A prank call, also known as a crank call, hoax call, or phony phone call is a form of practical joke committed over the telephone. As with all practical jokes, prank calls are generally done for humorous effect, though there is a thin line between humor and harassment, and the person receiving the call may not find it funny.
Even very prominent people have fallen victim to prank callers, as for example Queen Elizabeth II bbc.co.uk article on Queen Elizabeth II prank call, who was fooled by Canadian DJ Pierre Brassard posing as Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, asking her to record a speech in support of Canadian unity ahead of the 1995 Quebec referendum. Two other particularly famous examples of prank calls were made by the Miami-based radio station Radio El Zol. In one, they telephoned Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and spoke to him, pretending to be Cuban president Fidel Castro bbc.co.uk article on Hugo Chávez prank call. They later repeated the prank, except that they called Castro and pretended to be Chávez. Castro reacted to the prank by calling them "bastards". El Zol was also fined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Prank calls in popular culture
Prank calls are generally done for the amusement of the pranksters themselves. Many pranksters record the calls to share the joke with an audience. Some performers such as the Jerky Boys have made a name for themselves producing albums of their recorded prank calls. Other prank call performers, such as The Touch-Tone Terrorists and Roy D. Mercer have garnered a following as well. The television show Crank Yankers is a series of real-life prank calls made by celebrities and re-enacted on-screen by puppets for a humorous effect.
