"You Kicked My Dog".
"You Kicked My Dog" (a.k.a. "Kick-Dog") is a prank call released in 1995 by an unknown prank caller. Credit of this prank call has not been officially acknowledged by anyone, but "You Kicked My Dog" is sometimes incorrectly attributed to The Jerky Boys. The location of the call is unknown but the girl Kerpal is accusing has a North American accent. The man in the prank call identifies himself as Kerpal and seems to be of Pakistani descent (highlighted by the last dialouge spoken by him in the call). A man known as Abtar answers the telephone. Kerpal then alleges that Abtar's older daughter kicked his dog. After minutes of confusion it is revealed that the daughter knows nothing about kicking Kerpal's dog, let alone who Kerpal is. The call eventually degrades into a shouting match with Kerpal shouting obscenities to no-end.
At least three different Flash animations have been created to visualize this call. The simplest one, thought to be the original and generally most liked, was created by Adam Letalik and published by FlatPlanet.org in late 1999. It is linked below.
Soundboards featuring clips from "You Kicked My Dog" can be found on the internet. Various other pranks have been successfully conducted using such soundboards; many have been released as alternate versions of the original. This phone call is still played to this day by several radio stations nationwide, most notably KQRS in Minneapolis, USA, among others.
Many second versions of "You Kicked My Dog" exist on the internet. The version which people consider the real "part 2" is one that features a conversation between two apparently Indian men (one of whom states he is "Purpa"). "Purpa" requests to be picked up from an airport, but the call devolves into another conflict using harsh language.
