Best Pranks/Prank Calls You've Ever Done

Recommended Posts

Pranks or prank calls. I was inspired by and originally went to post this in the GM Prank Call thread, but figured it needed a thread of it's own.

Man, I would have made so much money by now if I would've recorded my prank calls back in the day. My friends always made me do it because I was the only one who wouldn't laugh during it.

I hate giving away my trade secrets, but it's not like I'm going to do anything with it now and because society has shifted to being so PC and overly serious about everything, prank calls aren't really what they used to be now...

Anyway, two awesome premises I used to operate off of... We would find a couple listed in the phonebook and then ask for the woman, have a discussion with the man that picked up, and then reveal that we are the woman's boyfriend. I actually had a 10 minute conversation with a couple one time using a cornball voice the whole time and they said they remembered me from high school and everything, lol. Things went bad when they put me on speaker and I alluded to that time she did me "a favor."

The other one was, I liked to call stores with an effeminate sounding voice and asking if they sold caulk. Tons of fun. Had one store send 2 different people on a price check one time and when they came back, I ask if they sold it by the inch. I asked if it was for sale again, and the guy assured me it was, and then I said, "No! I mean is your caulk for sale?" Awkward silence.

I've done some good ones in my day. Nothing I really care to share but, if you haven't listened to all the Jerky Boys stuff or Willie P. Richardson and his wife, you're really missing out.

I've called a random person and talked to them for over an hour while pretending that I was a 50 year old black coal miner whose newspaper they stole.

I've called my friends house while he was gone pretending to be a service representative for a dlido company. I told his parents that he ordered one and I needed to know if he wanted it to be able to shoot liquids or not.

I called MDonalds using the Bane voice while bitching them out for putting mayonnaise on my chicken sandwich.

My friend used to call random people pretending he was a radio DJ and would tell them that they just won some random prize, all they had to do was say the alphabet backwards or do some other stupid poo

Oh man, that Bane one may be gold. "Let the games begin!"

The dildo thing brought back memories because my friend and I who created the "couple lookup" prank call also did something similar in high school. He was talking about all of those "wholesale closeout prices extravaganza!" deals at the state fairgrounds and how they always run that ticker across the ads on tv with "Gotta buy!" repeatedly and non-stop.

So, I guess out of frustration we called all these girls we had been talking to and were hoping to date and he did the dildo sales pitch while I repeatedly pushed "gotta buy, gotta buy, gotta buy, gotta buy" in the background until the call was over. No, it wasn't genius, but it was fun.

One time my friend called some old folks pretending to be a wrecking service confirming an appointment to tear their house down at 3pm the next day. It was ridiculously funny. Dumb thing was that he left messages using another guys number we knew at the time whom he hated. The old folks eventually called the cops on said guy. Still awesome.

I used to call people with the last name McDonald in the phonebook and frequently order a big mac with fries.

We had one of my female friends call up a strip club looking for work. She told them she was blind and said she's have to have her seeing eye dog Bessie up there with her while performing.

She kept talking and took it super seriously, and kept asking whether they be able to accomodate her special needs and whether or not they discriminate. Too hilarious, but the employees took it so well.

    • Canales’ recipe for success is simple — slow the game down with long drives that keep the other team’s offense off the field. Long drives are built from short gains but short gains require more 3rd-down conversions.  The Panthers are converting 37.5% of their third downs, which is average but not enough. As a result, they have attempted 21 fourth downs — the most in the NFL — and they’ve converted 71.4% of them, ranking 3rd among teams with at least 15 attempts. The Chiefs are second @ 80% and the Colts are first at 88% but the majority of their conversions are short yardage runs - not passes.  The Panthers have had three big wins this season — against Miami, the Cowboys, and the Packers — those conversions have played a major role in each of those wins. Miami The Panthers trailed by 17 in the 2nd quarter, facing a 4th-and-5 at the Miami 48. Young threw a 21-yard completion and they went on to score 7 on that drive. Then in the 4th, down by 4, they faced another 4th-and-5 at the Miami 33. Young delivered a 17-yard completion for the 1st down and they went on to score the winning TD. Cowboys The game is tied and the Panthers take over at their own 14 with 6 minutes left. Rico picks up 16 yards and Young converts two 3rd downs, gaining 37 yards, but misses on a third conversion. At the Cowboys’ 40, facing a 4th-and-4 at the 2-minute mark — knowing the Cowboys likely score if they get the ball back — Canales has them go for it. Young converts with a 7-yard pass putting them at the 33 in FG range. They then go on to kicj the game winning FG. Packers Young was 2-for-2 on 4th-down attempts. Then on the final drive starting from their own 19 with the score tied, Young converts two 3rd downs for 19 yards and Rico adds another 19 to move them into field-goal range for the win. In total, Bryce went 2-for-4 on 3rd downs and 5-for-5 on 4th downs on critical plays in those games. When the Panthers needed 1 yard against the Packers on their own 41 early in the game, Canales went to Young. - not Rico. When they needed 4 yards to keep the drive going at the 2 minute mark against the Cowboys he went to Young. Those throws weren’t empty-yardage completions; they were high-pressure, must-convert moments that directly contributed to all three wins. I keep reading how the Panthers  are winning in spite of Young, that Canales doesn’t trust him and schemes around him. But these drives show the opposite: when the game is on the line, Canales has consistently put the ball in Young’s hands and Young has consistently produced in those moments.  Some people do well in normal situations but crumble under pressure. Others can be uneven in normal times but produce when the presure is greatest. The question is who would you rather have in the playoffs. More importantly, who do you think Canales and the FO would want?  
    • I think is worse news for Tremayne. They need special teams help with him questionable.  If T-Mac is down, XL, Coker, Horn, and Renfrow. No way Chisena gets meaningful snaps as WR, only on special teams.
