Buddy the elf, what’s your favorite color?


a humorous and annoying way to answer a phone call. the phrase derives from the movie “elf,” and is often used to keep telemarketers from calling a person’s house, although this is not the phrase’s only use. a twist between a prank call and an answering machine, the phrase is popular on sites such as mylifeisaverage.com.
note: “buddy the elf” is said as the name of the receiver, not the caller.

alternate response:
