What is your favorite PUNK'ing?
I know I'm not a member of the current MTV generation, because I'd never heard of half of the people getting PUNK'D.
My favorite is one of the earlier ones. The show descended on Justin Timberlake's house posing as the IRS and started to take everything. I really thought JT was going to cry, especially when they told him that his dogs were going to a shelter.
A more recent one was with some blond kid, Nick Carter I think is his name. He's riding in a limo which knocks over a row of Harleys. He was all "street" with another driver, with the "Chill Bro" and "Yo, Dawg" until the bikers came out. Scary looking dudes. He jumped back into the limo quick as a wink, and was definitely about to cry when Kutcher showed up. He was still shaking afterwards.

The Timberlake is the best one for me as well. Of course I haven't seen many episodes so I don't have a wide variety to choose from. Another I remember was Hillary Duff (I think) in an art gallery and a fire got started, setting off the sprinkers and ruining some guy's art.

My favorite is probably the one with The Rock. They actually blew up a trailer on the set of Be Cool which was impressive. But the best part was how The Rock almost tore this one guy's head off because he accused him of endangering a woman's life.
In fact, I remember Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin also nearly coming to blows when they were punk'd. These wrestlers need to remember they're not in the ring.

The episode with Austin involved a restaurant manager trying to get him to blame a busboy for stealing his phone. He wouldn't and said that that they should go look for it. I enjoyed it because they were trying to get him to call someone a thief and it blew up in their face when he reacted differently than they thought he would.

Don't you love people who go around telling people that they are idiots for liking something they don't? Here is a crazy idea and it will make your life much easier if you understand it. People have different preferences about things. And just because you don't like something and they do or vice versa doesn't make you better or smarter then them. It just means you are different and it is differences that make the world great. Maybe once you stop living with your parents and get out in the real world you will figure that out.
Oh and don't threadcrap it is really annoying.

I haven't seen this show in ages....but the one that stands out in my mind is the one where Taye Diggs goes to the Doctor to get clearance to leave the country to do a movie. He has a huge fear of needles and sure enough.. The "Doc" pulls out one huge sucker... this was after a series of outrageous questions. Hysterical.

actually i didn't say living in their parent's basement. I said living with their parents. Hoping that he is just some kid who will grow up and not be an ass. if it is an adult that lives on his own it makes it even more sad that he obviously has the mentality of a teenager.

I like the situations where the person getting punked either gets 'Really pissed' or start crying.
So for me, The Rock getting punked, about ready to deck one of the guys. Just great.

The funniest, to me, were those clips where Ashton was telling that "kid-interviewer" what questions to ask to the un-suspecting celebs on the red carpet.
Poor Denise Richards and Pauly Shore.

Frankie Muniz's car getting stolen was pretty good. Mainly because he was swearing and carrying on, sort of revealing his true self.
My least favorite Punk'ings are the ones who try to act tough and nonchalant afterwards, like Missy Elliot. Either laugh it off or tell them off, but the whole "whatever, I don't care" attitude makes bad tv.

I have a soft spot for the Mandy Moore one. They could've made a whole episode on that one bit alone -- there's a ton of cut footage on the DVD that's as funny as anything that made it into the episode.
