Funny Fonejacker Moments

Kayvan Novak impersonates different characters in the show Fonejacker, where he plays the leading role: a fictitious prank caller who calls unsuspecting members of the public. The show includes several animations in a cut-out style reminiscent of Monty Python, with pictures of people moving their mouths. Undercover filming is used throughout the show, depicting the Fonejacker making a call from the street to a company nearby. He’s always seen wearing sunglasses and his red and white balaclava – which was black in the Pilot.

Kayvan Novak doesn’t show his face when playing the Fonejacker; still, he can be seen playing the role of a model advertiser during Mr Doovdé’s calls, for items such as DVD players and for dfs.

Starting with a definition of the word “fonejack” (to seize control of a telephone conversation by farce esp - to divert it from reason and logic), most episodes continue with a scene showing Mr Doovdé using an American payphone to call the Directory Enquires. Still, it was Mike who headlined the fifth episode, not Mr. Doovdé.

The final episode of the first series revealed that two callers had previously been fonejacked by George, implying that the Fonejacker does not inform the victim the call was a prank. Those two victims hadn’t appeared in previous episodes, so not all Fonejacks are broadcast.

Channel 4 runs a show called Comedy Lab centered on the new comic talent; this is where Fonejacker’s pilot first aired, in 2006. Since it became so popular, the show was given a six-part series in October 2006, which would get broadcast on E4 starting April 2007. There was also a Christmas special with the title Fonejacker’s Christmas Message; it was broadcast on December 29, 2006, and it was essentially five-minute short version of the pilot. Following the Christmas special, some words of caution were issued… Fonejacker: Coming April 2007 - Don't Pick Up The Phone.

Starting in March, a thirty second advert started airing on E4 and Channel 4, comprising clips of the show’s pilot. The show didn’t broadcast starting in April, for reasons unknown, It would supposedly start on June 7 2007, but such rumours were proven false. After this, rumours spread that the show would start on June 7 2007, which was also false. Fans started feeling hopeless, however in June new trailers got aired. "New sightings of the Fonejacker" was the new motto, as reported from the television news within the new clips, where the Fonejacker was shown performing various calls. The new advert was branded with the catchphrase Don't Pick Up The Phone and the same E4 URL. This was followed a couple of days after by a newer alternative advert.

A few hours before the time his show premiere was set, the Fonejacker rang into Big Brother’s Little Brother; passing off as Terry Tibbs, he chatted with a girl called Carrie regarding a Wooden ladder. Apparently, no mention had been made concerning Fonejacker, since presenter Dermot O’Leary seemed quite confused. Another part of the show’s “over-the-top” advertising included a “Fonejacker Tonight 10-30” on display throughout the night below E4’s on-screen graphic.

His fan site has many soundboards, im quite particular to the fonejacker soundboard that features Terry Tibbs, this one always makes me laugh.

The first time Fonejacker was broadcast as independent show (July 5, 2007 at 10-30 pm) was also the first time the show used strong profanity.The second series started on 9 September 2008. It is currently unknown if a third series will be commissioned.
