The last few weeks I just recently got Comedy Central, and I'm getting use to the line up. This is my 3rd fave show on CC having South Park,and Beat the Geeks in 1st and 2nd. The entire cast of Characters are hillouris as hell. My fave characters are Special Ed,Spoonie Luv,Mooshu, Bobby Fletcher,and Hadassah.

This show gets funnier each week. :D

I just can't get into this show. The calls aren't so funny. The only people good enough to make this work would have been the two low-life's from queens. Oh well, CC seems to get worse and worse all the time. It's sad that a network that used to house UCB, Stranger's With Candy, Dr. Katz, MST3K, Bob and Margaret, and many more could sink so low.

I don't like Crank Yankers. It's just kinda boring, I watched it a couple times, but never got into it. My favorites are Beat the Geeks, The Daily Show, and South Park respectively in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd.

By the way, after next week, CC weekdays are supposed to get a huge schedule revamp. 5:00 has Beat the Geeks, 5:30 has the Daily Show, SNL airs at 6:00, and Conan O' Brian airs at 7:00. Remember that, it's kinda important (I can't watch G-Gundam anymore and hate it).

Hey, Thanks for telling me the new time solt for Beat the Geeks when Conan comes to CC because I was kinda wondered what time solt will they give Beat The Geeks,and The Daily Show. The Daily Show is my 4th fave show. Sorry, I have to get that off my chest.

CC has indeed gone down in quality. All we have now that's worth watching is old re-runs of SNL and old re-runs of Kids In The Hall. South Park is great, occasionally.

Crank Yankers is okay..

Is it true that Mitch Hedberg is in it somewhere? I thought I saw a puppet of him in the show once...

I'm with most of you on the whole Crank Yankers thing. CC has really gone downhill (W/the exception of Beat the Geeks). I miss the Tick, Dr. Katz, et. all. Poddy humor is getting REALLY old.

crank yankers is embarrasing to prank calls. maybe i and the rest of the world just feels that way because we've heard the awesome brann calls. that's humor right there.

I love this show. Although. some of the calls can be just plain stupid. But the others make up for them. This show is hilarious.

I laugh out loud at the show constantly but I'm not proud of it! There, I said it. Anything Jimmy and Adam do is most often funny. And Birchum the vet is my favorite.


But if I were to say goodbye to this show for days past like the Tick, Dr. Katz, and all the other shows mentioned, I would do it quicker than you could even get to ask me about it.

Strangers With Candy was my absolute favorite show a few years ago... It was hilarious! I don't really like CY, I find it kinda boring o.o;; Everytime it's on I fall asleep XP

Conan is coming to Comedy Central! That is great!

I too can't get into "Crank Yankers". I never found found prank calls to be funny, excluding the telemarketing-busting antics of Tom Mabe. The only stuff I like on CC currently is "Beat the Geeks", "The Daily Show", "Contest Searchlight", and the movie Airheads, which they seem to show constantly. Still, I am really looking forward to Conan next week as well as Mike Lombardi's (from "Contest Searchlight") show "Jesus and the Gang", starring Peter Gallagher.
