All his characters sound like coach mcguirk.

Likely better to sound like Bob than Archer. I enjoy Archer, the show, but the character is who he is.

Ironically I couldn’t watch Bobs Burgers because all I could hear was Archer.

I loved that cross over episode.

I'm also probably gonna do a spa weekend.

Between work and being a stepdad

to Gene and Louise and, uh, you know...

Anyway, I'm just burned out.

So take care, I'll call after I solve this mystery

or whatever.

Oh. And I also forgot to tell you guys,

the health inspector's coming at 8:00 a.m.

so you, uh, better break out the purple stuff.

Lots of people hear Coach.

Brandon, don't ever get a tattoo. You know what that is? That is the cow from that cheese I really like.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it took me a while to get past that.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I can't watch Archer for the reverse reason, lol.

[–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

This guy?

His voice is the same on both, literally just his normal voice 😂

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's the joke. He's just bullshitting, because that's what he does. It's great. Listen to any of his commentarys and he comes up with crazy stuff that you believe for a second every time.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

I assumed he meant his speech patterns rather than his voice, but bullshitting seems likely as well XD

Ok, you can rub them.

Better break out the purple stuff

But, Bobby...
