In season 2 episode 15 of Crank Yankers, comedian David Alan Grier and stunt performer Super Dave Osborne join the prank phone call fun. The episode features the usual cast of voice actors, including Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, and Tracy Morgan, as they use puppets to prank unsuspecting people.
One of the first calls in this episode involves a woman who believes she has won a contest for a free home makeover. However, the puppet on the other end of the line is trying to convince her to make some rather unconventional design choices, including transforming her living room into a jungle and installing a large fountain in her bedroom.
Another call features Super Dave Osborne as a restaurant owner who has a rather unique menu item for a customer looking for a vegetarian option. When the customer asks if the dish is meat-free, Super Dave responds by saying it is "virtually" meat-free because the cow was merely "stunned" instead of being killed outright.
David Alan Grier makes an appearance as the puppet character Elmer, who is looking for a job as a radio host. He calls a radio station and proceeds to deliver a rather unusual audition, complete with awkward silences and bizarre sound effects.
In one of the more outrageous pranks of the episode, a puppet named Bobby calls a tattoo parlor and attempts to schedule an appointment to get an obscene image tattooed on his rear end. The tattoo artist is understandably hesitant to comply, but Bobby is persistent in his request.
Throughout the episode, there are also a number of shorter calls featuring various puppets and voice actors playing pranks on unsuspecting targets. These range from a puppet named Gladys attempting to sell a "personal massager" over the phone to a man who believes he has won a free vacation to Hawaii.
Overall, season 2 episode 15 of Crank Yankers provides plenty of laughs and outrageous pranks. With guest appearances from David Alan Grier and Super Dave Osborne, as well as the talented cast of regular voice actors, this episode is sure to keep viewers entertained from start to finish.
