Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been a casual fan of Crank Yankers for a while, but why not put the whole season in one box set? Comedy Central has really been trying their hardest to cash in on their top shows at the consumer's expense, and it's apparently not going to stop here. This Yankerville collection is okay, despite that one obvious flaw, in that the second season is when the true wit of the show came into full form. We all know and love good ole Special Ed and love god Niles Standish (Don Knotts, move over), of which the inclusion of these skits are a standout. That, plus we get to see Mitch Hedburg calling shots.
Speaking of, where are the extras at? There is nothing "extra" about the special features on these discs. A couple of "unaired" calls to throw the dog a bone are here and little else, making me feel like I was cheated of the DVD experience. If you're a hardcore fan, then you might want to buy this, but for folks like me who simply get a kick out of the show while it's on, we might as well stick to cable. I will not be purchasing any future releases of Crank Yankers, not even volume two (which should be the best of the season, if memory serves me correctly).

Genre: Television, Comedies, Series, Comedy, Puppets, Television, Recommended, Reality-Based (Tv), Cable Tv/Cable Tv Shows, Comedians/Comediennes, Comedy Skits, Television Shows, Television/TV Series Description: Comic provocateurs Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla (THE MAN SHOW) unleash another blast of politically-incorrect humor with their Comedy Central series CRANK YANKERS. Like a visual companion to The Jerky Boys, CRANK YANKERS finds Kimmel, Carolla, and several of their comedian friends--among them Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes, Tracy Morgan, and David Cross--making real prank phone calls to unsuspecting individuals and businesses while puppets act out the scenario on screen. With ample doses of outrageous improvisation and a cast of recurring characters that includes the lascivious Spoonie Luv, confused senior citizen Elmer Higgins, cantankerous war veteran Dick Birchum, and, of course, mentally challenged teen Special Ed, CRANK YANKERS parlays the bastions of bad taste into oddly compelling hilarity. This collection includes the first 15 episodes of season two. Release Notes: DVD Features: Region 1 Keep Case 2-Disc Set Full Frame - 1.33
