Funny to an extent, but I find it somewhat disrespectful.

The soldiers, the driver and the TV host are all in on the joke. It's the famous person who is being had.
I'm going to shoot you. You're a terrorist! But this is Iraq, not MTV. Here, it gets ugly fast. In one episode, a soldier screamed at the passenger in Arabic: "I'm going to shoot you. You're a terrorist!"
Some guests cry; others faint. The guest on this episode, a well-known national soccer fan, grabbed a big brick and tried to attack soldiers with it.
"They will kill you," the host screamed. "They will hang you!"
The scene dragged on for an agonizing 12 minutes, and that's after editing. Eventually the soldiers kissed the guest and told him it was all a joke.
