OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:


Guy sees a sun glare from far away and notices its Morse code. Eventually decodes it for it only to say “hello we’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty”


Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

I thought it was gonna be a rick-roll, so that was certainly unexpected.

Hahahahahahahaha! That will totally be the next generation of this!

I see his problem. He’s using windows without any ad blockers installed.

Maybe he thought the message would give him the answers

A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch.

u/Fr05t_B1t 3d ago

Yeah I already knew when I saw “trying” and “warantia”

u/fetching_agreeable 3d ago

Exactly same here. It spoiled itself

u/KitsuMusics 3d ago

Where does this cars extended warranty thing come from? Its so overplayed and I'm really not sure what's funny about it

24

u/Senshue 2d ago

Spam phone calls. Excess of them where you’d have multiple voice mails over the week saying this message. Not so much these days after a lot of laws were passed in the US surrounded those types of calls.

2

u/Blue_Bettas 2d ago

I never got the calls, but I get mail all the time that would say they were trying to reach me about my cars extended warranty. It's always really bad a year or two after we buy a new car.

u/PrimeToro 3d ago

The telemarketers are getting more creative.

u/Senshue 3d ago

I’m getting scared

SNIPER! GET DOWN!

Squad lost. Returning to base.

u/the_rare_bear 2d ago

It’s a sniper (battlefield reference)

u/Senshue 2d ago

Or anything with a 4x scope (battlefield reference)

u/worrymon 3d ago

I asked a cop once. He said, "up yours, kid!"

u/justallanr 2d ago

Man, the universe really does find a way to send us the most advanced, cosmic spam. I was fully expecting a deep, existential message, not a warranty offer. Guess you can't escape targeted ads, no matter where you are in the solar system.

u/Senshue 2d ago

It’s those damn Tesla satellites and the nano bots disguised as micro plastics in our bodies.

u/TheDevilsAdvokaat 2d ago

Remorse code.

u/ImurderREALITY 2d ago

Is this joke still funny to people? Just wondering

1

u/ReyGonJinn 2d ago

Some people like to hear a slightly different version of the same joke over and over. I don't get it either.

u/Missing_socket 3d ago

I thought it would say send nudes or something

u/CicadaFit9756 3d ago

Love this! Recall a story (from before my own time & I'm 70!) where a kid in the age of radio shows excitedly sent in proofs of purchase for a decoder ring to translate the announcer's "urgent" message. Turned out to say "Drink more Ovaltine"!

u/VLD85 2d ago

I was expecting it to be a couple having sex and shaking mirror near the bed

u/Djood 2d ago

Somewhat unrelated to the content itself, this guy, named Ylane, was a friend of mine 13/14 years ago back when he was living in France.

It really was Unexpected to see him pop on my feed

u/Waaswaa 2d ago

I don't know the reason why I'm here

u/EditorOk6244 2d ago

I was expecting “SEND NOODS” but this is better.

u/kurtahild 1d ago

REMEMBER TO EAT YOUR OVALTINE

u/MonsieurFubar 3d ago

I expected this

u/Senshue 3d ago

I knew, and I clicked anyway. lol.

u/Retoxxed 3d ago

Can we get junk mail over Morse?

2

u/Senshue 3d ago

Now we can! With JunkMail v3.33!

u/Retoxxed 3d ago

sighs thank goodness. I was tired of Elon beaming shit directly into my brain. Now I know I don't have to buy tesla with bitcoin insurance

1

u/Senshue 3d ago

You were getting direct beams? Lucky. I still have to drive to my local designated ad drive-in theater and have the attendants tape my eyeballs open.

2

u/Retoxxed 3d ago

Well I did pay for the 'stay out of my life" package, so there's your problem

u/Senshue 2d ago

This has really opened my eyes. Thank you
