[QUOTE="King_Stannis, post: 292599, member: 324"] I am really enjoying that Comedy Central Show “Crank Yankers”. Being a fan of the prank phone call from wayyy back in my childhood, I think it was a fantastic idea for a show. Incidentally, my favorite “Yankers” are Bobby Fletcher and Tony Deloge (Super Dave Osborne). For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, Crank Yankers is a show where they get comedians to make real prank calls to people and they then reenact those calls with puppets. The result is, in my opinion, comedy gold. Were any of you crankers? Me and my friends were, big time. One of my favorites was calling up a guy named Frank Abel. When he answered I pretended I was a german named Ernst Zell (Marathon Man) and that I was awaiting a huge delivery of nazi gold. I told this guy he had the loot in his basement, under his floor. Though I doubt he ever did, I used to chuckle at thoughts of some old-timer ripping up his basement floor looking for hidden nazi gold. We did some others, too. In fact I seem to remember a summer between 8th and 9th grade of doing calls almost weekly. Man that was fun. What about you? Do you like Crank Yankers?
