The Steps Of Prank Calls

Step One: Getting A Phone Number-- The safe way to go is to call a friends house. This way if all else fails, you can always come clean and say its a joke and they wont be calling the cops. But you can only prank your freinds a few times before it gets boring...and they catch on. This is where teh phone book comes in. Thousands of people to call...and businesses to prank too. But then again if you're careless and forget to block your number (as i have many times) they'll be calling your house and asking to speak to your parents.

Step Two: Caller ID Is Not Your Friend-- Yes, Caller ID and *69 can be useful...maybe. But not when you're making pranks. Before dialing the number of your choice, ALWAYS make sure you block your number (*67 blocks it)m, otherwise you may have a few enemies calling your house theatening to call the cops.

Step Three: Be Prepared-- Before making your call, try and have an idea of what you;re planning to do BEFORE you do it. Otherwise you'll come up blank when you hear the infamous "Hello?" and start laughing. Check the "Ideas" section for some well...ideas!

Step Four: Be Original, Be Creative-- This is probably THE most important step. If you call someone and do the whole "is your refrigirator running? Well you better go ctach it!" the people you are pranking will be LAUGHING at you. The more creative and least obvious you are, the more fun it will be and the more angry people will get.

Step Five: DONT LAUGH!-- Even though luaghter is extremely tempting when the person oin the other end of the phone is being a dumbass...it will ruin the entire joke. If comedians laughed at theit own jokes all the time...it wouldnt be that funny. Plus if you start laughing you wont be able to go on with the joke, and you'll have to hang up.


Prank Phone Call Ideas

1) The College Prank: Me and my friends use this alot. My friend will call someone we know (who's between the ages of 16-18) and act as if she's Margaret from the University of Hawaii. People usually dont catch on to this...because the truth is, weird colleges call people all the time...just make sure you act mature and if they start asking weird questions you dont understand...hang up.

2) Bother People At Their Work: Its fun to call toy stores and ask them to see if they have stuff in stock. For instance "Hi...i was wondering if you had a purple barbie convertable? with sparkles?" and then they have to go have someone run around the entire store and see if they have it in stock. Make sure you're as specific as possible. If you just ask if they have Barbies, they'll say "yes" off the top of their heads. But if you ask for a "Malibu Barbie that comes with a Kelly doll and towel and sun-screen and pink sparkle glasses" they'll have to have someone go look. When they get back with the answer to your question, ask them for more stuff.

3) "Your Chinese Food Is Ready": This is a personal favorite, but you have to be able to fake a very thick chinese accent. Call someone up (using the accent) and tell them that they're chinese food is ready. When they say they ddint order chinese food, argue with them (i.e. "YES YOU DID!!! YOU ORDER SHRIMP FRIED RICE AND GENERALTOU CHICKEN!! YA YA YA!!) until they eventuallly hang up.

4) "Your prescription is ready": My friend likes to do this one alot...call someone up and act like you're Ben from CVS (or Rite Aid or a Super Market with a pharmacy or whatever) and tell them that their perscription is ready. When they say "i dont have a perscription there" argue with them and threaten to get your manager. But the key is NOT to act mad...stay completely calm the entire time. Also, if you get an answering machine, leave a message.

5) The QVC Call: I've always tried to call QVC and claim that i bought their product and loved it, and ask if they can put me on tv. This hasnt worked yet...one time they said "sure hold on" and after being on hold for 10 minutes they said the display people werent taking phone calls...bastards.
