(The two most common prank calls, as implied above, are "Do you have Prince Albert in a Can?" and "Is your refrigerator running?") The trope also lives on in the form of Prank Answers, usually directed at telemarketers and scammers. Though the trope does live on for call-in talk shows and similar, where the caller doesn't care if their ID is known and often prank callers are seen as All Part of the Show.
Prank Calls are usually considered a form of Harassing Phone Call. The most popular joke used when prank calling someone is " Is your refrigerator running? You'd better catch it!" Punny Names are also popular, especially when calling a person who then has to ask for the punny-named person, leading to awkwardness such as " I'm looking for Amanda Huggenkiss."įor amateurs, at least, this has been made largely extinct in Real Life because of caller ID and call-blocking features that allow telephone users to block calls from "Private"/"Unavailable"/"Unknown"/"Restricted" phone numbers (and thus averting potential for a Prank Gone Too Far). These pranks are mostly just jokes and puns. The Prank Call trope is where a character decides to prank another by calling them on the telephone.
