“Gratuitous and mean.
Sure I laughed hard a few times before realizing that the person they’re making fun of is genuinely distraught. Most of the people they prank are lower to lower middle class working folk that are caught like a deer in the headlights and stay on to listen to the nonsense out of fear of losing their jobs or hurting their business. And yes, most are either genuinely stupid or they don’t speak English very well.
It’s most fun when the people they prank understand they’re being pranked and start laughing before they hang up. Or they had this professor from NY that kind of became a participant of the episode for a bit and that was cool.
But it all stopped for me when I heard the hosts make fun of the person they were pranking while they were on hold. There was nothing clever about it, it was just mean. They just mentioned how incredibly stupid she is and is down to her last brain cell….
Watch any shows by Nathan Fielder. Or Nathan For You on Comedy Central. Those are pranks done right.
This crap is lame, though here’s my favorite one they did :
my boyfriend and I had bum sex in your toilet and now he has diarrhea”
That’s gold right there.”
