Crank Yankers

Reviewed by:

Hold the phone. The former Comedy Central puppet pranksters have moved networks, but not before stuffing their U-Hauls full of funny. Now beginning its fourth season of cold-calling comedy, the premise remains constant: Priceless crank calls are reenacted with puppet thespians. Yankers can still summon to the phones comedy brilliance like Sarah Silverman and classic characters like Jim Florentine's belching Bobby Fletcher, while also welcoming creative cameos from cartoonish rappers like Lil Jon. Puppet humiliation and harassment don't come funnier than this. Scientology stress testers not included.
