It is refreshing to know that, even in the Quibi age, the old comedy trope of "man in a gorilla suit" is as funny and fresh as it ever was, which is to say not and no
April 06, 2020
I similarly hoped to enjoy Chance the Rapper's revival of MTV's celebrity prank series Punk'd-because Chance is charming, handsome, talented, et cetera-but the quick-bite format doesn't give the pranks enough room to build.

Its singular nature means each prank fits a single quibi well and makes for a complete viewing which is something most of the quibis here can't claim.
April 06, 2020
The Quibi reboot is a chaotic neutral at best-host Chance the Rapper is too classy and good-hearted for the role; he takes no pleasure in wreaking havoc on any of his guests.

Punk'd ultimately feels uninspired and doesn't bring anything new to the genre.
April 06, 2020
Old host Ashton Kutcher has been replaced by Chance the Rapper, whose easy charm and good-natured humor is a key reason this series works.

I don't like pranks to begin with, but Punk'D ultimately made me feel very old, and very out-of-touch, because I didn't recognize a single celebrity being punk'd here. Who are these people?

This might be well-suited to Quibi, even though shows like this have gone the way of the dodo amid the realm of Youtube pranks.
April 23, 2020
Reboot of classic MTV show has big pranks, tons of cursing.
April 06, 2020
The spirit of MTV's Punk'd is alive and well on Quibi.
April 06, 2020
The "Punk'd" formula has been a success for years, so no doubt some will find the new version hilarious. For me, it was the rare and inconsequential clunker in a largely shining debut for Quibi.
April 06, 2020
Assuming the pranks are as effective moving forward, I have no doubt that this new Punk'd will become a fast favorite Quibi.
