Crank Yankers (2002–2022)
2/10
It was a show of its time

I don't understand why they brought this show back. I remember when it had first come out, back in the early 2000's. Those were very different times. The show was funny and yes it wasn't keen on political correctness; many comedy shows and movies from this time weren't. This is why the show should've stayed as a show from the early 2000's, it doesn't work in today's world. Not even because it's politically incorrect, if anything it's so obvious how careful they're being with not crossing the line too far - which doesn't do the original version of this show any justice. I've watched 2 episodes and it's just not funny, I haven't laughed once. Whereas in the original series they had me laughing, most of the time - mind you I was an elementary school child so that's probably why I found it so funny. If you want to give this show a try, I'd visit the original series from the early 2000s. Going from the latest season wouldn't be fair because it isn't what it used to be at all.

On a side note, I don't understand how the character that's an old eccentric rich guy with a trans-Atlantic accent was considered funny by some people, enough to bring him back on the reeboot. He wasn't funny then and he's not funny now, his calls were boring and trying too hard to push the envelope.

Just cancel the series and leave it as it was, a memory from a time gone by.
