Just a Coupla Lab Mice Sittin' Around Talkin' / How to Talk Like Pinky And The Brain. Sort of.

My fellow voice actor and pal, the legendary Rob Paulsen, and I, met at Starbucks in Burbank to have a cup of coffee and just catch up. Rob had seen my "Talk Like Shatner" vid, and thought it was tremendous fun, and we thought it'd be a laugh to do another. So, wind blowing and bad lighting and all, I pulled out my camera-on-a-stick, and we decided to teach you, our dear viewers, how to talk like our characters, TV's Pinky and The Brain. Whom we played. On TV. Really. No, it really was us. We were the guys. Honest. I wouldn't make that up. (See, this is the downside of voice acting. Your voice can be like, everywhere. Literally, you're on TV and radio all day long, but nobody knows it's you. So, you're met with a certain amount of skepticism when you finally tell people what you do for a living, unless you break out, like, an entire one-man show's worth of voices from every cartoon show you ever did, like you're some performing chimpanzee. Except, of course, that chimpanzees can't talk, so screw that analogy, but you know what I mean. Kinda.) Anyway... here we are. Pinky and The Brain. How to talk like us. 'Cause we'll probably be dead by the time they decide to make the feature fim version or bring back the TV show. Enjoy.

Voice actors are just awesome.

Narf! Indeed. My 12-yr-old's response: that was the best show ever! Why did they ever cancel it? (referring to both P&tB and the entirety of Animaniacs, of course. I have raised him well.

My 4 year old little sister loves Pinky and the Brain! (thanks to me!) I walked past her room and saw her playing with her toys singing, "da pinky and da bwain", and I've heard her say "narf" and "zort" mid sentence, I don't know HOW many times. :)

What I love MOST though is if I ask her, "Gee, Brain what are we gonna do tonight?" her reponse: "Twy to take ova da world".

My voice of the Brain sounds excact, but whenever I do Pinky I sound half-like him.

You guys are so talented! After watching shows like Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain, I've decided to give voice acting a shot (I want to go into acting as well, so I guess I'll find out what pays the bills first!) thank you for posting this!

[leadbones]

Thank you so much for posting this! You guys have immense talent, with only Billy West and Jess Harnell coming close in my mind. Keep sounding amazing!

THIS IS SO MUCH *AWESOME*, SO EPiC, I CAN'T EVEN.. XD

Voice actors are SO lucky, they have THE most FUN talent EVER, lmao.. ;P

I still LOVE Pinky's voice, hee.. ❤

[SSdetectiveagency]

I just had the weirdest vision of Pinky trying to beat up a starbucks employee LOL

[marvindefudd]

Pinky is so mean; He wants to beat up the Starbucks girl and threatens to kill those that can mimic him. Maurice: Rob (Paulsen) can do a Shatner impression, what does it sound like?
