1* One episode features Special Ed making a call to NASA; after some time, the receptionist realized this was a ''Crank Yankers'' call. Special Ed, or at least the actor who played him, performed a subtle congratulations to her for [[FourthWallObserver being the first person to realize what was going on]].
2* Creator/WandaSykes was a recurring guest star, and one of her calls was to a video store, saying that she rented a movie for her kid's birthday party, put it on and left the room for a few minutes, only to come back and realize that the video was accidentally switched with a hardcore porno.
3* Many of the [[FunnyBackgroundEvent background gags]], which were very well thought-out even sometimes when the calls themselves weren't very entertaining.
4* Spoonie Luv Places a Personal
5--> '''Lady at the Village Voice''': You can't put that in your ad; you can't put that in print.
6* "We get to drink booze over here if we wanna. It's Saturday."
7* "Hits a Deer," in which Bobby Fletcher is supposedly in a car accident while talking on the phone with someone from the electric company about his bill. He claims that he hit a deer, but you can hear someone moaning and shouting in pain in the background the whole time. Finally...
8-->'''Bobby''': Okay, listen, between us two... it wasn't a deer.
