Irish comedian totally confuses White House with prank call

Comedian Ross Browne has been at it again.

This time the Corkman, who you may recognise from RTE's 'The Fear', has been prank calling the White House pretending to be one of President Barack Obama's distant cousins from Moneygall in Co. Offaly.

The 96FM DJ sent us a recording of the call where he tells the poor White House telephone operator that the President had said to "give him a call before his presidency ended".

The operator then tells Ross that he has got through to the "comment line" and asks him if he wants to send an email.

Ross, in true Irish fashion, tells her to "work away", "drive on" and "chalk it down" which confuses the poor woman so much that she tells him: "I'm afraid, sir, we only speak English here."

Have a listen to the full prank call below.

Class.
