* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: "[[https://youtu.be/6_0CTad1WUU Gladys Calls a Psychic]]" can be seen as this. Of course, the whole point of the phone call was just to waste the psychic's time because her business was an obvious scam. However, Gladys [[ThrowTheDogABone throws the psychic a bone]] by making up a scenario where all her "readings" turn out to be accurate. Throughout the call, the psychic is audibly ecstatic, believing she correctly guessed the PIN number of a dead person's bank account, as well as thier HBO Go password for good measure.

I'm not sure if the original series had this disclaimer. Clips of the show is surprisingly hard to find..


** Though the thing is Jimmy Kimmel's own kids (Kevin and Katie) who were 10 and 12 respectively also participated in the show having made their own prank calls and they also used profanity, Katie even pretended to be a drunk alcoholic.

* ValuesDissonance: While Special Ed was a popular character during the series' original run, he would likely be considered an ableist caricature by today's standards. In fact, that was precisely why [[https://www.avclub.com/crank-yankers-crawls-out-of-the-past-wisely-leaves-one-1838375350 he was excluded from the series revival in 2019]].

* EarWorm: The theme song is extremely catchy and has the feel of a theme song of an actual kids show, the reboot heightens this by being actually sung by children
* [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids What Do You Mean, It's Not For Kids?]]: On the one hand, puppets. On the other hand, one call had a woman prank a hardware store with an extended conversation about the "big tubes of caulk." Very much not for children. Also Cammie who appears nude or engaged in sexual intercourse almost always.
