Line 4:

One of the best-known pranks involved convincing [[Justin Timberlake]] that the [[United States|U.S.]] government was seizing his property and boarding up the doors and windows of his home for not paying his taxes.

A frequent segment during the first season had then–fifteenthe then fifteen-year-old [[Ryan Pinkston]] pretending to interview celebrities for a kids' show, only to mock them instead.

The show has spawned the catchphrase "You just got punk'd".

Line 10:

In late [[2003]], it was announced by MTV that Kutcher had decided not to continue production on ''Punk'd''. Some commentators speculated that the announcement was a ploy designed to lower the guard of increasingly wary celebrities in an attempt at another season of pranks. This proved to be true when the third season began airing on [[April 25]] [[2004]]. The television audience itself had been "punk'd".

In December 2003, Kutcher attempted to "punk" WWE wrestler 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 realised what was going on, and questionedasked "Who do I have to kill?". Kutcher then revealed himself and went through what was supposed to happen. Then 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.

In July 2005, ''Punk'd'' set a new record, when [[Indiana Pacers]]' [[Jermaine O'Neal]] was "punk'd" by four people, including Kutcher, [[Allen Iverson]], and [[Todd Bridges]].
