EDIT!: http://longmont.stream:8000/radio.mp3

CLICK THE ABOVE LINK TO HEAR A 24/7 STREAM OF LPC THANKS TO FORUMS USER mark immune! Thanks mark! Glad you're immune!

Longmont Potion Castle is the handle of this hacker/phreaker/prank caller who started in the 80s. He is still anonymous and releases these tripped out prank call compilations. Its weird stuff and often hilarious. His calm cadence and deliberate manner of speech, and use of vocal effects, almost immediately infuriates everyone he calls. He's prank called such celebrities as Alex Trebek and Kiefer Sutherland.

http://www.longmontpotioncastle.com/History.htm - here's the history as described by his official website.

Unlike Jerky Boys or Crank Yankers, LPC tends to avoid profanity and gross out humor. It all has a dadaist, psychedelic feel to it. Its probably best you just listen to it and decide for yourself. Here are some gems:

LPC tries to get a hotel room:

LPC calls [as] Gamestop:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCqNS3Km5jA

LPC tries to deliver Tasmanian Syrup:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o72j7DjrEXw



Anyway I made this thread to introduce folks to this genuinely weird and hilarious artist. I encourage you to post LPC clips of your own. He's got a ton of material and its mostly all available online.

I've looked at the first 2 videos in op and they are not very good. In fact one could say they are very bad.

His brand of humor isn't for everyone. I personally think "Clown Motel" is some of his best work.

I love when he calls auto mechanics or other "manly" places of work and opens with something like "Do you stand by your work up there?".

They go from 0-10 so fast.

He also gets people into that crazy boomer-rage where they try to sound tough but just stumble through every bit of profanity they know.

it's not especially great but it has LPC in it and it's kinda cool seeing him do an acting thing and having the exact same cadence as he does in his calls

thats pretty cool. Heads up to anyone who wants to maintain not knowing what LPC looks like his face is in this video and he looks like just the kind of you'd imagine.

I am so so so happy this thread exists.

LPC was a staple of a job I worked with two good friends years back. We would constantly bring ourselves to tears on LPC listening days.

We always felt like it was this goldmine we discovered and couldnt find a soul who had ever heard of him.

The words "Daihatsu Blooper" will always immediately illicit a laugh from me and I cant even type it without chuckling.

Also his veiled threats to the gamestop employee over the Halo disc is probably my favorite moment from the entire collection.

"Youre gunna be the lowest employee when youre on the frickin ground" is one of the greatest comebacks in the history of anything


Edit: i did not know there were 2 new albums out since 15 and I am SO excited

I'm glad we could brighten your day, rough guy.

Would it kill him to print more than 5 shirts at a time? I have casually been trying to get an LPC Tshirt for years and I'm pretty sure he's just making them in his basement out of goodwill shirts. I know he is within a 5 mile radius of me and I think I have a mutual friend of his. If I have to I will go to his house I will make him sell me a shirt.

Im gonna be up 'are in about 5 minutes. Ive got 2 hum vees.
