he Fonejacker is a show from Channel 4 which was first shown on Channel 4 Comedy lab it was that popular Channel 4 commissioned the show. This show features Kayvan Novak doing prank calls to unsuspected people which is extremely funny.

There's George Agdgegwngo who is after people's bank account number and sort number trying to steal people's money. Terry Tibs another dodgy man a car salesman wanting cars or fridge's at cheap prices. Mr Doovdé a man who says stuff in a different way mainly to annoy people. Mr Miggins an old man who just cant get used to the internet anything in the modern world. There's the rent a house sales man who just gets stuff wrong all the time. The Chinese kid who is was asking to buy a pirate DVD or to film from the back of a cinema. The dodgy Indian trying to sell internet or phone services this one is just classic and you have to see the one with the estate agent makes me laugh all the time.

There's many more people Kayvan Novak does in this show some pranks are shown while most are shown in animation but who cares it is still funny. Fonejacker is classic if you don't like it then get a sense of humour.

Fonejacker is by far the funniest show on TV now. Its a long long time when I've found a show so funny that I have to make sure I'm not eating any food or drinking any liquid when I sit down to watch this show because It will likely be projected forth onto my TV screen if I do, such is the explosive nature of the hilarity of the voices, the characters and the whole concept of the show.

Some of the characters are my favorites while others I will watch and laugh with the same regularity of say an episode of the Simpsons but the one that really is funniest is the well-spoken African gentleman who calls up unsuspecting citizens and tries to get them to give out their bank account details for such farcical reasons as: "The money needs to be pressed and steamed". The fact that the victims on the other end of the line don't realise its a joke is the other thing that makes it hilarious. Instead they get angry at him and then he pretends to get upset. You just have to see it. The accompanying animations and live-action footage are hilarious as well.

To summarise: I have never laughed as hard or violently at a TV show in a long long time.

In each episode there are several characters with different plots and stories. Some of the performances are showing the "victims"' faces and location. This helps the viewers see the reaction of the "fonejacked". The other sort of jokes includes variety of people, who are called randomly or their face could not be shown. In this case comes the marvelous animation, that reveals in an original, caricature and some times sarcastic way the topic to the audience, if it is not clear enough or some parts are misunderstood.

The fact that only one man is plotting and performing all the roles by changing his voice is praiseworthy. However, without the funny and awesome collage-animation this show would be a radio show. A drawback might be the thing that the dialogue is in certain English accents mostly and to understand them you really need perfect English or just be a British. Therefore, it can not be translated to other languages effectively enough.

I remember at 10PM watching E4, watching Fonejacker. Funny bloke, it's a shame that it isn't on the Tv anymore. One of the funniest shows you can rewatch again and again and again. Fonejacker is rarely on nowadays, it was last on 2020 on 4Music, Terry tibs, George adwdwdngo, mr Providings, Irish Mike, the mouse will never fail to make me laugh. The skits are so on point, the members of the public better be warned when the Fonejacker calls, the E4 advert for series 2 was funny, Kayvan Novak is a funny man, he should bring the show back for another season. No one can beat his voice acting impressions and his pranking skills. Honestly, one of the best shows in UK television.
