I used to have a Mission Impossible style voicemail message, “Your mission if you choose to accept it is…..”, that was over 2 minutes long. This was early 2000’s and people still seemed to prefer leaving a recorded message than texting.
People either found it funny or were pissed off it took them so long to get to leaving a message. Had several irate messages from my mom that I wish I still had haha
I was low-key obsessed with having cool voicemails after I moved out of my parent’s house back in the ’90s and somehow missed this tape. My roommate and I just did some call and response thing with a Nine Inch Nails song playing in the background and I wish I still had it :-/
It was extra cool that the last 4 digits of our number spelled OBEY.

Dear god, it’s scary that I remembered all of those…
