"Manolo Cabeza de Huevo" (Spanish for "Manolo the Egg head", although interpreted as "Manolo the Testicle head") is a series of famous Spanish-language abusive prank calls made by the New York radio show El Vacilón de la Mañana (Spanish for The Morning Party).
The original set consisted in three prank calls; in these, the presenter of the show (which itself is known for making prank calls of this nature), called a person named Manuel (original for Manolo), a superintendent of a New York City building. After calling Manuel, "Manolo Cabeza de Huevo", Manolo would react angrily and insult the caller. The harassment calls were presented in the show and uploaded to the Internet.
The popularity of the prank calls was so high that El Vacilón eventually did more set of prank calls, which were again presented and uploaded. The prank calls sets were topics of discussion in many Internet blogs and forums; some users even elaborated Adobe Flash animations to depict Manolo's reaction to the calls. The sets have since become an Internet phenomenon, and have received a small cult following. The calls themselves also appeared on the discs that El Vacilón made (Vacilon 69, Tortilla Party, Luis y Moon's Chant for Neta, and SinÑEMA TóGRAFICO).
Original set
The original set consisted in three prank calls (although they may have been edited, and presented this way):
In the first one, the radio presenter of "El Vacilón" (pretending to be a tenant of an apartment of the building), called Manolo and informed him of a broken pipe. After Manolo agreed to check the pipe the next day, the caller thanked him calling him "Manolo Cabeza de Huevo". Manolo reacted angrily to this nickname, but the caller justified himself saying that everybody in the building called him that, and that he actually believed that it was Manolo's real last name. After the caller started shouting "Cabeza de Huevo!" several times, Manolo insulted him and finished the call. The second one continued where the first one left off; the caller insisted that everybody called Manolo "Cabeza de Huevo". After calling him that repeatedly, Manolo threatened of cutting the caller's head in half if he continued calling him like that. The caller said that Manolo's head itself was cut in half, like a penis, so Manolo hung up again. In the third and final call, the radio presenter insisted that Manolo should fix his pipe, but Manolo was so angry that he continuously insulted the caller. After revealing that it was a prank call for the show, Manolo insulted a final time and hung up the phone.
Second set
The second set occurred some unspecified time later. In this call, two callers from El Vacilón act as Milly and Hector, a supposed married couple. This set consists in five prank calls:
In the first one, "Milly" called Manolo, and told him to come over to her department and fix her toilet (she also mentioned that they spoke a week before). In the middle of the call, "Hector" arrived and discussed with Milly, accusing her of cheating him. He took the phone and insulted Manolo, telling him that every woman of the building said that he wanted to have sex with them. After insulting Manolo once more, Manolo lost his temper, insulted him, and hung up the phone. The second call was apparently a few minutes later, since Manolo was still angry. In this call, "Milly" called him and apologized for the behavior of her husband. Manolo threatened her of "cutting his husband in twenty pieces", and she told him not to behave like that. He threatened her husband again, and hung up the phone. In the third call, "Hector" called. He apologized with Manolo after supposedly having talked with her wife. Manolo insulted him and told him he didn't accept his apologies, and hung up. In the fourth call, "Hector" called again, telling Manolo that he was an animal since he just wanted to say he was sorry. Manolo insulted him again, and Hector said that this may be the reason why everybody called him "Manolo Cabeza de Huevo". Manolo lost his temper, insulted him various times, and hung up the phone. In the next and final call, Manolo was so angry that he kept insulting "Hector". He told him that it was a joke from El Vacilón all along, and Manolo insulted them, asking them why they didn't have any respect for people.
In this set, and the next ones, Manolo's voice and pronunciation is somewhat different, compared to the first set. This has led some users to think that the calls may be acted and not real.
