Funny Ringtones
By Philip Nicosia
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 eriously,
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.
