Dutch Insurance Company Pranks Its Own Call Center

It’s one thing to prank unsuspecting consumers as a marketing ploy. It’s another to prank one’s own employees for the same reason. But that’s exactly what Dutch insurance company Centraal Beheer did to its call center employees.

The pranks begin mundanely enough with the caller pretending to be hard of hearing. They continue to ramp up the craziness scale and, finally, the stunt ends with the caller pretending to give birth while seemingly in a vehicle on the side of the road.

Bu what’s really funny is watching the pranksters actually go through the motions of giving birth…to a doll. The stunt seems to be gaining a fair bit of traction with 327,526 YouTube views since the video was posted December 26.
