Prank Calls?

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone else get entertained by listening to "professional" prank callers. I find it hilarious and am constantly finding my self listening to them. Am I the only one?

There is no such thing as a professional prank caller. They are just pre-scripted calls that have been set up in advance.

The Jerky Boys are still hilarious to me. Been listening to them since I got a bootleg tape in 6th grade (1989). Incidentally Mort's voice on Family Guy is Johnny Brennan, the Jerky Boy who did Sol Rosenberg.

Sal and Richard on the Howard Stern show are MASTERS of the prank call. Those guys get me rolling on the floor!

I like Tom Mabe too, he does 'reverse' prank calling on telemarketers. Great stuff, for instance a telemarker might call offering carpet cleaning and he'll act very suspicious and ask them if they can get blood...a LOT of blood..out of his carpet without telling anybody

Willie P. Richardson is great, too.

Nephew Tommy on the Steve Harvey show has some pretty hilarious stuff sometimes. . Some of the people he calls get supremely fired up.

That would be false. Most prank callers have live shows where listeners can call in and request.
