If someone tried that once, you'd think it was weird and just shrug it off. But, if they still answer "uh...okay" continuously for 47 more. I'd think it was funny.

It's saying to the reader, "You think this would be a lousy prank call to pull? Well, after you call people with it 48 times and get them absolutely confused and pissed off at you, you'll find it hilarious!" Or am I wrong? Ohhh, I think i get it….

If a caller does the same prank 48 times, he must think it's pretty good. After 48 times, the recipient will think it's worse than lousy.

After 48 times, I am sure that it is more successful at annoying the victim than the most clever of prank calls. Probably more annoying than people who over use quotation marks. “Lousy” in the sense that it is not well executed and doesn’t really sufficiently “zing” the target.
