Prank Call Ideas (Part I)

Prank call ideas can be hard to come by. Here’s a prank call idea that I’ve used from time to time and had a lot of fun with.

The first thing you’re gonna need in order to make a prank telephone call is a telephone (duh!). Make sure you disguise your number and have a safe, quiet place to operate from. The last thing you want is your mom or your roommate stumbling into the room in the middle of a high-hilarity prank call.

Our prank call ideas come from Max G. of Dallas, TX. According to Max, this prank call idea has worked out well countless times for him. Here’s what he does.

He calls a restaurant impersonating a sensitive boy named “Jacob.” Jacob asks the male restaurant employee to check if there is a girl with blonde hair, Rachel, waiting alone in the lobby.

“She’s about 5 foot 6. One hundred and twenty pounds. Twenty years old.”

The answer is always no. This news that Rachel is not there is disturbing to Jacob. He asks the employee to look around the restaurant. “Where is she?” he wonders, clearly upset. (Maybe you can see where this prank call ideas is going.)

Of course the restaurant employee can not find Rachel.

At this point in the call, Jacob begins to break down — sobbing. He tells the employee that Rachel was supposed to meet him there — that Rachel is his girlfriend. Jacob starts to get angry. A week ago when they were supposed to meet up at a late-night restaurant, Jacob tells the male employee, Rachel ended up meeting and leaving with a guy in the parking lot. A stranger. “She cheated on me in his Buick in the parking lot,” Jacob tells the employee.

Jacob bemoans the fact that he is dating this slut and wonders why she ALWAYS cheats on him. And is never where she is supposed to be. Jacob cries a bit more. Finally, he apologizes to the employee and hangs up.

Now, for prank call ideas like this to work, you have to be able to change your voice a little. If you can’t do that then you can sign up for a service from 123 Spoof that will change your voice for this purpose.

Anyway, you want to wait five to ten minutes. All prank call ideas take a little set up time! Then you need to call back the late-night restaurant. This time you’ll call as “Rachel” — the slutty, inconsiderate girlfriend. When the employee answers, introduce yourself as Rachel. She says that she was supposed to meet up with her “pussy” boyfriend at this restaurant, but doesn’t think she’ll be able to make it. Is there a guy named Jacob there, she asks.

Of course, your employee will now start to tell Rachel that Jacob in fact called. Oh yeah, wonders Rachel. “Was he crying? That little puss,” she asks. Yes, he was says the employee. At this point in the prank call idea, you need to keep the employee talking for a few minutes. Ask him some questions:

Did Jacob ask about Brett?
What about Tony?
Did he say he was going to break up with me?

Finally, after a few minutes tell the employee that you are done with Jacob and you want to meet someone else. And NOW, quickly say: “I’m not busy right now, what are YOU doing?” And pause.

At this point you’ve either got him or you do not. (I told you my prank call ideas were devious!) If you do, he’ll quickly start to ask leading questions (which is hilarious) and he’ll start to tell you what time he is off from work. The hilarity can only ensue from this point.

Tell the employee that you’ll meet him at the restaurant a half hour after he gets off. Chances are he’s going to want to meet “Rachel!” Imagine how much fun you can have with that!

Max tells me that his prank call ideas work about half the time. And, when it does, he says he gets the most hilarious results. This might be one you’re going to want to record. Also, these prank call ideas are only for experienced callers, if you are not too familiar with making prank calls start with a less sophisticated idea. And remember that for prank call ideas like this to work you are really going to have to be able to successfully disguise your voice, but no doubt you already realize that for the really good prank call ideas you are going to have to do things a little differently.

Okay, well that’s all for today. We will back with more prank call ideas at our regular time!
