I just had to call a lady from work here and her machine picked up.
She sang her message to the tune of Dadada;
As you can see we are not home uh-huh
or else we would've picked up the phone uh-huh
so leave a message at the tone uh-huh
da da da....
oh how I laughed...
Anyone hear any funny ones or made any funny ones? |

That's cause I edited the thread, cause the H's in "AHH" were stretching it over to the right.

I've seen that same thing in other threads. Maybe he posted something and then deleted it?

But its great money, and im pretty good at it (believe me, it very easy to be bad at it)...best money im gonna get for the hours i can work what with studying and all. so yeah. its alright, and easy, and no physical or mental work involved.
And im not a geek!!! - ok, well,i am , but not as much GT!!

I fucking hate answering machines now. SInce I sold my sould and started working at a call centre, all i ever hear is answer machines. Some people think they are so funny on them. Ive actually had the one quite a few times Benji - its really annoying.
But if not under work situ, it is very amusing. Just annoying,
If anyone get messages on their phone of lots of fuzzy backround noise and some chick going fucking hell, or another fucking answer machine - I do apologise.
However, Jims computer one was very funny.
His home phone message sucks. really badly.

a friend of mine had this annoying/great one whos message was similar to homers, but was made out so you thought that you were talking to mike (his name) for about 30 seconds - he put alot of research into getting the timing right by thinking of which questions you could ask and know the person would only respond with a very short answer and by timing it in experiments he got it right for 30 seconds....
only for him then do this fabulous laugh and say he wasn't in.
it was so clever, even after you'd been caught the first time, you couldn't be sure if you were being caught again everytime after that.

Unfortunately i couldn't fit in the whole song because i haven't a stand alone answering machine. It's just the operator's voice mail box that permits a minute of customized message. What surprised me the most was that despite the weird message people didn't get the irony and kept leaving me orders anyway.

My home phone number was owned by a construction company before. The first 3 months i used to recieve 30-40 calls a day by people who wanted to order tons of cement and stuff. I then had the idea to use the intro scream of sonic youth's "death valley 69" in the answering machine followed by a message like "no this is not Prebetton COnstructions". It sure confused a lot of people.

My favorite answering machine message I had recently was me doing my robot voice, and it said "Hello, I am an answering machine. Please leave a message after my tone." It was funny. My cell message is Microsoft Sam talking. It's funny. I'm a fucking riot. I'm very noteworthy.

But do they actually get 100 rupees when they leave a message? Otherwise, it's kind of a gyp, isn't it?

i have a friend who had something like that for a message, it got me more often than not. it would make me so angry. not the message, the fact that i fell for it over and over again. his wife forced him to change it, bless her soul.

My message is very boring, ala "I'm not here, please leave a message". I would like to have a more exciting one (like George from Seinfeld and his Greatest American Hero message, the best answering machine message. EVER.) but I just don't think I care enough.
My friend Matt, who sounds like Barry White, had a message which said "after the tone please leave a verbal mass-aaaage". That always cracked me up. |

This wouldn't fall in the fall in the funny catagory, but back around 1990 I had the intro to Caribou on my answering machine. I did some funny ones back then too, but of course by now I've completely forgotten them.....Damn, I must be getting old..... |
