Shaq and Kenny Smith did the ‘I’m busy right now’ TikTok challenge and it was hilarious

Prank calls will forever be hilarious. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book for a reason. They always work.

There’s proof on TikTok. The new “I’m busy right now” challenge is 2021’s version of the “is your refrigerator running” prank call everyone used to pull back in the day.

The person is supposed to call up their friends on FaceTime and say “I’m busy right now, can I call you back later?” Then, they’re supposed to record the response of the person they called. This is an excellent troll.

So, of course, you know they had to find a way to get this on the NBA on TNT show where almost everything is jokes.

The crew had Shaq and Kenny Smith call up some of their famous friends for the challenge. The result was HILARIOUS.

Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Mark Jackson, Shareef and Shaqir O’Neal boys, Charles Barkley. All of them got got. The best reaction had to be Charles.

Just before the video cuts out, he says, “You mother….” You know what was coming next.

This was incredible. Well done by the TNT crew.
