Junkyard Willie - Customer Service Crackpots

Howard Stern has aired 5 calls off this 4th CD (formerly known as "Touch-Tone Terrorists"). By popular demand this CD features 20 of the ever-popular HI-JACKED customer service calls! These unsuspecting callers THINK they have dialed up various businesses, but instead they have unwittingly reached some very bad intentioned imposters. Actual customers get fed up then scream, yell and raise hell when treated to sarcasm, insults, and outright corruption! It's been said "You can't find good help these days" ...but it was never ever THIS bad!!! The cast of lunatic "customer care reps" include JUNKYARD WILLIE, JIM BOB the inbred hillbilly, BLADE the vomiting rocker, STU JAIMISON the arrogant big shot, and VLADIMIR the Russian with the attitude. Treat customers like this at your work and you'll be out of a job! Six of these 21 tracks include the angry auto insurance claim calls. How would you like it if you called up your insurance company over an accident (that was the OTHER driver's fault) and the claims adjuster falsely accused you of drinking and driving and in short order threw out your claim? You too would be just as angry as the callers on this CD! Album Description

Its Gold!

I listen to this and all the other Touch-Tone Terrorists discs as much as I listen to music. It seems to never get old for me. I love hearing stupid people getting a dose of medicine that which they have never tasted before! November 17, 2007

More of the same!

This is where I went wrong: I bought two different CD's from the Touch Tone Terrorists almost back to back. The first I received "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" cracked me up throughout. I enjoyed it and people with me did as well! The second CD "Customer Service Crackpots" is also funny (do not get me wrong) but is just the same as the first. Same voices and basically the same approach so really buying one is enough. That said, I rated it 3 stars if only because I did not find anything better than the first. Same voices and a great gift for aggravating callers. Let's just say that for now enough is enough. These are talented individuals but one or the other CD will do the job, not both! July 27, 2007

Very funny

However, I was a little suprised at just how rude they got. Like when Jim Bob called this lady a stupid filthy bi... within the first 30 seconds of the call.

I've listened to the entire CD about 5 times and I've only owned a little over a week. November 23, 2006

So Amazingly Hilarious

I cannot believe how funny this cd is. It is the last one and each cd gets funnier and funnier. Even though its just one guy doing the voices you still hear it through the customers point of view, getting transfered to some one new who is even more rude than the first guy. How funny was Jim Bobs laugh on "Save the drama" Stu Jamison is beyond funny not beleiving the woman when she told him she wasn't drunk. The telephone company was a complete riot. My favorite was "Respect for your customers" especially when Willie takes time to explain that because he's from the ghetto, thats why he's so rude, as if that justifies his attitude. I am not just saying that this is funny because I enjoyed it. This cd is worth the money and so incredibly hilarioius. It's great to listen to when you have company over. Just the fact that these calls have real people trying to call real companies
rather than pranking a real company makes it that much more funnier. April 21, 2006

The BEST prank calls around

Especially if you work in a support position, this is "THE" CD for you. And yes, I agree with the Englishman who notes you really should purchase the entire collection. I have searched high and low, (especially low), and the Touchtone Terrorists are, without a doubt, the funniest gang in the crankcall business. They outdo Roy Mercer, the Arnold clones, Jerky Boyz, and all the other nitwits. With one possible exception, a bisexual New York kid, some guy I forget the name of, who has his own web site. His skit with the gay elderly Jew is really the best ever, a classic work of art in a weird way. He is affiliated with freakfarm dot com, other than that I don't know his handle.

But getting back to the TT, I will say that when they "make" a call, they suck. The fast-talking guy gets no laughs. But when they "receive" a call, they excel. I figured out how this gang operated and here's the scoop. They posted fliers on people's doors saying "We tried to deliver your package but you weren't home. Please call customer service at xxx-xxx-xxxx". So, maybe 1% of all people were expecting a package and call the number and then the fun begins. They have a great system because the callers are highly motivated to continue the conversation. Prank calls where you call someone are more difficult, because the answerer typically is more willing to disconnect.

Anywayz, this is truly great stuff from professionals. Don't try this at home, though because with Caller ID so prevalent these days, you just might get your head knocked about by somebody without a sense of humor. The best way to experience prank call Heaven is listening to a professional in action.
