Added 2024-06-18 21:35:30 +0000 UTCThe gang talks about Longmont Potion Castle, an anonymous surrealist prank phone caller that has been at it since the 1980s and has quietly shaped the comedy styles of your favorite funny people for years and years.
Note: Alex made a playlist for watching. Enjoy

Also thank you for this episode y’all. I love Not Even A Show and had never heard of Longmont. Now on a quest to listen to as much of his work as possible

2024-10-19 15:51:01 +0000 UTCIf you go to the account that posted the video you’ll find a ton of Longmont videos. Not as convenient as a playlist - but it’s something

2024-10-19 15:47:02 +0000 UTCI am so glad Not Even A Show came up because I immediately thought of Chris after hearing the first Longmont clip

2024-09-30 20:06:48 +0000 UTCa cousin of this would have to be the 'ventrilo harrassment' clips on youtube. the anonymous creator 'videocompiler' would also use audio equipment to take samples of the prank victims in order to play back to the ventrilo, do looping and pitch-shifting, and even made songs out of them to play back a short time later.

2024-06-19 21:57:13 +0000 UTCThese seem to have directly inspired the prank calls that videogamedunkey did on YouTube. Those are exactly this style of call, committing to nonsense bits, using Skype to connect two restaurants together, etc. Very cool to find this connection

2024-06-19 19:16:25 +0000 UTCThe kabukers were wondering if longmont was the earliest example of prank calling — definitely not. Wolfman Jack was already doing them on his radio show back in the 60s. However, Longmont is still the michael jordan of the game.
