Here’s a clip of Billy West reading from a script of Back To the Future, performing the voices of Fry as Marty McFly and Professor Farnsworth as Doc Brown on Rob Paulsen’s podcast Talkin’ Toons.
Billy West is a National Treasure. If he doesn’t get an Olympic Nobel Prize Medal then humanity will have failed. As a species and a thought experiment.
In such an event, the appropriate response will be “I Don’t Want to Live on this Planet Anymore.”
My god is he talented.
Oh thanks a lot, cochrane, you’ve just reminded me how much I love and miss that show. Now I’m sad. Looks like I’ll be drinking beer and binge watching Futurama DVDs tonight.
There are some streams of Futurama episodes on YouTube that run 24/7. There are also streams of shows like the Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, and King of the Hill.
That was brilliant.
I like Billy West so much that I check out his work on imdb and track down the cartoons and commercials he voices. If I hadn’t checked, I wouldn’t know to unmute the TV when M&M commercials come on! He’s the voice of the red one.
And such an influence that I heard your post in the Professor’s voice!
I’m amazed he can go back and forth so easily (though I think he slipped up a couple of times in Fry’s voice).
The Twisted Toonz panels are literally the entire reason why I attend cons. If they have a panel I go. If not. I don’t. Friggin love those things.
He was great on the Howard Stern Show. Loved him in Larry Fine at Woodstock.
Ha-ha, Billy West… What a stupid phony made-up name.
