Dozens Of Chewbacca Impersonators Blowing Up Man's Phone After Craigslist Ad

FRANKLIN COUNTY, Va. (CBS13) – A Virginia man's phone won't stop ringing, and he has an online prank to thank for that.

A recent Craigslist ad asked readers to call Blake Webb and deliver their best impression of Chewbacca from "Star Wars."

The ad promises the caller with the best impression will win $50.

Trouble is, Webb never posted the ad. He's never even seen Star Wars.

Turns out Webb's friends posted the Craigslist ad as a prank.

Webb says he's received dozens of calls since the ad went up last week.

"Most of the time, they would just go: 'Hey, is this the guy from Craigslist?' And I was like: 'What?' (imitating Chewbacca) And I was like: 'Hello!' They'd be like: 'Is that good?' And I'd be like: 'Yeah, that was pretty good,' " Webb said.

Webb is being a good sport about the prank, saying he'll keep the ad up until May 4, which is Star Wars Day for fans of the movie series who greet each other with "may the fourth be with you."

He's also planning a revenge prank for his friends.
