We are looking for people who are keen on playing practical jokes on their friends, family, or even their annoying neighbor. You can select one of our entertaining prank concepts or come up with your own. Either way, we will capture the entire prank and air it on the radio for everyone's enjoyment.
A Few Concepts
"Your Car is Missing"
Call someone and act like you work for the city’s parking enforcement. Inform them that their car has been towed for being illegally parked, even if they didn’t go anywhere that day. Play with the idea until they start getting confused, and then reveal it's a joke.
Short Sample Script (all scripts can be tailored)
Caller: [Serious tone] Hello, is this [Target's Name]?
Target: Yes, who’s calling?
Caller: Hi, this is Officer [Fake Name] with the City Parking Authority. I’m calling to inform you that your vehicle has been reported missing from a tow zone. We’re trying to confirm if it’s been stolen or towed.
Target: What?! I didn’t park in a tow zone!
Caller: Hmm… well, the vehicle registered under your name—[describe their car vaguely, like “a white sedan”]—was reported missing just 30 minutes ago from [random street location]. Are you sure it's where you left it?
Target: Yes, I’m sure! My car hasn’t moved all day!
Caller: [Slight pause] Oh… wait… [pretending to realize] Sorry about that—turns out it was just a prank! You’re on Spliff99FM's Morning Show! Your car is safe and sound. How’s your heart rate right now?
Target: [Relieved and laughing] Oh my gosh, you got me! I was freaking out!
Caller: Glad you’re laughing now! Thanks for being a good sport!
"Lost Pet Prank"
Pretend to be from an animal shelter, and tell the listener that a rare exotic animal with their contact information attached was found and needs to be claimed. Get playful with the animal description – like a "three-legged iguana with a hat."
Short Sample Script (all scripts can be tailored)
Caller: [Concerned tone] Hi, is this [Target's Name]?
Target: Yes, this is [Target's Name]. Who’s calling?
Caller: This is [Fake Name] from Animal Control. We’ve found a pet wandering around with a tag that has your contact information on it.
Target: Uh… I don’t think I’m missing a pet. What kind of pet?
Caller: It’s a three-legged iguana wearing a tiny hat. Seems very friendly. Are you sure it's not yours?
Target: [Laughing] What? I don’t own an iguana!
Caller: Oh! Must be a mix-up then. Well, I guess our "fancy reptile" search continues. Just kidding—you’re on Spliff99FM's Morning Show! No iguanas here. How’s that for a surprise?
Target: [Laughing hard] Wow, you totally got me!
"Loyal Customer Reward"
Inform them that they’ve been chosen as a "loyal customer" by a company they’ve never heard of. Offer them hilariously strange rewards like free lessons in interpretive dance or a lifetime supply of rubber ducks.
Short Sample Script (all scripts can be tailored)
Caller: [Excited tone] Hi, is this [Target's Name]?
Target: Yes, who’s this?
Caller: Congratulations! You’ve been selected as one of our most loyal customers at [Fake Company]. We’re offering you a special reward!
Target: Wait, what company? I don’t remember signing up.
Caller: No worries! You can choose one of these amazing prizes: a year’s supply of bubble wrap, a trip to the Cardboard Box Museum, or a custom crayon portrait of your pet!
Target: [Laughing] Are you serious?
Caller: Completely serious! Oh, and also—you’re on Spliff99FM's Morning Show! Just having a bit of fun!
Target: [Laughing hard] You totally got me!
"Mystery Package Delivery"
Act as a delivery company saying there’s a massive package on the way to their house, like a crate of live chickens or a giant bouncy castle. Tell them you need special instructions on where to leave it.
Short Sample Script (all scripts can be tailored)
Caller: [Professional tone] Hi, is this [Target's Name]?
Target: Yes, who’s calling?
Caller: This is [Fake Name] from Global Shipping. We have a large delivery on the way for you—a 12-foot inflatable rubber duck. Where would you like us to drop it off?
Target: [Confused] What? I didn’t order that!
Caller: Oh! It’s a surprise gift from a secret admirer. Should we assemble it in your yard or just leave the crates?
Target: [Laughing] Wait, this has to be a joke, right?
Caller: You’re right! It’s just a prank from [Radio Station]'s Morning Show. No giant ducks here—just a good laugh!
Target: [Laughing hard] Oh my gosh, you got me good!
