Answering the phone doesn’t have to be a boring “hello” anymore. funny greetings might be just what the doctor should recommend to brighten someone’s day. These fun ways to answer the phone will not only make you laugh, but they will make the caller laugh too.
some fun ways to answer the phone
download a soundboard
it’s easy to download a free app to your cell phone or computer. You can search the internet by typing “soundboards” or download a free app on your phone by searching the app store. soundboards are generally in the entertainment category.
answer the phone with pre-recorded sound clips of famous people or characters, such as homer simpson or family guy.
You can also use words like “guess who?” in a funny old cracked voice or “hey, where did you park the ice cream truck?” callers are sure to get confused, but they’ll quickly have fun with you.
disguise your voice
disguising your voice may be an old trick, but it’s certainly still a good one. use a British accent or deepen your voice to see what kind of reaction you’re going to get.
If you want to get serious about being funny when you answer the phone, buy a voice disguiser. voice disguisers are devices that modify your voice to make it unrecognizable, based on personal alarms.
High-quality voice disguisers range in price from $30 to $80 and can be purchased online. Depending on personal settings, voice disguisers can change a man’s voice to sound like a stranger, a woman’s voice to sound like a man, or a grandfather’s voice to sound like a child.
funny phrases when answering the phone
answering the phone with funny phrases, such as “talk to me” or “yello”, is a classic. however, the more creative you are, the more fun you will be. For example, according to the list keepers, the no. 1 fun way to answer the phone is: “city morgue, kill ’em, we chill ’em.”
Other main forms include: “hello, please enter your name, address and credit card number”, “the number you dialed has been disconnected” and “can I have your order?”
additional funny phrases:
- “hello. this is the suicide hotline, can it wait?”
- beeps, like a busy signal
- “run over coffee, you kill it, we grill it, how can I help you?”
- “I got the money, just let it go…”
- “Hello Johnny? I hope you dumped the body! Hurry up before they catch us!”
- “Send someone with the money and nobody gets hurt!”
- “oh no, the voices are back!”
- yell, “who sent you? who do you work for?”
use music clips
This particular scenario requires more time, preparation, and patience. however, if you’re technically inclined, you can have a series of music clips ready to play in response to whatever the caller says. Comcast used a similar tactic in one of its 2008 commercials, and it’s hilarious!
