Calling all movie experts

[mindmaniac]

Can anyone think of a movie where someone is calling into a company with a really long menu? I need to get a clip of this for a presentation and I'm drawing all blanks. Also if anyone has a movie were someone is on hold for a really long time I would really appreciate it.

I am assuming you meant a really long automated phone menu.
I cant think of any movies but there was a "Married with Children" episode where Al was trying to get his Dodge fixed and had a long phone menu. He was on for something like 12 hours and then Kelly screwed up his call.

Go to TVtome.com and look up the episode. I think it may have been season 3.

That's the first one that came to my mind too, it's a classic.

There's also a good one from The Simpsons where Bart was trying to call 911 and got a long menu of crimes to choose from. "You have selected Regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered press 1..."

Does anyone know what else happens in that episode. I can't find it at TVtome.com with that description. I vaguely remember that episode but it would be perfect.

Isn't there an episode of Friends where Phoebe is waiting on hold for a really long time?

I can't find it! All I recall is that he said "If you build it, they will come. If you want them to build it for you, press 1"
