1980s Crazy Calls Answering machine gag cassette.

Posted by admin on December 26, 2009


This seemed like an old commercial the first time I saw it (Actually it was) ..but at only a little over 2.00(!) a message, how could you lose?

    Where’s the song that George Costanza sings?

    They used a variant of the Beethoven’s 5th one in a 2nd-season Simpsons ep, where Barney has it on his machine…changes the words to “Nobody’s heeeeeeeere!”, but I think I know where they got it from…LOL

    Ditto! Funny thinking we don’t have anything similar to that nowadays in our digital world, sad to see such a novelty die out like that!

    “The Rap” one is like a slower version of what they did on family guy, which was hilarious.

    This is SHIT! Who would actually pay good money for that crap??? Someone hand me a spoon so I can gouge out my eardrums!

    Thank you(?) for putting “The Rap” back in my head after a good 20 years of forgetting it. I only wish the announcer guy wasn’t talking over it – I’d have it as my voicemail!

    I totally rememer this commercial too, especially Beethoven’s 5th and the rap one. My mom bought a cassette similar to this but it wasn’t as cool. I guess she didn’t want to pay the $14.95 :P

  19. sygo7g December 26, 2009 at 6:05 pm

    God I remember this ad! Too bad I never had one of those though. I remember some years later a Simpsons episode would spoof the “Beethoven’s 5th” gag with “Nobody’s here, nobody’s here..”

  20. WhatsAYak December 26, 2009 at 6:44 pm

    Yeah, I was about the same age myself…my sister used to sing the Beethoven’s Fifth one (“Nobody’s hoooooooome!”) for years afterwards. :-D

  21. Existmusic707 December 26, 2009 at 6:49 pm

    Whoever still has this tape I would like a copy.

  22. nda5150 December 26, 2009 at 7:49 pm

    Me too, and me too again. I still piss people off with that rap.

  23. MYVIDEOS4U2 December 26, 2009 at 8:27 pm

  24. patterickSTARR December 26, 2009 at 8:51 pm

  25. SirHatchporch December 26, 2009 at 9:28 pm

    Wow, I haven’t seen this in like 20 years. I always used to quote the rap one.
