Ok, this deserves to be bumped into commented. That dude is friggin awesome.

There are actually two of the main voiceover guys. Saw a segment on TV recently about them both. They are both worth about a brazilian dollars.

Whoever the guy(s) is/are, they annoy me. Whenever I see a trailer with that voice-over, I wonder why the studio couldn't get some balls and try something different instead of just feeding us the cliché. But I guess we react to it - "Oooh, movie voice guy! Here comes an epic saga!"

Haha, funny vid.

Is it too early for a salad?

It's never... to early.... for a SALAD!

That's my favorite line too, Persepolis

I've noticed fewer movie trailers are using "the movie" voice these past few years.

This reminds me of the story NPR did recently on the political attack ad guys reading nursery rhymes.

That was hilarious.

Check it out at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6450663

There is another guy who does the other half of the trailers: Hal Douglas

He did the very funny trailer for Jerry Seinfeld's Comedian (YouTube, pops)

"No I like it in here"

coming this summer...

coming this thanksgiving...

Jack Black...

is that voiceover guy..

coming sometime between now and maybe christmas...

in his latest probable movie bomb

Jack Black and Kyle Glass in

Tenacious D and The Pick of Destiny!

Don LaFontaine is my hero.

Seriously, that must be the greatest job in the world. You can sit in a studio in your sweats in your own house, talk into a mike, and get paid greatly to do it. Plus there's the satisfaction of having one of the coolest voices ever.

Tonight on a very special episode of Friends

Joey has aids

I started recognizing the same voice over and over again, and now I'm damn sick of it.

In a world...where one man...is suddenly getting a lot of media exposure for no apparent reason.

/Funny video, though

Don LaFontaine is great. i'd love to have a job like that one day, i just need someone to recognize this trillion dollar voice. ok, not really...though i would love to do it.

I was expecting the Pablo Fransisco sketch right then actually heh

Thanks Mark UK, that was friggin' hilarious.

all i know is that if i hear that goddamn smiley ad on the right side of fark.com talk one more time on scrollover i'm going to burn down a building.

When the law has failed,

and there is no hope left,

there is only one cop

who can save us all...


Paramount presents

Snoop Doggy Dogg

in

Nizzle Cop in Da Hizzle

Awesome.

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt.... his name is my name too.... whenever we go out... the people always shout.... Hey! What about Iraq?

Obligatory:

C'mon! Five of those guys in one limo! You can't get fabber than that

Rfairney: I was expecting the Pablo Fransisco sketch right then actually heh

Here's the sketch. Hilarious.(pops)

DAMMIT, SPUT!

hehe, sorry! Pipped to the post by my marginally faster typing!

I thought he was seven feet tall and had been smoking cigarettes since he was a child.

finally i see this guys face, i think we've all grown up with his voice.

polecat_bastard: OH MY GOD! NO WAY!

Solon, now where'd you get that idea?

Wait while I look it up...

/occasionally interrupted by a girl in a bikini

Seriously, That vid has NOTHING on the original with all the voice guys together.....

That ending bit was the best.

Eddie Murphy! Daddy Daycare!

Sput, do we have a prize for THIRD place?

I didn't think so either.

this guy could be part of the next generation of celebrity moviepreviewvoiceover guys

"Once... there was this kid who..."

And-1

i think you mean "billion". "brazilian" means from brazil. it's a common mistake.

[Announcer:] Next week on U62...
[Announcer:] He's back
[Announcer:] And this time
[Announcer:] He's mad

[Announcer:] Gandhi II

[Announcer:] No more Mr. Passive-Resistance
[Announcer:] He's out to kick some butt
[Announcer:] This is one bad mutha you don't wanna mess with

[Gandhi :] Don't move, slimeball

[Announcer:] He's a one man wrecking crew
[Announcer:] But he also knows how to party

[Gandhi :] Gimme a steak, medium rare

[Gangster :] Hey, Baldy!

[Announcer:] There is only one law
[Announcer:] His law

[Announcer:] Gandhi II

finally i see this guys face, i think we've all grown up with his voice.

And the scary thing is, he LOOKS like the way I'd imagined.

/either your best bowling partner who remembers to bring the sixpack, or someone you do NOT want to meet in a dark alley.

I definitely give the guy props for having one of the coolest voices in the world, but how long will it be until a computer can do his job? There are companies working dilligently on awesome artificial speech software.

Don LaFontane rocks.. but one of the true gods of Voice Acting is Frank Welker. The guy is incredible. You hear a dog bark on a movie.. that might be Frank. Guy does animals (he did the parrot in Deep Blue Sea), cartoons (He was Megatron in G1 Transformers), and tons of stuff.

The other guy is Hal Douglas.

I think this is what he meant.

That's too awesome. What a great voice.

Someone else beat you to that (w/ HTML nonetheless) by about 35 posts.

Nevermind, richlip.

I meant Stereolab.
