The prank call
The man in the prank call identifies himself as Kerpal and claims to be of 'Pakistani' descent (highlighted by the last dialogue spoken by him in the call; "just because I'm Paki does not mean I stink!"). A man known as Abtar answers the telephone. Kerpal then alleges that Abtar's older daughter kicked his dog. Abtar asks his daughter in Punjabi: "Dog noo kick kita see?" (Did you kick the dog?). After minutes of confusion, it is revealed that the daughter knows nothing about kicking Kerpal's dog, let alone who Kerpal is. The call eventually degrades into a shouting match with Kerpal shouting obscenities.
History
At least three different Flash animations have been created to visualize this call. The simplest one, thought to be the original, was created by Adam Letalik and published on FlatPlanet in late 1999.
This phone call is still played by radio stations, notably KQRS-FM in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The line "You know damn right!" is a catchphrase of KQRS personality Tom Barnard.
Variations
Soundboards featuring clips from "You Kicked My Dog" can be found on the internet. Other pranks have been successfully conducted using such soundboards and have been released as alternate versions of the original.Many sequels to "You Kicked My Dog" exist on the Internet. One popular version features a conversation between two Indian-accented men where the caller, Purpa Sadu (a.k.a kerpal), requests to be picked up from an airport, but the call degenerates into another conflict using harsh language.
