Willie "Junkyard Willie" Robinson is a two-time Crank Yanker on the show.
In spite of not being a prank caller so much as a call receiver who turns the call into a prank call, he is classified as a Crank Yanker nonetheless.
Background[]
Willie Robinson is a fat African-American man who has a deep voice. In the show, he is depicted as working for the YPS (Yankerville Parcel Service) as either a customer service representative or the manager. Either way, YPS is a cover-up for the UPS which real-life customers thought was the UPS but called in anyways but dialing a wrong number that was one-digit off the actual UPS numbers.
Willie is very lazy at his job, only answers customers' calls to shift the blame on them for whatever problems they have, is extremely rude, disrespectful, badmouthed, and more than willing to turn a phone conversation into an aggressive scream showdown. He does not react intimidated at all when customers start badmouthing or shouting at him; he just gets annoyed and asks them to "Calm yo' ass down."
Willie sometimes tend to use the terms "Jive turkey," "Hula-hoop-eyed," and "Chicken neck."
Trivia[]
- While most Crank Yankers recorded their calls in Nevada because it is legal to do prank calls there, Willie's voice actor Pete Dzoghi is stationed in California and did the prank calls from home. This was a legal loophole in that the calls were incoming calls and thus not subject to the same regulations.
