Tom Mabe (comedian) turns tables on telemarketers

[DaveSimmons]

From a Seattle Times / AP story

"Last year, Mabe, 36, traveled to Washington, D.C., for a telemarketers convention and stayed at their hotel. He waited until the wee hours of the morning ? and started dialing. ..."

-and-

"Eventually, Mabe started luring telemarketers into embarrassing situations with his quick tongue, which provided material for his first two comedy CDs.

He revisits the gag on his new disc. Mabe asks one caller to wait while he sees who is at the door. Listeners then hear Christmas carolers, followed by shotgun blasts and shrieks. "

Heh, sounds funny. If he gets a job there he could make a new CD, "Mabe, gig in the City"

Telemarketer: "Well, I don't appreciate being called at this hour. You're an idiot."

ROTFF. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

If I remember correctly, they played some clips of this guy's CD on a Dallas talk show and it was horrible. It's an okay premise, but he pulls it off horribly. He'll say something goofy and the telemarkter would be like "Huh?" or "You're an idiot." or "What are you talking about?" and it'd continue for a bit before they hung up on him.

Nothing like some of the complete idiots or weirdos they call on Crank Yankers or something.

Sounds like a rip off of Jim Flornentine. Or maybe this guy was first, who knows. Either way Terrorizing Telemarketers is better. And the free clips aren't Real Audio!

I never really had a telemarketer call me at 4 in the morning...

Cool...He should have torched their hotel while he was at it.
