Edie McClurg
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 09:35 PM by Richardo
THAT'S who I'm hearing when Palin speaks.

Close your eyes and imagine Palin saying this line:

"Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."


It's dead on.

1. I hear Rosanne Barr.
If she talked like Edie McClurg, or even Frances McDormand in 'Fargo', I wouldn't mind. I love those accents. But she sounds like a cross between Rosanne Barr and Minnie Mouse.

2. So true!
I had never heard her voice before her convention speech. I turned to JeffR and said, "And you should vote for McCain, because he's a righteous dude!"

:rofl:

9. I love her bit part as the Car Rental clerk
in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles:


Car Rental Agent: Welcome to Marathon, may I help you?
Neal: Yes.
Car Rental Agent: How may I help you?
Neal: You can start by wiping that fucking dumb-ass smile off your rosey, fucking, cheeks! Then you can give me a fucking automobile: a fucking Datsun, a fucking Toyota, a fucking Mustang, a fucking Buick! Four fucking wheels and a seat!
Car Rental Agent: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.
Neal: And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there. And I really didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile in my fucking face. I want a fucking car RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
Car Rental Agent: May I see your rental agreement?
Neal: I threw it away.
Car Rental Agent: Oh boy.
Neal: Oh boy, what?
Car Rental Agent: You're fucked!



Someone make a graphic of Caribou Barbie saying "You're fucked!".

14. I just posted on another thread that her voice feels like someone is slapping my eardrums.
You could sharpen knives with that voice.

12. I immediately thought of the mom on "Bobby's World"
Who is voiced by none other than Edie McClurg.

13. Exactly
I've been trying to think of whose voice that was since Palin gave her little speech. Thanks for solving the mystery.
