Prank calls

We’ve all gone through a stage where playing pranks on your friends seemed to be the highlight of your day.  Prank calling is usually on top of the prank list.  Rightly so, prank calls are hilarious but annoying for the other party.  But prank call ideas have become predictable and are not too much fun when the other party doesn’t get as annoyed as they used to.  Keep your prank call tactics fresh and new with these ideas.

Call your local restaurant and ask “do you have chicken fingers?”  If the person says yes, say “So how do you pick your nose?”  Then hang up.  Call back in a few minutes using a different voice and ask “do you have chicken fingers?”  When the person says yes, ask “what do you have on your feet, fish toes?”  You can keep on calling that restaurant over and over until you are satisfied.

Try your local convenience store or small grocery and ask “do you have dr. pepper in can?”  If they say yes answer with “you better let him out, he is needed in the emergency room.”  You can use this prank to all small groceries and stores around town.  You can also use other brands that have a name of a person on it and be creative on the punch lines.

When you get those annoying telemarketing calls, entertain the call and let them know that you are interested in what you are offering and then say that you are fewer than 18.  Wait until they are completely done with their offer.  Offer to put one of your parents on the phone and then tell the agent “can I put you on hold while I get my dad?”  Then start singing your heat out until they hang up.  Choose an annoying song and use the most out of tune voice you can muster.  If you have caller id, make sure you get the agent’s name so when they hang up, call them back.  Once you get the person on the phone, continue your song.  If they hang up, keep calling them back until you are done with the whole song.  That should take you off their calling list and just maybe on their most annoying prospect list.

A word of caution though, when you are calling business establishments, be careful because most of them have caller id.  Prank calling in the US and most countries are illegal and you might get in trouble if you are identified.  Use a public phone or a private number just to be sure.  It is not worth getting in trouble with the law.  Prank calling is so much fun when it is meant for simple enjoyment.

Who is a Prankster?

Prankster is a person who does pranks on other people.

Prank Call

My friends and I love to pull pranks on each other every now and then.  I have this one particular friend who gets off on our embarrassment.  He was good at it too.  I’d say he has honed that talent from years of practice and the guinea pigs are us, his friends.  So one day we all decided to give him a dose of his own medicine and recruited his wife’s help which she accepted happily.

Our friend Mark has pulled so many pranks on us, we have lost count.  So after going back and forth on different ideas, we decided that starting with a prank call is the perfect plan.  We know he won’t suspect it because he hardly does any prank calls, he has other ways.  So when he and his wife went out on a date, we went on ahead with the plan.  We ask this girl to call their house and leave a message saying “hey Mark, what the idea of not calling me back after everything that happened?  You can’t just sleep with someone and not call them back!  And I thought you were different.  Turns out, you are a jerk just like everyone else.  In fact you are the biggest jerk I have ever known.  You just used me for sex.  You said I’m beautiful and sexy, and I believed you because you kept coming back for more.  You are such a liar.  You can call and tell me straight that you don’t want to see me again?  What a jerk!  I hate you!!!”

We made the girl leave 2 more short messages with basically the same context.  When Mark and his wife return home their machine was blinking like crazy.  When they listened to the messages, his wife pretended to throw a fit and walked out of the house.  We were waiting at our favorite bar and had a little drinking session.  Our friend called his wife 27 times and also called us all leaving desperate messages asking for help.  By midnight, we decided to go back to his house and put him out of his misery.  When we got back to there, Mark was not there.  The babysitter said he went out to go and look for his wife.  After 30 minutes he came home looking disheveled and stressed.  He looked like he got hit by a bus, the poor guy!  When he came in, we greeted him with mischievous grins and smiles, his wife having the biggest grin of us all.  It took several seconds before it dawned on him that he just got pranked.  He was laughing but frustrated at the same time.  Now he knows how we all feel.

Until now, the prank is still the main topic of our Friday get-togethers.  It did not cure our friend from his pranks though.  But he mellowed down a bit.

On boring weekends when you have nothing else to do, a good sense of humor can certainly come in handy.  Making prank calls to your friends and other people in the neighborhood is a fun way to spend a good old boring weekend.  All you need is a telephone and phonebook.

Prank call

Here are some great prank call ideas that will set you up for some good laughs.

Go over the phonebook and look for the usual names – Cook, Brown, White, Black, Rich and the likes.  Use their names to make fun of them.  For example you call the Brown residence and ask for Mr. Brown, if the wife picks up simply say “Can I speak with Mr. Brown please?”  If she says he is not available and asks for a message, say “Nothing, I just wanted to ask if he really is brown just like his name says” then hang up.  If Mr. Brown picks up, ask him right away if he really is brown just as his name says.  If he gets mad, say “Please sir do not be mad, I simply want to know if you are brown because if you are white then you should change your name to Mr. White.”  Then hang up.  If you don’t get the confused and angry reaction you get on the first call, call again and do the same lines.

This prank idea can last you the whole day.  The phonebook is flooded with simple and common names that you can use.  If you come across a Mr. Cook in the phonebook, call the residence and start with a formal tone, “Hi, is this Mr. Cook?”, if the other person says yes, ask “Is this Mr. Cook of Woodrow Street?”  Refer to their address so they won’t get suspicious right away. After the person says yes, say “Good! Can you whip up something scrumptious for me, I’m starving!”  Then hang up.

Call the Rich residence and look for Mr. Rich.  When Mr. Rich picks up, confirm and ask “Is this Mr. Rich?” if he says yes, say “If you really are Mr. Rich, can I borrow some money?  I’m behind on my bills” and then hang up.

You can also search for the number of a person whose first name is Robin.  Call and ask “Hi is Robin there?”  When the person says he is not home and asks for a message, say “this is Batman.  The bat mobile broke down and I need his help.  Please have him call me as soon as he gets home.”  Then hang up.

Prank calls are fun but make sure you don’t become offensive.  Keep it light and funny just enough to annoy the person on the other line but never insult or harass them.  Have fun!

For kids, especially teenagers, prank calling is one of their most favorite past time.  They spend a lot of time planning and thinking of outrageous phone pranks that will beat their past record.  I babysit for my neighbors on weekends and through this gig, I get to see and hear kids in action.  Theirs are hilarious and very creative, sometimes I’d wonder why I didn’t think of those back in the day.

My favorite prankster is our neighbor’s son Greg.  Greg usually has his friends sleep over on weekends.  It is on these times that they plan and creative phone pranks to torment the people in our neighborhood.  They are funny but harmless pranks and I get a good laugh all the time.

One time, they called their middle-aged teacher and played a funny prank on her.  “Mrs. Stanley, this is Gus, I just want to make sure your toilet is working fine.  I heard it is defective,” Greg used his grown-up voice while trying to keep a straight face.  Their teacher said her toilet is working fine and that there is nothing wrong with it.  Then Greg said using his normal kid voice, “oh okay.  Then why do you still wet your bed?”  Then he hanged up.  Their teacher must have turned red in embarrassment that night.  Greg heard his teacher talking to his mom and some friends one time.  His teacher confessed that when she gets nervous she pees her bed sometimes.  Greg wasted no time sharing this information with his friends and made it into a great phone prank material.  It was a great number.

The kids seem never to get tired of tormenting other people on the phone.  They love to use personal information from everyone and use it on their pranks.  Another time, they called the church and asked for Father Carl.  One of Greg’s friends told the priest “Father, can I get a change of $.50 from the $1 that I gave during collection during last Sunday’s service?  I really intended to give 50 cents but I don’t have any spare change.  The other 50 cents I was supposed to buy ice cream.”  The priest got mad and told him not to be rude and bothersome.  The boy then said “Sorry Father.  Don’t bother giving me the 50 cents; I’ll just get the change during collection at church service tomorrow.”  The he hang up.  Father Carl was known for being strict when it comes to kids so they just wanted to annoy him a little bit.  During church service the following day, the priest was eyeing the collection basket with hawk eyes while the boys were giggling on the side.

As long as the prank calls don’t cause trouble to the victim, it is fine.  It is a good way to while away the time.

My uncle is a regular victim of prank calls from the kids in the neighborhood.  His store is situated near a school and most kids drop by his store after classes.  That made him an easy target for kids to make fun of; after all he was the funny old man who runs the candy store.  He probably get at least one prank call a day.  It did not bother him at first especially because he found the calls funny.  The calls became annoying and insulting eventually when the kids found the old man laughing at their pranks and not seething with anger.  That’s when he decided to get caller id.

Once he gets the calls, he’d allow them to finish and wait for the callers to hang up.  Then he calls them back and says the exact things the caller said to him and hangs up.  He would keep on calling until they don’t answer anymore.  One time, a boy called looking for a Kevin.  He said there was no Kevin there and that he had the wrong number.  The boy keeps calling and keeps on asking for Kevin.  He can hear other boys on the background laughing.  Then another one called say his name was Kevin and asked if my uncle has taken any messages for him.  My uncle just laughed and hanged up.  He got the caller id and it is registered to a couple that goes to the same church, their son Kevin always in tow.  He decided to call the kids back and looked for Kevin.  When Kevin answered, he said “Hi Kevin, this is Mr. Smith from the candy store.  I have a new message for you.  Your mother dropped by the store and asked me to tell you that you are grounded for 4 weeks with no allowance, no internet and no TV.  Tell your friends to go home and clean your room.  Oh and no more phone privileges.  Enjoy kid!”  The kid’s mom didn’t really drop by but it must have scared the kid and his friends because his daily prank calls dropped from an average of 6 to 7 calls a day to just around 3 calls daily.

Another time, a kid called him and just sang “welcome to the candy shop” over and over again.  My uncle hanged up after a few minutes.  He called back the number and when the same kid answered, he sang “welcome to the candy shop” over and over, out of tune.  He kept on singing until the kid hanged up.

Giving these pranksters a dose of their own medicine is a great way of handling.  Plus making prank calls are just hilarious.  This seems to be the perfect situation for the saying “if you can’t beat them, join them.”

My prank call experiences

The need to do a prank call is inherent in each and every one. A prank call does not mean disturbing anyone, but it does bring the necessary amount of humor into a person’s life. Here, I would share an experience which you in which I would be able to get the required amount of pleasure from a particular prank call. This prank call was actually done to a pizza guy, so you can guess that the entire conversation was centered on pizza. In this entire conversation, I actually had tried to bring out the necessary amount of humor, without having to actually go for any sort of inclination towards hurting the sentiments of the person.
The call was given to a pizza guy in the morning, and the subject was actually about getting a particular topping upon the pizza. I had actually wanted toppings for over 40 kinds, and most of them consisted of cheese, mushrooms, cottage cheese, cabbage, cauliflower, and a lot more. The guy over the phone was actually as much helpful as they could, but in between, the accent which I was speaking in was incomprehensible even to me. Hence, that person could not understand the delivery order, and kept on insisting that I would have to speak in a normal voice in order to get the delivery over with. In this manner, I had a lot of fun with that person, and I kept on trying to convince the person that this was by normal tone of voice. He tried accommodating me as much as he could, and then give up on me and tried to transfer the call to some of the person. That other person was the manager of that pizza delivery system, and he was also trying his level best in order to understand my order. They went even as far as to tell that I was fooling with them, but I made them understand that this was my normal tone of voice, and that I was nowhere near to fooling with them. In this manner, you would find that the entire conversation was surrounding the pizza, but it did take a lot of conversation in order to ensure that they could understand what I was saying.
The entire time, even though the mobile bill kept on increasing, and that person on the other end of the line was getting frustrated even more and more, the patience of the person was really good. I would have to admire the way in which they tackled the entire situation and even though the entire conversation was in comprehensible even to me, but I must admire the way in which they understood most of my orders. I had a very good time with this prank call, and intend on doing so on a regular basis.

Another idea for a funny prank will is to ensure that you go to a pickup restaurant. When you actually go to that restaurant, try and speak in a funny accent, which would not at all be able to be comprehended by the people working.
