I was a teenager when Howie Do It was on TV. I didn't laugh then. I re-watched it now fifteen years later, and I still didn't laugh. I feel like by the mid 2000s, people's standards for humor had started declining. I'd be curious to know the demographic of the population who thought it was funny. I mean seriously, what kind of person laughs at this crap??? The pranks were immature, stupid, and offensive. A guy bringing his parents on a fake news segment called "mystery reunions" to reveal that he made a woman pregnant; Howie disguised as a waiter and putting his fingers in customers' drinks; a woman who was told she would be doing an instructional DVD for yoga, and she's placed in the middle of two men who pass gas the whole time. Howie said it was real - no sound effects. Yeah, okay. Well, if that was the case, she was crazy for staying, because if I was her, I would've left the room. Why would you subject yourself to being around people who are intentionally trying to be disgusting? I know pranks are supposed to be dumb, but I don't see anything humorous about embarrassing or making people feel uncomfortable. Plus it seemed like they were all actors, not just the ones who were being pranked. Their reactions came off as staged. This was a show for children, or childish adults. I'm glad it didn't stay on long. It was a waste of money and time to make in the first place.
Howie Do It was a terrible show and easily the worst of the hidden camera or prank type shows that I have ever seen... and I have seen a lot of these shows in my life. Candid Camera I guess started it and old reruns of that show aren't that great but Howie Do It is just terrible, like the worst.
Howie is a horrible host and the costumes they would put him in are stupid. Plus him revealing himself is just dumb because like we're supposed to know who he is and be excited? I mean I have heard of him but probably wouldn't recognize him on the street. He's not a big celebrity or anything even just in Canada.
The pranks were all stupid and I don't think I laughed even one time watching this. Really just a terrible show.

This is quite the unremarkable show that is similar to Candid Camera, where host Howie Mandel makes practical jokes to other people while the camera is on. Unfortunately, this show does not match the humor and surprises as Candid Camera due to its mediocre jokes and boring concept.
Howie Mandel doesn't come across as the funny host he was supposed to be, instead, pulling off unfunny gags and lackluster execution that makes him come across as annoying sometimes.
That overzealous Ravidrums guy banging on the drums while Mandel is hosting, like an over-excited and drugged up kid, added to the annoyance and talent-less aspect of the show. He makes you want to grab his drumsticks and throw him off the stage.
It's just as well that this TV show didn't last long on the air. Howie doesn't do it as far as talent and entertainment in this show.
Grade F

I am convinced that Howie Do It may in fact be the worst show ever made. I guess there would probably be worse shows like Turkish Batman or some other stuff, worse Canadian shows are out there, but considering the money this show obviously had and the production values being so high this has to be the worst show in this price range. The pranks were all ridiculously unfunny the talent was awful the host Howie Mandell was cringe inducing he was so awful and unfunny, I hated everything about this show. How do shows this bad even get put on TV can I apply and get my own show instead? Scare Tactics wasn't very good and it still looks like genius art next to this awful show.
Howie Do It is such a horrible show that I can only think that maybe, just maybe, the entire thing was just a really bad joke. Who on earth would put a show this bad on TV and actually expect people to watch it? I can't begin to say how awful this show was. Howie was a terrible host, and what was with him always wearing a stupid disguise (just a bad wig usually) and always calling himself Larry? The pranks were all really bad, what is the point of copying a successful old formula like Candid Camera and not even updating it to be better, or funny in today's world? This was a really bad show with really bad performances, bad hosting, and bad writing. Bad idea from the get go, all around terrible show.
