Overall , very funny TV. Enjoy.

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...

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!"

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.

Come on ya'll- Some of the episodes on the first season were really funny! For example, the Justin Timberlake episode!

I bought punk'd on dvd and it is honestly one of my all time fave dvds. i was a huge fan of the show and of ashton's but the dvd just rocks. The missing footage is funny but my fave part and i would say get the dvd just for this... the commentary (ashton, dax, and goldie) is so funny. its interesting to hear the behind the scenes stories and just their conversations. i hope this review is helpful and will get u to want to expierence the punk'd dvd.

Ashton Kutcher delivers in this 2-disc set a second great season of "MTV Punk'd". See how this guy manage to trick many celebrities, normal people, his friends, or even his own crew!!

Kutcher is the head producer of this second season, like it was for the first one. There is also extra features, including never-released scenes.

It's as good as the first season was !
It's so funny to see how celebrities react when their self-control is being put to the edge!!

I'm no critic but I liked this season! One of the funniest seasons. My favorite is Tatoo You, that alone is worth the $, that was hillarious. And I also liked the Jessica Alba episode, that's pretty funny as well. Anything with Dax is worth buying!

The show punk'd is a very funny tv show that can keep you laughing every time! Do not listen to the reviews of those stuck in the past and wanting people to feel sorry for them cuz their favorite show got cancelled. If you don't like the show, don't bother writing anything especially if you haven't bought the DVD. There are lots of shows I don't like but I don't storm around telling everyone (including those who like the show) how stupid I think they are. Listen to me, if you want the true facts.

If you enjoyed the first season of Punk'd or seeing celebrities looking foolish and getting mad, then the second season of Punk'd is for you. I had my doubts about the second season, wondering if it could live up to the success of the first season, but it sure does. The pranks are different from the first season and he targets completelly different people and all of the segments are very funny. However, there is a considerable amount of explicit content regarding the language used so watcher be warned. Season 2 is just as funny as the first and punking celebrities never gets old. I recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the first season of Punk'd and The Jamie Kennedy Experiment.
