How Do You Create Funny Answering Machine Greetings?
Nobody likes reaching an answering machine instead of a human, but it happens to everybody. Make the task more enjoyable for callers with a funny answering machine greeting. Anyone can have a run-of-the-mill message, but it only takes a little creativity to make a funny and memorable one. Decide on what type of greeting would be best, whether it be a song, a rhyme or a celebrity impersonation. Remember, if Grandma calls frequently, off-color humor may not be the best choice. Pick a recent top-40 song or a favorite classic. Write lyrics that fit with the meter of the song. Record the song on the answering machine and play a karaoke song in the background so the lyrics have background music. Use a classic nursery rhyme meter for a funny poem. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is short and works well. The words “phone” and “tone” rhyme and can easily be put into a poem about an answering machine greeting. Ask a friend who does imitations to do a reading for the answering machine greeting. Hav
