    Very funny. Love the character play.

    Reminded me a fair bit of Aardman and so wasn't surprised to see your background.

    P.S. I work from home and those calls send me into a similar madness.

    Excellent, great animation, great choice of sound clips, good idea all the way through very well executed. So are you secretly the Fonejacker?!
