Graham's number
I think some play-on-words could be performed with Mr. Stark's phone number, and Graham's number.
I require a dance of intellect. Put on your thinking shoes!
Dance with us, LRR! Dance with us into oblivion!
Do not question me! I control your arms!

Morgan: Hey, I heard he got a new phone, could you tell me Graham's number?
Paul: No.
Morgan: Uhh.. o... kay?
Paul: I just can't.
Morgan: Right then.
*Morgan goes to his room, sits at computer, IMs Jer*
WankMasterP says: hay nub, wuts G's number?
TheQuack'sMeow says: Graham's number?
WankMasterP says: ya
TheQuack'sMeow says: The exponent alone contains more digits than there are particles in the observable universe.
WankMasterP say: that must take 4EVER to dial man

Maybe mix it up with all of Graham's characters? Like each one (who is played by by Graham, of course) isn't quite right about who the real Graham is.
Like...
Morgan gives him G*Star's number.
G*Star gives him Story Guy's number.
Story Guy gives him Canadaman's number.
Canadaman gives him Detective Riley's number.
Detective Riley finally gives him Graham's number.
Graham has no idea who these other people are.
I dunno, it's half-formed in my head. But I think it could be some funny!

Seems like the next logical step from Pull Yourself Together, only this could be really funny.
For Story Guy, you need to include him saying a pass phrase just in case it is an order from his higher-ups.
Morgan: *dials number*
Story Guy: The young blonde foxtrots across the floor.
Morgan: Huh?
Story Guy: Oh nothing, may i ask who this is?
Morgan: Oh hi, this is Morgan, I was wondering if you have Graham's cell number.
Story Guy: Let me pull it up here. Ah here it is, it's 903-5768. Have a nice day Morgan.

This should encompass all of Graham's characters no matter what the size.
Including:
Bob,
Evil Inc. Assistant,
The food court guy from Eyewitness Accounts, (Brian Ralph Johnson)
The host from Hagiography Today, (Guy Phillips)
The guy that explains things obscurely from Rapid Fire
Maybe even Gibb? (Graham's hand and voice)
And then maybe pull a Strong Bad and toss in some made up ones.
Of course Graham knows nothing about these people. Except for Gibb, we all know Gibb.
Although for story guy it almost seems lost without:
(After the phone number is given)
Story Guy: You know this reminds me of the time I once had to search for the Maharaja's only daughter with naught but her scent on a scarlet handkerchief and a box of toothpicks. What I had to do was-
(Morgan hangs up and dials the number)
I sense one problem with this video, it requires many costumes. Most of which you probably still have, but still...

I... I thought that was hilarious.
Clearly, there is something deeply wrong with me.
I think you misunderstand me. I was trying to mock myself, as it seemed like I couldn't think of anything else to use that was funny. Not saying the idea is unfunny, but that my presentation of it critically failed at that point because I wasn't coming up with any way to continue it.
Note, also, I was sleep deprived when I posted that. My bad.

suggestion one is where Grahm's new phone number can't be written in exponential notation
Suggestion 2 is where nobody seems to know Grahm's actual phone number, but they keep finding his other parts.
I like both. Do both.
At the same time, in the same video, while standing on your head, and rubbing your stomach, and hopping on one foot. How that would work beyond the first four is beyond me.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the calling higher-ups give a pass phrase, which Story Guy must then respond to properly?

I prefer the idea where Morgan is asking Paul if he knows what Graham's (phone) number is and Paul thinks he's talking about the World Champion largest number. Or maybe Graham's new phone number really is Graham's Number.
I can imagine, as part of the sketch, Morgan getting frustrated and just asks Paul to key it into the phone and Paul begins txts away.
Morgan: (after Paul has clearly keyed in more digits than in a standard phone number) What are you doing?
Paul: I'm typing Graham's number into your phone.
Morgan: I think you've entered too many digits.
Paul: Look, do you want Graham's number or not?
Morgan: Yes! Fine, will this take long?
Paul: No, no, I'll be quick.
(Fade to black. Fade up again to see Paul and Morgan's Dads as Paul and Morgan, Paul still keying digits into the phone.)
Paul: And... done.
Then the punchline could be what Morgan actually wanted to tell Graham in the first place -- something really trivial.
