Title: Newbie Prank Caller Calls Christian Help Hotline.
Post by: Teh Lime on July 20, 2006, 10:52:25 AM
Today I have found out what I really want to be when I grow up: A prank caller. Yes, it took me 14 WHOLE YEARS to find that out.

Okay, so as I was saying, I called website/organization of "goody-two shoes Christians" (Read: Neo-Nazis) who are all about "keeping the family together" and being complete, homphobic, closeminded asses. (Their website (http://www.family.org/).) My friend found their contact page (http://family.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/family.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=14190&p_created=1093474484&p_sid=EMyUQ_ci&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD03MTAmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX2NweCZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1), so I thought it'd be fun to call them. The first time I called, I hung up because I was too nervous. The second time, however, I managed to say something:


"Hello, thanks for calling, this is Call A Family. I am Chris. How may I help you?"
"I have a question."
"Yes, what is it?"
"Does anyone at Call A Family masturbate loudly?"
"... I'm sorry, what was your question?"
"OHNOTHINGGOTTAGOBYE! *hangs up*"

Woot. I'm going to call them a few more times~

(Also, no offence to most Christians. I'm just having fun with this.)

My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself. nice profession choice :) but ur gunna need a little work. I like ur choice of  target though, ne1 that treats others less deserves that kind of stuff in my opinion. Call back a couple times and find out when chris isnt there(this prolly shooldnt be done from ur fone if they have caller id)cuz chris will know ur PhUxxiN6 with him. Find sum1 else that works there to prank sum1 that dosnt know wat ur trying to do. And practice ur pranx b4 calling like into a tape recorder or another fone to make sure u have the prank. Try to sound serious and try hard not to laff, cuz then they will know wat ur doing.Thats prolly the best advice i have 4 u. ;D

your technique sucks. but it reminds me of a shitty article i wrote when i was probably as young and just as stupid as you (hence the article being ridiculously dumb).

http://www.phonelosers.org/upl/upl014.html

It's a prank call primer. So you know, advice for idiots who don't know how to prank call.

Why, again, did you bother posting this?

When I was 14, I used to call random people and hold my battery-operated-laugh-box up the phone, which produced funnier calls than this one.

Relax and have more fun with it than immediately spouting off insults or profanity. Impersonate some entity of importantance. Be a radio DJ, police officer, the devil, etc. String them along as long as you can. And record it. Audio will take you a lot further than transcripts in your 'career'. Have fun

You don't have to post a thread everytime you do something.

  Like, calling me or prank calling someone.
