OK, the first one sucked, but they are getting a lot better.  Tonights was pretty funny.

The waste management one was great.

Nah, it\'s actually getting better.  You just don\'t know quality television...  :)

Yes I do. I watch quality shows like the Man Show (oh shit, it was on tonight), South Park, Simpsons, ect. :)

Its the biggest load of crap ever. Who wants to see puppets prank call other puppets? Not to mention that the prank calls aren\'t funny.

I\'m just saying that the first one sucked, but they are getting better.  Actually really there is probably one good call in each show.  So tecnically they have one good show if they lumped the good ones together.  But it\'s entertaining none-the-less.

This is one of the worst television shows I have ever seen.

Vid I\'m gonna be the one to kiss your ass here and agree with you 100%. Calling the show, "hilarious" is an understatement.

Never seen it... I think it looks stupid. None of the pranks from the previews looked funny at all. Maybe they\'ll smarten up and hire some pro prankers or at least someone who\'s funny.. like the Jerky Boys or whoever did that Dildo Recall prank on the housewife. (The mp3 is floatin around the net somewhere) That was hilarious.

I hope you mean classic Simpsons and not the utter tripe the show has become.

finally someone else who thinks puppets are not funny.  Damnmit i hate that show, there all staged calls anyway.  I mean they have jimmy kimbal doing half of them...maybe if they were random people who had funny voices....but seriously why portray them as puppets.

i take it this is some show only only on in the usa??

It\'s on Comedy Central.


Jimmy Kimmel does one per show.  Big deal.

The chick, Sarah Silverman is great.  Also Tracey Morgan.  THey do one per show, but you don\'t complain about that.


How the heck are they staged?  What are you talking about?

I\'ve watched one and I thought the UPS one was pretty funny.  I\'d watch it again.

They have done the UPS thing twice.  They must have a phone number a digit off or something.
