Dirty Old Man: Niles Standish, a rich British earl, he likes to do things like calling up a woman who does calligraphy and try to have her make up an invitation for "an ass-slapping competition.".Dirty Cop: The show's intro depicts a police officer partaking in prank calls himself, let alone uses an emergency call box to do so.Double Entendre: Elmer one time called a bus terminal to tell them he lost his pacemaker in one of their buses and tells the call receiver "You stole my heart!".He normally closes with "Get it?" which can easily kill the other jokes he tells.He explained the "Wife who puts man in doghouse will soon find him in cathouse" joke in two words when closing. The short Confucius sketches where he tells a classic dirty joke.Turns out, Katie never owned a hamster and she made up the whole story. Crying Wolf: Invoked by the crank callers often, but a case of (fake) crying comes up in a Season 2 episode where Katie Kimmel called a pet store to tell the receptionist that she sold her brother (Kevin) a snake and that it ate her hamster, crying on the phone and calling the receptionist a son-of-a-bitch and threatening to " kick her in the balls".

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 prank calls are re-enacted, cutting between the rooms of each end of the call (usually with lots and lots of Background Gags going on). It was revived in 2019 for a Season 5 and again in 2020 for a Season 6. Crank Yankers is a live-action and puppet show that used to air on Comedy Central and also for a brief time on MTV2 co-created by Daniel Kellison, Adam Carolla and the far better-known Jimmy Kimmel.
