Fonejacker is shit. I have heard funnier crank calls on the Internet. The pterodactyl crank call is a golden classic*, and it is better than the sum of crank calls in Fonejacker. It has the intelligence of a singular ant in the Arctic. It’s tired stereotypes and people that have guessed it’s a piss-take. It’s listening to slightly bemused/annoyed people deal with a moron. Borat without the brains behind Borat.
I do not approve of misoneism, they’re both fairly conventional shows, but out of the nominations The Armstrong and Miller Show or Ponderland should have won.
* Have a friend stand away from the phone, and initiate the phone call. Start a normal conversation, then cut the conversation by saying “shit! It’s a pterodactyl!” (or similar) while a friend squarks in the background like an angry pterodactyl, then fight said pterodactyl and politely hang up “gotta go, gotta fight me a pterodactyl! (click)” (or similar). Works best on live TV and radio phone-ins that don’t have a delay.
