As a joke I brought in a cardboard standup of "Austin Powers" from the 1997 movie and propped it up at the end of our phone bank by the window. It had a special feature. When you walked in front of a sensor on its eye a recording would play "YEAAAHHHH BABY!!! CHUCKLE CHUCKLE"
It made each day fun. People would come from different departments in the company to see it and and make the recording go. When someone on our team had a good call, they'd go hug it and activate the recording. One day our CEO came through because he wanted a picture for a USA Today article in front of a "call center" backdrop. He asked my boss who had put that there because it was "unprofessional" and also asked that it be removed. Someone took the cardboard and put it outside of shot in a different corner of the room. We were all amused when the USA Today article came out and due to a multiplicity of shots and poses directions and angles, and because somebody didn't notice or because somebody did notice -- Austin Powers ended up in the frame over CEO shoulder on the business page of the USA Today. 1L-2mos
