Here's a page devoted to a device that picks up telephone calls from marketers, plays random audio at them, and records the results.
There are some amusing recordings in the 'example conversations' section.

Not the mechanical one, but I tried, after she had rambled for a bit:
"Hi Janet!"
"No I am Kelly"
"I know it's you, Janet!"
"My name is Kelly"
"You're really good at this, Janet."
"I'm not Janet"
etc
Eventually she realised I was an idiot and gave up.
I hate offshore call centres.

Fabulous result. Two more calls from them. They started to yell at me in order to get to speak to the right person!
Yelling is not the best way to sell something!
It has now gone pleasantly quiet, and I have a new hobby!

Here are a few that work for me...but you have to be careful if your father is a physician because sometimes people call who are really not all there and need help. Once I'm sure it's a sales call anything goes...
Hello?
Is this Dr. D......?'
No.
Is Dr. or Mrs. D...... at home?
I don't know.
Who is this?
You called me, don't you know?
Is Dr. D...... expected soon?
I don't know.
When would be a good time to call?
I don't know.
Well would you like to hear about XYZ Products?
I don't know.
Who is this?
You called me, don't you know?
etc.etc.etc.
Hello?
Is this Dr. D.......?
No.
Is Dr. D......... at home?
Yes.
May I speak with him please?
No.
Why not?
He's busy.
Well is Mrs. D...... at home then?
Yes.
May I speak with her instead?
No.
Why not!?
She's busy.
Will they be free in a little while?
No.
Why not?
When they start this it lasts a really long time.
Start what?
Making love on the sofa.
(Yes, my parents know I say that, Dad thinks it enhances his reputation.)
ALTERNATE FINAL LINES:
Throwing shit at each other and yelling.
Waxing their legs.
Having sex in the hot tub.
Drinking.
Whatever they do with those straps and the whip.
I don't know, but it's noisy.
Moaning like that.
Most important, you have to be quick on your feet, and play along and not laugh. Also, it totally helps to have cool parents with cool senses of humor.

Love all of those, too. Try being an idiot, though. Be repetitive and see how cross they get!

It's so fun to screw with telemarketers!
