The Decency of Prank Calls

Listen to other very decent prank calls here, here, here, here, and here.

I believe it was back in 1987 when I realized I had an inordinate appetite for making prank calls. For it was then when my cousin and I phoned unsuspecting locals pretending to be a representative for Campbell’s Soup. If our victims claimed to prefer chicken noodle soup over chunky soup, they were berated and ordered to never purchase Campbell’s soup again. And that’s how my love for prank calls began.

Prank calling can be an extremely rewarding activity. Worthwhile subjects to broach with your prey include:

  • Extramarital affairs
  • Dog shit
  • Drugs and alcohol
  • Penis enlargements
  • Nipple elongation
  • Juvenile romance

Prank calling falls in the same genus as a good natured ribbing. In its purest form, it’s a lighthearted way of fucking with others. It encompasses the element of surprise, some improvisational yakkety-yak, and a somewhat gratifying control over hoaxed-out boneheads. There’s an abundance of decency in these calls that compounds with every new spiel.
