The Brain declares today 'International Talk Like William Shatner Day!' - P.S. Happy B-Day Shat!
Hey folks, Harry here... I don't know about you, but I have an eternal love for Maurice LaMarche due to his voice work as THE BRAIN from PINKY AND THE BRAIN. So when I received an email telling me that The Brain was declaring this date "3-22" forever to be INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE WILLIAM SHATNER day... including his expert advice on how to Talk like William Shatner... well... I had to share. Only 192 people had seen his podcast - and that number needs to go up significantly. I mean... on June 4th you can own Kirk's Captain chair for your very own! And here we have one of the great voice talents training you to become Shatner! AND there's a new Star Trek franchise coming out!!! So jump on this wagon before the mainstream world knows about this holiday - Wear a gold tunic today part your hair differently... make out with weird alien chicks cuz... no matter where in this world you are... and especially if you're on the International Space Station... TODAY is forever deemed INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE WILLIAM SHATNER DAY!

"WILL-eum SHAT-nerrrr!!"
-
If I had to choose.
-
...was relevant? Neither do I.
-
actually hes brilliant, and hes playing up the campyness, a master showman like a cross with Adam West and PT Barnum. Boldly go Mister Shatner!
-
Shatner got a casting couch with Locklear when she was foxxy
-
The Shat is an egotistical, big headed, narcissistic opinionated twat........ but he STILL....kicks ass and is legend.
-
but you can't...unwatch it!"
-
sigh.
-
Cool news? Really?
But still far better than 'Get My Breasts Out For Attention Girl' I guess! -
This is awesome. Happy Birthday, William Shatner.
-
Morbo and Calculon from Futurama, by the way. (Not to mention virtually every announcer/narrator part on that show). I just mentioned it because it seems some of you are having trouble placing him.
-
TNG and DS9 FTW!!!
-
Listening...to all...those William Shatner...records...must be...slowing down...my brain. I meant..............Kif.
-
He must have done all those Futurama commentaries in character, as he sounded NOTHING like that.
-
aren't that hot. Although I reckon most voice actors stumble across the voices for characters by doing bad impressions. You can still detect a hint of Walter Matthau in Homer's voice.
-
KICK. YOUR. FUCKING. ASS. Whatdontyou....FUCK-ing....und er-STAND?
Do. you. wantmeto. TRASH? Your FUCKING LIGHTS? -
This is going to make my job interview today totally awkward. Oh wait..nevermind. I just won't talk like Shatman. Happy Birthday anyway Captain Kirk.
-
They don't make them like they used to. A terrible actor living off only his ridiculous charisma, and doing it so well. Danny Crane!
-
I'll come followin' ya! http://tinyurl.com/6jd9dy

...a talk like...Christian...Bale as Batman...day? Denny Crane.

SHATNER IS CANADA'S SECRET WEAPON AGAINST THE USA!!!FACT!!!
by thefuckingcreepythinman
Fuck with the Great White North and we activate the instrument of your doom!!!
-
...with William Shatner doing "Little Drummer Boy". So I guess this was the guy who did the voice. Sweet."COME...they told the duck. Purumpupupum. Pu-RUM-pu-pu-pu-pu-PUM. Rupupupum. Pu-pum."
-
Seriously, it cant get any better to share a birthday with a man who has see more female action than hugh heffner's bedroom, battled more bad guys and saved the universe than I've had hot dinners! ...humbling...
-
I think there's a mind cloud between how he really speaks and what the comedy version of Shatener is. It's not always that over the top. A version of his voice was built years ago and has gotten to the point where I think even the man himself parodies it (*see the song "Common People").
-
WTF is up with "the Beast?" Seriously, I went to see "Miss March" and a dude behind me kept saying "Tucker's a Beast." I didn't want to ask during the movie, but it seemed like it was a meme the guy was trying to spread like an STD.
-
Urban Dictionary FTW!
Beast=the best. -
A big dork greeting to you, pal! Have fun, stay safe! :)
-
just watch his star trek stand up comedy in youtube.
-
I am proud to share this day with him. Though he is the older one of course.
-
Does that count?
-
I,,,guess I,,will talk like him,,,,today!
-
barely related ad placement ftw!
-
Funny video though.
-
I don't know? I know I've been using that term for many a year, where was the guy from do you know? It can be used as a compliment as above, or as a way of describing Gary Glitter, also with the cockney twist as in "shit that Michael Jackson is a Walls Feast"
-
PREFLIGHT!
-
"Windmills do not work that way!!!! Goodnight!!"
-
I'm not kidding, I've been advocating this for a couple years now on other boards... mostly fark.com
this is great! -
YYOU- ! ate .. ALL- the GLAZED-! ones.
-
I'm going to watch "Impulse" today in honor of the Shat.

SHATNER SHATNER SHATNER SHATNER!!!!!!!!!
And He could still beat the living shit out of most of you emo punks!! -
The best part for me was hearing about how Shatner is apparently an asshole at taking direction. I've had two different friends in the industry who have crossed paths with the Shat and they both said he was insanely egotistical...far more than even the parodies would have you believe. Now Mr. Lamarche...what shall we do tomorrow?
-
No matter the amount of fucking up the ass JJ Abrams does to Star Trek.
-
I still laugh at the way Shatner pronounced a parish in Louisiana. The parish is Ouachita (pronounced wash uh taw) and apparently they went out of their way to let him know how to say it. So what did he end up saying?
"The 'oh-a-cheetah' deputies sprang into action!" -
This would've been much better than what we got: http://tinyurl.com/cduyfv

I love you. Maurice, but that sucked. I blame allergies.
by snake foreskin
Or a cold. He was simply not Shatner in that clip. Perhaps because he was trying not to wreck on the 405. A Mulligan is in order!

Yes, he's too fat for that car, but my God is he talented. He should be driven around on a rickshaw, eating grapes from the bosoms of loose women. This is a class of man we don't deserve. All Hail LaMarche!
