Harvey Fierstein. It’s like he can’t breathe while he talks, plus there’s gravel in his mouth, plus that accent. And for some bizarre reason some people actually want to hear the man sing. ---

Fran Drescher’s voice makes me want to push tenpenny nails into my ears. Please Og tell me that no one really talks like that. ---

Gotta go with Sarah Palin. Imagine hearing that voice for eternity. ---

The most annoying voice belonged to Joe DeRita. Satan sounds like Dean Martin. ---

Why are there so many Jews on this list (Gottfried, Sandler, Drescher, Rubens, Fierstein, etc.)? I reckon it’s 'cause in American entertainment, there’s a popular comedic stereotype of the whiny Jew from the Northeastern US (NY, Jersey, etc.), aka, Land Of Gratingly Ugly Obnoxious Yankee Accents. Along these lines, I’ma have to go with Woody Allen. A Yankee, a Jew, and one damned annoying voice. (And a baby raper, but that’s neither here nor there.) ---

Gilbert Gottfried reading the content of **Kanicbird** ’s posts. That’s what I imagine Satan sounds like. ---

I was coming here to post [Burton “Buddy” Kallick](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYgBl-sXpuM#t=0m32s), but then I saw that one of the choices was Rachael Ray, and Rachael Ray _clearly_ both has the devil’s voice and _is_ Satan incarnate. So her. ---

I voted for Bobcat because I think it would bother me marginally more than Sarah Palin. Other candidates, if only for me, would include Clay Aiken (when he’s not singing), Nancy Grace (especially when she’s on a holier than thou rant), Melanie Griffith (“meow meow meow Mr. Rogers”), Pauly Shore (when I learned his mother owned comedy clubs it explained so much) and Jay Leno (especially when he repeats the punchline 5 times in that nasal whine). Emo Philips & Judy Tenuta would be on the list except that like Gilbert Gottfried they’re in character; I’m still thankful they didn’t breed. Carrot Top’s voice doesn’t bother me so much but I’d definitely cast him as the face and body of Satan. (Except Satan is supposed to be beautiful isn’t he? A demon then.) ---
