I have heard this is pretty good but all the links I find on google for it are dead. Are there any good links for it? ---

Do yourself a favor and buy The Critic DVD set. That quote, while one of their better moments, is pretty typical of the humor there. ---

The Critic bit is classic. This stuff is weird, but it’s amusing. The thing I don’t get is why imitations of Orson Welles (as much as I like Maurice LaMarche) never sound the least bit like him. Does anyone have a clue why that is? ---

Which episode of “The Critic” was that pea commercial spoof on? ---

> [@DrMemory](#): > > Marley…Are you counting “The Brain”, of _Pinky and the Brain_ ? 🙂 That AND his guest spots as Orson Welles on The Critic. I don’t know which episodes, but there were at least two Orson Welles commercial jokes on that show. The one with the fish sticks is from the episode where Jay’s parents get stuck on the desert island. Not sure about the peas. ---

I also believe Maurice LaMarche was the voice of Orson Welles in the movie **Ed Wood**.
