• From impersonating someone’s idol to
lying to an old lady about winning the lottery,
the Planet Dolan crew re-enact more of the
best true stories from our subreddit about
the weirdest prank calls we’ve ever made.
I’m Melissa – or Doopie – and today
I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by Babyfur07 Pringle
One time Pringle and his sister wanted to
try out this online soundboard that was full
of Michael Jackson voice samples, so they
prank called a stranger.
When the man on the other end picked up, Pringle
used Michael’s voice to talk about handcuffing
children to a bed and feeding them milk and
cookies.
Instead of realizing that it was an obvious
prank, the man got really upset and said,
“You’re one sick puppy, Michael!
How the hell could you do that!?”
He started ranting and raving – and didn’t
once question that it was Michael Jackson
who was randomly calli ng him.
Pringle had to bury his face in a pillow to
keep from laughing.

Danger Dolan
When Dolan was in the seventh grade he prank
called Pringle from a payphone.
When Pringle picked up Dolan put on his best
recorded operator voice and said, “Hello.
Your friend is trying to call you.
Press one if you’d like to talk to them,
or press two to hear more options.”
The always-gullible Pringle waited a few seconds,
then pressed one.
Dolan led him through a few more ridiculous
operator prompts, and Pringle fell for every
single one.
In the end, Dolan gave himself away by bursting
out laughing.
He’s never let Pringle live down his stupidity.
Number 8 was submitted by Emmafeist1231 GhostToast
When GhostToast was in the seventh grade he
and his friends prank called a local Chinese
restaurant.
When a woman answered GhostToast told her
he was going to come in and shit all over
their tables!
The woman didn’t speak much English so she
had no idea what he was saying.
GhostToast told her three times that he was
coming in to paint her restaurant brown, but
she didn’t understand.
She kept saying, “Okay.
What time you come in?”
GhostToast and his friends laughed long and
hard about this prank.
By the time they finished they had a serious
hankering for Chinese food…

Emojie
This one time Emojie and his friends were
having a big night out.
They were super drunk and decided that obviously
it would be a great idea to prank call businesses.
Emojie decided to prank call this mobile mechanic
company called ‘Lube Mobile’.
Unfortunately no one answered – which made
sense seeing as it was the middle of the night.
So Emojie left voicemail where he drunkenly
ranted about he really needed lube and how
he’d heard they were the lube experts.
He imagined the workers coming in on Monday
morning and having to hear such a stupid message
from some drunk kids.
The funniest part is Emojie only remembered
their phone number because their ad had such
an annoyingly catchy jingle on it.
So their advertising worked – just probably
not the way they wanted it to…
Number 6 was submitted by Agent_Nightmare
Hellbent
One day Hellbent was bored so he prank-called
a stranger.
When a sweet old lady picked up Hellbent told
her she’d just won the lottery.
This made her day!
She was so excited that she started listing
all the different ways the money would change
her life.
Hellbent told her to listen very carefully
to this next part.
He said that to collect her winnings she had
to call the following number.
Hellbent then read out three quarters of a
made-up phone number, then hung up before
she could write down the final digits.
Hellbent gained a great story, while the old
woman was left with nothing but disappointment
and an empty bank account…
Number 5 was submitted by buublebutt12 Pandora
One time Pandora went to a sleepover at Ramona’s
house.
Ramona wanted to prank call her ex-boyfriend,
but she was worried he’d recognise her voice
so she dialled and handed the phone to Pandora.
When the ex answered Pandora had no idea what
to say, so she randomly blurted out, “Hello!
I’m just calling to say that your PornHub
account was not paid this week so it’s going
to be shut down.”
Everyone expected him to see straight through
the prank, but instead he outed himself by
saying, “That’s weird…
I thought I paid it this month…”
Pandora laughed out loud, so Ramona had to
quickly hang up the phone.
Number 4 was submitted by Laila-Chan Andie
Andie had a friend who was obsessed with a
certain YouTuber…
Andie thought this obsession was getting out
of hand so decided to mess with her a bit.
First she downloaded a really good voice changer
app, then tweaked her voice so it sounded
like the perfect imitation of this YouTuber.
She then called her friend and said, “Hiya!
I heard you’re a fan of the YouTube channel
Planet Dolan?
Just thought I’d give you a call to say
thanks for watching!”
Andie’s friend flipped out.
After chatting to her biggest hero for a few
minutes, she couldn’t contain her excitement
and said, “HERE’S MY ADDRESS!
PLEASE COME AND HAVE SEX WITH ME!”
Then she gave her actual real address.
It’s now years later and Andie still hasn’t
told her friend it was all a prank.
It’s too awkward for her.
Her friend still thinks it was real, and she
still talks about the time she almost met
her favourite YouTuber…
Number 3 was submitted by strangepelican Slapped
Ham
Back in the days before caller ID, Slapped
Ham used to pick names with addresses from
the phonebook to prank call.
He’d call them and say he was from the local
electricity company and that a nearby accident
had crossed the power lines with the phone
lines.
He said a technician was untangling the mess
and that it was critical they didn’t answer
their phone for the next two hours.
If they did the person calling them could
be zapped by heavy voltage!
Once the person on the other line accepted
this story, Slapped Ham would hang up and
wait.
A few minutes later he would call back to
see if they’d pick up.
If they didn’t answer, Slapped Ham would
just keep calling and calling until they got
so annoyed by the non-stop ringing that they
had to pick up.
As soon as they said ‘hello’, Slapped
Ham would scream like he was getting painfully
electrocuted and listen to the person on the
other end freak out.
Number 2 was submitted by mikeageles17 Nixxiom
When Nixxiom was younger he and his friends
got together to prank call a bunch of pizza
places.
He pretended he was throwing a party and made
up totally elaborate pizza orders.
Then when the person on the line asked for
a delivery address, Nixxiom would shout, “Nowhere!”
and hang up.
They did this a bunch of times – and then
Nixxiom’s phone started ringing!
It was the police calling!
Nixxiom knew his parents would kill him if
they found out, so he put on a really deep
voice and pretended to be his father.
The cop explained that there’d been prank
calls coming from this number and Nixxiom
acted like a shocked parent.
He held the phone away and pretended to yell
at his son.
Pretty soon he was putting on two voices to
play two separate roles – the father and
the son.
He acted out this huge argument that ended
with the father grounded his son.
When it was over, Nixxiom got back on the
line to apologise to the police officer.
The police officer accepted Nixxiom’s Oscar-worthy
performance.
He said it was good to see parents still disciplining
their kids and dropped all charges.
