Funny Ringtones
Tired of hearing the usual
ringtones all over town? Just at the coffee shop this morning you heard that
annoying Nokia tune coming from at least three different people, and what about
that generic ring-ring that reminds you of the office phone when you’re walking
down the street on a sunny day? We all need to add some fun to our lives now and
then, and you don’t need to brush up on your punch lines to do it. Yes, aside
from the imminently useful functions we all know about, your trusty cellphone
can be used as a source of amusement for you, or depending on your ringtone, a
source of great irritation to those around you!
Luckily, there are a huge number of funny ringtones available today for nearly
every kind of cellphone – and for every kind of personality. You can download
the perfect ringtone to go with your mood, current obsession, and for more fun,
match it with a person on your address book. This means you’ll know your boss is
calling when you hear Darth Vader’s march, or better yet, an agonizing scream.
But seriously, if you’re a movie buff, you’re sure to have hours of fun with
some of the film-inspired ringtones around – from the Terminator’s harsh
Austrian accent informing you of a call, to the unmistakable Tarzan howl
replacing the monotonous “ring-ring" on your phone. And its not just Stars Wars
fanatics who are sure to get a hoot out of Yoda saying “Answer the phone you
must" or “Press the button to fulfill your destiny". Who wouldn’t giggle (or
gawk) at the sound of Jack Nicholson, Robert de Niro or the throaty voice of
Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) telling you to pick up the call?
For comic types and practical joke lovers, a funny ringtone has got to be part
of your everyday repertoire, and here you truly can go nuts. Try the bugle
call-charge! ringtone, which is sure to grab attention on a crowded bus. The
classic silly fart is another gem for those quiet times when lining up at the
bank. If you want something a little more convincing, try the laughter fit and
watch the person behind you try not to giggle. With an endless list of amusing
ringtones, you can be funny without even trying. One word of advice though, stay
away from the 50 mm machine gunfire ringtone at the airport. Others may just get
the wrong end of a stick with that particular one.
The list of entertaining ringtones spawns even to that of political icons.
Imagine Tony Blair’s voice enumerating your cellular phone’s destructive
prowess. How about George W. Bush reminding you of an incoming call? Or Prince
Charles telling you politely that you have a call coming through? These
political movers and shakers are here for one purpose- to take your calls. Beats
voice mail, doesn’t it?
For the non-political minded, there are still bound to be some ringtones to
tickle your funny bone. Ladies, what about a sexy male voice telling you how
gorgeous you are? Or the leery construction-worker wolf whistle? For the boys,
maybe a sultry Latina voice is more your style, or even the infectious yawning
tone? You can even try to test if the ringtone actually transmits the yawn to
the person next to you.
Finally, the new breed of personalized ringtones are here not just to add a
little ego to our lives, but some fun as well. You may not have the latest
hi-tech robot at home to do the dishes, but your cellphone declaring “Eric, you
have a phone call" can make you feel like 21st century boy. |
