  • The show opens with the words "The crank calls you are about to hear are real. The names have not been changed. Screw the innocent".
  • Australia Airdate:September 2nd 2002
  • 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.
  • Cast members must venture to Las Vegas to make their crank calls, because it is the only place such activity is legal.
