Punk'd - Series Thread
 

The show looks like it could be quite hilarious. It's on MTV right now. Ashton Kutcher (sorry for butchering the name) is playing pranks on celebrities. Should be funny.

Justin Timberlake looked like he was gonna cry rotfl

That was one of the most satisfying things i've ever seen on TV. Just to see him call his mom and say "Mom, you have to get down here right away" almost crying. Its awesome watching stuck up celebrities get nailed.

I used to hate Ashton, but now he's my idol.

Hell, he probably did cry, but it was probably edited out. I laughed my ass off when he called his mom!!!!

Is Ashton the regular host of this show?

The little kid thing is lame. Stick with the pranks and this show is a hit in my eyes.

He said its his show. MTV asked him to create a show.

hahahha, just saw the previews for the season. The pranks look awesome.

The Gods have finally given me something to watch on Monday nights..whoo hoo!

This show is great. I can only hope they film enough of these pranks before the show gets big and the celebrities start catching on.

It looks as if all the pranks for this season are already filmed, judging from the previews they had at the end of the show.

Right, though as soon as Justin saw Ashton, he immediately knew what was up and even made a reference to how he'd hoped Ashton wouldn't try to pull something over on him.

I went in with pretty low expectations, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. I actually think this'll sneak into my weekly rotation, and this is from someone who tends to avoid watching television whenever possible.

seriously, i finally ahve something to watch on monday nights now. I thought it was pretty funny. the red carpet with the kid wasn't that great, nothing beats the interviews from Triumph the dog on conan

I found it funny when Tori Amos was trying to tell the kid that she's not Tori Spelling. The rest of the bit was sort of boring.

I wanted Justin Timberlake to cry. That was great.

I enjoyed myself, and this was suprisingly good.

That little kid was hillarious

To Lifehouse - What does the O, in O-town stand for?

rotfl

Although it's an old bit, when they said "We're 'Lifehouse' not 'O-Town'." and the kid turns to the camera doing the "cut it" gesture, I burst out laughing. The kid had great timing. But I do agree that The Man Show's kid bit is funnier and Triumph's red carpet bit is funnier.

When will this air again? I only caught the previews for the coming attractions.

Isn't this the show that's getting sued for the "dead body in the hotel room" prank?

Here's the link to the re-air dates/times

It's MTV so just check your listings it should be on everyother day. I think it is the same show as the hotel room prank. Ashton Kutcher was the star of the other show too but I think for PR reasons they just changed the name of it.

No, thats Shannon Doherty (90210/Charmed) prank show that will be airing on the Sci-Fi Channel soon.

Awesome! Eliza next week!


LB...

No that sci-fi channel show is being sued for a stunt involving aliens. A while before, there was some news saying that a show hosted by Ashton Kutcher was sued because of a stunt where a couple found a dead body in their hotel room.

I guess it never aired.

Rough days in the TV world when we get confused over what reality show is being sued for which stunt.

That was funny as hell! rotfl

Cry me a river indeed!

LOL I caught this at 1am. That Muniz kid droppin' the f-bomb over and over again was hilarious to me at least.

And to see Justin Timberlake freak out lol lol lol especially when that dude starting naming the gazillion of cars Timberlake had and then stepped on that guitar.

And the little kid........ rotfl...... Tori Amos was trying to be so nice to him heh...... Christina asking him if he wanted to get diRRty....... lol

Justin Cries Like A River

CRY BABY JUSTIN

Singer Justin Timberlake just cannot stop showing his sensitive side.


After baring his emotions over his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Brittany Spears in his latest song, Cry Me A River, he has now been caught on camera bursting into tears.

According to the Daily Star, a prank on a new series on the American version of MTV caused the 22-year-old hearthrob to break down and call his mum for help.

Actors posing as US tax enforcers called on Justin's new £3.5m mansion in Los Angeles.

They convinced him he owed almost £600,000 in tax and that they were there to seize his possessions and sell them on to cover the debt.

The NSYNC star was so shocked, he started crying and shouted at the men, before crumpling in a heap on his doorstep.

For 20 minutes the star was left wondering if he would ever see his possessions again - until the presenter of the Punk'd show turned up.

As soon as Justin saw Ashton Kutcher, the penny dropped, the tears dried up and he finally saw the funny side.

Moving to TV forum......

I saw it and he did not cry, but it was soooooo funny to see the looks on his face.

:lol:

I hate him.

Real men don't cry.

What a nancy boy.

Dave

ouch.

I enjoyed it, but I have to reluctantly give credit to both Muniz and Timberlake. Frankie was quite calm for most of the time. Sure, I imagine he was in a bit of shock, but even when he was angry, it was "I'm a celebrity" angry. And considering what they did to Timberlake, he was remarkably good-natured when he saw Ashton show up and realized it was a prank. I expected him to get all pissy and stuff, but he took it like a man (a crying man, but still ...).

The kid was good too. Not nearly as funny as the Man Show Boy, but still pretty entertaining.

das

Absolutely hilarious. And yes, both Frankie and Justin were really good sports about it all. It was a good contrast between a simple prank (stealing a car) to a really complicated one (towing Justin's SUVs, boarding up his house, etc). That prank was planned out and executed so well; they really put a lot of time and money into it. When they had the production/prop designer on explaining all the stuff they made for that stunt I was like ohh man, he's gonna get it! :D

Can't wait to see next week's show!

-BT

stupid question: I caught a bit of Jackass after Punk'd and saw Brad Pitt doing the night gorilla thing with the Jackass crew. Does he still do stuff with them from time to time?

You finally have something to watch on Monday nights now?? MTV cancelled the BEST SHOW ON TV, Clone High USA, to put Punk'd in its timeslot! I thought this show was just another MTV cheaply-made, cashing-in-on-a-trend reality show. I miss Clone High on Mondays.

BT, now that was the only "stunt" Brad Pitt did with Jackass crew.

The new episode of punk'd is on MOnday night at 10:30pm

Punk'd - 03/24/03
 

Better than last weeks episode IMO. I still think the name of the show, not to mention the word "Punk'd" is extremely lame, but that won't stop me from watching.

The Eliza prank was great. I have no idea how these guys can keep a straight face while they're doing these. That was so great how she immediately tried to shift the blame to those other guys. Talk about a rat, she would never last in the mob.

The Mandy prank priceless. Dax amazes me with the range of characters he plays. His "trailer-trash redneck" was incredibly accurate. I lived in Nebraska for ten years and I know so many of those guys it's not even funny. I love the picture of the desert they put on the wall to make the room look bigger.

The Boxing prank had SO MUCH potential, but I feel like they cut it too short. My first problem with it was that I had no idea who the "mark" was, so I really didn't care if he got "Punk'd" or not. My second problem was, HE WAS READY TO FIGHT OSCAR WITHOUT GLOVES and they stopped it!!! NOOOO!!!!!!!
If you gave me a pad, pen and an afternoon, I could have come up with a much better pay off for the boxing prank. Oh well, I still think it was better than the "Man Show Boy" rip off we got last week.

Next week's episode looks fantastic. MORE DAX!!

more dax? hes great but hes the main character in every prank. how much more do you want?

great show btw. i love seeing celebrities at their worst swearing n ****. i thought last weeks was better (justin t and frankie m) though.

Can you explain what happend in the Eliza prank? I missed the episode.
