I've looked at the first 2 videos in op and they are not very good. In fact one could say they are very bad.

I'm a hang glider, I've got a retro style, and I need some photographs taken.

For some ungodly reason a Crank Yankers reboot just dropped and it's boring as poo poo because nobody answers their phones anymore so they mostly have to call businesses and thanks to call monitoring people are too professional and restrained now to actually get angry at the callers so it's mostly just millionaire gen x comedians doing bits to depressed schlubs making just above minimum wage.

I’m always amazed by how many people never catch on that he’s using a voice effect even as he starts sounding like Max Headroom in space, wildly fluctuating between chipmunk and Satan and they still think they just have a “bad connection” and earnestly try to make sense of what he’s saying.

Also some people really need to settle down with threatening to shoot someone the second they get annoyed over the phone. Sometimes I worry about the safety of actual UPS drivers showing up at these angry lunatic’s homes.

phones lines are super low fidelity, the people he calls are hearing something way different from the audio that gets pump directly into an expensive recording setup.

also a lot of the super angry people are places that he's clearly called a ton of times already and then only put the last few on the cd.

Lol. I think that shitfaced “coding boot camp” graduate girl delivered the best comeback in the history of LPC calls.

“If you show up on my lawn with your hose, I’m gonna send 20 boot camp graduates after you and they’re gonna code your rear end so hard you’re never gonna walk again.”

she's saying "code your app so hard", op.

The people that get roped along are funny and all, but my favourite is the ones that go from 0-11 angerwise in 6 seconds flat.

a lot of those are pretty obviously people he's called tons of times in the past. he just edits out the buildup so it seems like the person is just a lunatic flipping out for no reason.

good example is the rope call where the guy goes ballistic the moment he hears the name "lloyd wabbit"

the super nintendo track always felt weird to me cause an old dude telling a suicidal child to walk to his house for a free nintendo feels less like ha ha prank phone call and more like someone grooming a kid. i get that thats the joke but uhhhh

I think about the kid saying "I plan to be... dead when I grow up" a lot.
