Prank Calls

Timmyctc

Did anyone ever make prank calls in the past to be super cool and super funny?

I recall a certain person in the Phonebook (Who's name has since been removed) by the name of William Stroker getting a fair touch of it from probably people in every part of the country.

I take some pride in this one I did when I was a young scallywag getting shared and uploaded to Youtube by someone I didn't know.

So in summary: Anyone have any funny stories about prank calls?

Those call centres ringing about 'Windows' have ruined it for everybody except Bart Simpson.

On valentines day back when I was a scaldy lad I rang up houses and when a woman answers I'd just start singing in a naff elvis voice 'Wiiiise men saaaaaaaay, huuu only foooools rush in. But I. Can't. Help. Falling in loooooove wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiithh you.'
Then I hung up and dialled the next.

When I lived in Oz in 2000/01 I used to love Guido Hatzis on the radio he was brilliant, I think he done at least one call a week, his character was a arrogant Greek Ozzy, classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bspGIWOWl-k

Hello

Hello, may I speak to Mr Wall please.

Sorry, you must have the wrong number

What about Mrs Wall, would it be possible to talk to her.

I'm sorry, you have the wrong number. There are no Walls here!

Oh, run for your lives, your roof is going to fall in.

Zing.

Rang Apple America once with my girlfriend and some friends. Pissed off the guy so much I actually got him to swear at me. He said that my call is getting traced and the police will be there in a minute or two. I asked him to they trace to Ireland and he just paused and hung up.

Myself and my sister prank called the local garda station once when I was about 8, that's how badass we were!

Paid for it after though when they rang back and my dad answered

The rubberbandits do a prank that starts like that. The woman says is this Marlo. He says yeah, they chat for 4 minutes. Its hilarious.

At the end the son comes on the phone and Marlo says I won't lie, I'm dying for a sh*te.

The best rubberbandits one is the bank.

'I had an aero in my arse pocket and it melted' cracks me up!

Ardee Gardee ftw :pac:

I know of a guy who used to ring them when he was drunk, hear them go "Ardee Gardai" and hang up in hysterics.

AngeGal

Not a prank call per se, but an excellent prank on a telemarketer.

I have never made one but I have gotten a fair few.

A friend used to make them all the time.

He read mass over the phone on one occasion.

Someone tried that on me a few years ago.

Bet them to the punch line.

Said the only Walls here are holding up the roof.

Cue dial tone,

Reckon they were sickened.

Another good one from Ned.

A gang of us in work when we were bored used to ring Lino Ritchie carpet shop and go.....hello...(pause)........... is it me you're looking for?...........and hang up in hysterics.............. no matter how many times we did it.

We thought this was just the best and funniest ever and I wouldn't mind, but we were twenty odd at the time.

It's actually a thing now where you can go pro as a prank caller, the likes of Kyra and Mobethian earn money off their Youtube views. Sal and Richard who work for Howard Stern have also made a career out of prank calling. Can you imagine being over 40 and getting paid good money to make prank calls all day.

Not really a prank but I worked for a **** of a boss one time.Whenever I saw him leave the office I would dial his phone and he would come rushing back only for me to hang up just as he got there. Kept me sane

I was crying with this one:

Cork Radio pranks, I love this one.

The one thing Cork men of a certain vintage hate is young Jackeens living in Cork and giving them jip on the phone.
