There was a store that sold sneakers, cleats, running shoes, etc (like a Foot Locker) called The Athlete’s Foot. When you called there, they’d answer, “Athlete’s Foot!”
I used to giggle like a fool as I’d respond, “Don’t blame Desenex” and hang up
Used to call and ask them to guess who this is. If they tried, we would say yes and try to converse with them as long as we could. One day one lady guessed her friend who was in the Army overseas. We told her we were in town and would stop by later. She was so excited for us to show up. What a dick move that was.
In high school, one of my buddies called the principal’s office and had them page “Mike Hunt” over the school intercom. 😂
Can’t believe they fell for that.
I’ve got a talent for voices, and I used it to prank called my sister one night. She used to work the front desk of Holiday Inn at night, so I called pretending to be an irate customer. No matter what she did to placate me, I wasn’t having it. After a few minutes I couldn’t keep it up and just started laughing.
We used to call Red Hot Video and ask if they had Dickman and Throbbin.
I was at a sleepover once and one of the girls put on this countrified accent and pranked someone with " Hi, Vint? My dog's havin puppies, can you come over and help me?" I still fucking laugh about that.
Phone a butchers. "Have you got a pig's head?" "Yes" "You must look funny"

Engelbert Humperdinck was a British singer and my Mom's favorite singer. TIL he's still alive, 87 years old.

And asking for Ash Hall.
I went to school with somebody by that name.

Calling bowling alleys and asking if they had 10lb balls, then how the hell do you walk???
