  • Mel actually sounds pretty good.

  • God bless Mel. He would later write that he got more requests for autographs as a result of that one commercial airing, than he had in the four decades before that he had been working in Los Angeles -- and he made a point of never refusing a request for one, unless most of the baloneys and battle axes that populate Hollywood and Vine today.

  • @alanr4447a He never said that he did. he was just saying that, to many as they saw him, they could've cared less as to what he really did.

    Also, he actually did voice Elmer (after Bryan's death, as well as, on occasion, when Bryan was unavailable...)

  • "...they don't care if I'm Elmer Fudd." That was SO misleading! (He did not voice Elmer Fudd; Arthur Q. Bryan did.) With all the kudos he genuinely deserved for his Warners Bros cartoon voice work, why did he have to effectively steal credit for Elmer Fudd as well?

  • @potsdam28 in an interview Mel once said something similiar to that. He said that his real voice sounds the most like sylvester, just without the lisp

  • I wrote and got his autograph on a color photo of him sitting at his desk with all the Warner Brothers cartoons gathered around. I recall telling him how he had helped me to read as a very small child. At that time, the late Forties, Capitol Records put out 78rpm albums for children, using Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, etc. These albums had picture books attached where you would follow along with the record, turning the page everytime the character made a sound. Again, thanks Mel.

  • This ad debuted in 1971.

  • You can hear his "Barney Rubble" voice at the beginning of the commercial.

    Mel was the best.

    And will always be the best.

    No one even comes close to him in voice over talent.

  • That's because he would just talk in his own voice and add a lisp for Sylvester.

  • I haven't seen that one since I was a kid,thanks.

  • His natural voice sounds similar to Sylvester minus the lisp
