It's pretty weird hearing Can of Pozinsky's Quality Mixed Vegetables voice emanating from human being H. Jon Benjamin

How do you feel about Coach McGurk or Ben Katz? Also--and I'm speaking from personal experience--never discover what Jon Benjamin looks like or the magic will be shattered for you, even if you can already guess exactly what he looks like.

Without Rowland's idiosyncratic delivery there's no way Rick and Morty would've gone beyond that first short about Doc ( Back to the Future (1985 dir. Robert Zemeckis) convincing Marty (Ibid) to suck his aged nutsack.

Benjamin also did the audiobook version of the comedy memoir he wrote. Although the real perfect audiobook is Matt Berry reading the fictional autobiography of his character Steven Toast.

There was a long time between when I last watched Home Movies and when I first watched Archer, so I didn't really associate the voice with McGurk anymore when I picked up Archer.

Also if you've never actually seen Jon Benjamin that means you haven't seen Jon Benjamin Has a Van which means you're really missing out. It was a short lived sketch comedy show he did for Comedy Central.

Source4Leko posted:The problem with Rick and morty is the same as the problem with South Park. Namely that it attracts incredibly immature and stupid fans . Like recall that grown adult Rick and morty fans were melting down at McDonald's over that stupid sauce because the TV show told them too. I occasionally watch that show but gently caress me if I'd ever admit it in public or want to talk about it with anyone other than my wife. I agree with this 100%. But not only about Rick and Morty, (which I also think can be a sometimes fun cartoon), but also about many other things. I sadly have terrible taste in everything, and am interested in and enjoy a lot of daggy, niche stuff, (test cricket, pro wrestling, punk music to name a few), and the "fandoms" of these things are full of the worst kinds of people. So if I want to, for example, discuss whether India should pick Jadeja or Sundar as their off spinning all-rounder, I have to have a discussion with obsessed nerdy freaks that can tell me statistics from decades ago. Or if I admit, in polite company, that I know the difference between a german suplex and a huricanrana, then I am immediately branded as being exactly like the "It's still real to me damnit!" guy. Another relevant point is that whilst I like and enjoy all of this media/pop culture/entertainment etc. none of it is my sole focus and the very basis for my identity. Its the difference between "I am Dave, and I like Test Cricket", and "I am Dave, a Test Cricket fan". If that makes sense. And for the latter, it doesn't really matter what it is, be it Test Cricket, Rick and Morty, Harry Potter, etc. If you are the kind of obsessed nerd to base your entire life on one thing that you consume, then you are going to be an insufferable arsehole. No matter even if that thing itself is actually kinda cool and harmless. The trouble comes when, as you say, these arseholes take over in the public imagination. So that those of us who just kinda like and enjoy the thing, are afraid to admit it publicly, for fear of being tarred with the same brush as Dave with his horcrux tattoo, daughter named Bellatrix, and who insists on ruining your SuperBowl party by explaining why Snape and Lily was the real love story told over the course of 5 books. If you know what I mean. edit: Barry Foster posted:Steve Coogan reading the fictional autobiography of Alan Partridge is also phenomenal BrigadierSensible has a new favorite as of 05:49 on Jun 25, 2021 |

If that was the pilot, then it’s massively toned down for the rest of the show. That pilot is utterly unwatchable with the exception of the “I had to build a bomb, Morty” cold open which is still one of the show’s funniest bits to me.

Henchman of Santa posted:Always funny to remember that Joe Rogan is the one who torpedoed his career. Can I ask what exactly happened there? I don't think we ever even got Mind of Mencia in Australia, so all I really knew was that a bunch of people whose opinions I trust hated him, and then eventually he disappeared. Our rough equivalent to Comedy Central here was the Comedy Channel. Not a huge player in terms of original content, but it imported South Park, the Daily Show and Colbert Report, every single U.S. late-night talk show, Scrubs, most every stand-up comedy special or variety show... basically every show you'd call a pretty good comedy that wasn't an aged-out sitcom or part of the Simpsons' family of adult animated FOX shows. Its big get in that sphere was Whose Line Is It Anyway; apparently Australian Whose Line reruns were such a ratings constant that, even after every other country had stopped showing it, Laura Hall still mentioned getting decent royalties just from Australia. They had a couple of originals over the years, too; nothing big, but their 'constant enough' attempts to do stand-up shows were good for that scene in Australia. I was at my parents' place a couple months ago, saw that channel's lineup now, and it's tragic: Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, Golden Girls, Big Bang Theory. I know why it happened, but it's really sadto see what was once a seminal channel for my comedic tastes and worldview apparently just give up on everyone under forty and become the Broad Sitcoms Rerun Channel.
