Prank Call Ideas

There's no doubt about it, prank calls can be damn funny and the growth of websites dedicated to new and inventive prank call ideas is evidence that this type of practical joke is still hugely popular. Over the years prank call ideas have had to become increasingly clever as old jokes become tired and people start to become that little bit more wary when they receive an unusual phone call.

If you're on the lookout for prank call ideas there are lots of sites you can check out on the web which will appeal to the prankster in you, but beware that the safest prank call ideas and the ones least likely to get you into trouble are the ones that don't involve the emergency services. As funny as you might think it is to get the fire brigade to turn up at the local school which isn't actually burning down, bear in mind that it will cost the local authorities a huge amount of money and could mean you end up paying a visit to the local county court!

The best prank call ideas are ones where the recipient ends up seeing the humorous side of the call as well and this can actually be funnier than if they hang up the phone in irritation. Although lots of forums dedicated to prank call ideas might just disagree! It all depends on your personal sensibilities. If you're trying to think of new prank call ideas and you have a slightly wicked sense of humour, the best way of testing the idea out is to ask yourself how irritated you would be if someone pulled the joke on you. If you think you'd see the funny side of it when you found out it was a prank call, then go for it. If some of your prank call ideas are erring on the side of nuisance calls, then again just think it through a bit more carefully. The last thing you want is a phone call from the police which will have a less than funny outcome.
