Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

MTV's guerilla version of television pranking makes sadistically compelling entertainment. Host, co-creator, and mastermind Ashton Kutcher's unprecedented attack on celebrity egos--via con jobs so elaborate they might have been lifted from episodes of Mission: Impossible--can certainly make one cringe and perhaps fret over the show's dubious ethics. But there's no question of a highway-accident appeal to many of Punk'd's practical jokes, including the first season's assaults on actress Eliza Dushku (shattered after being set up to look like a shoplifter) and Justin Timberlake (devastated when he finds faux IRS agents confiscating his house, possessions, and pets). Stephen Dorff, on the other hand, won't put up with a falsified bar tab for $8,000, and Seth Green protests a fake vice cop's insinuation that the diminutive actor betrayed his friends. Less monstrous is Punk'd's 8-year-old confederate, Ryan, a spurious reporter who solicits hugs from the likes of Tori Amos and Christina Applegate. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars The must-have season for fans of the show September 8, 2005

By Daniel Fazekas

Format:DVD

This is it! Season 2 of Punk'd is easily among the best seasons of the show ever, if not the greatest. And since sadly, it's still the last season of Punk'd to be available on DVD today, it's not like you have much of a choice on which one to purchase anyway.

The segments with Hilary Duff, Katie Holmes, Jaime Pressly and Amber Tamblyn are among the most successful pranks the show has ever done. A person has asked what's the point of owning a TV show and watching an episode you've already seen. It's fun! It makes you laugh out loud and cry from laughing too hard. Like any good comedy, Punk'd can be equally funny on repeat viewing, you might just have to shelve it for a month or two -- but then, really, that's the same for any DVD.

The only two gripes I have with this DVD are the jarringly inferior video quality of the deleted scenes and that the first disc starts with lengthy advertisements for other MTV DVDs. They can be skipped, but you'll have to press your Next Chapter button several times until you finally get to the main menu.

Now if only MTV would finally release the next seasons on DVD...

4.0 out of 5 stars I GOT PUNK'T! January 20, 2004

By cyclista

Format:DVD

Imagine Candid Camera on steroids... done with celebrities! They do a nice job on this show. The host makes sure you know who the celebrities are and explains the practical joke and how it will be set up. But this is not your ordinary practical joke! Imagine this... how do you think Frankie Muniz, the star of "Malcolm in the Middle", reacts when he thinks his very expensive Porsche has been stolen? HA! What a riot!

In general, the transfer to DVD is done nicely. The video in full screen format is very decent, just a little graininess. The video quality is certainly better than cable. The stereo 2.0 sound is acceptable. The voices are very clear and easy to understand. I'm not sure what the movie rating on this would be, but there is plenty of strong language and gestures not used in polite company.

The extras are better than average. Several are very funny, including deleted scenes that you access by pressing enter when an icon appears. There are two bonus pranks that are worth watching. Funny stuff. I love to hear them say, "I got PUNK'T!"

4.0 out of 5 stars The start of the show on an above-average DVD September 8, 2005

By Daniel Fazekas

Format:DVD

The first season is always special in a television show's life, especially when they manage to live on for subsequent seasons. Punk'd is now past its 5th season at the time I'm writing this, and the show didn't completely master its present-day formula until its second season.

As such, this season is clearly more experimental and less refined than it has become later on. The most noticeable difference is of course that roughly once per episode, they're pulling pranks on random everyday people, rather than celebrities.

That's not to say this season isn't worth owning; in fact, some would argue Punk'd didn't get any better than this. I don't agree with the latter and don't hold Season 1 too high among my favorites, although there are some fun pranks to be found here, such as the one with Jessica Alba.

Matching the first season's experimental nature, the DVD itself is also less refined than that of Season 2. The most annoying omission is that the feature to watch all bonus deleted segments without having to sit through the original episodes is not yet available here. The presentation is all right otherwise; video quality is nice other than the deleted scenes - an unfortunate trait shared with the Season 2 DVD - and some minor glitches in the second episode's segment with Mandy Moore.
