I recently watched the MST3K version of Manos the Hands of Fate. For those who haven’t seen the movie, there’s a character named Torgo, who has really huge knees and moves like Joe Cocker with hands as shaky as Jello in an earthquake. At the end (a MSTie skit, not the end of Manos), there’s a bit with Torgo as a pizza delivery man. This led a friend and I to play a game about what would be bad jobs for Torgo to have.
Each job would be announced in Torgo’s shaky voice:
“Hello. My name is Torgo… I’ll be your waiter for the evening…”
“I’m Dr. Torgo… I’ll be performing the tonsilectomy today…”
Unless I’m mistaken, there’s a lot of MST3K fans around here (I’m hoping at least or this threads is gonna float in exactly the same manner as a bowling ball would float). Get to know some of us and maybe we can get a tape swap together (legal tape swap - not the ones available to buy from Rhino).
And just to help out with the coding, use the instead of < >.
Now I know this isn’t in Torgo’s voice, but it’s better this way:

And now Torgo is getting on his mark, ready to represent the USA in the 100 meter dash.

“I’m Torgo, and I’ll be giving you your pap smear”
“And taking the ice in the long program woman’s figure skating, skating to the love theme of Manos…Torgo!”
“I’m Trog, and where do you want the tattoo?”
Scribe’s “President Torgo” is my favorite so far, but this one cracked me up because I suddenly got the image of Torgo hovering over Dustin Hoffman asking, “Is it s-s-s-safe?”
How about:
“Good morning… This is Torgo c-c-c-coming at ya on KTGO radio… we’ve got a Rolling S-s-s-stones block coming up, but first… the Master’s in the studio to t-t-t-talk about his new book… Evil Made Easy”
I am Tor-go. I…super-vise the day-care cen-ter while the…Mas-ter is a-way. I hope you re-mem-bered to…bring your child’s sip-py cup, a bag of…Chee-r-ios, and an e-mer-gen-cy phone…num-ber…
