Is Crank Yankers in fact the worst show to ever get past the pilot?

I am watching this for the first time. Normally when a show is doomed to failure I feel somewhat sorry for those responsible for it. All their dreams dashed. But in this case the show is so torrentially awful that I feel no sympathy for anybody. I can't so much as crack even a slight grin. In fact I'm in a worse mood for having tried to watch it.

It's like an awful version of jerky boys. Puppets making unfunny prank calls. It's AWFUL.

I just switched to father of the pride. I've seen that show before. Damn, it's really a tossup. Both are so horrible in their own way. This is really unusual actually that I've been exposed to two utterly horrific massacres in the same relatively short period of time.

I would have to say that "Wanda Does it" Doesn't do it for me. That shows isn't well known because everyone knows it sucks. And Wanda Sykes is a stupid Idiot who shou;d burn in hell and get her ass out of hollywood. </anger>

I've laughed a couple times....now i just don't watch it though. The Special Ed ones are about the only entertaining ones IMO...not that i've seen one other than the "I'VE GOT MAIL!" one.

I can't disagree with that.

An example of real comic genius is Reno 911. Hell even my PARENTS found that funny.

Not much to say about Crank Yankers. However, Girls Behaving Badly is a pretty good show. :)

Yes, I like the dreamy male officer in the nice short, shorts. :Q

Never heard of that. Thank God :)

Yep an ABC musical. All I remember is one number where the cuffed a perp, and promptly broke into song - something like "You're going to jail."

Inspired.

Crank Yankers doesn't even come close. It is not even in the same galaxy. It is not even the worst show on now.

That sounds really beyond compare, I agree.

yeah, its a crappy show.

when it first came on about 3 years ago it was *sort of* amusing. the novelty wore off quickly.

i watched part of an episode a few months ago, its like the puppets have taken over and they have officially ran out of ideas for their 'prank calls'. its more visual gags, it seems.

a puppet that spews vomit, now, thats pure comic gold. :confused:
