Here is an amusing "prank call" idea
 
You know how on the back of McDonald's bags it says, like, "Tell us how we're doing"? I think everyone should call up McDonald's, and instead of bitching them out, immediately go into this long series of compliments to the person you are speaking to on the phone, and whoever he/she is will get SO very confused.

It will be amusing, go on do it.

Pretty sure Longmont Potion Castle did something similiar to this (though it was in a call to Orange Julius) (and it was surreal).

THAT IS FUCKING HILARIOUS HAHAHAH OH MY HAHAHAHA OH MY HAHAHAHA OH OH OH MY HAHAHAHAHA


here's an EVEN BETTER IDEA, well ok maybe not BETTER because that made me crap and piss myself from laughing so fucking hard, but here is an idea that might be almost as amusing: SPLIT YOUR COCK WITH A CHISEL LIKE IT WAS A GEODE YOU FOUND IN A QUARRY!! HAHAHAHA

My favorite is the old classic where you call up someone at home and ask if their sofa is running. When they say "yes," you say "you better go catch it."

i once wrote a note for my mother stating 'mevrouw de leeuw heeft gebeld' (which literally means: mrs. lion called, 'de leeuw' is a pretty common last name here) and then the phone number of the zoo. the best part when she called was when she actually made the call and got someone on the line who played along, so she had a short conversation and then said 'that's strange, this man told me i just missed her, she left for africa'.

Why would their sofa be running? Perhaps if you substituted "refrigerator" for sofa it would work better. It still wouldn't be funny but it would work better. Hope this helps.

I once called a store and pretended I was interested in finding out what hours it was open. Hilarious! You should have heard the person on the other end. It was like they thought I was serious.

demonrail666 06.03.2009 03:38 PM

Why would that be odd? I've called shops before, to find out their opening hours. Am I missing something here?

gmku 06.03.2009 03:41 PM

It's at least as amusing as summer's idea.

Yes, you're missing something. I think it's called my intended sarcasm.

afterthefact 06.03.2009 03:43 PM

Next, you should ask them if they take checks! Whatever they say, just go with it, man!

gmku 06.03.2009 03:45 PM

Yeah, pretend you're really agreeable. That's always good for a laugh!

floatingslowly 06.03.2009 03:46 PM

Then, after you get off the phone, go there and actually buy the stuff you were talking about! AND WRITE A CHECK! (Assuming they told you they take checks. Otherwise, use another acceptable form of payment.)

atsonicpark 06.03.2009 03:51 PM

Longmont Potion Castle has already done everything there possibly is to do with prank phone calls.

Man, you are brilliant! I can't wait to try this. I'll let you know how it goes.

I am so psyched.

afterthefact 06.03.2009 04:03 PM

After they hand you your receipt and you leave in a courteous fashion, those guys will be all like "WTF?!?"

jon boy 06.03.2009 04:03 PM
