Inspired by The Simpsons no doubt, and those pranks were inspired by the Tube Bar recordings, a series of crank calls two guys made to a local bar in the mid-70s. The owner was known for his hot temper and that was their way of getting back at him. It can have its pitfalls though.

"Hi, I'm looking for a friend of mine; last name Jass, first name Hugh."
"Uh, hold on, I'll check. Hugh Jass! Would somebody check the men's room for a Hugh Jass?"
"I'm Hugh Jass."
"Telephone."

I figured that.I figure some was from Beavis and Butthead too.

These guys I watched were in the store picking up the phone in the isle which punched in the PA code and make the message over the PA while another guy walking around the store videotaping the shoppers response as the announcements came over the system.Taking chances to get busted. More likely they were probably recorded by the security cameras .
