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? |

| 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..... |

I used have my message pretending it was me answering but couldn't here the person on the other end of the line. EVERY single person who left a message fell for it. They'd be like "Hello? Hello??? HELLO!?!?!?"
It's a doozie.

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. |

my current cell phone message is lifted from The Legend of Zelda. "Its a secret to everyone but you...*beep*", from when you walk through the wall above the creepy tree and get the 100 coin

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.

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

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.

HOW DO YOU SAY GOODNIGHT TO AN ANSWERING MACHINE!!?!??!!?!
HOW DO YOU SAY I LOVE YOU TO AN ANSWERING MACHINE!!??!?!?!?!?!
Mine right now is me saying, "Would you like to hear me drink some beer? Here! (Gulp) Mmmm, good beer." and then I sing "Listen up now, I'll tell you who I am, just another stupid American. You don't wanna listen you don't wanna understand, so finish up your drink and go home."

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.

That's pretty funny mun chien. If I'd called I would have wanted to hear the whole song....and then place my order for several tonnes of cement.

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.
"huh? hmmm.... Goodmorning i'm Gambelli and i wanted to know when will you send the camions at Via Camollia"

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.

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.

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

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