The True Story behind the Tube Bar Prank Calls

Being a professional prankster takes a lot of work. Some people will spend a lifetime, trying to master this art. People like the Bum Bar Bastards, known for their exquisite work with the Tube Bar prank calls.

The BBB are Jim Davidson and John Elmo, a couple of guys that since the 70’s tare calling the same rotten Tube Bar in Jersey, harassing Louis “Red” Deutsch, asking to call for Joe, “Al Killeu” or Joe Mama or Hugh Jass, Ben Dover and even Moe Lester…

Red would call out the names, some say he was unaware, some say he played along. Anyway, he did it with great charm, shouting at the prankster with profanity and obscene sexual references involving the caller’s mother and a certain “yellow rat bastard.” Here’s a sample, but watch out! It includes Red’s explicit language:



Elmo and Davidson, the two BBBs recorded every call and the tapes became an underground sensation. The tapes are known as the Tube Bar Tapes or the Red Taps and later on were the inspiration for The Simpson’s bartender - Moe Szyslak. If you’re looking for inspiration, the Bastards released the recordings on various CDs and MP3 that are available on their official website and on iTunes.



When you are ready to call the Tube Bar, just log on to Caller ID Faker, put in your number, your fake number and the number you'd wish to prank and hit the button! By the way, is Al Kaseltzer there?

Prank Call Ideas - Part I

We’re not just a Caller ID Faker service. We’re also professional pranksters after all and we’re here to give you some classic prank call ideas. We like to look at the prank business as art and in art - there’s nothing you can’t really do.

This is the classic “did I get any messages” prank. Gather a few of your buddies and call somebody asking if George is available. Repeat this call a few more times, ask when will George be back and if you can leave him a message etc… Then pull out the punchline and call again, say your name is George and ask: “did I get any messages?” and lol.

Making people say stupid things is always fun. Pick a service number, something like 917 or 646 and say that you are T-Mobile or Verizon or whatnot and that you have to make a few voice tests in order to optimize the service. Then make him do noises and say silly stuff like “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”

What? You think you're better than us? So go ahead visit http://calleridfaker.com and post your pranks on our wall.

Pranks are fun all year long but there are two times a year that just can not go by without a good prank. One of them is April Fools. The other is Halloween and it’s just around the corner.

Your house got egged? Your tree toilet papered? No worries. The tradition of Halloween pranking goes back a long time and Halloween roots started with Great Britain’s Celts. They used to burn people. We’ll settle for prank calls.

Indeed, Halloween prank calls are classy. You don’t need to get dirty, no pumpkins are involved and it can be scary as hell.
