I'd do it when I was a kid. I thought it was useless, like a parlor trick or something 'cause no one ever looked up to see what the hell was going on. It's like, yeah, we know what you can do. - Good news, everyone. - You stupid idiot. - What's up, Doc? - What a doofus. [laughs] - Hi, "Vanity Fair." This is Billy West, me, and today, I'm going to be reviewing your impressions of my characters. Can't wait. I can't go through with it, Skeet. What if she says no or starts laughing or something? - Hi, my name is Doug Funnie. I just love running around with my friend Skeeter and my dog Porkchop. I really like Patty Mayonnaise. She's probably one of the prettiest girls in all the world. [Billy laughs] - That was really darn good. Bravo. Thank you for your bravery. Doug, as it was described to me originally, he was a 11-1/2 painfully shy tweener. This voice that you're doing sounds like he might be older, which to me is a perfectly fine idea for a character, for a voice for another character that doesn't look like Doug or someone else, but you did a really good job with it. And you know what? You had the somberness in your voice and your delivery and your performance. I would pitch it up higher, if it's possible. You're kind of like here. Well, hey, everybody. This is Doug. You know, but his voice was higher 'cause he was a young guy when I was doing him. He couldn't wait, you know, to go to the Honker Burger. And I got a crush on Patty Mayonnaise, too. And throw more acting into it. Don't be afraid to do anything. Don't be afraid to experiment. Be fearless. Ah, who's gonna notice if we mess up anyway. In five minutes, everybody's gonna be snoring. - Hey, what the? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh, brother. What a doofus. [laughs] You see, Doug? I told you. You can't dance. [laughs] What's going on here? Hey, get me up. You can't just leave me here. Come on! - Nicely done. That was really good. He had the pitch. He had Roger's pitch, which I could do a lot better if it was 30 years ago or so or whenever we did that, but he had the pointedness of Roger. I looked at the picture of Roger and he reminded me of a bully that used to antagonize me in high school. He would always bother me. He had pointy hair, you know, pointy nose, and he was always poking me in the shoulder, and his shoes were pointy. Everything about him was pointed, and eh! This performer had the voice in the right pitch and everything, and I think he was doing a good performance. You know, you can stop every now and then and take your moment. You don't have to Gatling gun through lines unless you're doing a tirade or something. But yeah, he's high energy, Roger. And I think you captured that. Good news, everyone. We were supposed to make a delivery to the planet Tweenis 12, but it's been completely destroyed. - Well, back to the old drawing board, I suppose, and find our own jobs and businesses. For me, I'll just go to the home, where an old bag of dust like me belongs. Good news, everyone. We've run out of food supply for the whole year. Oh well, time to eat Zoidberg. [Billy laughs] - That's really funny. He has the right confidence and he's not afraid to perform. But the thing is is you had the shake, the shaky voice at first of like an old man, but, but he's really old. I mean, old as the hills. You know, I'm looking around for that young idiot Fry. You know, don't be afraid to take your moment with words. I mean, that's how you draw people in. You don't rush through stuff. He, doing the professor, he began to sound like the guy that sits in front of a fire at his estate, and he's got a goblet of Chivas Regal, you know, leaning back on his laurels, and I've done quite a thing. I've done many things, and ask me about one of them, and [mumbles]. Look at me. I'm Dr. Zoidberg, homeowner. - I thought that you said that you had good news. Blah, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. That was my ink defense, ladies. [Billy laughs] - That guy's really good. He's got the spark. He plays with the character voices and he takes his moment. He did little pauses, and it's like, you got to milk that stuff. That's what makes it sound like a real person, rather than some, you know, cloying annoying, made-up cartoon voice. It makes it real. And he had the tonal quality that those characters have. He was hitting the right notes and he was hitting all the right beats. I thought it was great. What I would say to him about Zoidberg, I don't do his voice like with my hand over my mouth, but you're supposed to sound like that. I don't know. What am I doing here? Get me some cake. Zoidberg wants cake. Zoidberg could eat. If you try to imagine all that cool meat hanging off your face how you would sound. Just imagine it. You're all over the place. [mumbles] Oh, you pesky wabbit. I've got you now. - I know what you are thinking, Mr. Bunny Wabbit. You are thinking did old Elmer fire six shots or possibwy onwy five. [laughs] - That's really good. A for effort. Totally A for effort. He's fearless, you know what I mean? He had the tone in his voice, but maintaining it is the hard part. You know what? I think that was the wabbit. He sounded like he was from Boston. I don't know if he was or not, but there's a lot of guys from Boston that were like, aw, Cwist. I don't know. But, but he's got the spirit. He's definitely got the spirit, and good job. You were expecting maybe the Easter bunny. - Well, does he say what's up Doc, like this. Meh.
