Prank calls

Riddle101

Few months back, my friend had a really bad breakup with this girl. So one of my other mates decided to prank phonecall the girl pretending to be the other guy. He pretended to be crying and started saying stuff like, "Oh please baby, take me back I f*cking love ya" "I can't live without ya". Not sure what happened after that but we all had a laugh over it.

My friends and I used to ring up people from the phonebook at about 3am

me: Hello is this Mr X
Mr X: Yes
me: Hello Mr X, my name is doctor peter swanson from vincents hosptital, I am afraid there's been an accident.
Mr X: yes, is everything ok
<pause for suspense >
me: I seem to have spilled my beer, my can of beer.

Ah good aul prank calls.Been listening to this guy Howard Stern(the American 'shock jock',did that movie 'Private Parts' awhile back).He has two guys on his show called Sal and Richard whose only job is to make prank phonecalls(mostly winding up other radio stations)..Some of 'em are pretty decent.

Jerky boys, tube bar, john the nazi, the arnie tapes these were done to death back in the day. My pal gavin would call people up n serenade them with his flute 'hello, mr Buckley here's a tune for ye' but that was more of an honour than a prank

I was never any good at prank calls, couldn't stay serious. Thats probably why im useless at telling jokes too.

Love this vid.

when i was younger some of my mates prank called our house and my ma answered. They wound her up good and proper with some funny jape, but she recognised their voices and told me. I nipped around and kicked seven shades of sh1te out of them. It was hillarious.

Skype is an excellent tool for prank calls! You can use it to call toll free numbers from the UK, France, USA, Poland and a few other countries. Its great putting two companies in a call together so that it looks like they both rang each other. The yanks have the best reactions to this! This way, you don't even need to come up with a hilarious and witty story or voice. All you have to do is sit back and laugh at their confusion. TROLOLOL I really need to grow up...

So after just thinking the other day about how prank calling has been long dead, I receive one tonight. The pranker played some english recording (Reminded me of something like Faulty Towers accent) of a woman saying loads of stuff then all I remember is 'Silence in the court' ' Are you happy now?'.

Anyway I've no idea what that was about and thought AH would be a good place to get some good stories about pranks you did/received or even something smart ass to reply to them? I always want a good reply but my mind goes blank as I sit their quietly estimating how much credit they're currently wasting.

Sounds like twas a Judge Judy Soundboard. Plenty of those on the go now - twas one of your friends imo.

Years ago myself and my brother organised a house party as my parents were on holidays. Plan was to meet in the local pub first and then everyone back to our house.
So a few of us were having some drinks in my house before the pub. Door bell rings,pizza delivery man with 60 quids worth of food,i told him he had the wrong house,then just as he was leaving a taxi and another take away van pull up, I realise what's happening and explain to them,neither are too happy. As Im explaining to them another 3 taxis and two take away vans pull up. As you can imagine they start getting really paved.
This went on for about 2 hours.
So party went ahead but the next day no taxis would come out to bring people home.

This was 10 yrs ago and every so often when i get a taxi home the taxi driver Will mention that night.

Jesus memories. Me and two friends did it not long ago when we knew our friends were out drinking. Rang them at 3am, hi can I make an order for delivery.
This isn't a takeaway.
Yeah can I get a medium peperoni passion, cookies, a can of coke.
They hang up, ring back and repeat looking for a taxi, Chinese food...

Funny for us.

Just did the argos reservation one. Put my friend down for a dining table and chairs, beard trimmer, car seat, walk in greenhouse, washing machine and kite.

I need to grow up

Back in the day when our home phone number was five digits :eek:...

We frequently got calls from people who thought we were the local video shop as their number was the same with the last two digits inverted.

They were usually calling to ask for a video (They were videos in dem days) to be held (yes, you did this back in the day, they had a very limited number of copies and demand outstripped supply).

I did get sick of telling people that they had the wrong number and explaining why so sometimes I would just say yes, 'Yes, I will hold The Shawshank Redemption' for you, no problem.'

I smell BS!

Shawshank was released waaaaay after the move to 6 digits...

My Mam and Dad only have 5 digits in their phone number, plus 3 for the area code!! It's like a half a phone number:P

Just remembered this.
Used to travel down to cork every week to see my boyfriend at the time. He'd book the train for me, reserve me a seat....and put my name down as Robin Houses, Emma Roids, Free Hugs, Loves Anal or other stupid names.

Used to sit in the seat across from it and see what poor fool had to sit there when it got busy

Is your fridge running? You better run and catch it

It's you'd ring and say you were the water works and to check if your water is running and if they said yes then you would say well you better run after it!

Jack Russell in the phone book too.

Or ring up Dublin zoo and ask could you speak to Annie Lions.

The various Flash soundboards on Ebaumsworld were hilarious, although didn't work as well against Irish people. The Al Pacino ones were my favourite:

My mates put my number up on done deal last year saying I was selling chickens goats and calves.

I had 37 phone calls in the space of about 3 hours and by 3 days later I was up the feckin walls.

Was quite a good one lookin back on it now. Never underestimate the amount of phone calls a farmer will make on the promise of a free animal!!!

Rang the Irish psychic help-line & asked them, "did you know I was going to call you?"

We done that to one of our mates.

A couple of days before the All Ireland final we put an ad up selling 2 tickets for the hill @ face value. We attatched his number. He had 500 odd messages after an hour or so. He had to switch his phone off for a few days. :pac:
