After taking a year off, a new ''Web Junk 20'' special premiered on January 11, 2008, " Junk 40: Best of the New Crap"'.


The Kid from Brooklyn/Web Ranter of the Week

In the first two seasons, a regular feature of the show were rants from Mike Caracciolo, better known as "The Kid from Brooklyn", called "The Big Man Minute." This man posts regular videos on his website about any and all subjects. His clips were in the number four spot, now commonly filled by different rants every week.
