Susie Essman & Jim Florentine are the guests on episode 6 of Crank Yankers season 1. This episode features a unique combination of prank calls and puppetry. Comedians Susie Essman and Jim Florentine lend their voices to puppets such as Elmer Higgins, Bobby Fletcher, and Terrence Catheter.

The episode begins with a call from Terrence Catheter, a somewhat creepy-sounding man who calls a restaurant and orders a variety of meats. He is very specific about how he wants them cooked and seasoned, which makes the call increasingly bizarre. The restaurant employee tries to keep her cool while Terrence continues to push the limits of good taste.

Next up is Elmer Higgins, an old man who calls a store looking for a specific type of birthday card. The store employee tries to be helpful, but Elmer insists that he needs a card with a specific type of frog on it. The call goes from silly to absurd as Elmer becomes more and more insistent about the frog.

Bobby Fletcher is another puppet featured on this episode. He calls a store to ask about purchasing a stick. Not just any stick, though - specifically, a stick that he has seen in the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The store employee tries to explain that the stick doesn't actually exist, but Bobby remains determined to find it.

Another call features Elmer Higgins calling a television shopping network to inquire about a product called the "Clever Grip". The product is designed to hold a phone securely in a car, but Elmer is more interested in using it in other interesting places. The conversation quickly devolves into a series of sexual innuendos that leave the shopping network employee quite flustered.

Jim Florentine takes the lead for the next call, voicing a puppet named Special Ed. Special Ed calls a flower shop to ask about ordering a bouquet of flowers to send to his girlfriend. His girlfriend's name is Ima Hore, which results in some awkward moments for the flower shop employee as she tries to maintain professionalism.

Finally, Bobby Fletcher returns for a call to a music store. He's looking for a specific album by a band called "The Gargantuans", but the store employee is convinced that the band doesn't exist. Bobby proves him wrong by singing a few lines from their song "Hey Lady". The call ends on a hilarious note as the employee tries to come to grips with the fact that he has been bested by a puppet.

Overall, Susie Essman & Jim Florentine is a laugh-out-loud episode of Crank Yankers that features a variety of memorable prank calls. The puppetry adds an extra level of absurdity to the proceedings, resulting in some truly bizarre moments. This episode is a must-watch for fans of Crank Yankers or anyone looking for a good laugh.
