I thought it was funny because they were making fun of retards. Think what you will of me for that, but I'm not alone.

This call was good, but not enough to make me watch the show again.

"I've got mail" made me want to stick a needle in my eyeball.

Crank Yankers 6/16
 
Is e erybody amped for tonights episode of Crank Yankers? I Know I can hardly wait.

zig 06-16-02 10:36 PM

eh.. still hasn't improved much. it's an average show. I probably won't ever watch it again unless it just happens to come on when i'm watching comedy central.

Wanda Sykes.. Turd in the backseat of a car. . Very Funny!

Gdrlv 06-17-02 12:34 AM

Never seen it before...it's on the first commercial break right now, and I'm probably gonna turn it off. These guys are just not that funny. It seems like everyone they call knows they're playing around. Pretty lame.

TheMadMonk 06-17-02 10:35 AM

I also loved the Wanda Sykes/turd skit. Very Funny. I think I liked it because it seemed like the guy on the other end wasn't taking it seriously - he was having a good time, laughing and stuff. I don't like it when they take advantage/make fun of simple innocent people to get a laugh.

Show ... still ... on. :johnwoo:

I could watch the Jim Florentine/Special Ed calls all night. I'm still laughing. I'VE GOT MAIL! YYAAAAAYYYYY! I WANNA GO TO HAWAII! YYAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!

I thought the Tenacious D performance was a bit disturbing...:whofart:

Crank Yankers 7/7
 
God those UPS calls are freaking funny. I would love to know how they set them up. I'm guessing they get a number one off and wait.

I love this show.

Yeah, but the people think they are calling UPS.

tygloalex 08-01-02 01:04 PM

Anybody like Crank Yankers?
 
I hated this show at first, but damn, it's really growing on me, it's so funny. Especially the ones with YPS and the deaf guy calling the phone sex lady had me laughing so hard. Oh--and can't forget Special Ed! I've got mail! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

WhattheFFF 08-01-02 01:48 PM

give 1 guy a blowjob show on you, give 2 guys a blow job shame on me

People were posting threads by episode for a while, but none recently.

das Monkey 08-01-02 02:00 PM

Yeah, I enjoy it. Got tired or reading through the threads where people said it sucked, so I stopped posting about it.

I don't know what my problem with this show is, but it's severe. Literally, I can't even be in the same room. I've never had a repulsion to a show that strong before. Last night, the guy who rents one of my bedrooms had it on while he was cooking; I couldn't go into that part of the house. Serious. Weird, eh?

May wanna have that looked at. :) They have doctors for that sort of thing: witch doctors.

Not all the calls work, but some of them get me laughing pretty hard. They've culled a good group of comedians too.

I think they should just dump all the other characters and rename this the Bobby Fletcher Show

He's clearly the standout.

"Hey, I saw your place when I was driving by but I couldn't get the address, cause I was drunk at the time." :lol:

Also the 'creative' kiddie-show scene setups drag the pace down, they should be disposed of.

Gdrlv 08-01-02 05:21 PM

I, too, really hated this show when it first came on. It's growing on me. It doesn't work all the time, but when it does, it's hilarious.

The theme song is extremely catchy as well. I've had it stuck in my head since I watched it last night. Just found out it was performed by Fountains of Wayne, one of my favorite bands.
