I think they did similar already... have vague memory of someone pranking Kutcher and Kutcher gets all angry and wants to end the show and fire everyone... but actually Kutcher knew and was pranking them instead.
I recall seeing a few of them on the actual show. They tried to punk Bill Goldberg, but the stunt failed. Something about running over his parked motorcycle with a truck or something like that. I also recall them freely admitting that they'd failed to punk people and this was the third (or whatever) attempt. Some of the episodes were pretty funny.
Starting to recognize the crew reminds me of Impractical Jokers. After years of pranking in New York there could be absolutely no way that people would not recognize them.
victims of their own success, that's why they made the movie and game show on TBS, they know their time is basically over for the original format and that means it's time to capitalize on the fame.

I remember seeing an interview with Don Cheadle where he told a story about his kids planning to ambush George Clooney with waterguns, but he warned them, "He WILL get you back... and he won't care if you start crying." So the kids wisely abandoned the prank.
I remember watching Punk'd very skeptically, because at a certain point in almost every episode I wondered where's the security team, where's the cops, or how is nobody getting stomped right now? Also, how are they getting these clean, perfectly framed reaction shots from multiple angles without anyone noticing cameras, and how does nobody recognize these pranksters? Idk how many times my brother would mention that if something weird happened to him and he saw a person that looked like any of those punk'd actors, nobody would be able to convince him it was really happening lol
Even though he would switch out the actors every season or so Dax was so recognizable and good at what he does if I was an actor I would be looking out for them
There were soooo many weird camera angles and times when the celebrity would have no way of not seeing a camera, like walking/running directly at it on a sidewalk, yet would still act shocked when it was revealed they were Punk'd.
Andrew santino was a writer and actor on the show He says 65% is written and staged but the celebrity’s reaction was the only thing not scripted, the hardest part was getting the celeb to agree to sign the release forms
Of course its written and staged. But think about what yer saying... if the reaction is not scripted... then they dont know about the prank. So... understand the difference between whether its "staged" is usually to suggest the pranks are not actually pranks. And everything is set up... thats not true one iota
Anyone else notice that this video is the first 15 seconds of dialogue spread out for another 11 or so minutes?... no new info at all and not as fake as the title made it seem and as the intro said, we already know.... don't get the point of the video. lol

Thanks for making me feel young. I was in my 20s when this show was made, never watched it tbh. I’ve heard of Candid Camera, mostly as a joke in the 80s & 90s when I was a kid, so my parents had to tell me what “smile! You’re on candid camera!” meant. 😆
Yeah! But did you also see the R rated movie Alan Funt and the CC crew made "What do you say to a naked lady?" Risque at the time! I got to see it underage at the drive-in. Whoo Hoo!
That was the only episode I ever saw. Poor JUSTIN was just sitting on the curb with his head in his hands… Anyway… I didn’t think the show is interesting enough to ever watch another episode.
I remember when this show first aired, I had a sneaking suspicion that everything shown on TV wasn’t all of the reactions but seeing celebrities getting pranked made me feel like they were regular people like me, in my young eyes. I even still remember when MTV played music, damn I’ve gotten old
I miss the music videos so bad, ugh....and cartoons like Daria, The Head, etc. I miss Mtv in the 90's so damn bad. They really should have changed their name about 17 yrs ago to something like Ttv (Trash tv) as there hasn't been anything "music" about them in almost 20 yrs...

I am so old that in my time MTV was about music and you would watch music videos all day long. Nowadays you don't even see a music video, unless MTV is promoting some useless artist. And never forget that the real world gave origin to the crap known as big brother. Thanks MTV, for all the crap you created and all the crap you inspired to create. Music.... well, those were the days.
Oh yeah. I'm so old I remember when MTV was started it was considered a premium channel that was added. Like HBO. It wasn't part of the basic package like it is now (probably why it sucks so much). I don't remember how it worked out billing wise, I was 12 then. I just know my parents didn't get it at our house. I only watched at a friend's house. I do remember we weren't super impressed. They didn't play many videos of music we liked. Please note this comment is intended for joking around purposes only. It is *not intended* to indicate in any way that I'm now a grumpy old fart, talking about how "Things was better in my day sonny. Now get off my dang lawn!" Take it easy and have a good one. 😎
Road Rules and eventually The Challenge also invented the "Survivor" reality genre format that has been enriching us with style and culture for decades now.
The only prank I've seen of this show was the show burning the Rock's rv, then having a fake cop ask questions that made it sound like the Rock torched it. They carried the joke to the point that the Rock was ready to pound someone. I don't think the Rock was acting- the episode didn't air more than one or twice- "I wonder why."
A friend of mine was an extra on one of the episodes. I forgot who was being punked, but he caught on immediately. They were able to edit it, though, as to make it look like he was fooled.
Ugh, I remember this show. I've never liked prank shows or pranks in general. I never find them funny as usually they're extremely invasive, uncomfortable, and many times go way too far (especially once social media became a thing). I remember having a really negative view on Kutcher during this time and glad he grew out of doing that crap cause he's actually a very intelligent, decent guy from what I've seen of him in the last decade or so.
@Tyler Braden Omg yes! Sense of humor is a MUST when it comes to relationships for me. So I'm all for a good sense of humor. But, like u said...there's humor and then there's stupid bs like "pranks." 🙄😑
COLL STORY YALL... Clearly there was an audience for it... they have to sign off on it to televise so, clearly... and then. Just dont watch... REALLY strange ya even partake in anything surrounding it. Lol Gluttons perhaps? Rhetoric.. dont care. Nor your stance on your comfort smh
I remember that at the end of one episode the celebrity left on a car but somehow the guy managed to catch him running and tell him he have been punked
Every person has a flight, or fight response. So you'll either run, or punch the crap out of them. If you pull these pranks, you deserve to get punched, by Thor's hammer.
You forgot about the 3rd option where people just stand in place in shock and don't know what to do. That seems to be the vast majority in my meaningless opinion.
Reading these comments tells that people didn't even watch this video. Yes this show was edited and "faked" but in these examples (in the video) you see that they made it look less harmful. Usually when reality shows fake they add more drama and make it look more dangerous. And of course they cut all pranks that did not succeed but that is obvious.
I’m a musician and technically a B-list celebrity, I guess, and although I wasn’t the featured “victim”, I was in a 2005 Punk’d episode, along with my friend, who was the featured (much more famous lol) celebrity. And I can assure you that, provided most of the episodes are as orchestrated as the one I was in, the reactions and the pranks themselves are just as scripted as any tv show I’ve ever been a part of. We were given a script, which just more or less contained general instructions, but very few specific lines. The whole experience had a very improv type of vibe…but I have to say, it was a pretty cool experience.
Thats the reason why they look straight at the camera in the last sec of the episode and say -YOU GOT PUNK'D......i guess .... 100% was scripted, even the take out's where scripted where they raged too hard but idk just a feeling....u need a open mind when watching TV and think in reverse reverse reverse psychology
Did everyone really not know Justin Timberlake is not a kind person outside of his screen persona? I grew up loving nsync and he was my absolute idol as a teen. It broke my heart to grow up and see the kind of person he really was the whole time. He is a diva who refuses to have anyone bother him that isn’t worthy of his space and time.
The 2012 revival sucked because often times the person getting punk'd wasn't even aware of who the host was when the prank was revealed. Obviously they probably re-edited the reactions to make it look like they knew them, but you could tell on some of their faces and their reactions, they didn't react like how someone would if they really knew those people.
The Justin Timberlake episode was by far the best one. Had he gone inside and looked around ONE TIME he'd immediately see that none of his stuff was being repossessed. Not to mention the huge TV cameras and lights everywhere. People say that one went too far, but it was Justin's own fault for apparently not knowing his financial status at the time. Fake or not the whole lawsuit with that manager guy who screwed over Nsync and the Backstreet Boys was going on then, so I'm willing to believe there was at least some real emotion behind it.
I don't think that was still happening. The episode took place after he broke up with Britney and went solo. You can tell because his head was shaved in the ep, whereas he had blond hair during his Nsync years. By the time he went solo he definitely knew how much he was making.
@@edselgreaves6503 I thought they were close together. Just goes to show how much of a shit I give about Nsync. I guess we'll call it breakup rage. Close enough.
@@visceratrocar it was pretty close together. NSYNC's last song was Girlfriend (feat. Nelly) in March 2002 and his first solo song came out around August 2002. This Punk'd episode happened in mid-2003 I think. Things happened pretty fast back then.
I consider reality shows to be half scripted improvise shows where bad actors provide their own sets and pretend to be real people who they act like a hollywood version of themselves.
If I was pranked, then I would probably laugh it off, depending on the subject matter. That would come after though after I recover from the heart attack due to sudden, unexpected surprises. lol.
As much of a d-bag Ashton was during this time. I have nothing, but love for the man. He has done so much charity work and helped so many people get their voices heard, he is a true celebrity hero activist.
I REMEMBER ASHTON AS ONE OF THOSE WHO AUDITIONED FOR THE ROLE OF SUPERMAN WHERE BRANDON ROUTH WAS THE ACTOR WHO PORTRAYED, IM JUST GLAD THAT HE WASNT SELECTED 😂
I don't remember it because I never watched it. I've seen plenty of "reality" shows without trying because it was on someone else's TV or I was channel surfing, and they were at least as fake as Punk'd. For reality I prefer science and history lectures and documentaries. Not that those are free from fakery and error. Not much that people do is. It's good to expose it wherever we find it, so thanks for this piece. Seeing shouldn't automatically be believing even in person because the hand is quicker than the eye. And video footage can be edited or even CGI.
I remember a teacher in high school telling a story of a fire that destroyed the original versions of the bible and monks that had to transcribe them by memory. If this is true I would like to learn more about this event in a video!
i always knew they faked a lot on that show i just always wondered how much of it. i KNEW the reactions were fake, so much of the time you could just tell. i also find it hard to believe you could get anywhere near a celebs car without them finding out so you could destroy it for yucks. as a normal person you for some reason dont think about it being faked, especially when the celeb is seen "calling the shots" like ashton was but if you dig a little into how tv and movies work, you soon find out that 99% of everything you see is fake as fuck no matter how genuine it looks. im in that area where i know enough about hollywood that i know its all fake bs for money and ratings and nothing is ever real no matter what they say.
Can’t believe the show was revived recently and not only is Kutcher absent but they got people like king Bach hosting it and their pranking z-list celebs. This show peaked in 07. It was a product of its time. Nowadays how the hell are you gonna punk a celebrity when everyone knows what punk’d is.
I'm old enough to remember when Music Television was still about music and not reality shows. Those were the good days of MTV. I don't watch much cable TV anymore, does MTV even still exist now?

They could've turned the punk'd fails into a whole other show. I would've loved to see the reactions of ppl who figured out they were being punk'd.

I also recall them freely admitting that they'd failed to punk people and this was the third (or whatever) attempt. Some of the episodes were pretty funny.

And of course they cut all pranks that did not succeed but that is obvious.
HAHAHAH! Zach Braff couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.
I’m a musician and technically a B-list celebrity, I guess, and although I wasn’t the featured “victim”, I was in a 2005 Punk’d episode, along with my friend, who was the featured (much more famous lol) celebrity. And I can assure you that, provided most of the episodes are as orchestrated as the one I was in, the reactions and the pranks themselves are just as scripted as any tv show I’ve ever been a part of. We were given a script, which just more or less contained general instructions, but very few specific lines. The whole experience had a very improv type of vibe…but I have to say, it was a pretty cool experience.
Technically? Is there an actual list of celebrities and their fame grade?
I am Frank Sinatra and koocher didnt fool me for a second!
Lol you're kidding yourself.
Thats the reason why they look straight at the camera in the last sec of the episode and say -YOU GOT PUNK'D......i guess ....
100% was scripted, even the take out's where scripted where they raged too hard but idk just a feeling....u need a open mind when watching TV and think in reverse reverse reverse psychology
I feel I haven’t been able to enjoy youtube videos lately but this was great, I actually laughed
I would rather "Candid Camera" come back, that show was beyond funny!!
Did everyone really not know Justin Timberlake is not a kind person outside of his screen persona? I grew up loving nsync and he was my absolute idol as a teen. It broke my heart to grow up and see the kind of person he really was the whole time. He is a diva who refuses to have anyone bother him that isn’t worthy of his space and time.
I've never been more glad that I avoided this show.
I thought you were about to ruin this childhood gem of mine! That wasn’t too bad of an expose
Are we ever getting the 70's like we did the 80's and 90's. Its been a while.
This show was the breaking point where it starting to become really obvious that reality TV was all fake.
still a better “reality” show than “Pimp my Ride”
Both are trash
I’ll take Punkd a million times out of a million over Teen Mom 8 and Jersey Shore spin-off number 50.
The 2012 revival sucked because often times the person getting punk'd wasn't even aware of who the host was when the prank was revealed. Obviously they probably re-edited the reactions to make it look like they knew them, but you could tell on some of their faces and their reactions, they didn't react like how someone would if they really knew those people.
I would love to see the Punk'd crew have "a taste of their own medicine"
Preventing people from suing or shooting by downplaying the pranks and having a bunch of lawyers around... that's the most American thing ever 😅
Would you please kindly talk about the reality show "Fear"? I remember it well and not many people talk about it.
That Simple Plan joke was solid gold
The Justin Timberlake episode was by far the best one. Had he gone inside and looked around ONE TIME he'd immediately see that none of his stuff was being repossessed. Not to mention the huge TV cameras and lights everywhere. People say that one went too far, but it was Justin's own fault for apparently not knowing his financial status at the time. Fake or not the whole lawsuit with that manager guy who screwed over Nsync and the Backstreet Boys was going on then, so I'm willing to believe there was at least some real emotion behind it.
I bet you after that episode he combed through his finances
I don't think that was still happening. The episode took place after he broke up with Britney and went solo. You can tell because his head was shaved in the ep, whereas he had blond hair during his Nsync years. By the time he went solo he definitely knew how much he was making.
@@edselgreaves6503 I thought they were close together. Just goes to show how much of a shit I give about Nsync. I guess we'll call it breakup rage. Close enough.
@@visceratrocar it was pretty close together. NSYNC's last song was Girlfriend (feat. Nelly) in March 2002 and his first solo song came out around August 2002. This Punk'd episode happened in mid-2003 I think. Things happened pretty fast back then.
@@edselgreaves6503 I don't know. It just didn't seem as staged as the rest of the episodes did.
Thank you for this video ! 😊💐
Killing me with the Kutcher pronunciation haha pretty sure he's trolling because its pronounced how you think it Would be Kut-cher not cooch-er 😂😂😂
Yo weird history when ya gonna do the 2000s timeline ?!? I’m dying for some nostalgia from this era?
I consider reality shows to be half scripted improvise shows where bad actors provide their own sets and pretend to be real people who they act like a hollywood version of themselves.
youve got to do an episode on ''Room Raiders'' such a bizzare crazy show
Honestly…while these actors are concerned with their image, their reactions were pretty understandable.
When people started talking about reality shows, I would always say “ I don’t like them. They are always badly written”.
If I was pranked, then I would probably laugh it off, depending on the subject matter. That would come after though after I recover from the heart attack due to sudden, unexpected surprises. lol.
Someone needs to dig up the cutting room floor footage. It'd make a fascinating compilation.
I wonder how much PTSD was triggered and is still genuinely plaguing these poor people to this day. 😳
I don't appreciate you making a video on something I actually remember and calling it history. Naw I'm kidding these videos are entertaining too.
As much of a d-bag Ashton was during this time. I have nothing, but love for the man. He has done so much charity work and helped so many people get their voices heard, he is a true celebrity hero activist.
Shutup it's easy to be charitable when you're rich! Don't respect people for doing the bare minimum
The biggest shock is that this video didn't reveal it's entirely staged.
I REMEMBER ASHTON AS ONE OF THOSE WHO AUDITIONED FOR THE ROLE OF SUPERMAN WHERE BRANDON ROUTH WAS THE ACTOR WHO PORTRAYED, IM JUST GLAD THAT HE WASNT SELECTED 😂
@Drew Epps 😂😂
you know you're getting old when Wierd History is doing a series on "Punk'd". We still alive! haha
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
Exactly sir
Investing in crypto currency is one of the best chance of making money
That won't bother you if you trade with a Professional like Mr David Herrlein
I heard his trading strategies are really good
He's obviously the best i invested 2000USD with him and in 9 days I made profit 9101USD
I don't remember it because I never watched it. I've seen plenty of "reality" shows without trying because it was on someone else's TV or I was channel surfing, and they were at least as fake as Punk'd. For reality I prefer science and history lectures and documentaries. Not that those are free from fakery and error. Not much that people do is. It's good to expose it wherever we find it, so thanks for this piece. Seeing shouldn't automatically be believing even in person because the hand is quicker than the eye. And video footage can be edited or even CGI.
I remember a teacher in high school telling a story of a fire that destroyed the original versions of the bible and monks that had to transcribe them by memory. If this is true I would like to learn more about this event in a video!
I never believed for a second a single episode of that show wasn't staged. Just like everything else NoMTV ever had on .
I remember this show. I only saw a few episodes though.
BABE WAKE UP, WEIRD HISTORY JUST UPLOADED A NEW VID
This disappoints me greatly and further shakes my perpetually dimming worldview.
The best prank shows tend to be in foreign countries because the USA is insanely lawsuit crazy!
i always knew they faked a lot on that show i just always wondered how much of it. i KNEW the reactions were fake, so much of the time you could just tell. i also find it hard to believe you could get anywhere near a celebs car without them finding out so you could destroy it for yucks.
as a normal person you for some reason dont think about it being faked, especially when the celeb is seen "calling the shots" like ashton was but if you dig a little into how tv and movies work, you soon find out that 99% of everything you see is fake as fuck no matter how genuine it looks. im in that area where i know enough about hollywood that i know its all fake bs for money and ratings and nothing is ever real no matter what they say.
Lol why is he calling him ‘Ashton KOOtcher’ 😂
I certainly remember that episode with Jwestin Tymberlick.
It was fun-ny 😐
Damn it. Childhood innocence has been ruined forever!
It's KUTCHER! Not KOOCHER! Who does'nt know that??
Whoa! You DESTROYED King Bach's name 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Koootcher lol
Even as a teenager I hated this show so much. Tormenting people and recording them never seemed funny to me.
It is your God given right and duty to beat the shit out of "pranksters"
I agree. There is nothing funny about practical jokes. They hurt.
“You’ve just been tomahawk’d.
That’s my new show… tomahawk’d.”
So basically we got Punk'd
These are great, I super L❤️ VE the whimsy, Thanks, and goodnight all.
I can't believe people actually watch this and thought it was real
Can’t believe the show was revived recently and not only is Kutcher absent but they got people like king Bach hosting it and their pranking z-list celebs. This show peaked in 07. It was a product of its time.
Nowadays how the hell are you gonna punk a celebrity when everyone knows what punk’d is.
I never liked that show personally. I thought it was dumb.
Omg!! 😱 Ashton lied to us?? I can’t 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm old enough to remember when Music Television was still about music and not reality shows. Those were the good days of MTV. I don't watch much cable TV anymore, does MTV even still exist now?
