Since 2006, the Fonejacker has been making people laugh through its groundbreaking approach to prank calls, and society's obsession with call centers. Though a full series of its own did not appear in Britain until a year after its debut, the worldwide phenomenon continues to grow.
Created by, and starring Kayvan Novak, the program simply parodies phone calls made in modern day life; but with hilarious consequences from the witty and cleverly executed scripts which are used. That the prank calls are place to members of the public just going about their daily lives and in the workplace adds to its appeal.
In his raw form; Novak plays the Fonejacker himself. Looking something like a terrorist without a budget; adorned with knitted red and white bobble hat which is worn like a balaclava, sunglasses and a high collared rain jacket.
He is pictured using phones in a whole host of places, but it is in the characters he plays and the guises he uses to portray them on screen that the real magic happens.
Possibly the most popular character, (or perhaps infamous would be a better description), is George Agdgdgwngo. Clearly inspired by the legions of con artists that seem to be based many African countries, George isn't quite the full ticket for such a scam.
Trying to scam people out of their bank details, claiming he will wire their eighty pounds of winnings immediately, doesn't quite cut it. Nor does his tales of a bird stuck in the bank vault do much to convince people to part with their account numbers. It is simply riotous as he fails, but remains so polite and apologetic.
In another witty parody of society today, the Indian call center worker is brilliant. Calling from a company known as "Internet Service Providings", the young caller really hasn't got much of a chance of getting new customers for his company.
Whilst the offers he gives are said to be market leading; explaining the deal for a better ISP, mobile phone, or even dating site membership do not quite hold water. The prices are extreme and the benefits all but nonexistent. Irate callers get put through to the manager, where the Fonejacker hilarity just gets more increased.
There are more than 20 characters played in the Fonejacker; all as good as the next. When you watch, look out for the mouse which takes the whole concept to another level. Superb!
