Becky Barry - Famous Irish Girl Prank Caller

I was out to find an audio sample of man or woman with Irish accents. Instead, I found recordings of this cute little girl doing prank calls to different people and establishments. Boy did she make me laugh.

So I showed it to several office mates who flocked around my workstation. It was during office hours and I didn't have any way to stop them. The silent smile turned into concealed snickers... the evolved into terrible guffaws that shook the walls of our building.

"I wished I was dead that time... it was during office hours you see. But lo and behold for behind us was our BOSS, hands on his hips laughing his silly head off."

SO... here goes the antics of Rebecca Barry.

Little Becky

Something About Becky

from the blog of Simon Jones

Otherwise known as nine year old Rebecca Barry from Dublin, 'Little Becky' has been entertaining listeners to Dublins's 98FM breakfast show for some time. She was discovered by the shows hosts Dermot Whelan and Dave Moore when she was just 5 years old and singing at her Dad's office Christmas party next door to the radio station. The pair invited Becky to sing on their Christmas show ever since.

But it's the prank calls that have proved to be the biggest hit with listeners not just in Dublin, Ireland, but as far away as Australia and Canada. Of the 200 or so calls she has made the few that have found their way to the internet have been downloaded from countries right across the globe, shared by email, instant messaging, and bluetooth enabled mobile phones.

Little Becky's Funniest Prank Call

...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!...

Becky's most hilarious prank call was when she called a demolition company to request them to demolish her school. She asked for the top-boss (who luckily played along) for a wrecking ball, ball park estimates... etc. And of course requested that the all her teachers be in the buildings when they blow up the school.

Bwahahahahahaha!!! It almost cost me my job.

MOM? DAD? What do you think?

...it's ok Becky will never know...hopefully

For the parents out there, think for one second that this girl was you daughter. Or perhaps your son. What would you do? Would you be amused? Note that Becky suddenly became a darling of the masses. For Pete's sake... she even has a radio show.
