does anyone think Punk'd on MTV is funny?

[k_jerome]

i think it sucks.

1. Welcome to DU!

I think Punk'd is mean-spirited. :thumbsdown:

[k_jerome]

3. the pranks aren't even funny.

at least Jackass makes me laugh.

[Heidi]

4. Those pranks seem intentionally designed

to make Ashton Kutcher look clever and his "friends" look foolish. Nah, not funny at all. :thumbsdown:

The Jackass guys, drunken and adled as many of them were, at least seemed genuine. :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

9. TheJackass guys were indeed genuine...

It all dates back to a skateboard video put out by Toy Machine skateboards in the mid-to-late '90s called "Welcome to Hell". That's where they originally started displaying their jackassery. It eventually evolved into the CKY video series, then into Jackass.

2. Dupe. (self-delete)

[Hissyspit]

5. No. Didn't like "Candid Camera" either. n/t

[Jamastiene]

6. What I hate most is that they use the word "punk" in such a

preppy cruel and shitty way. I despise that show. I'll take my punk, real, thank you very much. No little sniveling little prep like Ashton Kooky-cher, needs try to take over that name in such a hideous fashion, imho.

[k_jerome]

7. how forced does his wiseass dialogue sound...

it is painful to watch. it is real funny to make some celebrity think they have destroyed xmas for a bunch of poor kids. a-ha.

[Skittles]

8. it did not amuse me

I'd say it is more mean-spirited than humorous

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

10. Can't stand it & I agree with what Jamastiene said.

[bridgit]

11. i vote 'sucks'...

welcome to du, k_jerome :hi: :kick:

[against all enemies]

12. I love the one when they got Ashton to marry the old lady. When he

finds out he was punked he's going to be so pissed off.

[robbedvoter]

20. I'm waiting for him to get replaced with a newer model.

THAT's when I'll actually have a good laugh.

[graywarrior]

13. It's a bad car crash.

I'd like to punk Ashton into the middle of next week.

[CanuckAmok]

14. I like the one where he cut off Nicole Richie's head and...

...kicked it around 5th Avenue like a soccer ball.

Oh, no, wait... I dreamed that. But I still think it would be funny.

[Greyhound]

15. I've never seen that guy do anything that didn't suck. Even That 70's Show

would improve with his absence.

[robbedvoter]

16. Only watched once and read comments on it on boards

Apparently, one actress - Eliza Dushku was framed for theft and someone else - forgot who - was on a plane where they made believe was falling apart.
Geez, the wit of it!
But worst of all were the arguments defending the show "they are celebrities, and overpaid anyway" for one. So, I guess Ashton bravely stands for the little man and restores social justice by humiliating those we envy....

17. I think they are very mean spirited and not funny at all.

Just yesterday, I was flipping the channel and there was one about a supposedly blind lady, and some kid running into her, and her dog running away, etc. Now, I never finished watching it, so I don't know what happened in the end, but what exactly is so funny about a blind woman being in trouble?

18. "Punk'd" is about as funny as lung cancer.

Seeing Ashton Kutcher play practical jokes on his show biz friends has zero entertainment value whatsoever. "Punk'd" is nothing more than a vanity ego project for Ashton Kutcher.

[robbedvoter]

19. I'd say, more hemorroids or halitosis than lung cancer.

Just to remember how inconsequetial it is.
