Customer Reviews

Bello?!
All the voices and prank calls are done by the same man, and you can't help wondering if he was making funny phone calls long before he got on TV. The audio calls are always funny and the only stumbling block must have been how to make a TV show out of it. This problem is overcome by some imaginative, random and, it has to be said, high quality animation.

Prank phone calls is an old joke, but the Fonejacker's prank calls are just so original and creative. I mean, the humour is so offbeat and unique that it is like nothing else out there. And it brilliantly taps into the things that make people hysterical (identity theft - "if you could just give me your bank account number and sort code, we can transfer the monies") and annoyed (overseas telesales - "our provider has faster providings than your current provider provides") these days. And it at the same time, it is just so side-splittingly funny and plain weird ("wooden ladders - talk to me!", "canvas stretcher!!!!" and my personal favourite ... "Bello?! Bello. Bo you Bell Bour-bon?").

If you haven't watched Fonejacker but have heard people talking about it, you need this DVD. Do yourself a favour and have a few drinks before you watch it for the first time.

Excellent
This had me in stiches and is still very funny every time I watch it. These very original prank calls are funny for anybody, no matter what sense of humor you have. Containing every sear word in the book, this original idea is a great sucsess. A must have for all!
