As a young person, I don't really remember this, but there's social media and e-sports involved so I'm in, thank god the Comedy Central execs know what digitally driven audiences like me want /s
Young people just don't answer the phone if it's from a number they don't recognize, because 99% of the calls I get are bots, you crusty old fuck
did you not know that sucking my dick is a serious offense, punishable by fuck you
Haha there is so much on the original show that won't fly today. Some of that shit was classic though and still holds up today.
Well GOP do when their guy is running against a black candidate but that is a different thing
show was funny for like 2 episodes back in the day, I don't really know who would miss it besides Eminem.
Prank phone calls peaked with Richard and Sal's phone calls to Tradio and Public Access shows on Howard Stern.
no joke I work at a starbucks and a kid called the other day and asked for a dick smoothie with extra cum
One of the main targets before was customer service people.
They'd be easier targets these days, maybe TOO easy.
So good. Kinda feel like it had a perfect run though? I don't really need more of it, it ran its course and ended before it got stale. Like I don't think you can take that premise much farther than it got.
yesss. Insomniac was amazing. I was just a kid watching that show but it was by far my favorite on CC
Definitely. I think it had a good run though.
People who are the age of the callers on the original show started that, so 'grats on acting like on old man, I guess.
Insomniac was great, still have the episode where he came to the former Funny Bone club in Boise on tape that I recorded like 15 years ago.
"That" referring to not picking up the phone because of bots? I used to usually pick up the phone up until a few years ago, robocalls didn't become an exponentially bigger problem until recently.
Holy shit, I considered starting a "anyone remember Phil Hendrie's show?" thread but figured nobody here knew the guy. So hilarious.
Yes, there's still a market for prank calls on YouTube. Immigrants, businesses, the old and less tech savvy are all common targets of prank calls online.
"That" being not picking up calls from unknown numbers.
It started being a thing way before bots. I started doing it when my first cell phone plan had a limited number of minutes.
Like I said, way to be behind the curve, kid.
Nah man. Call a time out and think about how bad an idea this is. Gen Z might still do this stuff, but it just ain't the same. And I remember the original show being a too unPC to fly in today's climate.
"[The puppets will be] pranking on phones, social media, e-sport platforms and any venue where trouble can be made."
Can't wait for their section where they shit talk someone on Fortnite
Jeez what a mess, of all the things to bring back...

Yep. i still remember calling into the show being pissed off because "JAY SANTOS" (citizens police) was doing a flare drop, to check in the back of black peoples trunks because "you never know what they got in there." --- Months later, i found out what/who Phil it was at work listening to some mp3s..
