    "no, they haven't announced it yet."

    "uhhh...yeah. right. okay, bye."

    I loved getting prank calls at gamestop because literally no one in the world could out deadpan me at the time

    Plus everyone at my store hated their jobs and there were rarely any customers in the store, so we would always match the vulgarity of the call and then one up it. It wasn't uncommon to hear something like "oh yeah? And how big exactly is your dick?" and just nod at the coworker on the phone

    can anyone out deadpan you now?

    A lady once asked me if Wii balls were out yet.
    She refused to believe they were an April fools joke in a magazine and that her teen son was a fuckhead.

    Just for Laughs Gags gang basically perfected the harmless prank for the most part. (Rare backfires seem to all be from the best in humanity like someone diving in a pond to randomly save a strangers fake phone that wasn't even part of the prank)

    Not letting me find any on phone atm to post some clips

    The only Crank Yankers I really laughed at was Bobcat Goldthwaite calling to sign into a talent agency as an impressionist.

    He tells the guy he can impersonate Bobcat Goldthwaite and does this over the top impersonation of himself all "Blaraaarghh I'm Bobcat Goldthwaite, I was in Police Academy!"

    The talent agency isn't impressed and asks if he can do anyone else like Christopher Walken.

    Bobcat goes "Yeah sure. Blaraaarghh I'm Christopher Walken!" in the exact same voice and I just lose it every time.

    I feel like the temptation to just fuck with him and say crazy shit about Australia would be way to high.

    Yeah we got chuzzwozzers and gringets. Bloody horrible things, suck you dry they will.

    Actually my sister was killed by a chuzzwozzer, please don't joke about that.

    Gringets though, that's a good one. Wouldn't hurt a blue ringed bandicoot.

    These were renewed pre merger. I suspect Bobs would live either way but I doubt Disney will keep any of these on fox next time theyre up for renewal. Simpsons in particular
