Ringtones started off as bad electronic sounding music that was really just the melody for a popular song. Some of these ringtones were recognizable and some of them were just funny. It was fun in the beginning to listen to the small short snippets of the song and try to identify it. However nows when a phone plays a song, the song is unmistakable and normally has words to go along with it.
Of course people inevitable got bored with only have songs as ringtones on their phones and new funny ringtones were created, well funny for some people. Most of these new funny ringtones are weird little men with scary voices that yell and swear at you to answer your phone. These funny ringtones can be found in a variety of accents and with a variety of commands and insults accompanying the demand that you answer your phone.
Personally I find these amusing though a bit immature, but hey everyone has to be a little immature every now and then. However I don’t think I would ever actually put on of these tones on my phone. You will mostly find these ringtones on the phones of teenagers and overgrown children. Or adults have them but more just to laugh at because hopefully they realize how inappropriate they are to let ring in public.
I have friends that have these, and they love them for about 2 days, and then they inevitably become as annoyed with them as everyone else is. I am not sure what other funny ringtones there are. I am sure there are some that are cutesy and funny without being crass and offensive, but as most of my friends are fairly young I have to confess I have yet to hear them.
