The more I hear Brian Baumgartner talk, the more impressed I am by how consistent he was with the Kevin voice.

[@AKAalicecullen]

Right!, like I imagine it hurt his voice after so long but he kept goin

[@DarthAxolotl]

I'm seeing Kevin but I'm hearing a normal, respectable human

Brian is Kevin.

[@creed8712]

That must be like super difficult to get out of doing as an actor right? Like you’re taught not to look at the camera ever and then you do a show for a number of years where you can

[@TheStellaGaming]

Brian gives off "Uncle that will do literally anything with you and act like he's having a great time because he just likes spending time with you" vibes and I love it.

[@sherbetfarts]

This is the perfect description 💖

[@nicholehayden2779]

I love watching Babish in this format. His usual format with the voiceovers sound quite put together even when he’s making mistakes, but when ever he does collabs or remake videos, they’re so wonderfully chaotic and I just love them.

[@VictorMontel]

Weird how Brian himself can be even nicer than Kevin. Dude is awesome.

[@carly_0516]

Kevin wasn’t exactly mean. He was just really dumb.

[@VictorMontel]

@@carly_0516 I know. That's why I said "even nicer". Kevin was the nicest character on the whole show. Every one of the characters on the show usually either said or did some pretty uncool things. Kevin was probably the only one who wasn't ever mean to any of the other characters.

Is it just me, or is Andy becoming more and more chaotic by the minute in each episode and you can see it over the years too, totally here for it, but i had to mention I love the chaos and you can tell there is no script cause of it too

Ok so I introduced my mom to this channel and she loves it, and she had an idea for a binging with babish episode that I think would be really cool. There's this episode of Curious George where he buys a juicer and makes this FANTASTIC juice, it's like the best juice ever made, and it would be cool to see it made irl. Figured I might as well put this on the internet because maybe there's a chance of it happening.
