[DjRaToX]

Step 7 : clean all the shit in ur bathroom.

[sappy441]

Hey I got an idea.. send a text instead! Thank you, you can remove this stupid video now.

[mdc0rqj]

step 9 over-think leaving a voicemail step 10 worry about what your going to sound like. you will be judged!

[angelisoncrack]

For some annoying ass reason, whenever I leave a voicemail message, every sentence I speak turns into a question like I'm Kourtney Kardashian or something. I hate playing it back because I know that it'll make me want to vomit into my own ear.

[mellowman1024]

the number they showed didnt work.......

[naruxsakufan]

jews cant answer the phone on the sabbath? i did not know that, i am seventh day adventist so i also cant work on saturdays and instead i go to church on saturdays, so does this mean am not supposed to pick up the phone on saturdays.... interesting

[mohamadalikazi]

I leave the best voicemails ever

[mohamadalikazi]

@mohamadalikazi without this bullshit

[TheNebraska402]

why would you go on a date with that mountain woman

[iluvthebass3]

i ramble a lot when I leave a voicemail so yeah...i don't understand how you can NOT like this video. : )

[iloveketchuploljk123]

leaving a voice mail in a bathtub. relevant. 

[ExclusiveLM]

oh........ so putting up the middle finger while leaving a voicemail is out of the question ?? No wonder my mother-in-law hates me. Thanks howcast for the smile advice. I guess i'm going to have to take acting classes before I leave another voice mail.

[karanna9187]

Lol whatta playa. He has skintimate in his tub...

[nikerocks]

Yes now i can live my life now

[mrksiy]

i thought this was going to be funny. 

[GovindaP89]

Next thing you know you're not planning a voicemail, you're planning how to take over the world and write an essay on it.... seriously does anyone grab a pen and paper when they leave a voicemail sheesh

[hwud1]

*rings*

Receiver: Hello! How may I help you :)

Caller: um Hi, this is John Peters, calling from the number zero two two four three three six eight five th...

Receiver: Excuse me? You arright? -_-

[rayjay5002]

So i dont need a phone to make a voicemail?

[mikrosmitos]

Jesus. What is this, a fucking exam? How hard is it to just get your message out there as quick as possible, do you really have to plan every god damn detail out? What a bunch of sad cases.

[PastThoseStars]

Oh- well I usually leave bizarre voice mails forcing people to listen to me ramble on about how a dragon is destroying the world or something... Perfectly normal... ;D

[SaviorSelf15]

or hang up :) which is what I thought they were gonna do

[2s7a2m7]

OMG SHE PICKED UP WTF DO I DO!?

[SLAYEROWNZ619]

Dear Howcast, i find your videos very educational. Could you please make a new video soon teaching us all how to breathe? Alot of us forgot common sense and you remind us of how to do simple tasks such as how to run, how to talk, and even how to wipe our asses.

[nkhnanisho]

Is this shit real????

[n1kkoGFX]

Step 1: Send a text.

[TheDragontamer1000]

So I don't need a phone?

[inurb4se]

Step 7: Who are you kidding? If you are looking this up chances are nobody wants to receive your voice mail anyway.

[GiantDoucheNG]

my main problem is being insanely hostile in voicemails

[BallsOfSteel1234567]

this is to chuck norris ┌∩┐ ►_◄ ┌∩┐

[Syean15]

It's not that difficult. Just leave the message you intended to leave. Forget the rules rules and all these rules!

[peaceful1313]

Plain old stupid.

[samuer26]

Domigelo

[crazytrain344]

wait so i should call them in the bathroom...?

[superman8741]

You should leave your number in the beginning so they don't have to play back the whole thing just to get your number, but you should also leave it at the end so they can double check it????

[LankyGaming]

I thought this was going to be funny... I am disapoint.

[Ruens07]

HellO!! go on a date with me!! go on a date with me.. you go on a date with me! i know u hear me cuz im in a quiet bathtub

[0wnuquik]

K.I.S.S

[korisnik56]

[Delichtig]

How to not sound stupid while leaving a voicemail in 2 easy steps

1. Don't leave a voicemail

2. Send a text*

*If person you are calling doesn't have/like texting well I guess it sucks to be you

[letsgo2marsdude]

i wrote all these four steps down tapped them to my bathroom wall and proceeded

[MRmr011]

smosh logo anyone?

[blazetiger3]

0:58 Step 4 , Keep it Short!

Someone give me a chainsaw...:D

[22kitty7]

Omfg... 0:14 thats my phone!

[WhistlePigZILLA]

Why would I have to go through the trouble all of those times so that THEY can get the number that THEY WOULD'VE NEEDED TO HAVE TO GET TO MY VOICEMAIL IN THE FIRST PLACE!

[lov3anonymous]

@WhistlePigZILLA Are you suggesting you can only send voicemails to people who have your number? I see a lot of emphasis, but not a lot of logic.

[WhistlePigZILLA]

@lov3anonymous Yeah..... Didn't exactly put too much time into thinking about the situation before making my comment... Sorry, I just ant you to know I'm not always a dipshit...

[xRAWRER]

If he's in the house alone why is he in the bathroom?

[redwings141]

dont say I but in his reminder note it said I would like to go on a date with you, hmmm mixed messages

[jasonjitsu]

epic face at 0:56

[IkeFreshh]

0:20

What guy sits like that..

I sure don't

[MrThemochiman]

now i know wat to do when my mom calls :3

[darkshad109]

Actually a lot of people are victims of leaving their number to quick.

"Yeah it's me dave, just calling about the pipe, call me back at EightiieoyioeZero, thanks!"

[DejectedDonkey]

Wow Howcast what's next? How to prevent bad breath? Oh wait....

[Marcinda123]

step one: talk

[RedStrawberriez]

Haters are Gunnar hate. This is really useful

[TheeIncredibleFulk]

This was funny :)

[789123Y]

I've been doing it wrong all these years!

[LuckyElephant3]

some people really do leave shitty voicemails..but i think most people have a bit of common sense :)

[TheCommenter01]

stupid

[Jennyrp85]

The title of the vid should be "How to Leave A Voicemail For Complete Fucking Retards" I mean c'mon!

[chemadison]

Really? How to leave a voicemail? People, can you please publish a video on how to breathe, or take a crap? I haven't figured out how to do this yet!

[RealPilotFSX]

step 1: give me a dictionary so i can know wtf Brevity means lmao..

[2isekc]

What the hell this vide was worth shith no not even shit that's how bad it was

[Liusila]

I'm calling the number

[Halo3noob525]

What if you call them and they pick up... All that work for planning a voicemail is wasted

[joshua50101]

@Halo3noob525 Obviously this clip is meant to be a guide for insecure people who don't know if they sound stupid when leaving voicemails. If they pick up when you are rehearsing what to say and you freak out even more, I feel so sorry for you. There is no hope 4 u.

[SpiralDaze]

@Halo3noob525 I've had that happen before. Pissed me the hell off.

[Mindraker1]

@Halo3noob525 I disagree. Having it all prepared, even if it isn't a voicemail, is helpful. However, some of the points she makes aren't always necessary -- for example, if you know Mom's cell phone always displays your phone number, you don't have to tell Mom "Mom, it's me, my phone number is 555-5555, again, that's 555-5555." Mom's going to know your phone number.

[87SaleSo]

wtf? do people really need these stuff, like how to this, an that? Wtf are you turning into? one more thing, if you are talking to mashine, you already sound stupid!

[sandersjustin64]

I clicked here thinking this was going to be a funny video and not serious at all but holy fuckingshitballs wtf you dont need this shit just make it funny in my voicemail i just have me saying "hello welcome to your local america hi hello hi and circus music in the backround 🇺🇸🐔

[TheWTFSOB]

if you need to write a note about what you want to say in a message, to late you are already stupid.

[hydrolito]

@TheWTFSOB Pretty stupid to say call me at the hotel but didn't get room number or phone number or name of hotel or time you are going to be there you have to preplan what when and where things are going to be and then tell them the correct information.

[TheWTFSOB]

@hydrolito LMAO if you cant do that in your head i guess that would be kinda stupid then wouldn't it

[PrinceSumeetKK]

Hahaha.... In Bathroom.... :D

Why dont he go to Another Place.....

[mariasigma87]

OH LAWDY.

[0833936800]

กาก

[tx47e]

poeple use voicemail?

[00Aliengamer00]

Seriously?

[sexy69bitch1]

Great video!! Please take a look at my videos also!

[sexy69bitch1]

Great video!!

[1522107]

Thoughts in my head

Damn this guy i gonna get some, look at this guy getting all excited to talk to the first girl for him, hahaha the bathroom?!,,,,, thats nota bad idea *girl comes into screen* EEWWWWWW thats who he is getting nervous to call?!

[MeeSoPhony]

I have a better way, not sure if it works with all phones. If you are unsatisfied with your message, don't hang up and stop talking. The operator will ask you moments later if you want to record your message again and just hit 1 to do so.

[GabrielRoxYa]

What about jews

[iTzJustNotUrDay]

Da fuck is this

[chocolaty69z]

It's a freeken voicemail, jeez

[btsktrocks17]

Yes cause every time I want to call someone I go on YouTube and look up how to leave a voicemail just in case they don't answer.

[fraatziMaN44]

[LawlietShadow]

Texting - Voicemail.

[JESSE8500BOI]

I just do what the telemarketers do when they leave those annoying messages!

[Undyinglightofficial]

I don't think they're ever serious

[DaRandomVidzz]

I have that same pen

[podman4o5]

I really wouldn't want to prepare for ten minuets to leave a 20 second voicemail

[Demitrean]

Lol

[AmyJiffy]

For those awkward overthinkers.

[BlueWolvesProduction]

Thanks for the advice.

[12345doggydiggy]

When making a custom voice mail (like when someone calls you and it goes to voice mail) this is how you should make it:

Step 1- hit the begin recording button and say "hello?" like you would normally answer the phone.

Step 2- say your not available etc

Step 3- there ya go

[1be2be3be]

Um wtf.... Are they even serious anymore?!.......

[Yeeaahh2]

*my voice mail: Hello?.........* please leave a message after the beep

[1997boxman1997]

That is similar to smoshs symbol??? Top right

[89mrflores]

Lol maybe he didn't leave a stupid voicemail but going through that whole process just proves that he's stupid.lol wow

[blackshadowtheship]

That was a waste of my time

[koltvana]

Or u culd eat out s0me1s butt, til the make funny noises

[FxcknGone]

More like how to avoid making a stupid video , they should do "how to draw a square" next

[jlindy614]

Kjnn

[FireBlazinguy]

@thisisCJ10 not if you are calling a house phone dumbass

[ThisIsCJ10]

Or better you could send a text an avoid all of that

[aplotkowski3]

Lol I mean good tips and all, but the random fact at the end was just unnecessary, we came for the advice, not some facts about an answering machine made for Jewish people...happy hanukah!

[jrdkitty]

Once in a voice mail as i prank i blasted heavy metal c:

[TheyWantToKillMe]

STEP 1: USE SMS.

[AAAfansite]

omg just call and say hello its fred call me when u can please thanks bye

[bdray4242]

11 people were interupted by the person answering the phone as they were telling the message

[LegoMaster421]

Yes because everyone goes to the bathtub and calls somebody.

[BubbleGumBubbleGirl]

I hate when I call somebody and they don't pick up and then later they call me and I miss it so I call them back later and they were busy and when they're done they call me back and I pick up and I'm all like "OMG I was trying to call you all day! :D" And they're like "Stop calling me..*hangs up*" XD LOL it's all true until the last part...

[Athils]

Forethought? Yeah, I think I found your problem.

[TheAwesomeBunny1]

One. My phone let's me listen to the voicemail

Two. I don't really care

[mstherose11]

you will need : A PHONE

[epicrandomnessXD]

why the hell does howcast always consider the bathroom he quietest place?

coz when someones taking a shit, it aint so quiet anymore.

[n3rdbear]

@epicrandomnessXD mmm beans

[dominion4eto]

@epicrandomnessXD Dude, I was eating chocolate when I read this and choked...I almost died, but atleast I was happy XD

[ilovebilliejoearm]

@epicrandomnessXD where do you take a shit? afghanistan?

[DramaticStudent]

they should make a video on how to get a life, a job, and ALSO friends (optional.... as they would mention on every damn video)... I think they have or Too much time Or No life

hahahaaha no but... no offense :D

[97trevman]

I was in the middle of this, got frustrated and yelled "fuck you!" into the phone and hung up.

[RtoojBntOmha]

they told us to avoid the word i as i would like then at 1:03 :| id like ??

[theciskokidd]

I was high on coke and left 20 voicemails to a girl i just met. You know how theres an option to listen to your message and press 1 to delete it. Well, I thought I deleted the 19 retarded voicemails and kept the good one. Nope, she heard all of em. Each message being the same yet slightly different than the last. Talk about embarrassing

[familiee123]

What will a smile do when you can't see the person receiving the voicemail? o.O

[StarryGitarry]

@familiee123 Your voice changes when you're happy.

[cheer56781]

i sing in voicemail...its rly funny! :)

[JamalWings]

Doing a fail voicemail, thats the point of voicemails !

[satvic1]

where were you 15 years ago ! :)

[meggiemeg86]

I personally love stupid messages. They make me smile.

[crazymonkeynumber5]

HEY! how the HELL did u get my phonenumber!

[greenorange75]

Step 1. Record a Rickroll.

[internetlover58]

why would you need a smile if the person wont be seeing your face in a VOICEmail,it's not a facemail, howcast

[morganwazhere]

@internetlover58 they said you can detect smiling in a persons voice

[BabyBones11]

Does Anyone Honestly Need This? It's Just Voicemail.. It's Not The End Of The World If You Sound A Little Silly.. Hahaha x)

[cutiesoprano18]

@BabyBones11 well we don't really need it but watching it is a good time waster

[ninisrose]

i hope that all guys don't sit in their bathtub when they leave voice mails...

[SmartWaterAddictx]

"Hi! This is [Insert Name Here]'s Voicemail. Leave your message after the beep & I'll call you back. Okay, gooooooodbye." That's what I did...

[DeaconGiles]

I like how the only quiet spot he can find is in his bathtub.

[TsrisChris]

Where the heck am I going to get a smile?

[KamberBlake]

step 7, buy new notepad because i taped all the paper to my shower.

[masonmusso48]

i have the same phone...

[MatthewsTech]

Look at 0:27 then look at 1:03 - It says at 0:27 dont use words like i'd like and then at 1:03 it says that.... Dumb.

[CookieMonsterElmoLUV]

I can't smile :l

[mw2niko876]

You dont need a telephone??

[cc10125]

but how do u know they wont answer

[StarleePie47]

Smiles are detectable by voice?

[MYChemicalLyrics]

0:32 if you're talking to your significant other just add 'you' to the end of those 3 sentence things and it works great:]

[CCL124]

You need a phone too!
