My previous landline phone had a digital answerphone on it, and yes, there was a while where I took inspiration from the funny answerphone message lists that made it onto the early WWW from prior junk faxes and chain e-mails.
My current one - because I still get the occasional call on the landline number - might have a similar “record your own” feature, but I’ve never bothered. I use the prerecorded message that came with the base station phone.
As for my mobile… I don’t actually remember what the message is that I have on there, but it won’t be anything interesting. Also it costs money to check / make changes to it on my plan, so it won’t be getting my attention any time soon.
