Whether you a teenager or an adult with a teenager spirit or simply someone who believes we are never too old for a prank call, you will enjoy reading this list. We all probably remember some of Bart Simpson’s classic prank calls which poor Moe fell for every time and made us laugh. Prank calls are a harmless way to laugh and make someone laugh and they have been here for a long time. It might seem like they are not so present as before, but the idea of a prank call still lives. However, while it is so amusing to the caller, it might not be very funny to the person on the other side of the line. That’s why it is important to have a few boundaries when making a prank call or in other words, we should be careful not to cross the line. There is a huge difference between wanting to have some fun and actually hurting people, so prank calls should be all about having fun. A terrifying and mean prank call can only scare the hell out of people and make them say unpleasant things. The real humor is in classical, fun prank calls, so we should try to stick to them.

According to the Network World, the first documented prank call dates back to 1884! Namely, a prankster was calling the undertakers to bring freezers and coffins for people who are allegedly dead. No one of those people actually died, so when they discovered what was going on, the victims started to look for the prankster.
This tells us that prank calls are actually almost as old as the telephone! And their popularity continued to grow ever since; probably all of us have made a prank call at least once in our lifetime. If you are into funny things, then read our list of 31 Funny Fortune Cookie Sayings for Kids.
The key to a successful prank is simplicity because if we try to make it complicated, the prank will most likely fail and only lead to confusion. So in the end, it’s not funny to anyone.

So keep it simple and don’t worry.
