Fonejacker

BoingBoing linked to a very funny video from a show in the UK called Fonejacker where an English comedian called Kayvan Novak makes a prank phone call to an electronics store, pretending to be a foreigner who calls DVDs “doovdes” and the electronics company JVC “joovke.” I don’t generally care for the prank call genre, but I laughed out loud with this one. YouTube has a number of Fonejacker clips. There is a comprehensive catalog of them here at Fonejacker.tv. A number of them involve a fake Ugandan trying to fool people into giving their bank account info to him over the phone. Have any of our readers in the UK seen the show? Too funny!
