A '''soundboard''' is a device created in [[Macromedia Flash]] that plays many short sound clips. They generally take sound clips said by celebrities and combine them into one flash creation. They are most often used in [[prank calls]], when the caller uses the soundboard to imitate a celebrity or other well known person. The individual on the other end of the phone thinks they are actually talking to a real person. In some cases, the victim associated with the prank call has no idea who the person from the soundboard is. The soundboard used is usually irrelevant unless, for example, memorable quotes from the celebrities' soundboards are revealed, which are, in most cases, easily recognized.

Soundboards typically range in size from 30-50 sound clips, but some larger boards can have clips numbering into the hundreds, even thousands as is the case with The Jackulator 9000, a soundboard boasting over 11,000 sound clips from the many [[Jack Nicholson]] movies.
