MTV Punk'd - The Complete First Season Reviews
I Got Punk'd for buying this DVD set!
Okay, okay, not really. I would never in a million years buy this DVD set. I already saw it on MTV, thank GAWD!, and would never buy it. Here's why!
First of all the premise. If you analyze other Hidden Camera shows, the sucess factor is based on, not limiting yourself to your "marks." That is, this show "punk's" famous people. Well, that is limiting yourself from the start.
Now, what happens if the taped segment isn't funny? Well, if you're Jamie Kennedy, you turn to another "mark" and tape another segment. You do this 3 or 4 times (or more, I suppose) until you get the superfunny segment.
Well, herein lies the problem with Punk'd. Since they only "fool" famous people, they are limited to that once (or twice) that they get a believeable take. And, as someone like me knows, (a long time fan of these "prank, hidden camera/microphone/video camera shows) successful segments don't necessarily happen the first take.
That's why shows like Jamie Kennedy, and other "Candid Camera" segments are successful, and why Punk'd isn't. The other shows have the luxury of depending on more segments to capture a successful and FUNNY segment. Punk'd is not successful, and NOT funny! Anyone who thinks it is, is falling on the already established liking of Ashton Kutcher, the famous people, MTV, or have never been exposed to a funny program, such as Jamie Kennedy.
A typical segment shows Ashton explaining, laughing, about the segment, in a fashion of somebody who is probably enjoying it, more than his audience. You know the type. Somebody who laughs half-way through telling you a joke? You don't laugh, and wonder why you are even listening? Same thing for this show. The audience is wondering when they will laugh as hard as the host.
Reading the other reviews, I was not surprised to see so many negative reviews. This show is not funny, and very un-deserving of even a second season. Please do not renew or even show re-runs of this show, MTV. A real stinker. Two "W's" down!
I really do not know why you would buy this....
Not just because the jokes are completely stupid, but because I hate, hate, hate, Ashton Kutcher. I mean really, all those girls who say, "It's like thinking my brother is hot!" Come on, even that guy doesn't need lines like that.
Not to mention That 70's show is complete crap, It had its ten minutes of fame and now its time to bring them to the year 2005. I curse the day they came up with the idea for that show.
As for the CD set, I really shouldn't complain, after all, I wasn't stupid enough to buy it, unlike the millions of clueless pawns who worship the ground that dude walks on.
i saw some episodes of punked and those celebrities are dumb enough to believe that crap? When I'm dictator of the world I wont fall for that sh*t, thats guarandamnteed!
[P.S. Random personal thought] Basketball sucks!!!!!
