The prank call contest thread!!

[N00N00]

It's nice that more people having been posting pranks recently (and some rather good ones too). Therefore to encourage even more posts i figured we should have a prank call contest just as a bit of fun and to encourage responsible but innovative pranking.

(i did ask an admin if he would organise one, but he didn't get back to me so i guess that's a no)


After all the pranks are in (if we get any :) ) I'll open up a poll and then everyone can vote for which calls were the best. As a prize - maybe everyone can PROMISE to give rep points the winner(s) EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE WINNING CALL! maybe even the admins here could donate some rep points please?? Ideally the winning prank could go onto the main site, although i doubt that would happen.


CONTEST RULES

1. The call should be new - not something that has been posted already (I do realise thes kinda penalises those who have posted pranks recently so apologies to those people).

2. The pranks should be legal and responsible. This means no death threats, no calls to the emergency services or worthwhile charities (there are plenty of crap ones). No harassment of innocent citizens, no bomb scares or terrorist related bullshit. Bascially don't do anything that can get you into trouble - this is a contest for legal calls and so no one accepts any resposnsibilty for anything you do in your calls whatsoever.

3. Calls can be incoming or outgoing, soundboard or voice or whatever. NO BITCHING ABOUT soundboard v voice calls. They can both be equally funny or shit depending on the pranskster/victim

4. You can enter as many times as you like - though anyone posting large quantities or total crap can get lost.

5. Try to get your call hosted somewhere permantently so it can be judged by everyone. If it's not up somewhere and available for download on the closing date then you won't get any votes. Ideally it sould be an mp3 at around 32 - 128 kbps - all enormous downloads at stupid bit rates or in gay formats will basically be disqualified.

6. The closing date is March 15th.

7. If people don't agree with any of the point here I'll happily change them if there is a consensus. I've probably msised some imporatant stuff and would appreciate any suggestions. In fact I'd be happy if someone else would organise this as I'd like to enter the contest and wouldn't want to be seen as having influence over who wins in any way.

8. Good luck.

[MarsBarr]

in order for this to work we have to record the phone call right? hmmmm

[N00N00]

C'Mon. Anyone up for this?

If anyone has any better ideas or improvements please post it here.

[Disgustipated]

I'd do it. Too bad I didn't record my celebrity prank calls though, I had some really good ones.

[N00N00]

Well there's nothing stopping you doing some new calls and recording those is there? :D :

C'MON.


I INSIST!!!

[MPMaster]

I'll enter seeing no when else will. Mabye I'll win by defult :). Is it alright if i enter two calls? Well here they are Wana Trade? (http://www.kdkprankcalls.com/hostedpranks/monkey_phone/Monkey-Phone%20-%20wannatrade.mp3) and this one Da Downlow (http://www.kdkprankcalls.com/hostedpranks/monkey_phone/Monkey-Phone%20-%20Da%20Downlow.mp3)

[N00N00]

Hi thanks for entering. Are those both brand new calls that haven't been posted before?

Remember this contest is FOR NEW CALLS ONLY. Also you are asking questions about issues i have covered in the rules already. Please read the rules again (or for the 1st time - which ever is the case).

The reason I wrote the rules was so people wouldn't keep having to ask annoying questions. Feel free to ask any questions not covered in the rules.

[DeltaWeb]

my 2 cents. for ebaums world to support this, they are advocating illegal activity (harassment) i would suggest that ebaums world do not support this and state that it is a user held and organized activity and that they are not acountable for what goes on and the reprocussions of actions of those participating in the contest.

[MPMaster]

They are new :)

[slenkar]

Ill try to do some

[Garbage Can Lid]

I'm up for it.
:D -----I HAVE THE ULTIMATE PRANK IDEA FOR THIS!!!----- :D

[N00N00]

Ok looks like this is now a sticky! :bang:

TBH I think the rules I posted a perfectly clear on the legal side of things. Using the telephone is not illegal anyway, so as long as everyone stay within the law I can't see anything wrong in having a contest.

I'm glad so many people plan to enter - do remember you can submit as many calls as you want!

Why does it matter? I mean they are still good calls.

Plenty of people have done good calls and posted them over the years. this contest is to encourage new calls or new callers, it's not for recycling old ones.


I made the rules perfectly clear yet you totally ignored them and then lied about whether or not your calls had been posted before.
:insane: :banghead:

Anyone listened to my NEW calls yet??

[Citronic27]

Haven't made any pranks for months and months. Perhaps I'll get in on the action :)

[N00N00]

They are new :)

C'mon - don't bullshit me!

You've posted at least one of those calls here before, and quite a while ago too. This is a contest for new calls!

:banghead: :banghead: :shout: :shout:

[Garbage Can Lid]

DAMN IT!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

We have two phone lines in my house, one upstairs (my mom's), and one downstairs (my phone line). I can prank call people downstairs (on my line), when my mom is upstairs, without her hearing any of it, because I use the TeleTool 2000 to record pranks. The TT2 enables you to do the prank, without being heard. So, last night, I'm getting ready to do a prank to a SUPER GOOD place I thought of, when all of the sudden, I remember that I can't call long distance on my line, only on the upstairs line :banghead: . So, that means, the only time I can call the destination I want to call is on the upstairs line, when my mom goes somewhere :eek: . That's not going to happen anytime soon... our car, and truck are burried in 3 feet of SOLID snow, and ice (I live in Alaska, so what can I say?). I'm going to have to "unburry" my car and truck! The last time I did that, it took over 4 hours, and I almost died! Damn it, I want to contribute to this contest SO-OO-OO much, but I have to dig my cars out!!!

-Just to mention, my call is going to be a soundboard call (Arnold)-

Well, time's a wastin' ;) *Grabs snow shovel, and prepares for war*.

[N00N00]

Some of you people hould sign up for cheaper phone calls - I'm sure there must be some good services out there.

I can call an Uk number for 3p per call (that's 5-6 cents) - regardless of the call length. I can even call any number in the states for 3 p er call, plus 1p per minute

EDIT - forget that - looks like the prices were lowered last month. Calls to Germany, Canade and the USA are also 3p per call! Looks like I'm gonna be calling the states more!!!

All I do is dial a freephone number before I dial the actual number - my bill is seperate from the line rental

Hmmm... if I use a calling card to call ANY PLACE IN THE WORLD, it costs me 2 cents to talk for the first 20 minutes, after that, they start charging 2 cents per minute.

[N00N00]

Well why not use that card to call long distance in the states on your line? :confused: :confused:

[Garbage Can Lid]

Well why not use that card to call long distance in the states on your line? :confused: :confused:

That's what I do when I have to call (or prank call) long distance, but I have to use the upstairs line to do it from, because I can't call long distance downstairs. :banghead:

[MPMaster]

Sooooo....... Who won?

[Garbage Can Lid]

Sooooo....... Who won?

It ends on the 15th.

Damn, I can't get anyone good on the phone :banghead: .

[StanleyJenkins]

I have a bunch here. One is a call made by Eb's own Sol Rosenberg on the soundboards. The host of this show is completly clueless and we prank call his show weekly and try to BS our way into arguments with him and what not. In most of these pranks, we have absolutly no clue what we are talking about and just try to bs as much as we can. Instead of posting all the individual links, I'll give you the link to the gallery. Check them out!

Prank Calls to the Richard Syrett Show on Toronto 640am (http://www.stanleyjenkins.com/PrankCalls/)

My top 4 for the judge......
Call #: 1,2,5,6

Call #7 is Sol but it really wasn't that great.

All of them are honestly good so check them out!

[Liquid_NRG]

I'll for sure get in on this.

:D

Record some good calls! :cool:

[N00N00]

I'll for sure get in on this.

:D

Glad this is starting to get off the ground. Only a week left so as Leslie would say "we're running out of time!" :D

I've sent a couple of my calls to KDK for hosting, so you'll hear my entry soon.

[MPMaster]

C'mon - don't bullshit me!

You've posted at least one of those calls here before, and quite a while ago too. This is a contest for new calls!

:banghead: :banghead: :shout: :shout:
Why does it matter? I mean they are still good calls. But if those are the rules then i'm out. Just tell me.

[N00N00]

A couple of my new calls are now up at KDK's site. Apologies for the lack of calls recently, but I haven't been too well :(


These are calls to the American Teleservices Association - they are the people who try to ban things like "do not call" lists. Their freephone number actually got taken down back in 2003 becasue of all the prank calls they were getting :lol: They ended up with a member of staff just dealing with prank calls all day :bang:


therefore I'm pretty pleased to have got a decent call out of them - I would have expected them to hang up much sooner. The call was done over a month ago - other people are welcome to have a try, their numbers are now part of my sig :D :D :D

Here are the calls:

[Garbage Can Lid]

Here are some calls I made yesterday and today.

No, they’re not the absolute best in the world, but hey, at least I’m contributing, right?

Arnold Calls Chinese Palace (http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2NGRC5MI0JZLO09BL6XTL3U0AC) – This is my favorite, Arnold keeps insisting on getting to know some Chinese men .

Arnold Calls Driftwood Lodge (http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1M3CCRTVFXDRB15QZHWAHSGXR8) – This is the most gullible hotel in the world . This is about the fourth time in four months that I’ve booked a room with them, using a soundboard .

Call To Room 113 (http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2EDMPC4CIRYKV2HG1MMSLEYUKL) – This is how stupid someone in a random hotel room sounds when they’re woken up by “Bruce from the front desk” at 4 in the morning. You’ll have to listen to her really good in order to hear the stupid things that she says and replies to me with. In the end, she can’t seem to make up her mind on whether she wants the cops to escort her out of her room, or not. Sort of good, but the bottom line is that I pissed someone off :D .

:D Here's another Hotel call: Deadly Disease & Lice In Your Bed (http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1REQZKZUD88YY174QZ8PEFIIVJ)

<<<Please know that I called back and let her know that I was joking.>>>

I plan on making more calls, either today, or tomorrow, if I do, I will post them in this thread, until March 15th ;) .

If each call is downloaded over 25 times, it will no longer be availible for download, and I will re-link them if this happens, but you'll have to tell me when they're gone. [I]

:shuffle: Are they any good??? Which one is your favorite???

[N00N00]

Seeing as this contest has now got going I'll add that i think we should submit the winning call(s) to ebaum and hopefully get it on the main site.

OR WWW.RALPHIGE.COM

I WISH I KNEW THIS SITE EXISTED!

[N00N00]

Think I've heard one of those before. Thanks for sharing, though i guess being banned probably disqualifies you from winning.

Why was he banned? :confused:

[BanMeNoMo]

really, why was i banned? i didnt spam anything?

had to create a new SN and all.

well, enjoy my crank calls! lol

visit www.ralphige.com it has been updated...

[Doc]

BanMeNoMo - i don't know why you were banned the first time but this time you were banned for multiple accounts.

N00N00 and Garbage Can Lid - you will both be banned for 2 days if your double post's aren't edited ASAP.

[Garbage Can Lid]

Who won??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

[N00N00]

After all the pranks are in (if we get any :) ) I'll open up a poll and then everyone can vote for which calls were the best.


;)

Think I will extend the deadline for the benefit of those who posted their pranks today and for those who never managed to get their calls hosted in time.


Seeing as things get busiest here at the weekend we'll close the contest on Sunday and start voting on Monday (if that's ok with everyone???)

:( Shit, I wish I could listen to all of these, and make more calls (still waiting for the jackasses at Dell to pull their heads out of their asses :rolleyes: ). Oh, well, I'll just trust that they're good. :)

[N00N00]

Ok the contest is now closed.

Just noticed that a poll can only have 10 options in it so I'll pick 10 calls out and people can choose the winner from those 10.

Apologies for whichever calls don't make the short list, but i didn't realise polls had a restriction.

Thanks to everyone who took part!!! :bow: :bow:

[oohmeno]

make sure to include Ralphiges calls! he was banned but he still qualifies... the guy is the best at crank calls!

[Doc]

Ralphige Is Hillarious!!

Why Was He Banned??? I Wanna Hear More!!
why... are you his gay lover? im sorry... are you his BANNED gay lover?

[Garbage Can Lid]

N00N00, do banned people's calls still qualify? :confused: I'm not asking, in order to find out anything for personal gain, I just want to get an idea of who's calls are going to make the list. :)

[N00N00]

N00N00, do banned people's calls still qualify? :confused:

"What did i tell you earlier?" :rolleyes: :D :D :D


:lol:

Yes I reckon people who are banned are disqualified. I just noticed that most people who entered are now banned though :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

On top of that I'm certinaly not allowing calls that have been posted before as this was a contest for new calls, so guess we don't really have mnay calls to judge

[Garbage Can Lid]

N00N00/others, please hold on a while. I was getting my calls hosted on my own site (not built yet), but the guy who's setting it up is moving to Las Vegas, and cannot help me for a few weeks. I'm going to need to send it to a shitty host (youshareit.com) for this poll :rolleyes: .

Hold on, I'm uploading them, just incase my old links expire (and they will). I'll set up numerous backup links. PLEASE hold on. I'm assuming that the longest it will take, is 3 hours... 4 hours MAXIMUM! I'm currently operating on one slow internet connection :wtf: . EDIT-I'm only re-linking the calls on the poll that's coming out for this, not on this thread, or any other thread with these calls.

[ArnoldFukedYou]

why... are you his gay lover? im sorry... are you his BANNED gay lover?

Just for some curious reasons, are you a redneck?

Did I miss the winner of prank calls up for voting?

[N00N00]

no the poll is still running

perhaps your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others
