Does anyone love this show as much as I do?

Posted by: NatasNJ

My wife laughs more at the puppets than the calls.
She is crazy...

I think they do a fantasic job with the puppets.

I've only watched 1 episode and I only found half of that funny.

I say 2 minutes before this gets moved to the ghetto.

I've watched a few eps. I'd say about 20% of the calls are funny. The rest of them I skip.

I recorded the premiere and wasn't into it much at all. I've considered giving it another chance, but have more than enough on my TiVo to keep me busy recently.

The ghetto?

The TV Talk forum, which I like, but some don't.

didn't even know it was there. My apologies.

I've seen a few episodes. I thought a few of them were somewhat funny, but it's not something I would make a point to watch.

Don't worry about it. You're allowed as you're new, it's kind of buried.

I watched the first episode and liked it, watched the second and deleted the SP. The puppets are cool, but the prank call thing has been done better by others. I posted a thread after the first show and the response to the show seemed to be overwhelmingly negative.

I'd MUCH rather watch bobcarn's outfits than Crank Yankers. :) I think I might enjoy CY with the sound off... I'll have to try that.

Some of the calls are good. Some are lame. But the puppets are funny. Still waiting to see the "I've got mail. Yay!!" call acted out. I guess I'll ned to set a SP for it and hope to catch it on a re-run.

The one's with that character "Special Ed" are actually the worst. 3 people that I think are especially funny.

1) Guy who intercepts incoming calls on behalf of businesses
2) Niles Standish
3) Hadassah

I watched one of the shows (not the premiere, I don't think). It was amusing, but not really funny.

Posted by: AndyK

Watched the first episode, thought it was just barely worth an SP. Watched the second episode, realized I was wrong and deleted the SP.

I loved the Ups calls. Also Dane Cook's character, I don't remember his name, but he did a telephone game show.

I love Special Ed, and quote him all the time!! :)

Mostly, I do it to bug my BF. His dad's name is Ed, and that's his nickname.

What does Spoonie Luv mean by "gotta have the badonk-a-donk butt?"
