Two lowlifes from Queens(Johnny G. Brennan and Kamal) are going nowhere. They make prank calls day in and day out using their various voice talents. But one day they call the wrong number and get the mob. They use it to their advantage and pretend to be involved using the hundreds of different prank characters. But once the mob figures out that they are just low lives they have to once again use their funny skills to get out of it.
