Some other techniques I've attempted in the past include:
Hitting on the (female) telemarketer. Ask her invasive personal questions about things like her appearance and sexual habits. This might work on male telemarketers as well but I've never tried it.
Randomly say "yes" and nothing else.
Make up a foreign accent and accuse them of making fun of it.
Repeat what they just said in the form of a question but with some screwed up facts:
Quote:
Them: "We'd like to offer you the National Post at no cost for six months."
Me: "You want to offer me the Globe and Mail free for six months?"

Sound depressed/suicidal and answer their questions by saying that nothing matters anymore anyways.
Vent your frustrations for the day by unleashing a flurry of obscenities at them until you hear a dialtone.
