AT&T Voice Technology Commercial (2006)

[2mewtwo]

Screw AT&T. I want a KITT computer in my ride. 

[enterprise1476]

That Didn't sound like KITT at all!

[dickrammer69]

FAIL



[0neofthem]

that robot looks like a protectron lol

[ntrains]

@0neofthem The protectrons were vaguely based off of " Robby " he is the robot in the commercial.

[StabbyMcButterPants]

The sythesized voices at Lequendo sound better.

[stormsirens2]

HOLY crap I have to say this event paddle key voice machine (known as the voder)

ITS NOT HIS REAL VOICE its the program SAYit by anlogX with the pitch slowly dropping

[eujeeves]

Thumbs this if you were expecting Stephen Hawking to come on at the end lol!

[JepMasta]

I wodner who that was doing Rosie's voice, since Jean Van der Pyl passed on in 1999.

[siemenstraffic]

@JepMasta It was Tress MacNeille who does the voices in Futurama

[erikals2]

Does the robot operating VODER have a name?

[Computerfreaq15]

Where's HAL? :(

lol oh well

[stormsirens2]

@Computerfreaq15 OMgush they FORGOT hal T.T

[Zuckdawg]

Greetings professor Falcon.

[20eric07]

@Zuckdawg Falken. Or did you mean something else?

[MisterFVQ]

@Zuckdawg

It's Falken, Arsehole!

[Zuckdawg]

@MisterFVQ ....my apologies, Falken...but no need for the profanity. If Joshua would have spoken that way the good professor would have washed his mouth out with soap. And if you want to be really hardcore, it is not Falken either...but Robert Hume.

[MisterFVQ]

@Zuckdawg

Sorry. I was mad at the other day when my sister "accidentally" drop my PSP on the floor. It almost broke. Sorry again.

[Watcher3223]

@MisterFVQ

Well, now I'm guessing that you two would now prefer a nice game of chess.

[MisterFVQ]

@Watcher3223

Nah. I don't have time since I've been gone for nearly 2 weeks and I'm been busy putting my things go back to the way it use to be.

[mrgoodwil]

WarGames

FTW!

[rockypc24]

bring back the oasis ad

[rolingmota]

att SUCKS!!!! they have the whole market in the US!

[dynamicwolf]

@rolingmota

Well, look at this way, soon down the road, everyone will have to use ATT or Verizon for their cell phone service, all the little guys will be gone, bought out, merged, etc. Airlines are quickly following the same pattern with Delta now at the lead. It is just the world we live in now.

[CaptainChaos]

@rolingmota they make cool ads though

[soccergod561234]

haha, joshua!

[rockypc24]

oasis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[44drake44]

I WILL HAVE A FRIEND !! YAY !! XD

[policescannernut]

The first spech synthesizer was rsynth/Analogx Sayit.

[jgknightboyz2000]

that wasnt the original KITT, but it was kinda close

[CWO4Mann]

All Hail Robbie the Robot!

[kocky13]

now that's a commercial

[vetofwar]

That wasnt the original WOPR Voice. Ive heard its damn near impossible to recreate

[umahuma4]

shall we play a game?

[caravaggio]

:( I guess Johnny 5 was busy...

[vigo894]

Where were Soundwave and Auto from Wall-E? The Macintalk Ralph voice is

cool.

[TastyBusiness]

Wall-E wasnt around yet. And I heard no Macintalk Ralph Voice.

[hottopic007]

same

[worksoldier7]

textaloud

[lordsmokeadoob420]

Where is John Connor?

[crazycasper94]

that was neat but i agree with copstack

[lazyassbum]

Where's the HAL9000?

[AEigner]

yeah, arguable the most iconic of them all.

[copstack]

That was the worst W.O.P.R reenactment. That didn't sound like Joshua at all.

[2010mustang2]

@copstack None of the voices sounded like the originals

[Mrlegonerd2point0]

@2010mustang2 dude this was 2006

the originals are probably gone



[MouseQueen86]

@Mrlegonerd2point0 william daniels, who did the voice of kitt in the original knight rider is in fact still alive...he also did the voice of kitt for this commercial...mind you the man was in his 50s during the original run but at the time of this commercial, he was around 79 i think.

[stormsirens2]

@copstack Should have used a VOTRAX voice synthesizer

[er10b]

@copstack Didn't sound like 'Shall we play a game' at all. Fail!

[drumrugbycrazykid64]

fuck at&t they tap your phones more than you talk on them

[100eyes]

It would be awesome if GLaDOS from Portal was in there too.

[Phazety]

Amen to that brother.

[shygirl1462]

best commerical!! i loveeee wargames:]]

[Strindom]

i know the 4th voice was Joshua's...

That movie was AWESOME

[forgivenwolf]

[Death2Bigots]

Old KITT can kick new KITT's ass. Stupid Pusstang, what was NBC thinking.

[angelincal]

[temov5]

[flamingmonkays]

I love this commercial!

[juanramos1234]

i hate att i love t-mobile its way better

[PhoneReview]

What is the "All around the world" song

[Viakenny]

that's "All Around the World" by Oasis.

[piplol2468]

well all i know is that there phones were the best compared to that crappy stuff made by oother companys in some comercials thet say there system was the best in the world they were right it was

[imanerd36]

I love the original AT&T but since their partnership with the NSA, the broke a trust so I changed. But still AT& was a cool company, along with Bell Labs, and Western Electric.

[HanakoFairhall]

Hmm, that was rather cool =)

[waesrdtf]

boycott monopolies

[imsai01]

More about the details of this commercial available at imsai dot net

[TastyBusiness]

technically, didnt the imsai make the voice of the wopr? still freaking cool to see that on tv...

[imsai01]

Technically, No. The movie soundtrack had a highly manipulated voice of one of the film's actors reading his lines backwards to take inflection out of the loop.

[SPACEACE84]

ROBBY KICKS ASS, DON'T HE?

[imsai01]

With girlie fiberglass legs!

[sgtpepper2112]

what I wonder, is that the real WOPR?? it doesn't look like it, too few lights

[imsai01]

The WOPR seen in this clip was built in about a week prior to the commercial shoot. The original was trashed shortly after the filming of the original movie in 1983. More about this at imsai dot net

-Thomas "todd" Fischer

[sgtpepper1138]

looked quite good, BUT they should have had more lights

[TomMinderson]

I would rather have the WOPPER voice than the "elevator lady" voice. More nerdish cool.
