Do you know what Sunday is? Besides being Apple's 36th birthday, it's April Fools Day. The one day out of the year when you're allowed to play a prank on your friends without fearing for your physical well-being. If you're like us, you're already plotting and planning. If you're not, well, don't worry—we have a suggestion: prank calls. We're not talking about the old school "Is your refrigerator running?" jokes. Nah, we're talking about spoofs that may cause a rift between you and one of your boys.
To get your creative juices flowing, we decided to look through the submissions archives at Prankdial.com, a site and mobile app that allows you to send pre-recorded messages—complete with pauses—to your friends, and see what kind of hilarity we could find.
10. Why You Call My Boyfriend?
Listen:
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Oh, and a woman who is being told that she should feel scorned because the man she's been seeing is actually taken. Things escalate quickly as one girl attempts to rile up her unsuspecting friend. Luckily, she puts and end to the ruse before things took a turn for the worse.
9. Pizza Delivery
Listen:
Ah, the good ol' pizza delivery prank. It never gets old. Neither does hearing a dude seething at the thought that someone's going to drop off a crazy amount of pies that he didn't order.
8. Too Stupid to Drive
Listen:
We get the feeling the guy on the business end of this prank call had an inkling that this was not official state business. Why? Because upon hearing that the caller was a man named "Bill from the city court house," he responds curtly with, "Who the fuck are you?" Amazing.
7. Why You Call Me?
Listen:
Peep game: This prank caller got her victim so pissed that he threatens to hang up the phone and call her back just to prove a point. What that point is we have no idea.
6. Credit Card Fraud
Listen:
In these trying economic times, it's cruel to use someone's credit as the butt of a joke. But that's exactly what goes down here when a woman posing as a rep from credit card agency tells a guy that one of his accounts was used to purchase lavish gifts. You want to make someone see red? Play with their money. It's always funny.
5. Where is Jared?
Listen:
"Don't raise your voice to me! I'm not an igloo!" To paraphrase Will Ferrell, we have no idea what that means, but it got us going. This caller breaks the "no woman and children" rule and prank calls the mother of a 12-year-old boy named Jared. We give props to the mother for keeping her cool.
4. Where's My Paper?
Listen:
When asked if he stole his neighbor's newspaper, the unsuspecting guy responds with what may be the best comeback in prank call history. We won't ruin it for you, listen for yourself.
3. The Bieber Movie
Listen:
This is cold-blooded humor. Calling under the guise of a member of Justin Bieber's management team, the caller makes a poor little teenage girl believe that she's been chosen to participate in the Bieb's Never Say Never blockbuster. As you would imagine, the girl starts hyperventilating to the point of tears. If, like us, you find that sort of stuff funny, take a listen.
2. Indian Tech Support
Listen:
The only thing worse than having to call a tech company's pay-by-minute outsourced support line is having them call you.
1. Why You Call My Girlfriend?
Listen:
If someone calls your phone and askes you why you have been calling their wifey, do what this guy did and plead the fifth. Repeatedly.
