DUBAI: Egyptian actor Ramez Galal faced criticism on social media after his prank show “Ramez Magnoun Rasmy” aired over the weekend.
Since 2011, the star has been presenting hidden camera shows during Ramadan in which he pranks some of the biggest stars from the world of entertainment, sport and media.
Each year, viewers criticize Galal for his extreme, humiliating pranks. But this year, the audience did not seem impressed.
His show, which translates to “Ramez is officially crazy,” invites guests who think they are going to be interviewed by Yemeni TV presenter Arwa.
The celebrities sit on a “confession chair” and midway through the interview Galal appears and takes over the show.
He starts by rotating the stars, who are locked in what turns out to be a rollercoaster chair, 360° around the set.
Galal then puts the celebrities in a water tank where he throws in animals, like snakes and crabs, to scare the guests.
Once the stars think this is all over, they are set free. But before they can make another move, they fall into another water tank.
“It seems fake and the stars seem to be in on the prank,” Palestinian viewer Sarah Khader told Arab News.
“To be honest, I usually watch his shows every year, but this year it was disappointing. I was expecting much more,” Egyptian fan Kareem Nagy said.
“It is very humiliating and it is not a prank,” said another Egyptian viewer Logeen Abdelal.
On social media, one user created memes that read: “Where is the prank in the show?”
Another user wrote: “This show should be really stopped. I only watched the first two mins and I couldn’t support to watch more! This isn’t funny at all.”
