2017: Spammed by pigs. 2018: Spammed by bears. 2019: Spammed by robocallers!
These robotic sons of bitches have been HAMMERING my phone for the last for months. My Hiya app identifies them so I can manually block them, but I would have to pay to have spams auto-blocked. Does anyone else use a better solution?
Based on the late 80s movie that literally no one remembers!
Learn more about RoboCop on Wikipedia. Robocop was kind of an annoying automaton and so are his predecessors, the roboCallers...
I was up till midnight
I'm working on other stuff, from moderate to insane nonsense. I woke up early to create this, then fell back to sleep. Frustrating to only sleep in 5 hour blocks, but I'm going to use the problem as a catalyst to create more. Maybe it can be a blessing in disguise.That's it for now! Thanks for dropping over!
Answer the phone.. have fun with them.. invite them out.. give them the wrong address
They're robot callers, you can't converse with them... Maybe could play their dumb game and get a person on the line and then blow a whistle in their ears XD
Awesome art and - as usual - with a message. Wait! Who doesn’t know Robocop? The movie was directed by a Dutchmen ( like me ), Paul Verhoeven. It might not be Terminator but it was a decent 1980s action flick.
Perhaps you can answer those spammers with some Robocop Gun sounds? That will scare them away
Glad to hear that you’re feeling energized again!

I hate those robocallers but love the mechanical hooves on that pig!

I literally got another one just 10 minutes ago... they gave an option to be on their 'do not call' list, but I doubt that simply pressing #7 will accomplish that :D
Oink oink! Havent made fun of spammies since October! :O
Create a contact called “Mr. Spammy Spammsturbater” and block the contact in all ways possible allowed by your device. Now add all those spam numbers to that contact. When a new spam call appears, save it’s info to the contact named “Mr. Spammy Spammsturbater.”
When the contact fills up, start a new one and called it... something that is safe for work, like “Billy the Bill Kid.”
I’ve been doing this for a long time. I’m surprised someone hasn’t already lobbied to have that functionality removed from our devices. 😬

This sounds worth trying! I supposedly opted out on the spammy calls, but I doubt it will stick.
Yeah the opt out seems like another trick sometimes... they just put it in the “sell it off to our spammy cousin” pile... I thought of it... I ain’t that smart... but don’t tell spammsters I said this.

Oh, I suffer from phone spammers too. I'm putting them in the black list.
The best spam I got was in Spanish (Spammish?) because I don't speak it and it was extra funny because they had some Mexican party music playing in the background, hehehee...
Aahaha, what a pity you didn't understand what they were offering you ))
We get a few of these. Also get the scammers from 'Microsoft support' and others. I've messed around with some of them pretending I don't know what they are up to
You're right, I could stay on the line and then make life difficult for the call-center guy... there just isn't a lot of time for that kind of fun though :)
I'm finding some of them hang up if they think I'm messing with them.

Yeah I get sic of those calls too. They should be outlawed on harassment. Enjoyed your sketch.
I want to track down who ever is responsible and send RoboCop to throw them about 2,500 meters!
AI is calling us. Computers!
Someone is behind the ai that's making the call. And RoboCop should punish them severely :)
