  • Favorite Character?

    Who are your favorite characters? Mine are Special Ed, Bobby Fletcher, and Jimmy Kimmel and his kids. They are always making me laugh. Elmer is kinda funny too.

  • Most Annoying Character?

    Who's the most annoying character in Crank Yankers? I think Niles (Whatever the hell his last name is)  is  super  annoying 'cuz he keeps saying "yes yes" all the time and asking others to repeat it. I also hate him, cuz he is one of the most sick minded, disturbing individuals I've ever seen.

    2.2 Terrible

    Probobly the worst show i've seen CC come out with i a long time. hide « show »

    Jimmy Kimmel should probobly let his wife Sarah Silverman do the comedy from now on. This show is for people with very simple and boring taste. The last time i heard a prank call was probobly when i was 12, and i was most likely not that impressed by the concept. This show gets mistaken for comedy becouse, well, not everybody, including myself, aren't all shakesspears. we like retarded comedy and really that's cool. But i can't seem to get myself to laugh for anything this pretty retenitve show does. Maybe Jimmy should bring back the man show, then he'll be back on my good side.

    2.5 Terrible

    Oh you've gotta be kidding me,PUPPETS?! hide « show »

    Gah,this show stinks so bad,a skunk would run away faster than a roadrunner.The comedy is dry,it's horribly animated,why did they even bother making this crap?I don't belive that this thing should get high rarings because it's terrible.Heck,I don't think it even deserves to be on the air.I've seen good comedies like Fawlty Towers,Mr.Bean,Bottom,etc.Now those are wild and hilarious.This,I should say no.I mean,bad comedy,horrible animation,and hideous puppets anyone?The puppets are so ugly,it's not even funny.The facial expressions make me feel like barfing.I guess there are the comedies that are funny,and the dry ones like this one.All in all,I give it a 2.5/10

    8.2 Great

    wow! hide « show »

    wow! this show has off the wall comedy. ever caracter made every part a stich in a even greater episode. Crank Yankers was one of the best shows on tv, when i found out it was cancelled i was shocked. I would bet any money that special ed (mine and everyone elses favorite character) probally caused a huge contrvesy and they needed to cancel the show. This show helps retarded people learn how to make the best prank phone calls (not that im retarded or any thing). This show has some amazingly funny jokes and needs to be brought back.

    There's nothing I can say, the show speaks for itself. hide « show »

    Crank Yankers was one of the best cartoon, under South Park, in my opinion, to ever appear on Comedy Central. I don't know why they cancelled the show. I don't even think they announced the cancellation of the show. Viacom overall has made some tough, but wrong decisions, and I'm glad they indirectly are bringing back new episode to Comedy Central's sister station, MTV2. I would always love to watch this show for a bedtime laugh before I turned in, and Comedy Central will pay for the lost in the long run. Crank Yankers is well ahead of its time from its stupidity to the puppets themselves, the show is perfect and original, and the form of viewing picture is good also considering the show.
