The show Fonejacker revolves around the telephonic exploitations of unsuspecting members of the public, through calls authored by Kayvan Novak, who plays the protagonist masked prank caller. When the final episode of the first series revealed George had previously fonejacked two callers, it was implied the Fonejacker doesn’t inform his victims about the prank calls.
Funny animations of people with their mouths moving are used throughout the show, in a style not unlike the classic Monty Python. Using undercover filming for stylistic effect, certain scenes depict the Fonejacker calling a company from a street nearby. He’s always seen wearing sunglasses and his red and white balaclava – which was black in the Pilot.
Following a definition of the term “fonejack” (to seize control of a telephone conversation by farce esp – to divert it from reason and logic), each episode usually starts with the Fonejacker calling Directory Enquires from an American payphone, posing as Mr Doovdé. This a great show for anyone who wants to laugh his brains out – just watch these samples!
