Yeah... fucking terrible... Doombrain posted a bunch of these before.
It's just not funny at all... it's hidious and stupid and i'd much rather watch a powerpoint presentation on the prognoses of the salescycle for the next fucking quarter than to be confronted with any more of this completely brainless, profoundly unfunny shit.

Why does this have to be an America vs. UK thing? TV aimed at the masses sucks. Period.

i had the crank yankers calls before i actually saw the show and the calls were funny. once i saw the show though... the muppets completely fuck up the funny, why, why use muppets? the fuck? can't even listen to em anymore without having crappy muppet flashbacks.

What's not to like? It's taking the piss out of people in a reasonably subtle way and it's fucking hilarious

Right...I've seen those before. Reminded me of "The Jerky Boys" which is still the best when it comes to prank phonecalls.

Just what I thought, too...
And Jerky Boys was loooong ago, so this if we're talking about English vs American, than these guys are too little too late.

The best prank calls ever were the trucker tapes. With C&C Auto, and the boot store and the rest.
Nothing better than a prank call where you threaten to drive to the place of business and "somebody's ass could get whooped over this."
"You sold me the rim and now my whole suspension is messed up. Seems to me if a man's gonna sell me something and tell me it's good, then it ought to be good. Don't you stand by what you sell?"
"We stand by what we sell. We don't guarantee the whole fuckin car ya dummy."
"Well I might just have to come down there then. What time you get off?"
"Five O'Clock. And I live here too."
Ah, I gotta find those again.

Two ronnies - sheer brilliance. Four candles is hilarious
Mastermind sketch is their most famous and undoubtedly their most ingenious.
