Prank Phone Calls
Scott Anderson
1. Speak a different language, act as if the person is playing a
trick on you by speaking English.
2. No matter what the person says from the moment they pick up the
phone and say 'hello?' your response is 'shut up'.
You'd be surprised how long some people will say on the line.
3. 2 words: telemarket surveys. Make sure you give your name as something
completely stupid. e.g. Phineas T. Gillpockets or Guadalouppe Johnson
4. Try to think of the funniest word you can and say only
that when they answer in the goofiest voice you can. i.e. YERP
5. Calling all-night gas stations at 3 in the morning is always fun
even if the person knows its a prank call...they usually don't care.
6. Pick a name out of the phone book (business work well)
and try to think up as many words that sound close to a word in
the name as you can. e.g. Dan's marine salvage:
You: is this Dan's marine sewage?
Dan: no, Dan's marine salvage
You: saviour?
Dan: no, salvage
You: cleavage??
Dan: NO, SALVAGE!
You: wait, ok. this is Dan's marine cabbage?
Dan: <click>>
7. Begin reciting the most existentialist sentences you can think of.
This works best impromptu... e.g. Shoes from the sky sing to the
peanut butter under my dolphin.
8. Try to convince the person that they called you. If you are good,
You can at least get them confused for a few minutes.
9. Tell them you are Dave Letterman....he calls people all the time.
You need to watch the show to get a good idea of what to say.
10. Get a friend and sit down and write a goofy song....concerning
birthdays or whatever...call a business and send a singing
telegram through the phone with you and your friend on separate phones
singing in 2 part harmony.
11. Act drunk/stupid or both. you can do a lot of different
things with this one be creative.
12. Call any 1-800 number that offers free brochures in their
commercials give your name as something like John Penis. The
person won't skip a beat.
13. Remind the person that you guys have an appointment of some kind
at 7 pm tonight (be creative) and don't give them long enough to ask
questions
14. Pick a name out of the phone book...call them and as soon as you
get the person you want, pretend that you have called a dial-a-sex line.
15. Find the goofiest name in the phone book, call them, and tell them that
you, Phineas T. Gillpockets, have a goofier name than they do.
16. Goofy voices are the source of a myriad of good pranks. Remember
the guy from the energizer commercial that shouted 'OI!' a lot?
Try that one on somebody. Switch back and forth between serious
voices and goofy, to keep them on the phone longer. Be creative.
17. Ask them when they are bringing the beer over. Works well on superbowl
Sunday/holidays.

I don't know abou this one. I've found, in making prank calls, that
whenever I use a phony foreign voice that the person on the other end
just starts speaking slower and louder.
I always try to reinforce this behavior by pretending it helps!

I heard Gilbert Gnarley (Gary Burbank on 700WLW) call the White House
and speak to some woman about the amnesty for illegal aliens a couple
years back. She asked him where he was from and he replied that he
was an illegal alien from Mars. She never even noticed.

JG> you, Phineas T. Gillpockets, have a goofier name than they do.
The phone company doesn't care under whose name you are listed as
long as they get paid. Have your name listed as something like
Raoul Y. Dzugashvilli, or something that's mostly consonants. Watch
telemarketers go bezerk in their mispronunciations.

call and say,
"Is this Sally Smith?"
She says:
"Yes, this is Sally."
Then say:
"I'm sorry, then I must have the wrong number." <click>
It's not that rewarding, but you'll confuse the hell out of people.

or how about:
dial 0.
"operator, may I help you?"
"no." <click>
