Don't. You know you are pretty much commiting to harrassment right here yeah? this is a crime, while you might think it is some bit funny it could land you in an amount of hot water. If you are thinking the defense of "a lot of big radio stations do it" those things are staged, pretty much 99% of decent shows will "ring" interns or hired actors to take their calls and to get upset, since it is actually harrassment no big company will broadcast themselves commiting a crime for entertainment, that doesn't work.
As for this call that you are advertising your youtube channel with on here... it isn't even remotely funny, like others have said comedy like this needs to have a script of things you can ask or say depending on how the other participant reacts, this was 1 unfunny idea for 3 minutes or so, awful to listen to. If you do insist on doing prank calls check out Rhett and Link on youtube, I'm not advising you ever make these pestering calls to people, but if you are going to be annoying at least be funny.
As for having not seen another prank call video on youtube.... http://bit.ly/1uk3dfo I don't believe you. The second result from that is fucking hilarious btw... also 100% fake, done with an intern but still it's funny as fuck.

dude, there are plenty of gamestop calls on the internet with millions of views that arent fake. i know that for a fact.
and yeah, ive seen that second result. you really think thats funny? im sorry, i know that my gamestop call inst that good, but at least im making shit up on the fly and using my brain. it certainly is not funny to just wait for somebody to answer and play a recording. i dont know.. just my opinion i suppose. we like our shit to be more authentic. actually, 100% authentic.

It's not authentic when everyone else does it.
These prank videos are the WORST, even worse than annoying Let's Plays and "rap battle" videos that plague YouTube. We are giving you good advice - quit this. It's just making people mad, not laugh. "OH MAN LOOK I JUST ANNOYED A MINIMUM WAGE WORKER AT GAMESTOP - COMEDIC GENIUS! I AM THE NEXT SEINFELD!!" It doesn't work that way.
Go practice improv, or stand up. Work on comedy and sketches. Work hard at it and you can succeed.
