Phone larking

[⠠⠠⠅⠑⠋⠋⠁⠇⠎ ⠠⠠⠊⠎ ⠠⠠⠁ ⠠⠠⠋⠁⠛]

I'm baring my soul here, but is there anyone else here who appreciates the art of prank calling? Japes? The art of phone larking?

I've been a fan since I was a little boy listening to the likes of the Jerky Boys and Touch Tone Terrorists. Things have become steadily more sophisticated in niche circles since then.

I almost hesitate to bring up the topic here, as many of the people described on this forum are sensitive and easily startled, and should simply be observed in their natural environment. But I'm sure everyone here knows better than to scare the game.

But then I was listening to a new episode of my favourite prank call show, and had to share this.. from 32:35.. possibly the most complete audible mental breakdown I have ever heard.

Jesus Christ. She sounds absolutely horrified. Like she's a fourteen year old girl on her first day at work.

I like the cut of your faggotry.

I have loved this call since I was but a lad.

Not prank calling exactly, but I love the Ventrilo Harassment series

Whatever happened to SPCC?

 

[Spatula]

Prank Calling was more fun when phones were analog, and you actually had to force the person to get up to answer and waste their time.

I used to make prank calls all the time back in the day. Grew up with The Jerky Boys as well. It was fun when the worst that could happen is you just piss off the person and they start sperging at you. Not so much fun when caller ID became big and people just stopped answering unknown calls, or you could land up in jail for harassment

My favorite has always been some dude using a soundboard calling the dude from the soundboard

That is something else.

The latest Snow Plow Show is introed by my favourite elderly woman call ever. 13/10 stars.

SPCC is streaming. Not sure if it's actually live or a recording of a previous time.

Edit - It's live. Woman on the phone mentioned the impeachment vote.

 

[Troon Carey]

bump, did SPCC get arrested for being a general pest?

 

[Idiocy Abroad]

You can't have a prank call thread without bringing up the GOAT Longmont Potion Castle.
Also used to listen to a lot of Ownage Pranks back in the day too but I don't remember which ones were good.

Prank calls peaked at "You Kicked My Dog". Change my mind.

As an added bonus, I present the funniest radio competition phone call of all time.

Richard and Sal from the Howard Stern Show are my favorites. I like their Tradio/Swap Shop and Public Access calls the most.
