A homeless man is sitting on a park bench. You are jogging.
As you jog up to him, he holds his hand out and asks for change, you jog on past, pretending that you can’t hear him over your iPod.
Feeling guilty, you stop. You reach into the pocket of your running shorts for a couple of bucks you were saving for a bottle of water. You turn around to jog back to the homeless man.
He is already standing right behind you. The park is suddenly abandoned. His eyes are wriggling masses of wasp larvae, he outstretches his arms, each which are 5 feet in length. His mouth opens inexplicably wide, his lower jaw touching his sternum. The only sound he emits from his gaping mouth is a dial tone.
Before he pulls you into the black cavernous throat of his, you have time to scream,
“Oh god. You were phone!??”

I havn’t been this confused since i watched gorgous freeman

This -in my opinion- is not the best ‘pasta’ that tells us who phone is.
BUT WHO WAS MAN???
Is there a creepypasta I should’ve read before this one?
Yes lol
BUT WHO WAS HOMELESS MAN??
He was phone.
I think we just established that.
We still know nothing about him, other than he was phone and that he is homeless.
So who is homeless man? :3
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN!
That was unexpectedly awesome.
Fun fact… The who was phone joke still exists!
Thats actually pretty horrible…
I like that he asked for change and not paper money
“Please deposit 25 cents”
The pasta was creepy. Creepypasta.
But who was, you know what fuck this shit I’m gone

I’m laffing so hard I almost chocked
BUT WHO WAS PARK CONSTRUCTION MANAGER!?
BUT WHO WAS MAN ?
BUT WHO WAS PHONE MAN?
I can imagine this being the form of some kind of eldritch horror that calls itself phone, and catches it’s victims like this, trapping them in the phone lines for eternity and feeding of the potential energy of all the victims days that they will never have.
Am I thinking about this too much? Hm…..perhaps.
That was fantastic
It’s always the homeless..
HOBO PHONE!
This pasta is bad and you should feel bad.
Wtf?
Omg. I shat a brick laughing from this pasta. Very tasty!
WHO WAS BENCH
I FUCKING KNEW IT!
THEN WHO WAS WASP?
PIME TARADOX

BUT WHO WAS PARK BENCH?
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Shit… what the hell was I doing trying to pork a hobo’s daughter?
LMFAO
this wins so hard
chuck norris is jealous
(especially the comments (minus the n00bs -_-)
PFFFFFHAHAHAHA
I KNEW IT!
@Emox4:
There’s a meme that invariably pops up in responses to creepypasta. Usually it’s some variant of “WHO WAS X” where “X” was someone/something in the story (usually the ghost, ghoul, monster, ax-crazy japanese woman-spirit, etc.) This popped up from a really crappy old creepypasta which ended with “BUT WHO WAS PHONE”.
This pasta that you read answers the age-old question of “Who was Phone”. It’s sort of a joke that you only get when you’re on /x/ for a while.
signed,
Lonelyanon15
You know… I think this pasta actually kinda sucks. Never mind it’s awful… I don’t see why everyone else liked it so much. Or were they being sarcastic?
“A homeless man is sitting on a park bench.”
PHONE WAS AQUALUNG?
THEN WHO WAS DISAPPEARED PARK PEOPLE?!
Thank god. I am getting really sick of people running that old joke into the ground in the comment forum.
Just because it was funny once doesn’t mean it will be funny the next eight thousand times!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
THEN WHO WAS RUNNING SHORTS?!?!
BUT THEN WHO WAS HOMELESS MAN?
WIN on so many levels
mmm…
ehh.
who was…. PARK BENCH?
But I still like asking the question :(
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
now y’all annoyings will stop cause y’alls question is answered right? lol this one rocked
i thought it was gonna be corny
but i was soooooo wrong
Who was iPod?
Ok i havent been on here in a while but I’m so freaking confused. I don’t get it at all could someone please explain?
Wait what?
If I was phone THEN WHO WAS JOGGER? OH SHI-
It is a pity, that now I can not express – it is very occupied. But I will be released – I will necessarily write that I think on this question.
THEN WHO WASN’T PHONE?!
alright guise, let’s take it in
there need to be a horror-mystery
show titled “WHO WAS”
this is made of win
LOL
And @ tokidoki ty: Aww… I wanted to say that. :(
If you have any babies I want to eat them so I can have your only babies.
Phone was bum?
HOLY SHIT.
I LOVE YOU.
Dudes, I think Phone lives at the end of my street…
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
This is gonna become the stuff of legend.
I feel sorry for all the people who took this seriously and cannot see what it is parodying.
HOBO WAS PHONE!!! NOW STOP RINGING ME WHEN I’M TRYING TO PORK YOUR DAUGHTER!!
brilliant
The people that don’t understand this need to gtfo, real bad.
And now, we can always direct WHO WAS X comments here. It was funny the first 4,039,203 times, but after that, it just got old. Especially when it was commented on things that have no vagueness whatsoever. (“BUT WHO WAS LADDER?!” Seriously?).
This is the hardest, most epic win to have evar existed in the history of teh internets
You, my good sir/madam, have just won yourself an amazing 9,001 internets.
OH MY GOD! This is the best creepypasta I’ve ever read, about CreepyPasta. ^w^
Fantastic.
THEN WHO WAS-
Oh wait….
So he was the one who called you, asking what you were doing with his daughter? The mystery solved at last.
yeah no, i dont get it ?
can someone explain to me what this is about ? O_O
Finally,somebody made phone. ive been waiting for this.
Win. Epic.
O_O oh shit!!! perfect
BUT WHO WAS CREEPY PASTA WRITER???
so much win.
motherfucking WIN.
yeah its me ok. it required makeup and a change of clothes but i at least got a free meal out–….change?
CHANGE?!! YOU GOT CHANGE?!! COME ON HELP A GUY OUT!!
@Greycool & @that fucking cat & @Confused & @strat & @anoooooooooony & @Hahaha
Either obvious troll, lurk the fuck moar, gb2/gaia, or all of the above.
Now there’s a new mystery that needs solved:
WHAT WAS PHONE!?
Mystery solved.
(nice pasta xD)
Oh,my. HE WAS PHONE!
Hahahahalalalhahweewrosdgwrtohahah. :]
+10
5/5, would watch again
cool story bro, but really, who WAS phone?
THEN WHO WAS PHoh wait.
Bad end.
@anooooooooony and Hahaha, if it doesn’t make sense, go to the creepypasta archives and look through the comments. Then come back when you’re a little more intelligent and try again. It’s like the “Heron” one posted on Halloween. :o Bet that’s a new concept, huh?
As for the pasta? It was epic. ;)
THEN WHO WAS BRICK
Failed story. It makes little sense and is not scary at all.
i dont get it.
kind of reminds me of the time I failed to fight a hobo……he pissed on me after…ew….memories….ew…
Soulja boys “Kiss me through the phone” will never be the same again
GOOD GOD!
Also, this pasta made me shit my pants.
I will never sleep again.
BUT WHO WAS…oh.
BUT THEN WHO WAS DIAL TONE?
but then, who was dial tone !?
Saw it coming.
Ahahah hh That wuz awesome. Yeye nao stopped asking Who was Phone??
fail tbh
It’s ironic that this probably revived the meme, judging by the responses. They’ll probably replace phone with some other stupid object, like a kettle or brick.
Fuck.
This is the most amazing thing ever.
A++ would LOL again.
did the homeless man have snot running down his nose as well?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU RUINED THE MYSTERY! T_T how could you…
oh well it has a good meaning..give money to the homless >:( or else!
BUT WHO WAS BOTTLE OF WATER
BUT WHO WAS HOMELESS MAN???
10/10
Epic pasta is epic.
But the typo irritates me. “each OF which.”
YES.
Lolz, who was iPhone.
BUT WHO WAS WHO WAS PHONE
…
oh wait
BUT WHO WAS NOUN
What The?!. EPIC WIN!.
I Just LMAO. xD
I don’t get it, what was the point of the story and why are all these people saying who was bottle this and hobo that?
BUT WHO WAS PARK?
I love that seemingly the only point of this story is to stop everyone from asking “WHO WAS…”
HiIlarious.
MY MIND REJECTS IT
he was iphone XD
omg, i loooooove it :) !!!!!!
Very genious, I might add. I’m surprised I didn’t think of this first.
OH MY GOD I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!
BUT WHO WAS…
…damn…
SO FUCKING EPICLY EPIC I THINK I PISSED MYSELF
This makes me happy… BUT WHO WAS SPARE CHANGE?
My, my, How could I not see it.
Just, Pure win.
WHOM was he calling?.
FCK YEAH F EPIC!!!!!!!!!!
Who was you???
Awesome. Sheer win and kittens are this post.
But on a more serious note, anyone kind of think of the Crocotta legend upon the description of the hobo/phone guy?
Who actually pretends that they can’t see homeless people? Fuck ’em. They should get jobs. I tell them to their face.
That takes care of one question…
BUT WHO WAS IPOD?
WHO WAS BOTTLED WATER?
WHO WAS LARVAE?
Sorry guys, I had to do it.
BUT WHO WAS SHORTS??!??
Well played, dear writer.
The mystery solved.
hahaha win forever.
BUT WHO WAS CHANGE FOR WATER?!
Waaaait….. Then…. WHO WAS JOGGER?

It probably says something about me that I actually found this a little creepy, in a nonironic manner.
Ok so whenever someone asks this question we can all just reply
