Prank Call How To | Pranks, Calls, Jokesters, Funny

[ad#Google Adsense]Funny prank calls come in handy when you need to relax and have a good laugh. I’ve always enjoyed making prank calls myself. But for some people the pleasure comes in listening to others’ prank calls. It just depends on your taste.

If you enjoy making funny prank calls then you’re going to need the equipment that we prank callers utilize, the tools of the trade so to speak. Naturally you are going to need a telephone. And, honestly, if you’re just looking for a little fun on a Friday night, you don’t need much else.

However you will need a couple of things, even if you are just an amateur. You will most definitely have to have a whole lot of creativity, a sick and twisted sense of humor, and hopefully the ability to disguise your voice.

Sure you are going to need some prank call ideas but we can get to that later. For now, let’s focus on developing the skills that you already have in order to make the best funny prank calls that you can.

First of all, do you even want to be making funny prank calls? I know this may seem like an obvious question since you are reading this blog, but really think about it for a moment. A prank call, while often hilarious, is not a sure thing.

Sometimes prank calls go awry. If you are making a prank call and your goal is some good-humored deception, be advised that such calls often end up confusing or irritating your target. In some cases that may be the desired outcome for you (I know sometimes it is for me) but in other cases you may feel a sense of remorse after you hang up the phone. In that case, you will not feel elated and invigorated but perhaps a little guilty and ashamed. That is not what we WANT, however it never the less is sometimes the outcome.

So can you handle it? You may feel awful when a funny prank call doesn’t go your way. Just remember that it is not always possible for one hundred percent of your prank calls to work out as you hope. Just be mentally prepared for the let down. All prank callers have to be prepared for those circumstances.

So, let’s answer a couple of quick questions before we proceed. If your target tells starts crying on the phone will you be able to continue with the prank? And if your target starts threatening to call the cops are you going to continue? And if your target threatens to do violent, physical things to your body will you continue with the bit?

If you have answered the above questions with the word “yes” than you are ready to continue reading. If, for some reason, you answered this question with a “no” then I won’t hold it against you, however making funny prank calls is probably not for you.

So, you’ve answered yes to the above questions and are ready to proceed. What’s the next step, you ask? Next we need to decide if you want to prank call like an amateur or like a pro. What’s the difference, I hear you asking. The difference is that a professional prank caller uses a toolbox so to speak, while an amateur simply uses his phone.

The professional jokester’s toolbox comes equipt with several dynamic tools that you’ll want to use to truly bust hilarity on both friends and strangers. When I first started making funny prank calls, and this will show you how old I am, caller ID was just coming into vogue. You could simply call someone up and they wouldn’t know who it was who was on the other end of the line. It was easy to bust out some fantastic crank calls.

In time, with new technology, it became too easy for your target to figure out who was on the other end. Sure there were some amateur things one could do to conceal their number, but inevitably something fishy would show up like a private number.

Luckily advances in technology have also aided the prank caller. Today to make funny prank calls you need a little bit of ammo in your clip if you know what I mean. There are new companies which have sprung up that give us jokesters the tools to truly wreak havoc with our targets. My favorite is 123Spoof.

123Spoof provides, for a small price everything that you will need to take your prank calls to another level. You may be wondering what I’m talking about, so let me let you in on the secret.

If you’ve ever wanted to prank call somebody but didn’t want either your phone number to come up or the dreaded PRIVATE tag to come up either, what could you do? You certainly didn’t have a lot of options. It seemed as though the targets had secured the advantage. But 123Spoof has tilted the odds. With their service you can make it so that your phone call shows up on their caller ID as whatever number you want. Think about that for a minute.

You could crank your friend Matt and have the call show as Matt’s phone as being from your mutual friend Kevin! Or you could prank your dad and have the show call as coming from the IRS! The possibilities are endless.

That’s the kind of tool that 123Spoof provides. Yet it does not stop there. I bet you can see why prank callers call 123Spoof their best friend.

Imagine this scenario. You want to prank somebody with some really funny prank calls. You have this one prank call idea but it requires you to use a VERY convincing female voice. Can YOU do a VERY convincing female voice? Or if you are female pretend that you need to do a male voice.

Well, and again I am happy to say, that 123Spoof has come the rescue. With their prank calling service you can actually use their computers to alter your voice in a super believable way! If you are a male you can turn your voice into a female voice, and if you are a female you can easily do a male voice. Imagine the possibilities with that!

I know it is too exciting for a prankster, joke maker like me to even think about! I bet you are in the same boat as I am in. With 123Spoof you can make some really funny prank calls. I guarantee it.

But the fun does not end there. With the prank calling service provided by123Spoof you can do many more things. My next favorite feature is the call record feature. With this feature you can take any phone call and easily record it. So if the prank call goes really well, or hell even if it does not, you can listen to it again and again whenever you want to. I have even emailed some of my best prank calls to my friends and I use one on my answering machine in my office. I know, I’m crazy!

So you can see how there are many tools available to you and how it is possible for me to say that there are both prank call pros and amateurs. The amateurs simply pick up the phone and dial while the professionals use the tool box. They alter their voice, they change their number, and of course they record the call so they can play it again and again.

So, if you are interested in truly taking your prank calling to another, try 123Spoof. You’ll be happy that you did.

Now, assuming that you have your toolbox in hand and have decided that you want to bust some seriously funny prank calls, what is your next step. The next step is to decide who your first target will be.

I have found that the best targets for prank calls are people that you already know. It can be fun to crank strangers, but if you are a true professional you’ll have a lot more fun calling acquaintances and even your friends and family. But remember the point of a prank call is to have fun, not to be mean or threatening.

REMINDER: In the United States it is a crime to do any criminal activity including but not limited to threatening or harassing people over the telephone. And don’t forget it!

So, once you’ve decided on a target you are going to need a really funny prank call idea. These can be a lot of fun to come up and the wilder the better the call can go. Make sure you’re recording it! For instance, I like to call my buddy pretending to be from the Las Vegas hotel that he once stayed at. Once I have him believing that I am the Grand Bellagio hotel, I can wreak serious havoc with his sensibilities.

But, remember the possibilities are endless. Try to think of people that your friends might not want to hear from but would certainly take the call if their phone rang. These types of prank calls make really funny prank calls and I can do nothing but recommend them.

There are lotsa good prank call ideas to be found online as well. If you need some funny prank calls for inspitation, just google funny prank calls and see what you get. You can also listen to some crank calls made by the experts, like the Jerky Boys. These can provide the basis for your own hilarious prank calls and I can only recommend that you see the tricks that the masters have used as you begin to become a certified jokester on your own.

Just remember that prank calls are meant to be funny. They are not meant to be threatening or to promote illegal behaviors in any circumstances. Also, be aware that, unless you are using 123Spoof, your targets will from time to time know that it is you. So don’t say or do anything that is going to come back to haunt you in the future. Keep things civil, of course.

I know that not everyone who reads this blog has what it takes to bust hilarious prank calls out there. Most people simply do not have the perverse sense of humor or the take charge attitude that is necessary to really have fun prank calling. If you think you do then you have come to the right place.

Be certain that you use everything at your disposal to join the rest of us prank call professionals. Once you truly make that perfect prank call you will realize why it is that we do. It is just SO much fun.

Finally, if you make any funny prank calls make sure you leave a comment and tell me what you did.
