    When the caller hears “Never Gonna Give You Up” start to play, they’ll groan as they realize you’ve Rick rolled them.
    • Rickrolling is a term for pranking someone by sending them unsuspecting videos of Rick Astley’s mega-80s “Never Give You Up” music video. Since this prank is usually enacted online, the caller will never guess you’ve set them up by phone! [1]

    There’s something about hearing normal conversations sped up that can get almost anyone laughing. Calling the wrong number and getting the dial tone is common, but this sped-up version is much funnier than the one you’re used to hearing. [2]

    After calling this number, you’ll be greeted by a British woman who offers to play a selection of songs by the 70’s pop-duo Hall & Oates. There are no jokes involved, but the simplicity of this fun hotline can easily cause a chuckle. [3]
    • Give this number to a friend or family member who’s a Hall & Oates fan to make their day — and hopefully bring them a laugh.

    Up until 2017, 867-5309 was the most-called phone number after being made famous by Tommy Tutone’s 80’s hit of the same name. [4] If you call the number now, it’s probably no coincidence that you’ll reach an automated message for Retro Fitness, an 80’s themed gym chain. [5] Jenny may not pick up the phone, but it’s likely that “867-5309” is a staple on the gym’s playlist!

    While it obviously can’t actually connect you to Santa Claus, you can still call this hotline to chat with a fake Saint Nick any time of the year. Another option would be to prank someone with this number; either give it to a friend as a joke, or give it to anyone you don't want to share contact information with and let them be surprised!

    Seattle radio station MOViN 92.5 created the Loser Line so listeners who had a bad experience with a rude suitor could give them a fake number — and embarrass them in the process. If the caller decides to leave a message that’s rude or harassing, the station will play the message on-air so the loser can learn their lesson. [8]
    • Give this number to a jerk you rejected or someone you think should be held publicly accountable for their nasty behavior.

    If you want to send someone a hilarious recorded message instead of listening to one yourself, use a prank-call website. These websites call the person of your choosing with realistic recordings that can put the receiver in funny or uncomfortable scenarios, from a fake pizza delivery guy calling with their order to a fictional angry caller who is mad the receiver hit their car. [9]
    • PrankDial US
    • PrankHotline
    • Be kind when initiating a prank call. Remember: something that seems funny to you may hurt the person's feelings on the receiving end of the call, so always use your best judgment when pranking a friend.
