Trivia

Before any episodes aired and the show was still being written, the original title of the series was 'Prank Puppets', but a Comedy Central lawyer approached executive producer Adam Carolla and said that the show's name would have to be changed. She said the title (despite the premise of the show) 'implied spite and malice' and that it was a 'legal liability'. Neither Adam, nor the rest of the crew really believed that argument, but they reluctantly changed the name anyway. See more »

Stupid but occasionally funny
15 January 2004 | by (Helsinki, Finland) – See all my reviews

A stupid concept, but some of the skits manage to be funny. One that springs to mind is a guy calling to a phone sex line for his deaf friend who wants the call girl to yell to the phone in Chinese while his friend places the phone on his balls. Yeah, it's stupid, but if you're tired you'll laugh.
