Trivia:

Ashton Kutcher jokes that he's not allowed to be "punked", but in fact it has happened twice - the first time was a test run by producers before the show aired (he was constantly asked to walk through an X-ray machine at MTV offices). The second time occurred when Britney Spears got Kutcher's staff to turn against him. But plan backfired. Ashton realized what was going on, and got Britney to turn on his Punk'd crew.

Movie Connections:

Referenced in Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004)

palmer-4 is wrong

number 1- Punk'd is not designed to be funny..it is designed to be a candid camera show, and if he gets a few laughs that's fine. The purpose of this show is so that all of us ordinary people can laugh because someone is doing the same thing the celebrities that other shows have done to the average person for years. number 2- Besides who doesn't want to see Justin Timberlake cry, or see the Rock try to beat someone up, or see someone's car get "taken" cause they were to lazy to walk the 50 feet across the street.

This show is just meant to give celebrities and Ashton's friends a hard time. I for one like it...it has it's funny moments, it has all the things you want a candid camera show to have.

...........and if you anyone knows anything about kelly osbourne they know that she doesn't care about her appearance and that is what made that bit funny...or at least slightly amusing
