Inhuman Automated Answering Service (Humor)

A few years back, I had to make several phone calls in a single afternoon that led me to several answering services when all I needed was a customer service representative. The ordeal inspired me to create this parody in which an old man spends what seems like forever on the phone with an automated telephone answering service. (One of the many spoofs we did over the years for our old radio show)

The proper name is a Interactive Voice Response (IVR).

@jetboy1953 Thank you for you're clarifications. "An answering service implies a real person answering the phone" Yes. That is why an AUTOMATED answering service implies an automated machine answering the phone.

@digifreak277 Technically it's not a video.

For that matter it's not an automated answering service either, it's just a voice mail system. An answering service implies a real person answering the phone.
