Review of Punk'd

Punk'd (2003–2015)
Not Very Funny...Not Very Original

I did not find the practical jokes very funny nor very original. It appears that the show has a big budget for the set-ups, but no original thoughts for the set-ups. Kory Bassett does a good job as the security guard and the obnoxious kid interviews are mildly entertaining.

I don't find Ashton Kutcher funny. I find him annoying and obnoxious. The set-up with Britney Spears shows Kutcher having a "fake" temper tantrum. Is this funny watching someone obnoxious have a temper tantrum like a spoiled baby and treat his "friends" like crap?

Also, I thought the gimmick was to set up celebrities. What's the deal placing an ad in the newspaper and picking on people trying to get a job as Kutcher's assistant. Not very funny.

If you like mean humour, try "Scare Tactics". It's mean, but you do find yourself unable to control your laughter. If you want to listen to an obnoxious punk Kutcher and watch unfunny setups, watch Punk'd.
