Funny Prank Call Ideas for Random People
I thought the best way to go about this was to break the list down into the different people you’ll be calling. After all, you can’t really use the same prank on someone who knows your voice or your number; it just won’t work! This first list is for random people. So check these out!
1. Call and ask if they want to take part in an important survey. If they say yes, start asking them random questions about food.
2. Call and ask about classes they listen to online. When they seem confused, just keep selling it.
3. Call and ask for a random name. When they say you have the wrong number, ask for a different name. Keep this going as long as you can.
4. Call a random business and exclaim that you are quitting. This is a classic, but you can never go wrong with this beauty.
5. Call and pretend to be an angry Amazon customer who got a damaged package. Really put on the angry customer attitude and sell it!
6. Call them and act like they really hurt your feelings. Make up a situation that happened earlier that day and put on the waterworks.
7. Call and pretend to be a laundry service, act like they forgot to pick up their wedding dress, and make up a funny story to go along with it. Something like, ‘Just because the wedding got canceled does not mean you get to leave the dress here.”
8. Call someone and say that their name was written on the inside of a bathroom stall and to ‘call this number to hear a funny joke.’ When they say you have the wrong number, ask for a joke anyway.
9. Call and ask about their life story. Say you are doing a project for school and need to know.
10. Call and ask random questions right as they answer. Like, do you like cats or dogs more?
