Discipline. They need structure and consistency. Have a plan, set the expectations, and stick with it.
It won't be easy, but how many years has it taken to get them to this point?

1. Change their diet: cut out their sugars, processed food, read ingredients.
2. Cut way back on TV and Game Play.
3. Plan activities.
4. Assign Chores.
5. Make consequences for their actions clear from the beginning and follow through with the discipline.
I have also heard of some moms giving allowance to the kids at the beginning of the week in change. Every time you have to discipline them they have to give you money back. If they argue about it, it is more. What ever is left over at the end of the week is their allowance. Soon they will figure out it pays to be good.

How old are they? and define out of control? and crazy?
You need to set limits and consquences if they break the rules. Be consistent, not just sometimes they get in trouble and other times they don't.
My son is eight and he tests us every once in a while, but knows darn well that if he goes TOO far then he will be punished. Punishment depends on what he has done, he has been sent to his room, privileges have been taken away (no Gameboy, or play dates cancelled) etc.
If I say I am going to do something I always follow though, don't make empty threats that they know you aren't going to make good on.

Well I got 4 of them that are that way to!!! I shut there asses down seperate them and leave them that way for a hour or so then they usually melow out. But alot of people need to change the foods and diet there children are on. Some kids are so crazy cause they are so high on all the crap thats in there bodies they are crazy. We don't buy stuff with corn syrup its crack for kids, they don't hardly ever get soda and all the other drinks for kids. Along with all the crap and junk food out there for kids to eat. With my kids I also take away stuff they like, TV, computer, heelys, there friends. I have found that when I cut them no slack they act better than if you let them get out of line.

Depends on the ages and number of kids. My daughter is 6 and when she is having a fit and acting crazy, I just start acting like her. This usually stops right. When she is done acting up then I stop and she says something like I really looked silly. If she doesn't then I ask her if I looked silly, the answer is yes, and then she stops. We then find something together for her to do.

When did this start, I'm sure they have been out of control for a long time. You can't wait until they get older and think that you can change their behavior. Discipline should start as soon as they are old enough to understand the consequences of their behavior. You need some help, I hope for both you and your kids sake that you get it.

It depends on the ages.
Smaller ones crave regular routine and I have noticed that when some families change theirs, or do not have a consistent one the kids get that way.
Try only addressing only things that really matter. That might help them to listen when you do talk.
Sometimes I think it is impossible to gain control. LOL

Depending on how old there are, you could do several things, my 6yr old, gest a butt busting and no activies outside our house (for example: no going to mamows for the weekend, no movies, no zoo trip, no friends, etc...) Grounding them for weeks (which in most cases turns into punishment for the parents), or strip their rooms of everything but the bed and dresser with clothes.
I have cancelled trips because of my daughters behavior, and have taken trip and made her stay with a relative while we were gone, (kids hate this and get a clue, mom and dad meant what they said)

Structure, structure, structure. Be a parent - not a friend. Set rules and consequences. Stick to them. They younger the children are when you do this, the better they will eventually behave. Watch Nanny 911 or sign up for the program.

Make 'em feel guilty. This works only if they're really concerned about your emotions though, it probably wouldn't have any effect on young kids or maybe even emoangsty teenagers.
Yell at them. Make them feel scared.
Ignore them.
(This comes from a kid who never listens. Those few methods worked- the first few times.)
