I really judge Crank Yankers on each individual segment. Some of the calls are really funny. What I think the problem is with most of the sketches is that the person being cranked REALIZES they are being cranked halfway through the crank call, and that just sucks all the joy out of it. It's funny when they know they're being cranked called and they get really mad, but that almost never happens. Usually they just play along with it and that sucks.
I don't know why everyone hates Primetime Glick. To me it seems everyone says they hate it without watching it because everyone fucking hates Martin Short. Which is understandable because even though I think the show is funny, I still hate him.
What I really hated about Don't Forget your Toothbrush is that these people were supposed to do really outrageous, embarrassing things to win prizes, but the things they had to do weren't that bad. They were things like "hang upside down" or "dress up like a baby and talk to people." It was like a PG-rated Jackass game show. It would still suck if they had the contestants actually do interesting shit, but the fact that they didn't just made it that much worse.
