1-800-CONFESS stupid calls

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 06-22-2004, 11:20 PM

Well, I read this is EGM this month and thought it was too funny, so I had to post it for all to see. The mag says these are real phonecalls that were recieved.

Counselor: Thank you for calling Nintendo. How can I help you?
Caller: I think there's something wrong with my Super Nintendo.
Counselor: What seems to be the problem?
Caller: Well, I tried playing it the other night and I couldn't get any of my games to work, so I decided to clean them because I thought they might be dirty.
Counselor: And that didn't work?
Caller: No, and in fact I think all my games are ruined.
Counselor: How did you clean your games?
Caller: I put them in the dishwasher on the normal cycle.
Counselor: ...
Caller: Do you think you can fix them?
Counselor: At this point, it may be a good idea to upgrade to a newer system. I'd also recommend using a cleaning kit in the future instead of using your dishwasher for your games.
Caller: I wish someone had told me that before.

Counselor: Nintendo hotline-how can I help?
Caller: In Spyro, how many more faires do I need to get to have 20 faires?
Counselor: Well, um..., how many faires do you have now?
Caller: Sixteen.
Counselor: Sooo...there's 20 fairies, and you only have 16, meaning you neeeeed...[Pauses, hoping the caller will figure this out himself]
Caller: I dunno, you tell me.
Counselor: ...
Caller: ...
Counselor: Four. The answer is 4 faires.
Caller: Oh. [click]

Counselor: Nintendo hotline-how can I help?
Caller: How do I get the key from the skeleton skating in the pond?
Counselor: Uh, I'm guessing your game is Shadowgate?
Caller: No, I don't think so.
Counselor: Trust me-it's Shadowgate.
Caller: No, I think it's something else.
Counselor: [Fed up with arguing, gives out pertinent Shadowgate tip]
Caller: OK, thanks. I have another game I'm having problems with. Hold on, i'll get it.
Counselor: Actually, the phone lines are really crowded as this is a toll-free number. Maybe you could call back when you have the game?
Caller: No. It's too hard to get through.
Counselor: I'm sure you understand that we would like to serve everyone.
Caller: Yeah, but nevermind. I'll go get the game.

Counselor: Thanks for calling Nintendo. How can I help you?
Caller: I just got Track and Field for my Gameboy and I think something's wrong with it.
Counselor: What seems to be the problem?
Caller: Well, it's missing the table tennis event.
Counselor: ...
Caller: What do I do?
Counselor: Actually, the Track and Field game doesn't have a table tennis event in it.
Caller: Why not?
Counselor: Well...I think it's called Track and Field because all of the events take place either on a track or on a field.
Caller: Thanks.

Yeah, those were funny, but they were for entertainment purposes only. (Just like the one with 10 year old kids playing old games, like Space Invaders.)

Sonic 5 · 06-22-2004, 11:32 PM

Funny.I wonder what the I.Q. of the caller is.

Ninja Hammer Man · 06-23-2004, 01:26 AM

Very funny [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

*giggles* I am so tempted to post some of the things I get in the codes/cheats e-mails after seeing this.

What really shocked me was the side bar where Enix said some guy called in, saying he beat Dragon Warrior II with no weapons.

Mariosrpg89 · 06-26-2004, 10:37 AM

Got that issue and it was pretty funny. Before that I made stupid phone calls of my own, of course I wasnt serious. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
