The only thing on the planet that is worse than a bad joke is a bad prank call. While these may be harmless practical jokes, they are hardly funny, which is missing the point of the entire exercise.

Do you have any messages for me." # 2 Place a call to the local pizza place and insist on ordering for Chinese food. When they say they don't serve the cuisine, throw a tantrum, and tell them why they should cater to customer needs. # 3 Place a call to the person you are playing a prank on. When the person picks up the phone and says Hello, answer with a Hello. Then when they ask who you are insist that they called you and they should tell you who they are. Another twist on this would be to repeat everything that the person on the other end says. # 4 This is one of the pranks to pull on your brother if you are trying to make him pay for something he did. When he is out with his friends, place a call to him and pretend to be an engineer from the cellular phone service.

Get him to repeat some stupid and nonsensical phrases but before going there start off with simple statements. You will have the pleasure of listening to his friends cackling in the background. # 5 Call up a friend and pretend to be someone who is offering them a job. Praise their skills and how they have been recommended by several industry specialists. This is bound to make them happy and then start playing the fool with them.

The call can end in a good laugh all around. # 6 Call up your victim (a guy) and as soon as he picks up the phone, get a girl to say, "Hey, you need to know something. It is bad news.... I'm pregnant."

Ask him some of the most embarrassing questions that you can think of. # 8 Call up a random number and as soon as the person picks up the phone ask him or her, "Where do babies come from?"
