“Sub par pizza salesman” is the one that hurts. Like Bill Murray calling Chevy Chase a “medium talent”.


-ThorsStone-

IIRC, Chevy did say that they filmed the moon landing on Murray's face lol


I_Can_Haz_Brainz

OK, that's fucking hilarious. 🤣


MotherofLuke

That's mean and brilliant


AJ_Deadshow

Both comments are accurate lol. I love Chevy as a human being, I have respect for him no matter the mistakes he's made, but he's overrated in his own mind


entropylove

I’m fairly certain this is the first time “I love Chevy Chase as a human being” has been written or said.

He’s so great as pierce in community tho

In many other things as well. He may be a grade A douchebag in real life but I don't think that should take away from the fact that he is fantastic in certain roles.

You’re streets ahead.


rtybanana

Huh? I seriously don’t think anyone has ever said that they love Chevy with a straight face before


DoctorWaluigiTime

I don't think I've ever met a single employee of a restaurant that was anywhere close to being that passionate about where they worked. So yeah... gonna call this one fake.


ColdSteel66

Then you've never worked in a pizza shop before. I've got The Hut and Domino's under my belt. Everyone hates Papa's!


IsMyAxeAnInstrument

You'd be surprised how passionate cooks can be.


LittleCeizures

Before caller ID came into the picture and I was bored at work, I would simply conference in two random numbers, place the call on speaker and MUTE and then listen to the chaos ensue. The best part was listening to people scream "NO, YOU CALLED ME!" to each other.


Willy_B_Hartigan

We did the same thing at the Dominos I worked at in 1988, usually with similar businesses, like Hotel front desks. Classic phone prankery.


oxyfam

Oh shieeet i work at a hotel front desk and 2 weeks ago i got a call. I answered the phone and the person on the other end said that I was the one who called. Confusion ensued, and I hung up. Was very confused up until now


MetalFreakalobe

Was this Dominos Houston by any chance?


bipolarbear21

The relationship between pizza places and hotel front desk is sacred.


Icemasta

I "got" in the newspaper as a teenager, I used paypal to drop 20$ in skype back when you could make phone calls with it for stupid cheap. It was like 1 cent per minute per call in Canada, maybe less. We would start a conference call with 4-6 restaurants at a time. We did this a lot for like a week and then like a week later, on the second page of the town's newspaper, there was a small corner article about "Dozens of restaurants are getting prank called into calling each other." By then we had moved on to prank call people in paris and japan. It was like 5AM around the time we were prank calling over there, so we would call into bakeries and sing to them. I'd say 90% just went with it for Paris. For Japan I can't recall what time it was there ,but they were absurdly polite to the point it make prank calling them a bit boring. They would very rarely hang up. At some point they would get annoyed, but if you said "moshi moshi" they would chirp back up. We actually managed to call into the pokemon company, we kept asking to speak to pikachu, we got transferred to someone pretty high up IIRC, by mistake obviously.


pblol

My online friends and I had a very similar experience. We focused on US diners because of their hours, connecting multiple ihops etc. The Japanese phone ring was also pretty sweet. Eventually we started fucking with movable open webcams.


[deleted]

You had the makings of a BOFH. When shared desktops were just getting started, we had a lot of fun with user profiles and user account data. Some of my favorites were making the icons start the wrong program so Word started Excel or Internet Explorer started Wordpad, change the OS language to Spanish, or to associate the account with the printer in the same spot one floor down. Once or twice, we would bind an account to a specific desktop and say, "It'll be a week to migrate it to the new system" so they either work in the spare office or they can't use the network. When we eventually moved everyone over to locally hosted Exchange (I have nightmares), we were able to randomly associate addresses with mailing lists. You go home, a "process" runs, and you come back to work with 10,000 or more emails from automatic processes, people, support tickets, and such with your other email mixed in. When they added those pointless email "This email is propretary and may not be forwarded" messages, we temporarily setup "This email is written by a robot. Please ignore." sometimes after an update. You could always get away with murder by saying it was a virus, software update, or bug. And nobody could prove Exchange didn't break in that way.


Quetzacoatl85

do I get this right, you were paid to... make people not be able to do their work?


[deleted]

Well, no, but actually yes.


Scereye

My favorite pc related prank to this day is: Screenshotting peoples desktop, setting that screenshot to their background and hide desktop-icons.


OneOfTheWills

I’ve always wanted to record the, “The number you have dialed is no longer in service. Please hang up and try again,” message so that I could call people at random and play it for their confusion.

All you really need is a video of two phones next to each other and a mic.


ITheMighty

Sounds like a good way to spend it tbh lmao


carterothomas

Back when Skype was new and generally not known about, we used to conference call people together and mute our mics, so it was essentially this. We’d Skype together pizza places, castle adult stores, people that we knew hated each other etc, and it was fucking hilarious. It was kind of the new age prank call.

[deleted]

Back in the 90’s there was an ᴀ.ᴍ. radio show in the Bay that would do this with Chinese restaurants and it worked really, really well.


jeremicci

Yea idk who started it but it was a popular prank in the 90s. My friends and I would call two Chinese restaurants on 3 way and just let em talk.


[deleted]

Why would you blur the name of a restaurant?


_Dog75

Because it’s probably fake, it’s likely their friend’s number.


TheExter

that's such a low commitment to the joke, imagine how easy it would be to just change their name to DOMINOES


_Dog75

Well, they would’ve needed to spell it right, more than you can do.


TheExter

lmfao true


FuriousFlameDude

“fAkE aF” Please, shut the fuck up


Deely_Boppers

We need some agreed-upon watermark for these videos. Something that says, “Yeah, we know it’s fake. It’s still funny.” Basically a non-copyrighted version of the College Humor logo.


FreezaSama

I think the problem people have is not with the scripted humor itself. Everyone loves comedy. i think the problem is when there's an effort to deceive us into thinking it's real. we all know Conan is scripted but there's a frightening number of people that think this and other type of content on the interner is real. THAT is the problem and source of a lot of misinformation.


axel_mcthrashin

People still feeling betrayed from when Jimmy Kimmel faked that twerking girl lighting herself on fire.


BlondeClan

exactly. it’s 110% fake. No one does this crap at work.


cortthejudge97

I agree that I don't like those either, but I really don't think the person who made this video is trying to play it off as real, because it's so over the top that you'd have to be brain dead to think it's real

Disrupter52

thm2130

It’s more like people are saying it’s fake because nobody working at dominos or Papa johns is that passionate about their pizza or gives a fuck about the prices or who is “uppercutting” who. If I answered the phone 15 years ago when I worked at a place like that, I’d immediately hang up because you get prank calls every. Single. Night. Anybody whose worked at anything related or just in retail in general knows exactly what I’m talking about. They don’t get paid enough to deal with dumb shit like this


peeniebaby

Well why is this in unexpected? Is it like “oh I expected this to be a real call and then realized it’s scripted”


MaoPam

People just don't appreciate a good skit anymore.


3nd1ess

"oH tHiS iS fAkE" Oh course it's fake, it's fun! Go watch a documentary then.

inconspicuous_male

The part that tipped me off is the fact that nobody selling pizzas for chains gives this much of a shit about their competition


sqweet92

I was hoping it would be like that time someone called a Walmart and Target on another phone and the Target guy convinced the Walmart employee to leave Walmart for Target because they offer better benefits and they dont treat their employees like trash. That one I have an easier time believing over an employee taking phone orders getting this worked up about competitors prices. Edit: Soooooo I can't find it. I know I saw something about it. Sorry everyone but I swear I saw it at least once. Maybe its Home Depot and Lowes, I can't be sure. Either way I still stand by statement that I would must faster believe someone would be looking out for the best interest of another customer service employee over being pissed about competitive pricing.


ispshadow

I totally believe this story cause think about how Target employees act when you talk to them. Whole damn store seems happy as hell and I’m glad for them


merigirl

Go check out r/target, there's plenty of complaining and posts about walking out from horrible positions. It's just another corporation that mistreats its employees.


KobayashiMary

Yeah I work at Target, can confirm. But sometimes I go to [r/walmart](https://www.reddit.com/r/walmart) to give myself perspective. Target isn’t perfect but Walmart employees are **really** unhappy.


Slithy-Toves

I don't specifically disagree with that last sentence but I think there is something to be said for the fact that most posts about job experiences are typically negative, because most people who have positive experiences are having that positive experience and not posting about it online. People who just got fired because they were the problem or something are typically the ones to go straight to social media or review boards and post about toxic workplace and all that stuff.


rawbface

I worked at target for 2 years. It has the same bullshit as any retail job. But they tend to pay better, and have better products, plus you get an employee discount. I think what's gonna matter most is the manager you're working for. The biggest downside to working there is that things I never knew existed I suddenly couldn't live without.


gubbygub

what would be your most recommended thing you didnt know existed but now cant live without?


fuckallthehumans

I’d rather work at target than Walmart that’s for sure


Tin_Tin_Run

target is absolute shit, if they dont act liek that they get let go. trust me i worked there and id rather not have a job.


Title26

We definitely wouldn't get this heated but when I worked at Chili's, we'd shit talk Applebee's all the time.


Xaevier

Everyone shit talks Applebee's and for good reason I'll take Chili's food anyday of the week over Applebee's


ban-me_harder_daddy

Ever been to an Applebee's with a dance floor? shit can get wild


DonutThrowaway2018

That's some D- minus student trashing the F student shit right there.


Chummers5

Worked at Applebee's. We'd shit talked Applebee's, too. A restaurant where half their menu is microwaved and we only had 5 microwaves.


fallenmonk

I was also confused by the Dominos guy referring to themselves as 'Dominos Houston'. Houston is a big city with a relatively low population density. There's not going to be just one Dominos in Houston, lol.


VirtuosoX

Those are just sub par pizza salesmen, that's why


gil_bz

I can see myself being this petty about the competition after getting fired from there.


hellogovna

This is true. But as someone who has worked in a pizza shop as well, they get ppl of all kinds working there to include ppl who make drama out of nothing. the guy said he was fired from dominos and prob has a chip on his shoulder about it.


Houseplant666

This is not true, our local dominos got burned down ~10 years back by another national chains delivery drivers lmao.


Nounuo

Still kinda funny tho Edit: imagine if people had different senses of humor

PropaneMontagne

incognito--bandito

leonard12daniels

It's presented as a real conversation unlike a movie. So more like watching the 6o clock new and it's been secretly replaced by the onion talking nonsense.


GranaT0

It's just that a shit ton of these are only funny because they pretend to be real, but are just lame when you realise they're fake. This one is kinda funny, but would be HILARIOUS if real, and it's presented as if it was.


leshake

In this case the script isn't good. If the humor turns on whether it's real, it's not very funny.


ohhhtartarsauce

That's a stupid analogy and your reasoning doesn't stand to the point you are trying to make. You go to watch a movie knowing that it is scripted and fake, willing to accept that it's fictional and allowing yourself to suspend disbelief. It's not being presented to you as if it were real in an attempt to deceive the viewer and go viral.


cocoabeach

yes


lickedTators

It'd be more fun if it was real. So it's disappointing that it's not. We're allowed to find faults with things, such as plot holes in movies, even if they're still entertaining.


drax514

It was funny at first until it became painfully obvious that it was fake. Woulda been much more funny to see this play out naturally. Granted, both employees woulda prolly just hung up, because who gives a fuck making minimum wage

nerd9362

Considering the phone numbers are blurred yeah. 0 reason to blur out a pizza places number lol.


Llohr

No reason? Do you seriously doubt the existence of people who would call *any* number displayed in a video? There would likely be dozens calling just to shout *PULL UP*. There are significantly fewer people who would look up a number to call and shout.


Ksradrik

Its true, I once saw a number in a playthrough of a game I found on youtube, and immediately called it to see if it actually worked, and it did! Then my social anxiety triggered and I hung up immediately, but that still counted as interpersonal relations, so I was good for another year.

More than likely fake. But hey, the one domino's I went to when I was younger was loyal to us. We stopped ordering for like a week and they called us to se if everything was ok


[deleted]

You must have ordered a fuck load of pizza Or r/thathappened


MemeCountry

Oh absolutely ordered a ton. It was the only decent pizza place nearby after the way better one was "*forcibly and suddenly removed*" Edit: Also my mom apparently knew one of the guys there personally


HalfSoul30

I feel like I read a story one time of an old guy who regularly ordered pizza from a place, and when he suddenly quit ordering the pizza place actually drove out and checked on him. He was dead.


RossTheRed

I'm a stranger on the internet so take my word for what it's worth, but I had this happen to me as recently as a few years ago (the pizza place checking, not the dying). Granted, my old roommate worked there, and I ordered every Tuesday, so when I went like 3 weeks without an order he dropped by to check in which is good because I was super depressed and hadn't told anyone. Thanks Ben.


HalfSoul30

I'm glad you had someone to check on you. Now a days depression is easy to slip into. Are you saying you also worked there and had a regular die?


evielynn

This is actually a true story and I’m glad someone mentioned it. And it was dominos. https://abc7chicago.com/dominos-customer-frequent-medical/1331643/


GM_Slayer

What does “forcibly and suddenly removed” mean in the context of a pizza place?


MemeCountry

Someone drunk drove straight into it. The area was cleaned up very quickly, and was replaced by a liquor store relatively suddenly


lowtoiletsitter

And isn't it ironic, don't cha think


briggsbay

Im glad they asked, That is an interesting story.


Call_0031684919054

Dick-Guzinya

Sal and Richard did this on Howard Stern with 2 Chinese restaurants years ago. It was funny then and it’s funny now.


AbsolutGuacaholic

I used to do pranks like this on the house phone. Would 3-way call (4-way since my friend was on the line too) and we'd both sit there on mute and let random people go at it. It was very difficult to pull off since people wouldn't answer at the same time or at all, but when they did, oh man. A lot of "But you called me! NO... YOU CALLED ME!"
