Robin Cooper & family v The Telemarketer

Absolute genius!

I just tell them to f*ck off!!

Fried gold. Absolutely brilliant and strangely sweet.

This is one of the funniest things l've heard in my life!

Brilliant! Thank you for making such hilarity available for free!

I worked in a call centre years ago, like Nick, and we put together a call centre magazine featuring a lot of transcripts of real calls like this. Some probably were wind ups, but at least some of them were genuine. We loved it.

Maybe they were all winding you up, Nick.

I used to do this for a living, and I came across real people exactly like this. Funny stuff.

Fantastic! Will be sure to pass it round.

Loved it! We had a spate of calls in the US (mostly timeshares) where they'd pretend to be calling on the recommendation of a friend (they'd use some generic name). Having time on my hands I strung the telemarketer along & then confessed that I was surprised that "John Smith" would have given out my number since we were having a secret gay affair & were very much still in the closet.

5 seconds of silence then he hung up! Never called back since.

I'd forgotten how good this was. Just wonderful.

That's hillarious.

I don't usually care for this sort of thing, but this, sir, was brilliant. And marvelously sustained! I larfed and larfed. Well done!

Thanks Warren T.

Genius. Did he call back?

Sadly, no.

Genius! That's how to deal with cold-calling pests! I love the bit where Mrs Cooper talks about the TV show about eggs, he asks "Were they nice eggs?" & 'she' says "I don't know, they were on the telly!". Brilliant: Sir, you deserve a medal

I accept a medal. Yes.

Hilarious. I almost (but not quite) felt sorry for the poor man.

Just watched it for the second time, still making me laugh out loud. Wonderful!

This is one of my favourites :)
Robert i saw this video of a prankcall earlier and thought i must share it with you!

you'll love this im sure!

Brilliant! I must try that for myself with the wife.

Were they nice poached eggs? What a polite young man, do let us know if he calls back.

This guy must be on some amazing commission. Such patience.

Awesome. Many chuckles were had! Love the conversations in the background between the characters.

marvellous! from start to finish

Thanks!

This was my favourite of the first lot of Timewaster calls. Had me laughing hysterically!

Brilliant.

More of the Cooper family please!
