@Evan121991 They only kept him because they couldn't find a good Dr. Eggman Voice Actor. Mike Pollock already did his role.
However SEGA stick to Mike Pollock since the others weren't fitted for the Voice Role. Weird how the other Sonic Characters New Voice Actors SEGA approves of.
It's great they kept him because it's better than a New Voice Actor.
FINALLY!! When Mike Pollock said it I heard "Snooping as usual, I see" and not "Snoo PINGAS usual, I see"!! I've been wishing I could hear it like that for quite a while now...
@metaXzero Despite old & didn't get a reply, there was an interview where he has a comment on it from July 2009, which this Video was Feb 2009.
"No. I am contractually bound, and once it was pointed out me that I was doing memes I thought better of it. There should be some video of me refusing to do the Pingas thing at AnimeNEXT"
Then they wonder & he said, "No, I was tricked into doing Pingas once, but I'm happy to say I overenunciated it so it sounded bad.", since he didn't nail that part.
@IxisTyler actually it's real, it's from an interview after all( I dont have the video), but I've seen the interview and he's been asked by some fans to say that word, but he never was aware of the meaning behind this word. But after learned the "message" behind this word and he's been asked again to pronounce it out, he didn't want to XD, cause he then knew what it meant.
Before,in america he was known as Dr. Robotnik,and in japan he was known as Dr. Eggman but japan decided we will all have THERE NAME and at times mention our old one sure that's his full name but in reality it's eggman now(FYI sonic was SUPPOSED to appeal to america yet Sega of japan has everything about sonic
@Carnage1235 O.o you serious? damn if you're the type who loves mindless violence, random humor, "Ahem" adult contents and such... and amazing details in cartoonish style you guys surely have let the best things in life pass you by...
Anime is the Japanese style of cartoon just like Disney have theirs.
Ahh, adult content, the shining star in my burning hatred for anime.... If you want, I can send you a message I have saved in a word document wrote out to an old friend who asked me if I liked it (since it's far too large for the comment section here).
I think Mike didn't understand the joke when he did this. Somebody claiming to be him has come forth, saying he did the research and now regrets doing this. Nonethless, it's immortalized.
While Pollock is superior, I'm glad Jason Griffith, and Dan green and the rest of the 4kids cast steped up their talent when it comes to their Sonic voices, I mean griffith made Sonic sound so arrogant in Black Knight, while aslo making Shadow sound badass, Tails doesn't as much as a girl as before, and Knuckles sounds tough, but Pollock gives eggman the nice blend of comedy and serious, which is why he wins, Pollock is the better actor, but Deem bristow sounded better.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He tried to pronounce the ING part. Robotnik didnt pronounce it like that, I can do a better one than this guy. Although I have to say I am pro Eggman, seeing that Robotnik didnt have the balls to bombard any planets with nukes.
It exists because those who have seen the clip know exactly what he's really saying, and hence spell it as such; however the "g" is pronounced very lightly, if at all, and "as" is essentially deaccented to sound like "is." Great opportunities like this don't come around often.
