You can see how this could go wrong, can't you? I Can't Hear You: Elmer tries to make an appointment to get hearing aids.
Hypocritical Humor: Elmer (old man character) called a cable provider and complained about a show featuring "sick, puppet things". Funny Background Event: Sometimes the gags going on in the background are actually funnier than the contents of the calls themselves. Early Installment Weirdness: The first season featured a different 'Cammie' who was blind, has curly blonde hair, and was accompanied by a seeing-eye dog.
He normally closes with "Get it?" which can easily kill the other jokes he tells. He explained the "Wife who puts man in doghouse will soon find him in cathouse" joke in two words when closing. Don't Explain the Joke: The short Confucius sketches where he tells a classic dirty joke. Candid Camera Prank: A variant, as the show consists of re-enactments, but it's the same idea. Bear Trap Bed: Featured in one segment. However, this made taping and broadcasting episodes fairly uneven due to many of the celebrities being based in California. So, nearly all the calls are made in Nevada. except for Nevada, which only requires one (i.e., the callers). In the U.S., it is illegal to record and broadcast prank calls without both parties' consent. The victims and pranksters are played by Muppet-esque puppets. The premise: transcripts of real crank calls are re-enacted, cutting between the rooms of each end of the call (usually with lots and lots of Background Gags going on). PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.Ĭrank Yankers is a live-action and puppet show that used to air on Comedy Central.
DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
