C-SPAN WJ Prank Compilation: A new batch of callers gone wild! (2003-2022)

[@bourbonisto1721]

Holy shit my call got featured, I’m the guy with the friend who’s a skier

[@xavierbrezniak7597]

Nice work! Most Howard Sterns per second I’ve seen!

[@royaltyblessed2454]

Maxine that you? 🤣

[@CM-sy6ud]

Nice one 😂

[@artboston4787]

Nice! You did a good job of setting him up with your China concerns and right when he let's his guard down, Howard Stern, Babba Booey, Babba Booey, Howard Stern, Howard Stern, Howard Stern, *click*

[@ciswhitebigot]

Lmfao

[@danabruce4460]

I love how the callers start out with a serious line of discussion, gain trust and then quickly insert bullshit.

[@CoNtAiNeR93]

😂that's pro prank callers😂

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

Those are the ones who get it right. The guy talking about face masks and saying that he worked as a male stripper would have probably been able to continue the call but he started laughing, and the host figured out he was a prank call.

[@AugoZone]

4:43 “Sir we’re talking about Sudan, what do you have to say about that?” “Sudan? I say burn his ass” LMFAOOO

[@guyb6665]

I hope and pray this was a planned prank call but our caller legitimately misheard Sudan as Saddam

[@bradleysmith9431]

Or he thought the guy said "sue Dan"

[@893R6-w8t]

He said "suh-dam" which is a fairly common pronunciation besides "suh-dom".

[@etphonehome611]

I love seeing 20 years of political history through these pranks

[@pabloitsa]

righttttt

[@DonTrump-sv1si]

These callers have really shaped our country these last 20+ years. They are the building blocks of this great nation.

[@DCBatman76]

Kind of cool.😎

​​​​@@DonTrump-sv1si That's just a taste of the American SPIRIT🇺🇲❤❤

[@georgelynch5498]

How everyone in this video manages to listen to this without laughing is beyond me.

[@CartoonSlug]

They are all political shills and have no personalities or souls

[@standardofexcellence]

They don't have any souls and are stereotypical douchebags which is why they are getting pranked

[@kenticser]

TV people are not real people. They're dumb androids.

[@StreetSweep]

Only Nixon voters wouldn't laugh at this!

[@mrrogers88]

They're not human

[@stevefromaccounting900]

Hahaha, opened with "if my balls itch, should I scratch em?" Golden stuff.

[@befdoglover1]

I believe that was Richard Christy from the Howard Stern show.

[@ZeranZeran]

Golden sniff

[@tay2229]

Pedro never comments on the prank calls, but his reactions are still the funniest because you can tell from his body language that they piss him off.

[@brianbutz2746]

Yeah and he's so dumb to actually believe the prank calls coming in on the Republican line are actually called from legit Republicans, biased as sh*t

[@MadScientist267]

🤣

[@bunnystrasse]

HI PEDRO

[@omerd5147]

Lool sooo true 😂🤣

[@shanes.1724]

He did at 10:50

[@TheLastBreadCrumbs]

1:55. I love how he is slowly reaching for the hang up button, preparing for him to say something bad.

[@durkdiggler4346]

LMFAO

[@t13596]

6:32 is a lot funnier.

[@h.d.5194]

Nah 10:29 is because as soon as he heard the unusual tone he knew it was one of the usual prank callers.

[@t13596]

@@h.d.5194 That one just came in. It wasn't really like he talked normally to give a chance to reach for the hangup button he just went right away.

[@rick459xp2]

I love how they’re shuffling papers trying to look sophisticated and busy lmao

[@FerdinandMadsen]

Seriously I can’t tell if they’re doing that cus actual purpose for the show or just purely visual xD

[@Sliy0p]

I think they just circle stuff on the paper so that they can talk about something if a caller says a form of profanity to change the subject

[@pelago_]

8:18 this guy was a kamikaze - no small talk, just straight into it 😂😂😂

[@WitheringZealot]

lmao

[@justbainz7]

😂😂

[@ChickenOfMajesty]

3:10 “We don’t care what your opinion is, we just care that you call on the right line” 😂 He said the quiet part out loud

[@ixICocoIxi]

That’s not “the quiet part” - the whole point is that anyone with any opinion has the opportunity to voice it

[@Jack-yv2xu]

Well in a debate you have to have the three sides, democrats, republicans, and independents. You can’t have a debate if democrats are calling on all 3 lines.

[@ZeranZeran]

I can't believe he actually said that My god. They deserve every prank call

[@operationfalconpunch]

No one cares what anyone ever says unfortunately

[@nothing45830]

I can't imagine keeping a straight face like these hosts do

[@spankynater4242]

They take the show far more seriously than the prank callers do.

1:56: Sometimes the best part of these calls is when the host's hand slowly starts to reach for the cut-off switch....

[@davem6685]

Yep.

[@domodomo4032]

Soon as he said dick🤣🤣🤣

[@CarlosReyes-qe2iq]

The strangest thing about it, is the caller is in at least his 40s. They can almost sense that a call is going to be a prank.

[@2BachShakur]

I like to imagine these are all from one guy sitting in a room surrounded by phones with different numbers.

[@Manzini79]

One of the callers has called in numerous times and his voice is distinctive. I don't know how the hosts don't remember his voice and hang up

[@kiwi7090]

Most of the guys saying the F word are the same dude

[@shanecastleberry4176]

OHYES! A fresh new batch of CSPAN crank calls. I’ve needed this so much.

[@samwaldie4030]

“Well, um, basically if my balls itch, should I scratch ‘em?” 😂😂

[@Huntington12345678]

I just adore when the host gets upset, and the guest laughs. Makes me feel good. Don't know why.

[@893R6-w8t]

4:16 that has to be the funniest one on here. Not only does he get away with it twice, the conviction when he says the last part is so strong.

[@MichaelJ44]

8:39 a rare chuckle from a CSPAN host

[@somnuswaltz5586]

Nothing gets past you

[@Chicky_Lumps]

Probably because an innocent prank call was a welcome change of pace.

LOL it's 2022 and the Howard Stern prank calls still wont die

[@microsoft.co.u]

“if you hear a faint drilling sound in the background that’s the founding fathers spinning in their graves” made me laugh quite a bit

[@PackieBigHappy42069]

Sounds like a few of them were legit callers who were unfairly cut off just because they cursed.

[@j04370859]

It's not unfairly, they know that they can't curse on these calls lol

[@Mike-kd7zq]

Ya I actually agree some of them seemed legit, maybe they swore by accident?

[@calvin7978]

Wow, I thought I've seen most of the cspan pranks but I hadn't seen 95% of these, keep it up man

[@DukeLovesYou]

Really surprised I hadn't seen any of these before, nicely done. I hope you make more compilations!

Thanks for this. I’ve legit been looking for the nuke clip at 0:50 for like 15 years, it was a Buddygz video titled nuke back in like ‘07

"From time to time, people get through...". Yes, yes, they have been able to for decades.

More than three or so decades lol

[@Scythe_Voltage]

4:17 there was no reason to keep him on air that long 😂

[@davidellis5141]

I can't believe at some point , C-SPAN didn't invest in a delay system.

[@fs10inator]

same; they've been at it for so long, I couldn't fathom either.

[@mitchealthornhill2113]

They know what they're doing lol

[@CesarClouds]

Because they like the calls.

[@DripSerpent]

They can't though, it's a fully publicly funded channel and thus a delay would constitute an actual 1st amendment violation, and it must be live as a result. I say actual 1st amendment dment violation, because for awhile people have been using it totally wrong.

[@robertjensen1048]

Because, if they didn't take the prank calls, their call volume would go down by 80% and they'd have to work longer hours filling up time.

[@zaksaturday1693]

I like the Male Stripper at 13:00, that's how you should do it - something subtle, tasteful, devilish enough where you know you're not gonna get cut off because it's only risque but you can still act genuine

[@lordmegatron8444]

.".Im afraid of toys and robots" this was the line that got me.🤣

[@supachaloopa3611]

These were pretty good. There is an old clip, and for whatever reason no one plays it anymore, but it's the most hilarious prank call- the guy starts off by saying how he fears that the war will lead to nuclear bombing then says " Hell, I'm 16 with a solid 13", so I'm ready! ". I literally fell out of my chair because it was so random and the calls before it were serious ones. Those are the best kind.
