Crank Yankers aired from June 2002 until 2005 and from February 2007-? on Comedy Central and MTV2.
Most people consider prank phone calls an annoyance , but on this series they were the joke. A wide range of comedians made crank calls to unsuspecting ordinary people and the results were then used on the show with the callers( and victims) portrayed by foam puppets living in the strange town of Yankerville. Among its inhabitants were gross disc jockey The Nudge ( voiced by Jimmy Kimmel) who called a 7-11 employee and convinced him to scream " I peed in the surplee machine!"; Birchum ( Adam Carolla), an angry war veteran looking for a job; Elmer ( Jimmy Kimmel), an old coot who called for a hearing aid but couldn't hear the salesperson; Bobby( Jim Florentine), who called about a job but kept belching throughout the conversation; Tony ( Bob Einstein), a canadate for district selectman who offended everyone, and Spoonie Luv( Tracy Morgan), a cool black dude who called a very proper flower shop to dictate an obscene greeting card to his ex. Among the guest stars making calls were Jack Black, David Alan Grier and Kevin Nealon.
Interspersed with the calls were short visual jokes such as a Chinaman with a large gong announcing " Confucious say : girl who sits on judges's lap get honorable discharge." Gong!
Crank Yankers was created by those princes of puerile humor, Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel, who were also responsible for the Man Show. Reportedly all calls used were made in Nevada, the only state where harassment prosecution is not possible.
