Summary of "Season 2, Volume 2 (Best Buy/Canadian Exclusive) - Don't Crank Me!": I thought some of these calls were better than the ones in pervious seasons. Maybe I'm so used to the characters that I can see their personalities emerge in the calls. I really like the Kimmel kids, probably because they say such nasty things for children.
I thought the Eminem call to "Ed" was great, and it'll too bad it wasn't finished to include the puppet actors.
This is a funny show, and I enjoyed the calls on this set more than the previous ones. (read entire review)
Season 2, Volume 1 - I'm gonna crank you! (4/03/2005)
Summary of "Season 2, Volume 1 - I'm gonna crank you!": I like this show, but in small doses (maybe 5 episodes at a time). I'd love some commentary tracks with the callers, and the puppet masters for the episodes, since we don't have a lot of bonus material on the discs. It wouldn't have to be every episode, maybe half or so (see, I'm not asking for much at all), but it would be fun to hear what everyone has to say about the segments. I'm not sure what to think about the missing episode (the "best of season 2"). If it's all recycled material then it doesn't make sense to include it, but it was an aired episode and should be included on a set for the completists. (read entire review)
Season 1 - Uncensored - Don't answer the phone... (10/02/2004)
Summary of "Season 1 - Uncensored - Don't answer the phone...": I enjoyed the show overall, though some of the calls were kinda lame. I like the style of it; a blending of 3D animation for outdoor scenes, and puppets for the actual calls. I recently watched Greg the Bunny, another show to feature puppets, and I think this does a better job of depicting mean puppets in funny situations. Why do vulgar words seem funnier when it's a puppet saying them?
If you've never seen Crank Yankers before then you should consider renting this set. Fans will undoubtedly pick it up. (read entire review)
