I've been holding back on getting Portal 2, and now that I've found out that Stephen Merchant voices a character in it, I'm reticent to buy it. It's a kind of uncanny valley thing. I can't look at this video and believe that voice is coming from that flying robot, because it's clearly Stephen Merchant the voice from adverts for Barclays bank and The Office. The man who just plays Stephen Merchant in everything he's in. I can picture him in a booth recording this. Total failure of immersion.
Very awesome - I think Stephen Merchants voice is perfect for this character. It's strange to hear it after I've listened to him on The Ricky Gervais Show and XFM podcasts. Has he done any other games? If so what? I'd like to hear more of his character voices.
i never played Portal 2 and are you saying that it was Wheatly who reactivated GlaDos. **** he is an Idiot which makes him likable since i love funny character
i hope stephen merchant liked playing wheatleys voice so in possibility of portal 3 he would take the chance. dont no how he would be in portal 3 but i think lots of ppl would like that :)
I love how the title of the video is "Best of Wheatley," and it's pretty much everything Wheatley says throughout the entire game. I mean, I really do love it. That's not sarcastic.
And I don't understand why people say they don't like Stephen Merchant's voice acting. I love it....to death. Until it....until it kills me.
I really do think that it's amazing how he managed to capture the bumbling idiot that Wheatley is, while still maintaining the madness, the power, and the insanity. Brilliant.

I reckon Valve thought it would be a great idea to have Merchant doing voice-acting, but then by the time it became obvious he is outrageously annoying, they'd already paid him. Don't worry Valve, I'm gutted too.
Funny that, but then most of the people I know in real life find him irritating, so it goes in swings and roundabouts I guess.
When I was playing the earlier levels I found myself actively trying not to escape with Wheatley, so I could go back to being tested on by GLaDOS, who is brilliant.
@TheoneParky thats not just you, that man stays in strange company to find wheatley as irritating, wheatley was probably the best voice acted character I have seen in gaming in the last 16 years of gaming.
@Bedrinonen Merchant provides the voice of Wheatley in Valve's 2011 video game Portal 2,[11] a role which earned him widespread acclaim among reviewers.[12] While he states his work on the project as "exhausting", Merchant is also "very pleased by the response people have had to it. - wikipedia

@TheoneParky You're retarded. People who don't like Wheatley aren't going to watch a Best of Wheatley montage. The only reason I'm here is because I seached "best Portal 2 maps" in youtube and clicked the first link beause I'm tired.
@Niprider I don't know anyone IN REAL LIFE who dislikes his voice acting, I'm not talking about the audience of this video as such. But you are right though.
@TheoneParky Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were one of those people who try to toggle people's opinion and if they dissagree they get a billion dislikes. You aren't retarded. You saved science. :D
honestly my computer miraculously managed to make this work on 1 try and now i cant play it BUT i manage to finish the whole game i got integrated chipset video card XD
@sheik530 The faith plate doesn't have to fire you as far to reach the portal. Though by the look of it, she had deliberately moved the panel upwards beforehand, thus it is no suprise it cannot reach, just so she could make some fat jokes.
It's nice to hear the dialogue working this time... I have this weird problem where there's a massive delay (we're talking 2-5 seconds) in between the lines... this makes the game so much less funnier.
Stephen Merchant!! Well OF COURSE!!! It was killing me throughout the game. Of course it's him, how could I be so stupid, I guess I was mesmerized by the game itself.
