I'm sure I'm not the only person here who finds Ashton Kutcher extremely annoying (and his show, Punk'd) but it's interesting how many failures the show has had and how much hot water Ashton has gotten into because of them. Read on!




Failed Pranks
* In December 2003, Kutcher attempted to "punk" WWE wrestler Bill Goldberg by having him think a truck had run over his prized motorcycle, when really it was a replica, but the stunt went wrong when the truck clearly missed the bike. Goldberg quickly realized what was going on, and asked "Who do I have to kill?". Kutcher then revealed himself, as the joke had failed.

* In June 2005, Kutcher failed to punk self-proclaimed King of Crunk Lil Jon. He was boarding a plane headed for Las Vegas, but Kutcher had actors playing customs agents tell him that he was actually headed for Ecuador. Lil Jon quickly identified members of the "customs agents" from previous episodes of the program, and asked for Kutcher to reveal himself.

* According to Kutcher himself, he failed to punk Neve Campbell twice until he finally succeeded on his third try in season 6.

* According to Nick Cannon in the March 3, 2006 People magazine, Ashton grew frustrated because he failed to fool Cannon about 4 times, with last attempt involving a man pretending to be trapped in a gas station. Cannon saw through the joke because he noticed the cameras and was not convinced by the actor's performance.

[info]goingtoguam 13th-Apr-2006 08:35 pm (UTC)
I thought it was that they pretended the plane he was on was going to crash.
[info]lovedhurtlost 13th-Apr-2006 08:44 pm (UTC)
Yeah, that's what I heard.
[info]whaturmamasaid 13th-Apr-2006 08:44 pm (UTC)

[info]saidshedcall 13th-Apr-2006 09:27 pm (UTC)
Yes I heard that too, and it sounded pretty reliable.

[info]blankcanvas 13th-Apr-2006 08:45 pm (UTC)
I think that's what they did to Jesse Metcalff (however you spell it... the gardener from Desperate Housewives).
[info]stelllllar 14th-Apr-2006 04:23 am (UTC)
No, that happened to the boy off of Desparate Housewives. Don't know his name
[info]dreamer1104 16th-Apr-2006 07:50 pm (UTC)
I heard Michael Vartan's was of him "trying out to be the third Spiderman villain"....

No, that was Jesse Metcalfe and the prank was aired.

Dunno about Vartan.

[info]bagelofdeath 13th-Apr-2006 08:33 pm (UTC)
I would have LOVED to see Edward Norton. Not because I like the show, but because more Norton is ALWAYS a good thing.
[info]nemesisbecoming 13th-Apr-2006 09:14 pm (UTC)
Agreed.
[info]icklecarriekins 13th-Apr-2006 09:48 pm (UTC)
MOST DEFINITELY.

Norton Love <3.
[info]old_fart_1 13th-Apr-2006 10:01 pm (UTC)
he's too good for that teen pop culture shit
[info]most 14th-Apr-2006 03:51 am (UTC)
I'd have to agree. Plus, I imagine him getting really, really pissed for some reason. --perhaps images of Fight Club and The Italian Job are influencing my thoughts...
[info]drinkingasoline 13th-Apr-2006 11:14 pm (UTC)
ohhh YES! I love me some Norton.
[info]hcrewzor 14th-Apr-2006 12:21 am (UTC)
Agreed agreed! Ed is the man.
[info]amlovesyou 14th-Apr-2006 04:35 pm (UTC)
Same here. And also because I have no idea how he'd probably react to it.
[info]liquid_quaalude 13th-Apr-2006 08:34 pm (UTC)
Demi moore must be damn hard up to have married this total fuckwad.
This show sucks,one season ok...whos idea is it to keep this shit on the air?
[info]graphemes I agree13th-Apr-2006 08:56 pm (UTC)

[info]liquid_quaalude Re: I agree13th-Apr-2006 08:57 pm (UTC)
I love that icon!

I KNOW, you would have to be living under a rock AND Amish.
To not know what this show is.
[info]snatchphoenix 13th-Apr-2006 10:12 pm (UTC)
wow I must really be out of the loop...I had no idea Demi married him...

wow I don't know who to feel sorry for...

[info]the_o_in_god 14th-Apr-2006 01:17 pm (UTC)

[info]venus_ice 13th-Apr-2006 08:34 pm (UTC)
ROFLMAO! Juliette Lewis got "forgotten"? How awesome.
[info]jupitermoon 13th-Apr-2006 08:43 pm (UTC)
Yeah right... all of MTV "forgot".
[info]shesdoneitnow 13th-Apr-2006 09:08 pm (UTC)


"FORGOT"
definition: people give so little a fuck about you that they don't even want to see you get made into a bigger fool than you already are.
[info]writergno 13th-Apr-2006 09:25 pm (UTC)
i always forget her.
[info]the_o_in_god 14th-Apr-2006 01:18 pm (UTC)
what? how can you hate on her.
[info]quemadura 13th-Apr-2006 08:34 pm (UTC)
lol @ this post. i suggest a guest host to punk Ashton!
[info]goingtoguam 13th-Apr-2006 08:36 pm (UTC)
Britney Spears did.
[info]xnotlikeyoux 13th-Apr-2006 08:58 pm (UTC)
yeah but ashton knew he was being punked so he flipped out and ended up punking his crew and Britney in the process.
[info]dannong 13th-Apr-2006 08:35 pm (UTC)
Didn't he do something really nasty to Vartan, like play on his fear of flying, and that's why Vartan won't let it air?
[info]writergno 13th-Apr-2006 09:25 pm (UTC)
i effing love michael vartan.
[info]benvolio87 14th-Apr-2006 03:26 pm (UTC)
If he did, that's just cruel. Its' one thing to prank people,but another to cause them fucking panic attacks! (or like, extreme fear in general)
[info]koalafrog 13th-Apr-2006 08:36 pm (UTC)
Good for Norton, he doesn't need to be associated with this trash.
[info]benvolio87 14th-Apr-2006 03:27 pm (UTC)
Exactly. I would have been so mad watching Ashton try to punk such a fucking amazing actor. Christ, he's way too distinguished for that.
[info]brodystfu 13th-Apr-2006 08:36 pm (UTC)
The show was annoying. His prank's were lame. He was lame.
[info]kathy_x0 13th-Apr-2006 08:36 pm (UTC)
lol @ JoJo

God, it must be so annoying to have to maintain a facade just to keep your fan base. I remember once I went to a Britney concert (I was a kid, shut up!) and before she played "I'm Not That Innocent" she started talking about how "it's just a song and she really is innocent and what not. Pfffft..
[info]liquid_quaalude 13th-Apr-2006 09:27 pm (UTC)
Its ok..I got a BS ticket stub somewhere around here!
Yea I LOVED that whole facde she had,oh Im innocent virgin till Im married blah blah blah
[info]drinkingasoline 13th-Apr-2006 11:28 pm (UTC)
hahahah that thing about Britney is HILARIOUS!
[info]jake_back 14th-Apr-2006 01:53 am (UTC)
your so cute. You know damn well the song isn't called "I'm Not That Innocent". You don't have to pretend, you're not familiar with a little song called "Opps... I did it Again."
[info]lovedforaday 13th-Apr-2006 08:39 pm (UTC)
Constantine Maroulis ... offering him 100 million dollars to pose nude in Playgirl

Just the thought of him nude makes me wanna puke.
