Phone prank ideas without going overboard

We have all done them at some point. And we have all been victims of them at some time. Sometimes they are funny, others not so much, but they serve us to have a laugh with friends or to combat boredom. Are the phone jokes. There are many ideas, and we have compiled them in this post.

Go ahead, we are not responsible for whether the recipient of the joke takes it well or badly. We leave it up to you to decide to whom, in what way and with what intensity the "grace" is done. because we all like laugh and have a fun time but not everyone fits these things in the same way.

Obviously, it is always advisable to make calls from a hidden number, in order not to reveal our identity. Here we explain how to call from a hidden number

Another important aspect of a successful phone prank is have certain acting qualities. We have to know how to execute our role well and be convincing. Only in this way will we be able to confuse our “victims”.

Pizza delivery

A classic. The prank consists of pretending to be a food delivery person. We call our friend or victim to let them know that your order is at the door. When he tells us, surprised, that he has not asked for anything, we will insist on our version. The conversation could go as follows:

"Hello, I'm the pizza delivery guy. I am here, in the portal, but no one opens it for me.
"But I haven't ordered any pizza."
"How come you didn't order pizza?" I'm calling the number you left when you placed your order over the phone.
-That can not be.
—Look, the pizza costs €25. Are you going to pay it or not? I'm not going to move from here until I pay.

The talk can continue with a growing anger by the fake pizza chef, to put pressure on the victim of the prank so that they end up losing their nerve. Of course, when she appears in the portal to pay for pizza or to confront the delivery man, she will find nothing but a lot of laughs.

Did you call my girlfriend?

For this joke you have to put yourself in the role of jealous boyfriend. And a little aggressive, if we want to give the call a little more spice. There is someone insistently calling our girlfriend or boyfriend and that bothers us a lot. The conversation could go like this:

-Hello. My girlfriend is receiving calls from this phone and I want to know who is calling her. I dialed from her phone and you answered. What do you want? Why are you calling my girlfriend all the time?

Regardless of the reaction of the person we call, we must pressure him (without escaping laughter) so that he gets nervous. It is not necessary to reach physical threats, but a "tell me where you live" will be enough to raise the tension.

hit car

For this phone prank to be successful, the recipient of the call must have a car. And let us know your license plate. The idea is claim damages from a blow or an imaginary accident suffered by our vehicle. We have to be very serious for you to believe what we are telling you:

-Good. I'm calling about the note you left on the windshield of my car stating that you hit him.
"How do you say?" A note? If I haven't had any hit with the car...
"Let's see, I have a note here with his phone number and his car license plate." Are you telling me that you are not responsible?
—This can't be, you must be confusing.
"Isn't that the license plate of your car?"
-Yes but not me…
—Well, look, I inform the police and you give the explanations to them.

You can stretch the joke as long as the other person on the other end of the phone can take. Or hang up pretending to be very angry and leaving our interlocutor with doubt. Will the police come to clear up the misunderstanding?

The power outage

A joke to get rid of the boxes to those who suffer it. And it is that no one likes to have their electricity cut off at home. This prank can also be played by threatening a water or gas cut, but announcing a power outage it is more effective, because it affects the light. It is yes, to be credible, in addition to having poise and power of conviction, we will have to handle certain concepts of technical and administrative language. An example could be this:

—Good afternoon, I'm calling from X, the subcontractor of your electric company. This morning we have been checking your meter and we have been able to verify that it has been tampered with, with a referral to another home. Are you aware of this irregularity?
—I don't understand anything, I haven't manipulated the counter.
"Aren't you stealing electricity from another neighbor?"
-But what does it say? You are making a mistake, I haven't touched anything.
'I'm very sorry, but I'm obliged to notify your electric company. When the meter is tampered with, the supply will be cut off.
"Are they going to cut off my electricity?" It can't be, it has to be a misunderstanding.
"Do you have anything to say in your defense?"
—Wait, don't do anything, this needs to be cleared up.

If at this point we still haven't burst out laughing, we can try tighten the nuts a little more on our poor victim, to take it to the limit:

—Listen, I think it's very ugly to steal electricity from your neighbors. I will record your attitude in the report. Furthermore, this is also a crime. The thing is going to get very black.

The contest prize

Another classic joke: you have to impersonate the host of a radio show (an invented program, of course) and tell our victim that his phone number has been chosen at random for a contest. There may be, for example, a thousand euros at stake if you get the answers right to a series of simple questions. In order for the recipient of the call to believe us, we will have to express ourselves as a real presenter.

With this joke we can have our victim entangled in an endless list of easy questions: What is the capital of Spain, what color are polar bears, what is half of four... He will be right one after another (you have to have many questions prepared). It is possible that after twenty responses, you begin to realize that someone is pulling your leg.
