A prank call (also known as a crank call, phony call or hoax call) is a telephone call intended by the caller as a practical joke played on the person answering. It is often a type of nuisance call. Recordings of prank phone calls became a staple of the obscure and amusing cassette tapes traded among musicians, sound engineers, and media traders in the United States from the late 1970s. Among the most famous and earliest recorded prank calls are the Tube Bar prank calls tapes, which centered on Louis "Red" Deutsch.

Jack Bauer appeared in the season 18 episode 24 Minutes of The Simpsons. In the episode, he is accidentally called by Bart in the middle of a shooting, who then plays a crank call on him (as he did to Moe Szyslak in the early seasons of "The Simpsons"). Enraged, he reappears at the end of the episode, having called all agents of his organization and abandoning his prior mission so that Jack could hunt Bart down, and arrest him. A nuclear bomb then goes off in the distance, but everyone sighs with relief after Bauer reassures them that the nuclear bomb went off in Shelbyville.
