Prank Calls

RoastedTwinkies · Post by **RoastedTwinkies** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 10:13 pm

A few months back, I downloaded some prank calls. Ever since I downloaded "You Kicked My Dog" and "Chinese VCR", they still make me laugh every single time. I burned all the calls to a CD and I used to listen to them to and from school. It was fun, but I stopped doing that because I laugh every single time and I don't want to look like I'm insane or something on the bus. For those of you who don't know what these calls were about, I'll fill you in:

In You Kicked My Dog, Adam Sandler phoned this family, using this middle eastern accent, accusing the family's daughter of kicking his dog.

In Chinese VCR, this Chinese guy phoned an electronics place because he couldn't program his VCR. He acted like he didn't understand..
ie: Salesperson: Press the program button on the remote control.
Chinese dude: I press button... eeeee..... clock is still blinking.
Salesperson: Ok, what does the menu say?
Chinese dude: o sushi, tempura and saki

Also, my friend told me she made a bunch of prank calls, mostly to immigrants, threatening to deport them.

A few years ago, my friends and I picked a random number from the phone book. We each took turns calling that number asking for Sally. Finally, I phoned the number and said, "This is Sally. Any messages?"

Another one I did was:
Me: Is your refridgerator running?
Person on line: Yes
Me: You better go catch it before it runs away!

This is kind of dumb and stupid, but describe some prank calls you've made or heard! This is just for fun!

As a final note, this behaviour is NOT recommended. After I turned 13, I stopped making prank calls because of legal stuff, but I still enjoy downloading them!

*raises eyebrows*
I don't find the one about the girl kicking the dog funny in any way, becuase that could very well make the girl go hysterical, crying and the like, not to mention make the family feel very bad.

The Chinese one...okay, that's Japanese -_- That just threw the joke away for me.

And the immigrant one kinda sickens me, dude.

I don't see the significance in being 13 to stop making prank calls. Legal shit still applies when you're under 13.

I saw a video for You Kicked My Dog when I still had AOL ummm at least 2 years ago. It was ok. Haha...then it died. I didn't think it was real though.

There was one about getting Chinese food or Tai food. It was funny for a while, but seriously, these little prank calls die very fast.

It is ok,in my opinion, to like phone a friend like I do and using *67 to block my number

, but calling an actual family at home, that you don't know, and disturbing them with some stupid immature crap like these prank calls is just wrong.

<and don't rub that water balloon in my face, I was kidding

I find the idea of prank calls amusing, but I don't do them in fear of offending someone or getting yelled at. While it may be funny, I don't like the idea of disturbing someone. Like my mother, who works nights, was sleeping during the day when a telemarketer called, and was greeted with a great big "WHAT?!" I think she made the person cry.

Has anyone tried answering the phone in a different language? It's kind of like a prank call.....It's so funny, when a telemarketer calls, and you answer with "Moshi moshi?"

Or another one...
"Bonjoooour!"
Very amusing, hearing the reactions.

I like listening to the ones that use the Arnold Schwartzenegger sound board. They're really, really funny. That and the Dr. Phil one.

I’ve never made prank calls myself but I have answered the phone in another language. It’s hilarious to hear the reactions of those telemarketers who are trying to sell you on something. I only do it to the ones who keep calling me back after I’ve told them not to. So they deserve every bit of it. *evil laugh*

I used to do prank calls, until my mom told me they were costly and rude to the person who has to answer them.

Heh, I love listening to prank calls online, some are funny as hell. One of my favorites not mentioned yet has to be someone calling a gardening company called "Weed Man". I'm sure you can all see what direction that call took. ^_~

I also like watching Crank Yankers. Hearing those calls is great, and I love how they have the puppets act out scenes going on in the calls.

One time, my friends Katie, Sara, and I prank called a dude[spoiler]named Davie Ray[/spoiler] and Sara was telling him he applied for a job at a strip joint.

The guy got so mad he cussed all three of us out!!! o.O;;

YES! I adore Crank Yankers.I think it's simply hilarious.So wrong..yet so hilarious.

I remember when I was a wee lass,my friend Libby and I were scanning a phone book and calling different numbers.I believe we only called a few houses,but on one of the house's answering machines,I left this extremely long message(what I said,I don't quite recall)in a fake French accent.

I've always wanted to do that. Another thing I've always wanted to do was start up a conversation with a telemarkter by asking them how they are and stuff. The only prank call (although this doesn't really count) I ever made was one time when we were on vacation and my family called our grandparents' up with long-distance, I wasted our minutes by asking if their refridgrator is running. ^^;;

Yes! The VCR one the You Kicked My Dog calls are not real. They are funny though!

These are not really prank calls but it tells you to pay attention to the voice you hear on the phone lol.

Sidenote: my mother, my sister Laure and I sometimes kinda have the same voice on the phone. You also need to know that my mother's mother lives on an island far away (necessary for the first scenario).

Scene One : Dad calls home. My mother answers.

Him: Hi, please tell your Mom I need to talk to her.
Mom: I can't, she isn't here.
Him: Don't tell me that and give the phone to your mom!
Mom: I'm telling you I can't, cause she's not here!
Him: Okay Sandrine stop that and give the phone to your mother!
Mom: But I'm not Sandrine!
Him: Sandrine stop that I know it's you! (hangs up)
Mom: o.O;;;;

(he can't even recognize his wife...)

Scene two: my fiancé calls.

Him: Hey Laure, can I speak to Sandrine ?
Me: Nope I can't. Can't you tell ?
Him: Whoops... ^^;;

And he does that all the time lol

I know this topic is old, but what can I do since there EXISTS a topic on that matter ^^°

Well, I did some prank calls one time with some of my "friends".

First, we called a restaurant. and told them we would order a table for 75 people since my parents should get married.
They actually did so... xDDD

Then I called an hospital and wanted to talk to my grandmother who has been hit by a car. (and NO, that wasn't true xD) I told her the name, and the best thing was: This name did indeed exist, so now I had this grandmother on the line. I told her she wasn't my grandmother and started sobbing "But I want to talk to my grammaaaaa!" And she said it was okay, my grandmother would make it and I should try to reach her immediately.

Well, I never did since my real gramma was and still is okay

The last one: We randomly called someone and told them they were LIVE on radio. (we even sung the slogan) And holy fuck, they BOUGHT it xD We told them they had won something (I can't remember what it was) and they should come and pick it up. We named a location.
I don't know if they did, but it was pretty funny xD

Yes, I know... it bothers people and it wasn't really nice. But... there's a first time for everything, right?

I've done the radio one!

I can't remember any specific ones I've done but there was one where I spoke with (and terriblay obvious) Japanese accent...

The girl was like... 16-17... she totally had a conversation with me. it was hilarious.

My late grandma told me about one she had I thought was funny:

*ring*
"Hello"
"Hello, is John there?"
"No, there's no John here, you have the wrong number."
"Oh, sorry, bye."

5 minutes later

*ring*
"Hello"
"Hello, is John there?"
"No, John does *not* live here, please check your number."
"I'm sorry, good-bye."

5 minutes later

*ring*
"Hello"
"Hi, this is John, did I get any messages?"

Hmmm....this just reminded me of the 'Jenny' calls. You know what Jenny I'm talking about. I've never tried it, not only because it's rude and repetitive, but because I'm afriad of karma biting me in the ass by releasing a new band singing about my phone number.

the horror

I got a very irritated-sounding man who ended up cursing at me. ^^;
