. Until then, it'll just be another MTV show that people watch when bored. It's mainly B-list celebs that are punk'd on here.
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.
