Punk'd

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.

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.

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?
