Reception
In a negative review, The Ringer{{'}}s Kate Knibbs criticized the series saying, "Every era gets the Punk'd it deserves, and we are living through a spectacularly dumb and cruel moment. There’s something fitting about how Facebook, notorious for flooding the internet with viral garbage, debuted an accidental, weirdly cruel anti-comedy in its push for original content. You Kiddin’ Me?! isn't funny."{{cite web |last1=Knibbs |first1=Kate |title=The Kardashians Almost Definitely Don't Know What a Prank Is |url=https://www.theringer.com/tv/2018/9/25/17898156/kardashians-you-kidding-me-facebook-watch-prank-show |website=The Ringer |access-date=September 27, 2018 |date=September 25, 2018}}
