I'm Declaring 3/22 "International Talk Like William Shatner Day"!

[SirHatchporch]

Jeez, your impression of the "sabotage" outtake is DEAD ON.

[pedalpunk57]

I can't wait for the next International Talk Like William Shatner Day!!

[ohmydinosare]

LaMarche makes an awesome shatner.

[RobertMfromLI]

Mr. LaMarche, besides for being one of the best, if not THE best Shatner impersonators (you find that perfect balance of emphasizing those "certain things" in his speech methods without going overboard), I just wanted to say "THANK YOU!" for your years of wonderful work, and for making yourself available to your fans via YouTube!

[Craigan16]

.....all Canucks are proud of this guy and his "flat A's"....!!!!

[thbthttt]

Happy 80th birthday, Bill!

[Thoughtland]

People in church should sing hymns in the style of The Shatner

[mattwo7]

What about family guy? Was that some one else?

[moeskido]

I... can't fully convey how funny this is.

[RangerMcFriendlie]

I can't wait for this in 2011!

[kirk1968]

@RangerMcFriendlie Agreed, we need to get the word out early! 3 months to go!

[classiccartoons14]

I think it's really great when stars take time to entertain during their normal lives and busy schedules just like you are doing with these vlog's. You are truly great Mr. LaMarche. I now have subscribed!

[CDenic]

First of all, you do Shatner WAY better than Kevin Pollack.

Second, I WILL be participating in International Talk Like William Shatner Day from now on.

Third, you've gotta get Spock in there...think of the possibilities...a conversation between Shatner, Spock, Brain, and of course...my childhood hero...hell, one of my adulthood heroes...the greatest genius of all time...the legendary Dr. Egon Spengler!

[Kazyman]

How could you leave out Joe Alaskey? He did great Shat!! Search him on YouTube (not UK YouTube) & check him out on some comedy show. He does Shatner & then Kirk in the same bit. His other impressions were prime too. His voice even sounds the same as Shat's without the overacting. Great stuff. I think you'll really enjoy it.

[liketheuniverse11]

Cool! I loved. this great .idea! It's really .funny! I've been. watching. Bill forever!!! He's. so charming.He's.really.unique! Long life.and prosper.wonder.Bill.!!!!!

[shpshftr66]

Wow. You really sound like Shatner. You've got that down perfectly.

[mattcarlucci]

MAURICE! MAKE MORE VIDEOS!!

[CursingCatMusic]

Hi Auntie Vera!

[lordpatthethird]

I support this.

[voiceactoritrainin1]

You are great, Mr. LaMarache. I hope one day to become a voice actor like you and other voice actors. How is it like in California?

[OBEYtheMUSIKK]

you actually sound ALOT like alec baldwin...not only look like him

[buzzbuzzoz]

I got here via your appearance on the Battleship Pretension podcast. Just wanted to mention that I'm a huge fan of yours in general, but more specifically can't wait for more Futurama. Oh, and I'd say you're now the number one most prominent Shatner impressionist in the world.

[bhamg918]

that was great, that last Orson Wells impression you did reminded me of Simian, the giant evil monkey you played on Dexters Lab. Simian sounds like a crazy version of Orson I hope you make a vid of that character too, it was great

[DarkCountDooku]

Hahahahahah! That was great

[NickBoettcher]

lol, this is the same day as my birthday. Awesome.

[kitsune720]

OMG!! When he started talking like The Brain I nearly lost it. Next to Buggs Bunny, that show was my all time favourite.

[kecole18]

Happy Talk Like William Shatner Day, everyone. I plan to rock the BillShat delivery all day. It will make customer service all the more interesting.

[kecole18]

Happy Talk Like William Shatner Day, everyone! Now if only we speak like the Gabor sisters from February 6th to February 11th.

[WilderWeinX]

SO DOING THIS.

[jsavin]

OMG - this is fabulous - the accompanying snickers of the person taping is really funny. but it's kind of scary that you are teaching so well and giving a master voice impersonation lesson while DRIVING!

[DarthKrzysztof]

I hereby vow to do this on 3/22/2010. Save the date!

[MargaritaMalfoy]

Mr. LaMarche, you are brilliant!!! ♥__♥

[TheHeronGuard]

Hahahahah! Egon Spengler... I mean Maurice LaMarche hehehe!

[Dot2784]

W00t! Finally we have a holiday that competes with international talk like a Pirate Day! Anyway I'm a huge fan^^ I better go before I begin pointless fan person babble :p XD Bye~bye

[RustyDaleShackleford]

Hilarious! Me and my dad have been doing our imitations for months since watching this. I'd love to see a video on "Internation Talke Like Orson Welles Day".

[lishakara]

I'm; so, doing-- this nextyear .

[TheWICCACHANNEL]

lol

[phytoalexa]

You are too fucking funny.

[em23]

maurice=hero

[KidCairbre]

Frank Caliendo must be fourth, maybe fifth. And Pollak does a hilarious Peter Falk.

[willV]

so THIs is the guy who does the orson welles voice I've heard in millions of cartoons since I was a kid. Amazing shatner impression too

[thegrue]

Maurice you are one of my absolute heroes. This video is fantastic, Shatner AND Welles in the same 5 minutes-- you, sir, have made my month.

[bionic1013]

oh god this is so hilarious :D love Shatner!

[Genryu17]

Your videos have been great! Really hope you do some more.

[tvTrequer]

thanks a lot for the lesson!

[Ozzman500]

For an (I thought) amusing outtake of Mr. Shatner, go to the website for the Marc Graue Studios in Burbank. Click on the "outtakes" button and proceed to click on the large, green dot above where the site reads "January 2004."  Let's just say that it has to do with proper pronunciation of the ilk to which Mr. Lamarche was referring in this video. Albeit, a different word.

[thefoole]

If you do provide "talk like Orson Welles" tips, my only possible response is:

yyyYYYess!

[maurice493]

Just put up another "Talk Like..." video. This one has to do with a little show I was once involved with concerning two lab mice and this recurring theme of world domination. Anyway, it's casual like this one, and hope you have fun with it. look for it under "More From"

[TEarthman]

@maurice493 There is a Facebook event for Bill's 80th that is getting a lot of attention by word of mouth. We'd love to have your endorsement!

facebook/Talk.Like.Shatner/

[KawaiiGeek]

Yay! You rock so much! Make more videos or I will EXPLODE!

[culpit]

That was a great tribute to William Shatner, and doing it while driving too. And I like it when you perform William Shatner's voice. I remember an Animaniacs episode where William was singing karaoke and sang the song, John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt, I always loved that episode. :) And I like your Spartacus voice on Animaniacs too.

Happy belated birthday Mr. William Shatner.

[QwertnotQuark]

I f you declare a talk like Orson Welles day i would definitely need some tips.

[jessicamonty]

yay! brilliant Moe!

[LawAndDisorder]

Would Talk Like Orson Welles Day be on May 6th (his birthday) and will you be providing lessons for it?

[maurice493]

MMMMmmmmm... could beeee...........

[sirstrongbad]

@maurice493 you could spend an entire class on the importance of the word "yes!" as a big fan of Shatner (and a Canadian!), this was great fun to watch, thank you..

[Omatic810]

That was hilarious! Thanks for sharing, and I really hope Talk Like Orson Welles day come soon.

[Panserborne]

You look like Keith Olbermann

[onlyhuman41]

Come on, fellas, you're LOSING your HEADS.

[helpmod]

I don't know about being 3rd, but he is the worst.

[stringfellow573]

I've been accused of talking like Captain Kirk in the past and I shall continue into the beyond. It brings tears of laughter.

[Cssfiend]

an amazing shatner impression, you look a lot like alec baldwin aswell

[maurice493]

Well, thanks. I never thought of myself as looking like him; he's nowhere near as heavy as me, and much better looking than me. But you know, I actually played him in "Team America: World Police". Or at least, I supplied his puppet's voice. It was great fun, though I hear Alec wasn't so wild about it.

[craponnaruto]

@maurice493 What the fu- I was just looking at Team America!

[NintenBeau]

This was funny and useful for those wanting to do a Shatner impression. Great work, and it's not hard at all to see how before going into voice over you were a comedian! 5 stars and favourited!

[cpuaggie]

Wow, that's an excellent impersonation. I kept having flashbacks to Star Trek episode V.

[poess26]

I posted a response video...my william shatner sucks :(

lol

[jbrooes]

hilarous

[LazloLozlaenQro]

To unknowingly celebrate the Shatner day I went to see Watchmen; almost everybody recited the leaden dialoges like Kirk, but that Ozymandias guy is really an advanced student of the Shatner acting style, hairpiece included!

[pezjohnson]

finifinito did a WAY better response than I did, good...job man.

[READINGIT]

What a pity its 24th here in NZ but inspired by William Shatner check out my video honoring him "Eggles learns to fly"

[Tresjolie9]

Trying to spread the word. Also what is all this talk about facebook :-)

[UptownHunter]

Such... short notice... !

[AlisongsLA]

Thanks for sending this me on March 23rd, Maurice! You do the greatest Shat, in my opinion. But, then again, I'm not sure I've ever heard the others. Let's do sushi with Bill again, soon!

[MidnightNinjaCat]

I am...so...doing this... ontheairtoday! (Station manager is going to kill me.)

[maurice493]

That's right folks... held.. over.. one.. more... DAY!! (Just pretend it's like Christmas fell on Sunday, so you're getting today as a holiday, too, and Shat It Up Wherever You Go!)

[YachirusSong]

I...caught THIS...far too late for...celebration. I must attempt TOO MARK my......calendar for....NEXT time.

[maurice493]

You.... have... NOT ...missedit! I... HAVE.. extended it.... one more day... likeanyotherholidaythatfalsson­aSunday! (Shatner also runs a lot of words together in a very, nonchalant, jovial fashion....)

[sacrednic]

I missed out too :(

[effinpeaz]

Ah, caught this too late. Marking this down for 2010.

[wingitprod]

I.... am ... a nerd.....

[CinemaniaxNet]

Any chances that you would know how to reach or were to send an email to get anshers out of five questions being ask to Bill Shatner for our Cinemaniax's STAR TREK Round Table audio special ?

[jaymall]

such short notice!

[ElysiumNZ]

Agreed.

[notbuster126]

I tryed an impression... not a very good one at all XD

[phillocs]

great job Maurice I hope it catches on

[jbstrojan]

Maurice, we want an official talk like Orson Welles Day!

...or at least a video of you imitating him!! ;)

[poopbuttcowboy]

This is weird. I was actually talking like Shatner today before I watched this video. It..is.... destiny....

[R0dashi]

oh man this is great

[yutu34]

Thanks guys, hilarious. WS is the man, we are but poor imitations.

Celebrate 'Shatmoy' (22-26 March) every year and it begins with ITLWSD

Love your work Maurice

[52media]

It's a shame that the 1st Int'l Talk like WS Day fell on a Sunday, I woke up said "Good...........morning.......­..........honey! ahhhhhch." and fell back asleep. Next year will be better.

[cappel45]

I wish you luck! Sadly, my call for a talk like James Mason day was ignored by a cold and uncaring world.

I'll practice my air intake as I spread the word...

[tehblintzor]

Hilarious.

Side note: I just realized you voiced Egon on the Real Ghostbusters. You were my favorite cartoon character growing up. I think I was Egon for three Halloweens!

[kirk1968]

This is the greatest thing I've ever encountered online, going back to 1983 with 300-baud CompuServe. I...must...com-MEND EEYEW...on your performance, sir.

Happy Birthday, Shat! I hope you go another 20 years and never slow down.

[SeventhEve]

Mo! It's great to see you, and in such a hilarious context. You probably don't remember me, we last conversed when I was but a youngin'. Ah, those good ol' days of AOL instant messages... I still have your autograph somewhere.

Anyway, I hear your voice in every animated series I watch, so it's as if we never stopped speaking.

I.. will... endeavor to... speak like William.... Shatner... today.

--- Liz

[radiofan6872]

This is great! And as much as I will enjoy the ITLWSD, I am looking much more forward to the International Talk Like Orson Welles Day.

Also... I knew what Fridays was, and it ended 7 years before I was even born. Kinda sad.

Mostly, I'm just thrilled to hear the Orson Welles thing again!

[celebrityroasts27]

Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday..........Bill Shat-a-ner

[MsGeek703]

Shat happens.

[McGoiter]

I...wish my....Shatner was up...to par.

[Montaukmedia]

i can not start my day.....with out......keanu's sausage....IN MY MOUTH

[gotilk]

Hilarious. I nearly Shatnered.

[gotilk]

... myself.

[MLAProductions]

Greetings Moe! Nice to see video of you. -Erika

[RonMotta1972]

Mr. LaMarche, I saw this video not ten minutes ago, heeded its instructions and already my wife has threatened me with divorce.

Of course, I'm not letting that stop me.

[maurice493]

Yeeeww.... mustnot....succumb!! Yeeww.... canalwaysgetanotherwife...Yew.­..can.. only...learn...todo...Shatner.­ ..once! (I begin shaking a communicator violently in my hand....) ROOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!

[RonMotta1972]

I told her that like a poor marksman she keeps...missing...thetargit!

[maurice493]

Actually, you should probably make up with her. You don't want to be talk-singing the words, "I miss.... theeee...earth...SO.. .. Muuuch.................. Imissmywiiiiife!"

[Cyberphin]

Interstellar?

[kavols]

Can't wait for May the 5th to get the Orson Welles tips for May the 6th.

[theyakkoman]

Well, I [paus] better [paus] start talking like[inhale] captain Kirk [paus] right [inhale] now.

Was that good or did I overdo it?

[WebeloZappBrannigan]

I [pause] don't think you can [pause] over do it [sharp inhale].

[dude851884]

I love it how he's telling us while talking like Shatner.

[toonyswedegirl2]

Your version always crack me up, Mo-ski! Thanks for sharing!

[unlvcrjchick]

I'm forwarding this video to all of my friends (and even nonfriends). It's just too hilarious and monumental *not* to share it! After all, it's the first International Talk LIke William Shatner Day!

Or technically, maybe it isn't the first, since I believe you coined the phrase ITLWSD last year, if I'm recalling correctly.

In any event, for the sake of simplicity, let's just consider this one the first and celebrate it as such! :)

[takineko]

I thought you'd abandoned this page or something. ^^

[mysterg]

I have posted this on my blog; we MUST SPREAD THE LOVE AND THE DAY!!!

(Promise:))

[mywootgarden]

congrats on spawning a new holiday !! i shall follow your insructions and help inform the masses! thanks for posting!

[voiceroy]

First in! Sheer brilliance.
