Roger Ebert samples his new computer voice

[BandChickShauna]

All you inconsiderate/idiot/douchebags making disparaging comments should think before you type.

[sean6986]

that's what you get for hating UHF

[secretworldleader]

ITT: Inbred Rednecks bitching about Ebert pointing out that Ryan Dunn is a fucking idiot who got his passengers killed :D

[kellygreen5556]

They need:1) a better wig for the home attendant 2) a mask for Roger

[Jeffo193]

@kellygreen5556 1. That's his wife, 2. He now has a prosthetic chin...

[bloboshitful]

The wife looks like Cedric the Entertainer

[TheBitchinbabs]

EBERT=UGLY

FANS=LOSERS

[RottenJaws]

I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille!

[Charlenefabulous]

@RottenJaws I LOVE LOVE LOVE your comment. All the rotteness of Ebert for decades has caught up with him. It is KARMA BABY

[kellygreen5556]

So glad ebert is even more fucked up

[RockyPeroxide]

Uncanney valley.

Whoa

[ElliotovHull]

This sure is

*put's on sunglasses*

Jaw-dropping technology

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­H!!!!!!!!!!!

[jwhite0398]

"Friends don't let jackasses drive drunk"

What a fucked-up thing to say. As If losing the bottom of his jaw wasn't a big enough clue for him to keep his damn mouth shut.

[TheDeeFormed]

Ebert is some type of goon from Mars or something. Failed at writing movies so he just trashes other's work. Anyone who needs his opinion is sad.

[JawMissing]

jaw dropping talk!

[kellygreen5556]

@JawMissing I love it!

[Charlenefabulous]

@JawMissing You are someone after my own heart

[29larron]

Man that broad waitn for him to take that last ride,so she can EAT,most sistas do that shit,n b4u Jesse/Al Sharpton wannabes come for my neck,im black ,im just callin it how i see it.

[ltsjack]

too bad his face looks like a mess, lol. Couldn't they have fixed that? :S

[Mollysconfession]

@AustrianDumbass although extremely insensitive and although i'm also upset he did have a point.

[TheBitchinbabs]

It's karma

[BaseAndAcid]

WHAT HAPPEN TO EBERT? SINCE WHEN DID HE LOSE HIS JAW&VOICE?

[cinemaspaz]

@BaseAndAcid Some years ago, he got thyroid cancer, and the surgery made him lose his ability to speak. They also had to remove part of his jaw.

[BaseAndAcid]

@cinemaspaz Thanks for taking the time to clear this up for me, sir.

[TheBitchinbabs]

Roger Ebert is the drainage from a colostomy bag

[Dottiecurran]

I don't believe any woman would fuck that, even for money. I do believe Ebert was never into women, and lost his sex drive in the fantasy world of Hollywood.

[ZarahLean]

The "wife" will get the money. I personally don't believe Ebert was into women but it doesn't matter now because ethey can't have sex anyway. Ebert's masterpeices are "Who Killed Bambi?" and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"...total trash. He was always totally ugly and without style, cartoon glasses, etc but now is deformed and maybe could be in JAWS

[Dottiecurran]

Ebert is a freak show and always was about as grim and ugly as can be, A don't care about his home attendant or hired help. Roger Ebert was a failed sleaze screen play writer who pans movies out of being jealous. A former drunk, too

[mushroomhill]

LMFAO!! I'd rather die in a drunken firey car crash than live like that!

[ZarahLean]

How about one that says "I'm a cheap cunt jealous of people who make movies because I failed as a screenplay writer. (Ebert's movie "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" was the worst crap ever) I'm a drunk but attack the dead for drinking even before the family can bury him, My wife wants my money, too" Ain't Karma a bitch!

[silo83]

He seems suprise on the clip xD

[bruschj]

in parts you can hear ebert's natural voice very clearly

[BoAchaser]

lol at the comment before me

[cryptogramz]

great dick sucking lips

[VenomShock]

When is he actually going to start using it? I've been watching the show since Ep1, and yet he allways has someone reading for him.

When is he going to use the Computer Voice?

[ohboyhey2k4]

i fucking love ebert

[thatnerdyrefrenceguy]

The man is a badass!

[Pentdad]

I heard a rumour that God gave him cancer because he liked the phantom menace?

[Pentdad]

@Pentdad But on a serious note I have been watching alot of his reviews with Siskel and they are great, so dont get angry at me guys. He messed up only with phantom menace though.

[lsl70]

I bet Stephen Hawking is jealous.

[faber939]

@lsl70

Hawking actually likes his more primitive speech software. They've offered to upgrade it to make it sound more natural, but he's grown accustomed to it as being his voice.

[tartfuel]

@lsl70 Actually they offered to give Stephen Hawking a british computer voice that sounds more like he did, and he refused it. He said the stilted, American voice he's been using for decades IS his voice now and to hear anything different wouldn't sound right to him.

[vicprobey]

Would you like to play a game?

[emberjed]

People, come on, what's the point of even having jokes if people are just going to attack you every time you make them? You are just spending time furthering the stereotype of the angry YouTube commentator.

[senorwhiskers2010]

4 or 5 years ago, Roger Ebert didn't know that he was going to have to deal with this.

I have read so many horrible comments, that statistically, something terrible is bound to happen to one or more of the people who made those comments. Please don't ask for sympathy when it does. YOU WILL REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE when your little sister dies of leukemia or your mom has her breast cut off from cancer or you or you dad gets diagnosed with colon cancer. You WILL deserve it.

[RowdyRodimus]

Videogames might not be and art to Ebert but he sure does look like a Picasso

[dfl4701]

I am glad technology is helping those who have gone through such issues.

[19kiggs]

Ahh, oh shit that scared me. He looks like a puppet.

[dfl4701]

@19kiggs You may think laughing at someone losing half their face due to cancer is a funny joke, but be careful what you make fun of. Things have a way of coming back to haunt you.

[Dottiecurran]

@dfl4701 Yeah, Roger you being ugly in every way is karma, baby! Ebert is a rotten (really) freak show

[vicprobey]

Props to Ebert for being afraid to die. Honestly I would probably blow my brains out if I was missing an arm or leg. If I lost my jaw and voice I would definitely throw myself off a building.

[killoger]

@vicprobey dont talk shit if you dont know crap. "I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state." he is 100 times more of a man then you well ever be. he did this so he could be with his wife and love ones. i hope you never have to back your words.

[rqole]

Man, this technology is jaw dropping!

[vicprobey]

@rqole Bahahahhaha

[Kotarohoshiro]

@rqole lmao...niccce

[kfcism1]

@rqole do you get it? it's funny because he doesn't have a jaw to drop.

[ganonforce]

@rqole oh good lord we going hell if there is one.

[jackbenimble7]

Poor guy. Ebert is my favorite critic of all time, sad to see him like this.

[OffDWallNotDRack]

It still sounds robotic, but it actually sounds human now also. Sorta humanoid. Huge improvement over the robotic voices from just like 10 years ago. I'm impressed. Another 5 years or so and I think they'll have it nailed. They could probably perfect it now, but the progress is probably a bit slow, since I can't imagine that much money being spent on evolving this technology.

[killoger]

@OffDWallNotDRack he made a joke about his old computer voice that if he slowed it down he sounded like hal 9000. the cool thing is what there doing to make it like your old voice.

[027220]

Nice to hear his old voice again.

[Superfreaxx]

I find his artificial voice creepy. It sounds so devoid of personality...

[parnowihavetogoblind]

D:

.

[JepMasta]

that is AMAZING!...and Sad at the same time

[Neweddy24]

sweet



[TheYoubobble]

that is sad

[pagliaccinodlemantra]

really cool, i never hear any critic about movies, only Roger Ebert, he is the best critic, and now a motivational man, who can make his voice again.

[anxresi]

Somebody get on the blower to Mr Norton!! Roger Ebert to take over the role of The Joker!!

.. Too lowbrow?

[B1ggu5]

Roger has made peace with how he looks, as should we.

[dimestarr91]

I'm gonna go to hell for laughing at this but I can't help it....so awkward.

[dimestarr91]

I'd rather die than look like that for the rest of my life....sucks for him.

[RYNO2511]

whenever i see his face it makes me sad :(

[ericmeloman85]

poor guy. Hope some how he gets better

[Vladutz2000]

@ericmeloman85 he is cancer free

[Minic15]

Tear-jerky Oprah editing is a fail.

[ShirtlessBauer]

...This is the first I've heard of this.

[xaxie1]

he just looks so different to look at, its so sad...

[Stabesy]

Roger looks quite happy with himself

[Applemask]

It really does sound just like him.

[skinwalkerxxx]

I wonder if they could rebuild another jaw

[kittykatro]

Holly shit!!!!! WTF happened to his face????

[Plasencia09]

@kittykatro Cancer

[fizzletto3]

@kittykatro He had cancer and had to have his whole jaw bone removed

[kittykatro]

@fizzletto3 Yikes!!!! Beter dead, than like this!

[MagnusWyvern]

@kittykatro Dead? Because you look different and can't talk? That's apretty silly.

[kittykatro]

@MagnusWyvern well...he looks like a freak with his mouth dangling like that!!!!

[pervatasaurus]

@kittykatro I think most people would rather have his face than to have your brain, bitch..

[skeezerzz]

@kittykatro wow shut the fuck up

[SpamLizzo]

That's pretty cool he at least got his voice back...somewhat.

[abcdefh1992]

Good Mr. Ebert. Now type, "Video games are a legitimate art form and I am a dumbass for passing off an entire medium that I never experienced for myself.

[xentry]

@abcdefh1992 nono, Hes probably played duck hunt once or twice. Hes definitely entittled to the opinion he writes based on that heavy research.

[Korindar]

@abcdefh1992 We can only hope he dies soon so people stop listening to his ridiculous opinions.

[slamaplaya]

@abcdefh1992 He did, search "okay kids, you can play on my lawn" in google.

[GoatFace99]

That's tight.

[JoshSitar]

Jesus Christ that is so creepy. Why does his mouth just hang open like that? I know something happened to him, but I'm wondering why they didn't fix it so that his jaw isn't just slack like that. It looks really bad.

[nyc14gauge]

@JoshSitar They removed most of his jawbone. That's why. Don't you feel a bit like an asshole now?

[JoshSitar]

@nyc14gauge Nope. Why do you have a problem with that regularly?

[nyc14gauge]

@JoshSitar With assholes? Or jawbones? 

[RozarSmacco]

@JoshSitar It's a miracle he's even alive...you think he cares about something as superficial as his physical appearance after all he has been through?

[harlanmiller]

i went against my better judgment & actually watched oprah this day & i'm not afraid to admit i cried a little at this. the fact that his wife can hear her husband's voice again after several years...excuse me...

[coady28]

I gatta say this guy is the man!! I had know idea he liked the dark meat,LOL.

[jazzgtrplayer]

I went to Ebertfest and shook his hand. He attended the movies and introduced them himself through his computer. He seemed very active and energetic. A remarkable person and an inspiration to those who have gone through medical trauma.

[MrGirlfucker]

fuck this guy creeps me out.....

[tubeage]

@MrGirlfucker : i wonder how many people "mrgirlfucker" creeps out

[Carthsting]

This man is great, his power is in his mind, not in his voice or jaw.

[josephkrolikowski]

Love your work Mr. Ebert - hang in there.

[PhilipWunelle]

Omg, that broke my heart! :'( I love Ebert!

[Sac077]

I understands the part about cancer but why is his jaw like that?

[milosc9]

@Sac077 he had his whole lower jaw removed

[Sac077]

@milosc9 Damn!

[Stellerman7]

At least he'll have some resembelence of his old voice...too bad he can't actually speak himself.

[giganticdrill]

Myabe now that a computer program has given him new voice, he can finally open up and ACCEPT the Video Games As Art movement. But who am i kidding. Long live ignorence.

[cancerbero8]

@giganticdrill

It's funny, you can't even spell "ignorance" correctly...

[mstews]

Couldn't they stick a fake jaw in his mouth or something? It's super creepy how his mouth just hangs open like that.

[AltimaNEO]

@mstews He was saying he doesnt want more surgery. They even said they could probably fix his voice. But hes just tired of all the bullshit, and damage they did on one of the surgeries.

[vfxfan]

Roger recently hated "Kick-Ass." But I bet he was smiling the whole way through.

[ktm5194]

@vfxfan lol i just imagined that in my head, so funny XD

[brie911rox]

NICE!

@vfxfan

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

i feel bad 4 him

[lever525]

honestly its hard to believe this is actually roger ebert, its so....sad you know

[adrianlindsaylohan]

oh my god he looks terrible, those stupid cancers

[JackStaplesButler]

This brought a smile to my face. I was afraid the great Ebert voice had been lost, but I had an idea about some kind of technology like this. Well done Roger Ebert for powering through.

[oldfool666]

My god his face: poor bugger. Its pretty shocking to see especially after watching so many of his reviews people post on Youtube.

[TimmyTickle]

@oldfool666: Absolutely. Little wonder that his blog page and his film review page both have oldish photos of Ebert at the top, rather than a recent photo.

[EdwardsAndRosensteel]

The new at the movies with Scott & Phillps is being canceled. And according to wikepedia, Roger is in talks with Disney to introduce a new movie review show titled "Roger Ebert presents At the Movies. And this show is supposed to bring back thumbs up/thumbs down. So I'm glad he's coming back!

[balrog13571]

Computer voices are just plain awful to me usually but here they have a use when allowing a genius reviewer to speak through it. As he says it at least sounds a bit like him. I can never find a computer or camera that keeps my voice the way it sounds. Two thumbs up Roger.

[lopro091]

I juast want to put my finger between his lips and go b.b.b.b.b.b.b.b.b.

[burr1aj]

that's a horrible thing to say.

[lopro091]

@burr1aj your right.. But What is wrong here is that Don Knotts here stole the voice from KIT from Knight Rider and didnt even ask.. Now thats two thumbs up..

[lopro091]

lol

[dsneybuf]

It'll be great if this technology allows him to do audio commentaries again.

[dontleademsomuch]

close your mouth please roger. it's quite disconcerting.

[TheBlingblingbros]

A critic who lost his voice to cancer, now that's what I call ironic.

[JERRAD28]

at least looks happy

[48GMo24]

wow sounds pretty great

[pervertedmind]

what the fuck happened to him

[PostalTubeAlex]

an operation on his throat.

[thedancersstudio]

IDraw3G... You are one major piece of trash! YouTube does not need a loser like you expressing disgusting comments. Why don't you do everyone on here and especially your pathetic self a big favor and keep your unintelligent comments to yourself. No wonder you don't have any friends. Maybe you should do the world a favor and die! Atleast Roger Ebert did something with his life, unlike your sorry unwashed ass!

[8vans]

@iDraw3G cool

[Prolific85]

Thyroid cancer. My guess is the cancerous parts...

[ctkgod]

damn... i remember when i use to watch this guy and the other dude on tv with my mom when i was a kid.

[VCreepingDeathX]

Not to be mean but what happend

[elimcpheron]

I dont mind the voice but his mouth is creepy as hell

[PostTiTSorGTF0]

Roger Ebert just cause your a Cancer fag doesn't mean you have to be a Mac fag.

[vancecrofoot]

Search for: dog cheers up mentally challenged man

It's twisted but funny. I don't know what to think of it. lol

[DoyenOfDestruction]

Roger Ebert will be the victim of 4Chan and derp photos.

[Distinctforever]

Go Roger! You are an inspiration!

[UndergroundGrooves]

Needs more autotune.

[misfitdoll23]

who is the woman he's talking to?

[salleybetz]

That's his wife Chaz.

[archrobbaba]

;-(
