How to Think of Awesome Prank Call Ideas

Prank call ideas can range from mildly funny to absolutely side splitting, but thinking of the ones that will keep you laughing for days afterward isn't always the simplest thing to do. When trying to come up with prank call ideas you have to consider some of the fundamentals of what makes the perfect prank call and apply those to your prank call ideas.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 

   Disguising your voice to some degree is an absolute must and is part of all the best prank call ideas. By doing this you'll be able to imitate basically anyone that you want, and the limitations are endless. Plus, you'll have your target guessing more and that's part of the fun.

2. 

   You have to write down at least some points of what you want to say, but don't be too scripted. Really successful prank call ideas are never scripted because you have to go with the flow according to whatever the person you are pranking says in response, but if you don't at least have a guideline you might easily forget what you want to say while in the moment.

3. 

   Confusion is really the key, and is the foundation of all classic prank call ideas. You want your target to be so confused that they wonder what in the world is going on. This can be accomplished in a number of different ways like acting as though you are really old and confused, or that you can't properly hear them, or that you speak a foreign language and your English is poor.

4. 

   When thinking of prank call ideas, consider what type of response you are looking to get and create your idea around that. If you want to make someone mad then jot down some things that are sure to do that. If your goal is to make someone laugh then write down what will accomplish that. The more you have a goal in sight in the beginning the more effective your prank call ideas will be.

5. 

   Bring in some friends to help you think of prank call ideas, because there is nothing better than a mischievous think tank of people looking for a good laugh. Other people might have ideas for pranking someone that you'd never thought of, and are bound to help you create a hilarious and comical prank call.
