"How to prank a Telemarketer" is a YTMND similar to the crazy telemarketer site. The audio is a phone call played on the Bob and Tom radio show accompanied by text narration. The call was a prank recorded by comedian Tom Mabe when a telemarketer called his home. When the telemarketer asked to speak to Mabe, Mabe impersonated a police officer conducting a homicide investigation. Mabe badly scares the telemarketer by making him a suspect in the investigation and asking for his personal whereabouts on the night of the alleged murder.
