Best prank calls you used to do.

[hg321]

A buddy of mine would look in the newspaper for people that just went to court and got probation...then he would look up their names in the phonebook and pretend to be their probation officer.

[marquee]

when people used to call me, i'd answer "Pizza hut, how may I help you?" and the other side would hang up. Then they'd call back and I'd say "Dominoes, how may I help you?". At this point the smart ones caught on, but occasionally, they'd try calling again, and I'd say "Papa Johns, may I take your order?".

back when we were 16, we'd pretend to be the Department of Labor and call up the employers of our friends. We'd have them fax over all work permits and paperwork for all of my friends to the fax machine where i was working. My boss would come in the morning and spazz out when he saw all this paperwork on the floor spitting from the fax machine. He had no idea what it was.

The Nortel-brand phones at Best Buy used to allow you to dial the extension of a different department, then use a function key to divert them to the store loudspeaker. There are always shy girls who freak out at the idea of having to use the loudspeaker so naturally they'd always be the target.

It was also possible to use a store wireless phone to connect directly to the speaker of any department. You could be at the back of the store and start screaming obscenities at the cashiers if you wanted to.

lol...that reminded me of my Best Buy days. We'd all have our Sunday morning meeting and after the store meeting, we split up into department meetings. Being the funny guy, i'd dial the feature # for the intercom paging and hand the phone to somebody, telling them it was their mom. They'd all get on the loudspeaker, "hello? Mom? Are you there? Mom? " We'd all die laughing, and the store manager would even laugh knowing what happened to them. We'd get two fish every meeting!

LMAO. Some of these are hilarious!!

What me and my friend used to do (in elementary school) was call up our Japanese friend and try to order sushi, and cuss at him when he doesn't give us sushi

Before caller ID and after the invention of 3-way calling:

First, a friend (Person A) and I (Person B) would call each other. Then each of us would call one other person (Person C & D). Both of us would stay very quiet. If both people pick up the phone at the same time, then each one would be very confused.

Person C: "Hello?"
Person D: "uhh... hello?"
Person C: "Yes?"
Person D: "Why did you call?"
Person C: "No wait, you called me."
etc. etc.

LOL, we did something pretty close to that. We just called one friend and pretended to be an operator, and put them on hold, and then call the second person and connected them together.

OHHH i got a good one!


some guys (friends of mine, kinda) kept prank calling this girl (also kinda friend, but really good friend with my gf) and they wouldnt stop, ever. the girl dated one of the guys, and since they broke up, the guys continued to leave retarded messages on her voicemail, call and hang up several times in a row, and just be pretty annoying in general. well, one time they took it a LITTLE too far

they left her a message on her cell phone along the lines of "you fvcking b!tch! we are gonna slice your fvcking tires and beat your pussy ass boyfriend! this time we will really teach you a lesson b!tch!" so she was pretty pissed, and her exact words were "this time they pissed me off for real. lets get even."

so she called the cops, explained, and they were like do you want them arrested for <insert some law stuff here, i dunno wtf they said> and she said no, i just want to get them to stop doing it. they are harmless.

so the cop calls the house at 5:30pm and asks for Guy A. Guy A says this is him and the cop goes "Guy A, this is Bob from the police department. blah bah blah" and Guy A says "quit fvcking with me. this is one of my friends." Q - bad move). anyways, the cop eventually hangs up, then he DRIVES TO THEIR HOUSE and gets Guy A (little brother) and Guy B (big brother - he dated the girl) and tears them a new asshole. They both start crying like little babies and the cop forces them to go to the girls house to apologize in front of her and their parents.

needless to say, LMFAO and im not sure if that belongs in this thread lol

Back in the day we used to call people and pretend we were from Block Busters and tell them they had an overdo movies, usually Anal Intruders. People would get pissed, then we would start laying into them about how customer like them make us sick and this is my last day so they can go screw themselves.

Either that or one of my friends did a really good child voice and we would call department stores and ask for our mommies. Then we would start calling the person names.

 

[Falloutboy]

well when I worked at my dads Hardware store every time we got a new guy who didn't know nothing about tools or hardware in general we'd call asking for fake products such as:

Newguy: Hello *** Hardware
Me: Do you have any skyhooks in stock?
Newguy: whats that?
Me thier hooks that don't need to be screwed in, thier in the back room i'll be in in 5 min can you have it up front for me
hangup

then I come walking out of the backroom and he comes asking me where they are and I say thier like in row 12 in the backroom (only 10 rows really) I had this one guy looking for an hour plus

 

[Kemosabe1447]

I think some of these are really lame, but I don't have any good ones so I can't complain. I just wanted to give props to bmacd. His takes the cake

 

[TheNinja]

Another good one is to call somebody (preferrably an old lady) and say you are the phone company and you're going to be having someone working on the lines. Tell her that her phone might ring once in a while over the next 5-10 minutes but under no circumstances should she answer it b/c it could close the connections and electrocute the guy working on the line. Then call her in 3 minutes and let the phone ring....if she picks it up you start screaming like a wild banshee (it helps to have a buddy in the background yelling "quick somebody get him away from that power line!". If she doesn't pick it up you let it ring for 10 minutes straight b/c you know it has to annoy the crap out of that person.

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

when I worked at CC (first job) we would call a competitor and asked them for a dikfer, they usually asked whats a dikfer? and the usual response was "To pee with silly"

One time it kinda changed directions when we called a cell company.

THEM: Thank you for calling ______
US: Yes, I was wondering if you had the new Dikfer
THEM: Ummmm, I haven't heard of that model
US: Yeah it just came out.
THEM: Let me check.... (After a minute or two of waiting) Can you discribe this Dikfer
US: Yeah it fits in your hand and it expands
THEM: expands?
US: Yep expands.
THEM: OHHHHH I think I know which one your talking about, that model has been recalled
US: (Not sure what to say at this point) Recalled why?
THEM: They didn't preform very well, then after a while they exploded.
US: (Dying laughing) Ok thank you, that solves it

 

[bmacd]

haha...reminds me of another one we do. I've been with kmart for the past ~4 years and am known as the smart ass/prankster. I change my voice into this really high pitched kids voice (one of the associates i got referred to it as a 'retarded school girl'). I'll ask for the toy department and ask for a Furry Chocha. They ask me to describe it, and i'll try and go as far as i can without laughing, then they actually go and look for it. We usually do it to the new kids or the older regulars. Cracks me up everytime.

Another time at kmart (have you started to wonder where all these wasted payroll dollars are going??? ), i was bored and working back in receiving. The store manager was gone and the day was slow, so i got on the phone and started calling other stores. We have a networked phone system, so we can dial any store # by dialing a special 1-700 #, then the store number. I'd call random out of state stores and ask for receiving, then proceed to tell them that i was dropping off a few pallets of batteries. The first couple of calls were hilarious b/c the stores were closing within a matter of days and they couldn't figure out why they would get NEW batteries. They went as far as to put the store manager on the phone, and i'd tell them i was dropping off stuff. Eventually, i told them and they got a laugh out of it.

we use to do the same thing as well, but used a local fm station instead

The problem with that is they can easily tune in and fine out you're not legit. When they check the AM we say that the reception is bad in their area.

 

[OutHouse]

my friend and I used to do the old classics

order pizza for the neighbors and order up call girls from the back of the newspaper then watch through the miniblinds when they show up.

we also did a few tow truck calls.


ahhh the days before caller ID were fun!

 

[kenshorin]

Back in HS me and my friends had all of our HS teacher's phone numbers, so we put together a Jerky Boys inspired tape of us pranking them all. One of the best was an older teacher, we pranked him making pretend we were doing a sexual dysfunction survey. He believed it, and answered a lot of our questions! That was funny.

 

[bmacd]

haha, off topic, my senior year in HS, i kinda helped out on the school's Novell network and stumbled across a password protected Word document named, "staff directory". It was like holding the keys to a ferrari...i HAD to crack the pw and open it. Low and behold, it was the staff directory with full addresses and phone numbers, and i got suspended for having it. After i got suspended, i passed as many copies around as i could.

Thats pretty much how we got ours too. It wasn't password protected, was just an unprotected Word doc. They had it in the office, and we used to spend a little time in the office on occasion , so you see where that led...

 

[Doggiedog]

At work one of my friends would call this place called The Vault, a notorious S&M club in NYC. He would then quickly call my line and conference me in.

I would be like "hello?" and they would say "hello" and we would go back and forth for a while not knowing what the heck is going on.

Finally, when the guy goes "this is the Vault. Can I help you?" I finally figured it out.

 

[brigden]

We would look up people with odd names, like Tooth, and make fun of their name until they hung up. We even called the Kids Helpline, which is an organization that helps troubled kids confidentially by offering advice. We would pretend to be kids:

US: Um, I've got a pretty big problem...
THEM: It's OK, what is it?
US: Well, you see, I'm playing Mario Bros. 3, but I'm stuck on level 5-4. How the heck do you find the flute?

The best prank call we ever pulled was to our driving instructor. A total joke of a man. We called him up, and using the SoundBlaster Talker software, we would string him along. We had him on the phone for ten minutes.
