Forums - Gaming Discussion - funny gamestop prank

hey guys, i dont know if this is the right forum to post this in but either way, this is a pretty funny ass prank that i did awhile ago. its all about video games, and i thought you might enjoy it.

WARNING: this is very immature, and if you dont like or respect prank phone calls, then just say so. there is no need to be hostile with me, im really just trying to make people laugh and bring entertainment.. i know this stuff is super annoying to a lot of people and a lot of users on this site are way too mature for this kind of stuff, so if thats the case, just say so if you feel compelled to. again, im really just trying to make people laugh.

anyways, let me know what you think and i am open to any kind of constructive criticism :)

Honestly. I didn't find this funny at all. I've never been a huge prank phone call guy, but they CAN be funny if done well. All you did was ask game prices for 3 minutes, which mildly annoyed a gamestop employee. Nothing really happened. Sorry bro, swing and a miss.

thanks for your input :)

i can see how its not funny, and youre right about a lot of what you said haha. i think its ok. definitely not our best work, but a welcome change from what we usually put out on our channel. anyways, thanks for watching.



Honestly, I didn't like it. One of my problems was that the gag was a miss for me, and the whole video was almost basically the same gag with a few more thrown in.

A better prank call would be the last one, "Crazy Lady Cries over Prank Phone Call - HOT POP". It is much more dynamic and has many different jokes.

I think the hard part about phone pranks is that you have to make a ridiculous and funny call, but you have to be very subtle about it so the person would not realize what is happening. This is the other problem I had with this one. The person at gamestop seemed like he already realized it was a prank call, while the sir in the video before it was totally unsuspecting.

yeah.. me and my partner who makes these videos both read your comment, and we think youre spot on with your assessment. the beauty of trolling is making it subtle and having the person be ususpecting the whole way through. i will definitely keep that in mind in the future if we do another gamestop call. we are happy that you enjoyed our previous call though :)

Prank videos are over saturating YouTube and making YouTube unbearable.

If you want to make it big on YouTube do something new. Prank videos are a dime a dozen times 50.

i honestly thought that it was original, because i have never really seen any prank videos on youtube. most likely because i was always surfing completely different things, i would never run into prank videos. lol. and of course, i see tons everywhere. 

really though, our hot pop pranks are very original and better than most other prank calls i see on youtube. i know there are a lot of great gamestop calls out there, but i just wanted to throw this one up for starters.



Many modern day pranksters on youtube are just being dicks to people and not really going for anything funny. You were just being a dick. The premise sucked right out of the gate cause these guys probably deal with real shit like this all the time, cause in the end you were just being a dick customer.

The employees bought into the initial idea(good); which was not funny or going anywhere funny(bad). Then when the employee(s) found out you beat the dead horse for another minute of the audio(really bad).



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

they do deal with shit like that all the time. i work at a video game store.. thats basically where i got the idea from.

but anyway, i cant disagree with you on the bolded.. in all of our videos, you can say we are being dicks to people, although im not really sure how you can prank somebody without inconveniencing them..
