In lessons we learned from the Internet today: When you have an unknown caller who sounds suspiciously like Dr. Phil repeating inane, accusatory statements to you over the phone, hang up, lest you end up the butt of a particularly well-executed joke. Two kids, armed with a cell phone, the Dr. Phil soundboard and your typical teenage boredom, make a prank call to a completely unsuspecting woman, who falls hook, line and sinker for it before cracking under the pressure of all the ridiculous statements. If it weren't such a blindingly obvious practical joke, we'd almost feel bad. ENJOY!

I can't believe I wasted 5 minutes of my life listening to this—and now commenting on it. I would have hung up after 30 seconds, at most. Is this the fake it seems? I expect better from Lemondrop.

I'm sorry but this kind kind of stuff pisses me off. I work at a suicide hotline where prank calls are a fairly regular occurrence, and it's incredibly obnoxious. We have to take it seriously even if we can tell it's a prank.

Granted, its childish (um I don't know if you saw the kid in the video but yeah).
Frankly, I think the fact that the woman took it seriously is more disturbing, not to mention she stayed on the line (and apparently this was the second phone call? what? wth would you even consider answering?).
I mean its kind of hard to not note:
1. repetitive phrases that sound exactly the same
2. that the comments are obviously clips
Yeah, I know technology isn't for everyone but who stays on the phone while they are being harassed?
It was funny, not because it obviously cause her anguish (ok that was funny because it shouldn't have) but because it is so painfully obvious that she is trying reason out the conversation, like it should mean something to her. Then, when the "conversation" is at a point where it is obviously not cohesive, she just gets mad and starts trying to tell Dr.Phil off and threaten him.
Btw I hope she had a lot of luck tracing that phone call.

I know it's wrong to laugh at, but this appealed to the 13 yearold inside me like nothing has in a long time.
I feel bad for the woman, but really after the first 30 seconds how you not realize this is a prank call? I mean clearly it's fake and trying to reason with the caller? I think it's hilarious she takes it so seriously, she needs to get a grip and if it's someone she doesn't know she can just hang up or not answer, assuming it's on a cell.
