The first season is split across two discs, with five episodes on each. The fact that they are being dropped by puppets makes it funnier in a way, working along the lines of how South Park has children cursing.
I really didn't think the bleeping was a big deal, but some people enjoy an F-bomb caressing their ear. It's odd to see that the puppet makers included nipples on their felt creations, but if you wondered what that was like, this set is the way to go. The big selling point of this set is that it's uncensored, which means that all the puppet nudity that was blurred and the cursing that was bleeped, is included in its untouched form. Small interstitials serve as transitions between the various locales of fictional Yankerville. The shows fly by, at 22 minutes a piece, with six or seven calls in each, some longer than others. Some of the best segments of the show came during the first season, including the sweetly-retarded Special Ed (Jim Florentine) calling tech support, creating the show's signature cry of "I got mail! Yay!", Sav Macauley of The Phone Zone (Dane Cook) calling a crazy military man and Shavin (Dave Chappelle) trying to book the Wu-Tang Clan rooms at a bed-and-breakfast. The quality of the calls can be hit or miss, depending on the responses by "The Mark," but on a whole, they tend to be pretty good. The calls are rarely abusive, as the jokes tend to be more fun and goofy, which raises the show above the level of The Jerky Boys.
The premise is simple, as Kimmel, Adam Corolla and a crew of guest comics, including Kevin Nealon, Jim Florentine, Billy West and Tracy Morgan, act out a cast of outrageous characters calling people and harrassing them. Who could have bet against that formula? Jimmy Kimmell ("The Jimmy Kimmel Show", The Man Show") and his production partners didn't, turning their love of prank phone calls into one of Comedy Central's most popular shows.
as a form of called ''The Birchums'' but FOX refused to pick it up.Comics + Puppets + Crank Calls. When not airing prank calls, the show makes the puppets do raunchy explicit things such as go to gay bars, strip clubs, perform public sexual intercourse, enact racist stereotypes, etc. The victims and pranksters are played by Muppet-esque puppets. The premise: transcripts of real crank calls are re-enacted, cutting between the rooms of each end of the call (usually with lots and lots of BackgroundGags going on).
