There Is No Such Thing As A Funny Prank

When a heckler calls in to a Christian community access talk show and the host can't hang up the phone, it's mildly funny for about two seconds, until the heckler just starts saying "faggot" over and over again, and the host tries to cover him up with beach rock and the pain of the next four minutes is basically excruciating. "Enjoy."

Why does the guy who calls in have to have that stupid fucking heckler/prankster voice? I suppose that to some extent intelligence and heckling/pranks are non-complimentary. Smart people have better things to do. Kind of. Never mind, smart people are equally lame. But it's a certain kind of stupidity that draws in the heckler/prankster. It's the stupidity of this man's voice. It says "hey, do you want to go eat a bunch of Taco Bell and roll all the windows up on your mom's car and fart in each other's mouths?" His voice says "if you didn't want me to draw a dick on your face in permanent marker, you would not have fallen asleep. Well I don't care if it was six in the morning, rules are rules."

Minus the uncreative and offensive repetition of the word "faggot," you have to admire the caller's steadfast dedication to ruining the show. He was probably stoned out of his mind. If that's the case, he did the most constructive activity possible, when most people just throw on Family Guy. Isn't that much worse?

Can anyone explain why this show is called "In Through the Out Door"? I am trying, and can't come up with any non-disgusting explanation for that title.

Did I hear a "Rickety Cricket" Always Sunny... reference? Man, that is one show where fans of the Jerky Boys and Zach Galifinakis have to uncomfortably sit together and applaud without making eye contact with each other.
The last minute of that call was pretty funny

I saw this this morning and I had the exact feelings towards it. This was really uncomfortable to watch.

I feel sick to my curly-fries-filled stomach.

He played Aldo Nova's "Fantasy" to drown out the caller. Awesome.

This is mean, but it also made me laugh so hard. Wow. They really need to learn how to work the phone.
