Telltale Games

Discuss any and all prank calls you have performed (or want to). I just call my local-ish EB Games and asked them why my Power Glove wouldn't work with my XBox 360. He then typed a bunch of stuff and told me their return policy.

I just called back and asked if they had any copies of MST3K for the Wii, and she said they would get them in about a week. Mystery Science Theater has NEVER BEEN MADE INTO A GAME.

It hasn't.
EDIT: I looked it up, and it actually has been. It's been made into an old PC text adventure.

Well, there is the 5-day Freakazoid prank call flood campaign, and the neverending Battletoads for the Wii flood that never disappoints!

My friend called a girl and said he was an FBI Agent.
He started rambling on about how aliens were hovering above his head.

The first time I played a prank call I panicked at the last second. They picked up and I just breathed heavily into the mouthpeice for two minutes before they hanged up.

I've done a few of those, although the best reaction I've ever got to it after asking for a preorder was, "Okay."

I don't know what to say, because I have a bit of a speech impediment problem.

Snicklin · 02/26/2009, 03:40 pm

*Riiiiing!*

Operator: This is the telephone operator. How may I help you?

Me: Hello, operator. I would like to make a collect call to Mars.

Operator: Uh, okay... would you like to manually seek an access point to call, or would you like us to locate the nearest access point for you?

Me: Yeah, I would like to locate the nearest McDonald's re-

*Operator gets rickrolled*

Best prank call ever. Too bad I never actually did it.

Ray-The-Sun · 02/26/2009, 04:30 pm

Not neccessarily a prank call, But I once sent about 5 text messages saying something like "50RRY WR0NG #", and each time I sent It it'd become less readible.

ig0rpwnwEd · 02/26/2009, 04:36 pm

I have never done one, because normal people AND telephone operators have it equally hard, but when they call me, I say something nonsensical like, "No! I will never approve of the cheese having access to unlimited free Wi-Fi!" And hang up. Once when I was shooting a home film I pressured a friend to say "She's not here, but you may speak to my toenail." when some person kept calling my mom about a magazine she didn't want anymore.

Maxilyah · 02/26/2009, 08:42 pm

I called Express Flooring once. Here's the conversation.
*Ring!*
Guy: Hello, this is Express Flooring. How may I help you?
Me: Hi, I'd like to have my floors expressed.
Guy: ...What?
Me: BAHAHA! *Hangs up*

Snicklin · 02/27/2009, 07:48 am

I don't even have the bravery to do so. I'm afraid I'd get a penalty or something.

Maxilyah · 02/27/2009, 09:05 am

Call from a pay phone. They'll never know. And calls to certain companies (like Express Flooring) are free!

Ray-The-Sun · 02/27/2009, 10:01 am

I once sent an MP3 called 'Outlaw Star Theme' to my brother and Guess what.

Snicklin · 02/27/2009, 01:44 pm

Who here has ever rickrolled anyone on a phone say "I"!

If you don't know how to do this, just follow these three simple steps:

1. Call the desired prank-ee, with earphones and a PC with the YouTube Rickroll* ready.

2. Start a chat. Make it sound engaging so the prank-ee will listen very close.

3. Once you run out of things to say, or when you think now would be a good time, click "play" on the video on your computer and hold up one of the earphones to the speaker on your phone and wait for the prank-ee to hang up.

Have fun!

*You can also use an MP3 player.

Guy in a Box · 02/27/2009, 01:51 pm

I'm probably going to do this on the nearest pay phone next time I see one. I just bought Never Gonna Give You Up on iTunes just cause I liked the song. I never thought it'd be so useful
