I just answered the phone call from a telemarketer/ scammer as Coco Peru

“He’s not able to Stand up right now, poor thing. . I’ll let him know you called though!”

Wish you had recorded it.

The guy who torments the telemarketer, acting like Judy Garland is genius. Were you inspired by him?

Go you OP. That would be funny to hear.

They will be calling you again and again, you know how rare it is that anyone actually answers their phone anymore if they don't recognize the number?

My mom used to answer telemarketers like she was an opera diva. It was hilarious

Did she sing to them?

I love the "Hello, This Is Lenny" videos on YouTube. There are a bunch of them and they are all hilarious.

The Judy Garland & the telemarketer calls are hilarious.

the reaction was shock, I think they were just surprised that I was friendly and would talk to them.

"dear, lemme tell ya, the world is a vale of tears, really! that poor *my name* just can't make it through the day without pills and liquor *sigh - I don't know what to do with myself!"

I wanted to tell them about my tea but I never got the chance

R7 That's an amazing soundboard call. Kinda scary.

“Happy hulp day, hon!”

R7 - that’s funny. Thank you.

I was a telemarketer in high school. Horrible job but it does teach you to have thick skin. And made me sure to go to college for fear of being stuck in a job like that.

"Still raped over here!"

My favorite Coco Peru line from GWBG. It's awful but I laugh every time.

GWBG?

Coco is my spirit animal

"Girls Will Be Girls," R15.

R15 You must see Girls Will Be Girls if you haven't already.

I know, have to see this movie! Just checked and I don’t see it streaming anywhere except DirectTv. Damn. Great trailer and great coco tea video. This thread has been revelatory.

Thanks, all.

I bet it's cheap as hell on DVD somewhere. I know, who buys DVDs, but it's one of those movies you'll want to quote all the time.

You’re right, r20, and I just happen to have a working dvd player.

I’m on a mission.

I turned my husband on to Coco a couple of years ago. We are now both dedicated Coco Puffs. Rarely a day goes by without one or both of us saying "That bothers me" à la Coco. (Hey, we are old fucks, we get our pleasure where we can.)

R19 Check out her YouTube channel. She has some really funny videos on there, I wish she would make more. When I am really depressed, I do a binge watch, and it usually helps me feel better.

Just ordered the dvd, will be here Monday. Can’t wait.

- r19

And I agree, r22, my lengthy youtube foray lifted me, she’s more effective than Zoloft.

R23 Yay!

She has intensely beautiful blue eyes.

Love this one: Coco Goes to a Thrift Store.

"What is it about mothers picking up their children at school that is just nightmarish?"

Coco does not suffer Frauen gladly.

As Coco, did you ask: “You ever get cum in your eye caller, HMM? It BURNS.

“Mister telemarketing- I’m apparently cheap as hell!”

She sounds a lot like the wife on "Bob's Burgers."

I've had two calls recently where someone just goes, "Did you just call me?". The thing is, it was on my smartphone which I never use to make phone calls, just as internet access.

“No, mister, I didn’t call you, you called me! And you know what? Cum in your eye, it BURNS”

Hold on, let me get my husband, he's from Spain....*winsome, fabulous braggy face*...thank you....

I can’t wait for the next call

It would be great, OP, if you could set yourself up right now to record it.

When the call comes in, and you know it will, you’ll need to be ready.

Coco is the best

That’s the trick, R27!!!

Because you answered, their system flagged your number as active and will not only continue to call, but will sell your info to other telemarketers and scams.

But coco has a husband from Spain!

I answer these calls with a hale and hearty "¿Hola?". Dead silence every time.

What's funny about telemarketing is that they are costly, but obviously pay off for the proprietor in the end. If we wanted to stop them, all we'd have to do is get *everyone* to answer them and engage them in idle conversation, taking up the telemarketers' time. Eventually, it would become so unprofitable, they would stop telemarketing.

Coco is here all week too, my coco puffs!

R41,

Is it really you, Coco? For real?

Honey, the gigs are drying up (and that bothers me) so why not while away the hours with friendly gays in the DL

I still can't believe that GWBG 2 fell into a rabbit hole.....and let's be honest, it's probably never coming back out.

Ah, Coco, you are loved here. I saw your work just recently for the first and I am smitten.

Don’t worry Coco, I just bought a copy of GWBG, so you’ll have another eight bucks in your purse.

There are mini- sequels to GWBG on YouTube. The best one is called Girl Stalk!

I chat with them, I ask the telemarketers to repeat questions. I let them think I'm planning to purchase whatever it is they're selling or that I'm about to give them my credit card information.

I'll ask for their name and where they're located. But they usually hang up after I ask them what they're wearing or what they look like.

The other alternative is to get NO ONE to answer them. Or at least no one to ever buy from them. People are such idiots-- if someone is breaking the law by violating the Do Not Call list, why would you even consider doing business with them?

Coco Peru is the greatest.

And so is Clinton Leupp.
