MNFTIU

ALSO, WHEN DAVID REES briefly brought the magic of INTERNET to Internetless Hills last week, he shared with me this...

IMPORTANT MOVING DOCUMENT

(Begin quoted animation)



(End quoted animation)

THE FIRST PERSON TO correctly identify the voice of the standing up guy gets a free copy of my book when it is published.

I WILL ALSO THROW IN A FREE COPY of David's new forthcoming omnibus that I have code named GET YOUR BEST ON.

And I have to actually pay for that book. SO YOU KNOW IT'S ON.

That is all.

wild 'I haven't had any coffee yet' guess: Jack Black?

Sounds like Robert Smigel to me.

Todd said...

No, wait! I had him confused with one of the other guys from Conan! Jon Glaser, I think his name is.

Will said...

Dang, you're right. This is what I get for showering instead of obsessively checking the internet first thing every morning.

Will said...

Unless second guesses don't count! Do second guesses not count? In which case it's Jon Glaser. Come onnnnnnnnnn loophole!

john hodgman, i tried to post this before, but i don't think it took. now, have you discovered the CAPS LOCK setting on the iphone? go to settings > general > keyboard and then turn "enable caps lock" to on. then, when you're typing, just tap the up arrow twice and your caps? locked.

if you did not know this already, i think this information will be useful to you.

The voice actors are(or at least Google tells me they are)Jon Glaser and Anthony Laurent for anyone who wanted to know both.

That was awesome!

You people dissapoint me. Of COURSE it's Jon Glaser. Jon Glaser, with credits too vast to number. Brilliant writer, wonderful stand-up, and gifted musician. (see conan, invite them up, and detroit octane, respectively.) I always am excited when i discover glaser has worked on a project - when i first saw this one a few days ago, about halfway through, i literally stood up, pointed at the screen, and said "That's Jon Glaser!" Everyone else in the room didn't care and were concerned for my well-being. That's OK, i'm glad i have people who love me. But really. Jon Glaser. God dammit.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that IMDB gets things wrong sometimes. Clearly the standing-up guy is Vilanch.

christopher said...

also, the unsung treasure trove of comedy that none of you people ever watched: Cheap Seats. Beamy was the best.

The funny thing is that even after several people had said it was Jon Glaser my brain simply refused to hear him in this animation. My ears are stubborn.
