His voice is so deep and soothing.

[@edabakb]

It's weird listening to him because I can hear both Jerry and Cyril...it's trippy.

[@crazyjoedavola5430]

Same here....

Suppressing FIRE!

Chris Parnell is one of my favorite performers from SNL! Such a great voice and comedic actor!!

[@MsHunterRRHS]

The salt and pepper hair looks good on him. He could be Ben Mendelsohn's doppelganger.

[@Theonlymayz]

Dude right they should play badass gun running brothers in a show

[@TomAKAVeto]

Seeing him here is the first time I ever thought he resembled Ben Mandelsohn

[@mateamargo5261]

He has such an unproblematic vibe

[@jadepatrick7644]

His voice is so comforting. He seems to be a genuine person.

[@thisisshaun1]

i have always been a huge fan of chris parnell even on snl he was always great

[@ytdave354]

Loved him in Hot Rod too

[@mnchls]

also Anchorman!!!

[@nateblack8669]

Damn, Chris looks really good here. He looks slimmer.

[@gimmejr]

Dr Spaceman!!!

[@AlCasu1888]

Love rick and Morty in love with archer but imo dr spaceman had the funniest lines on 30rock.

[@gustavgnoettgen]

Human actor. I like it.

[@LouieColdcuts]

Chris Parnell... Underrated

[@hakim6158]

Very underrated. Would've been an absolute huge movie star had he started in the 60s and 70s.

[@godbluffvdgg]

Dr. Spaceman is the MAN!

[@mnchls]

Chris Parnell deserves stardom and also better interviewers. Tom and Fortune are constantly so lifeless and uninteresting throughout this series, and it's fairly obvious here.

[@LeFaisDoDo]

unitedstases it’s more cause of fortunes meaningless comments and non questions

[@johnschwarz5616]

@@LeFaisDoDo I agree, if Tom was by himself it would be much better. He's a fantastic guest on Rogan.

[@andybaldman]

It's because neither of them care about this show. This is just a paycheck and a stepping stone toward 'bigger things' for both of them. Neither of them have any passion for SiriusXM Radio(tm).

[@mnchls]

andybaldman - exactly, and it's doubly painful when interviews/platforms for actors and comedians like Parnell are so hard to come by in the first place.

[@TheDirtymikenation]

yeah anyone who say papa like that with that high ass voice you can tell its gonna be void of substance

[@hippocratesm.d.1543]

He is so underrated

[@xTheOxx]

Just rewatched Hot Rod. The explanation of his tattoo is still making me giggle as I'm typing this.

[@stevenewsom3269]

My favorite comedic film ever.

[@crazyjoedavola5430]

Hilarious movie....

[@DarKTsunG]

Chris Parnell is turning into Ben Mendelsohn

[@divefraggle]

Good call

[@JeremiahGreco]

1. I'd love to see him do a Mendelsohn impression with the lisp. 2. They need to be cast as brothers in a movie/series.

[@divefraggle]

Chris Parnell was great on SNL. Glad he found success with Rick and Morty.

[@faunaflage]

Lazy Sunday, wake up in the late afternoon. Call up Parnell just to see how he's doin'.

Hello, waddup Parn?

[@imheeyum9217]

Rick & Morty is hilarious....love this show!

[@harley_yelrah9429]

Honestly he’s in all my favorite animated shows

[@pavel672]

I love how he sounds really manly and really emasculated at the same time

[@mcna]

Chris Parnell's got that Eric Bogosian swag.

[@shahulhusman]

Love Chris.. He's Jerry but I hear cyril figus

[@r2dxhate]

There should be a universe where Jerry is smarter than our universes Rick

[@Wingedmagician]

I think the point is that Rick is the smartest in the multiverse. But maybe that Jerry can be smarter than Doofus Rick.

[@r2dxhate]

@@Wingedmagician If it's truly a multiverse, then there is a universe for every possibility. If there's a universe where people are chairs and chairs are people, then there should be a reality where Jerry is top dog. The multiverse thing really complicates his superiority. Like when he destroyed the citadel, there would be an infinite number of realities where Rick didn't destroy the citadel.

[@Wingedmagician]

r2dxhate I almost responded with another argument but I think we officially crossed the line into overthinking it lol

[@thefamouscommenter]

I think that actually happened in a comic? Not in a super science way, but he outsmarted our Rick and Morty

[@dimitreze]

that's a very Jerry thing to say... shut up, Jerry!!

[@tbz1551]

*Archer laughs and drops iPhone in glass of whiskey.

[@nateblack972]

It's the CHRONIC les of Narnia!😂 Loved Chris on SNL. Very happy he's got voice work on both Archer AND Rick and Morty. Two of my favorites!

[@Bludgeoned]

Not enough people bring up Merv the Perv when discussing his SNL legacy. That made me love Parnell and cemented him as one of my favorites

[@AdamSno]

Cool interview

[@rufugjuega5364]

They both seem so condescending to Parnell, he's part of a great generation of SNL comedy and probably the funniest character on Rick and Morty, a show that is a MONSTER and not some "show for stoner nephews" fucking Harmon writes that, how many Emmys does Papa or Fortune have? Respect Jerry.

[@daltongalloway]

Seems like you got a bit triggered there 😂

[@NWPaul72]

"Pass the Chronic- What!?!" Parnell needs to get back in the rap game.

I love all you guys!

Chris Parnell is a huge talent and a dynamite rapper too. But my man needs to crank his wardrobe game up a few notches and let his inner-STAR truly shine. It looks like he's wearing a 10 year old boys t-shirt that his Mom bought for him during the Back-To-School sale at Target. This dude needs to be rockin some sharp cut badass threads to match that deep baritone!!

It's funny. He's the voice of Jerry, and he's who really makes Jerry himself, but he's so unlike Jerry irl. He's likeable, successful, fun. Pretty much the opposite of Jerry lol.

Netflix pays KZbin for position.

Heeey! Who you calling a stoner nephew!

If you subscribe to fucking Netflix you shouldn't have to subscribe to Sirius to hear this Netflix podcast.

[@yoyoyodaboy]

I know the interviewers are good comedians, but their interviewing was so bad that I couldn’t stick it through to the end. And it’s such a waste too, bc Chris Parnell is so funny and has such an interesting career!

[@yoyoyodaboy]

I tried again, and made it through to the end. But this still felt like such a waste. Chris Parnell is so hilarious! But they totally undersold his achievements, and reacted so mutedly to his contributions to archer and Rick & Morty. Rick & Morty is practically a cultural phenomenon, and Chris plays a central character!!

[@TheDabblinMan]

“So who writes the show?”. Are you serious dude? Do some homework on your guest and let’s try and not just “wing it” next time.

[@jamesdearce5922]

That’s exactly what I though . . . Who are these lazy interviewers who can’t be bothered to do their homework for this interview. They are a Netflix show and they have to ask if Oswald is on Netflix? Who writes Rick and Morty? These douches haven’t heard of Dan and Justin, and they are “in the business”?

[@carywaltonjr.9671]

Rick a nd morty love Jerry

nest trixs watch the animal documentaries before letting your kids watch them
