Do you like prank/hidden camera shows?

“Candid Camera” was the first prank show I ever heard of, but even so, I caught the rebooted version, not the original. It was a clean, fun way to play out funny scenarios on every day people. Many years later, Ashton Kutcher and MTV did “Punk’d”, which pranked famous people. Nowadays, we have “Impractical Jokers” (3 childhood best friends-the 4th left) who prank unsuspecting every day people. There is also “Foul Play”, a prank show hosted by NBA star Anthony Williams, who only pranks fellow star athletes (like Tara Lipinski and Draymond Green). I prefer to see famous people pranked. Even though regular people get paid for their appearance, and have to consent to airing it, I still feel less sorry for well known people getting fooled than those out there like you and me. I really just don’t watch prank shows. What about you guys?

I used to love Candid Camera when I was a kid. It was all clean fun. I also loved roasts of famous people back in the day. Otherwise, I don’t watch the other shows you mentioned.

You said clean fun…that’s what I like. You just don’t get that with the current options.

No, I don't watch pranks. I don't think they're funny.

Some of the first ones were more innocent and harmless than later ones. I haven't watched such a show for ages.

No,I don’t care for these type of shows. Being pranked like that is somewhat demeaning and so embarrassing. And many times it’s just a step beyond a joke. A big nope from me.

I haven't seen them very often truthfully, but in the old days I watched the original Candid Camera. The son did a remake of the show and I watched that too.

I liked most of those videos some were really fun. I agree that well known people are better targets.

I hate Impractical Jokers. I feel sorry for the innocent people that are pranked.
