GF Panel 9/6/15 - Tad Strange

Alex Hirsch from Gravity Falls at Amazing Houston Comic Con 2015

[@SDPines913]

You can really hear the Bill Cipher voice in Alex Hirsch

[@bereniceperez-flores794]

Right xD

[@cricketvoice3274]

Yup

*slow claps*

[@xX_Thaddeus_Xx]

Alex's Cecil Baldwin impression is uncannily accurate.

[@turquoisesnowflake4613]

Every one: Cecil don't do the thing Cecil: what every one watch me as I do the thing

[@moosekilzer8690]

Are we absolutely certain he is not Cecil Palmer? This seems to be a running theme between the two of them...

[@yeethittter1285]

Extremely in character for podcast Cecil

[@amandapanda5087]

​@@yeethittter1285 Very in character

[@oliver_I_hardly_know_her]

I find it hilarious how Cecil somehow managed to fuck with the entire gravity falls fandom. also tad isn’t secretly a demon, he’s secretly Cecil Palmer

[@spongeintheshoe]

With the entire fandom and Alex Hirsch himself at the same time.

[@EthalaRide]

Make him as much like Doctor Who or Jack Skelington as possible, *BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO*

[@friezacold5629]

Tad strange will forvever be scarred by this

[@endergeek236]

Like you haven't done worse.

[@AbbiXIII]

Tad Strange is secretly Cecil Palmer in disguise guys ;)

[@cheddacheese32]

Truth

[@amniamin22]

ssssHHHH don't let them know... he's hiding from the Secret Police and we can't blow his cover....

[@Echos.Art.Corner]

Alex: Cecil, don't do the thing. Cecil: TOO FREAKING LATE.

[@skythekiiler9600]

Tad Strange: "I love bread" Me: *screeching*

[@kayleesmith1268]

Looking for a snack? Try wheat, or a wheat by-product. Dinner? Wheat and/or its by-product. Trying to patch a leaky roof? We have just the thing for you, and we have its by-products.

[@fynnthefox9078]

@@kayleesmith1268 My Square Demon Tad Strange headcanon is that his favorite mortal food is wheat and it's by-products.

[@cleargreyskies]

When Alex says "I would never", he sounds exactly like Cecil!

[@DarthYodaJammin]

His Cecil Palmer impression is wonderful.

[@Prizzlesticks]

Damn. His Cecil Baldwin voice is on fleek.

[@Arthur2light]

Alex is funny.

[@monke3719]

I like how Alex just make his fan base sound just completely insane

[@doctorjay8673]

Its because we are.

[@knoqturne6811]

So he's now going to get hundreds of emails asking for 200 ft tall Pacifica in a year.

[@zalo_1]

and then the book of bill happened

[@Armin_Apologist]

Holy shit I love this man

[@cheshirecreeper3743]

It would make sense that Alex Hirsch would know about Welcome to Night Vale. But like so much in our fragile, human existence, nothing should make sense. SO THIS IS BECAUSE OF DESERT BLUFFS! :) Ready for the New Episode Today? BILL CIPHER!

[@mudfirethebengal10]

I was chatting with someone in both fandoms and I, being only in Nightvale, was shocked to hear about this connection. They explained the anticlimacticness of the character and I had to see. I watched a clip of him, then went here. I AM NOT EVEN A FAN. AND I AM LITERALLY SCREAMING AND FLAILING. WHAT THE FLIPPIDY DO-LOP IS THIS. WHAT WHAT WHAT WHY. This is freaking hilarious. Gosh guys. But, town being a tad strange and all, and with the hype, he's probably important now.

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

Sadly no He becomes a stone statue briefly at one point so thats cool

[@--CHARLIE--]

Lol no. Eveb that others reply about him turning to stone is omitting the fact that most of the town had been turned to stone at that point.

[@--CHARLIE--]

Lol no. Even that others reply about him turning to stone is omitting the fact that most of the town had been turned to stone at that point.

[@francescameyer7523]

Alex Hirsch sounded exactly like Bill Cipher (By the way I know he voices bill cipher)

[@TheOnydexGirl]

Oh, you mean like his normal regular voice sounds like him?

[@cricketvoice3274]

The Onydex yup it does

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

It's the mic. They applied a voice filter to make Alex's voice sound more echo-y to help with voicing Bill.

[@TalexxAltava]

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.

[@albertgrunnion2228]

this feels like a stand-up comedy bit

[@keith_theleaf]

Tad has only two scenes in the show and in those few seconds I already think he’s my favorite character

[@camarin713]

Well Alex broke the fans' trust with the McGucket Author scandal, so yeah any doubts and speculations from the fans is inevitable. #Tadisasquaredemon

[@Heroderp202]

Mcgugget thing was a joke

[@D_YellowMadness]

Weren't there fake screenshots of multiple characters being the author? If so, it's common sense that no one should've made any assumptions about a specific one being true.

[@macncheesetv9816]

Any other welcome to night vale fans?

[@heretohelp8026]

Mac'n CheeseTV meee

[@sallyroslin4634]

Yo

[@tylertichoc7330]

The real Tad Strange was the friends we made all along.😹

[@Sammykh87]

I remember going through the Gravity Falls tag and seeing ppl talking about a Tad Strange and I was all, wtf who is that . Then i asked people and then got up to speed and joined in on the hype. XD

[@thefvguy5648]

And then the episode came....

[@Sammykh87]

i was screeching with joy anyway XD

[@Sammykh87]

it was rediculas but def fun XD

[@kvemii]

I think that Alex Hirsch should be a comedian...

[@misstepprince]

i was actually there for this panel earlier today (yesterday?? idk lmao...) but seeing this in person was a great and hilarious experience!!

[@Bing_Bong_Banjo]

+ekadie Texas

[@thekeeperofpromise]

"IT CAME FROM YOU CRAZY PEOPLE", said Alex Hirsch with regards to the Bill Cipher wheel.

[@magmorix3883]

This is all a ruse-Tad Strange was pretending to be normal...we've fallen into his trap... XP just kidding

[@ThePreciseClimber]

OMG Tad Strange is Dipper's secret twin!

[@xKittyKat]

+ThePreciseClimber then he would be a triplet

[@TheOnydexGirl]

Isn't it Bill's? O.o

[@evelynellsworth6211]

this made me laugh so hard I'm still crying. I love Alex so much. And the fandom

[@StarBunny550]

I knew it, I freaking knew it!

[@TheOnydexGirl]

Hahaha!

[@grendelkhan3082]

Dude, that voice actor in a Mayoral scene is a hell of a reference.

[@onipot9639]

Oh Cecil

[@lemon_macaroon_1777]

I'm crying because this is beautiful.

[@generictimestamperstupendi9021]

It's official, Alex is pt Barnum reincarnated

[@cookiecutter5176]

I keep getting distracted by the lines in the background waving around like crazy lol

[@harrypotterfantng]

Alex has clearly got some beef with this. XD

[@soggytoast909]

Anyone else distracted by how the wall keeps shifting in the backround?

[@castielnovak9433]

YAAASSS NIGHT VALE

[@kezottle]

This is pure irony. A character who is the only normal person in the town but could be percieved as the opposite because his name is Tad Strange was thought to have possibly been one of the most important and meaningful characters by the fans when he was actually completely normal

[@jstarwars360]

Snoke Theories in a Nutshell

[@christheleavittman7080]

This is why I hardly if ever subscribe to fan theories of still airing shows or movies. The theories are either gonna be spot on in canon or galaxies off base.

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

Alex's vague, mysterious persona finally caught up with him...

[@lascivious376]

CECIL BALDWIN

[@lenamathiason925]

I had no idea he got the guy from Nightvale!

[@joythegeek4571]

This clip is the thing that got me into night vale

[@AnnieMay]

'i love bread'

[@birdlord4210]

I haven’t read book of bill yet, but there’s gonna be a page that’s just “Bill had a purple rectangle, brother named tad strange and he killed him.” and that’s just going to be the entire page

[@kryptos6478]

Alex officially called us crazy. And he’s right

[@5nightsatgengars830]

YOU ARE A LEGEND ALEX!!!😂😂

[@GayFilipino47]

It would have been funny if Benedict Cumberbatch voiced Tad Strange he would have played two guys with the same last name.

[@godofthecripples1237]

Okay, but the show is over, and we still don't know the true identity of Tad Strange and what his powers are, tf

[@SiRenfield]

Not gonna lie I revisited this after a friend I had a brief but embarrassing moment in our fandom that was pretty familiar in that we thought there was gonna be a new character and it even made its way onto Twitter and Tumblr…before we realized it was a pre-existing character but the text got caught off but in a way that looked like an actual name 😂 4:14 - 4:31 Also glad to know that BS was alive and well before it got to the Steven Universe Crits 🙃

[@mystery5793]

Wheat and wheat bi-products

GOSH DARNIT CECIL

[@lauriidoesstuff]

I wish my mom let me go to GF Comic Dubs and stuff.

[@hal-fling]

When he shouts he sounds like bill

[@sniperdude12a]

I watched the whole show after it aired and this is just hilarious to me

[@wrywry3502]

So tad strange is just a normal person?

[@TheCanderemy]

I'm pretty sure this is fake. Alex is just messing with us again

[@stroopwafelfalafel]

Yeah?

[@kinderpad4886]

The real queation is what dippers Internet History is ...

[@deantheory1272]

Tad is my favorite character

[@dinoahmad182]

Alex is really funny. XD Also, now I want to draw Tad Strange.

[@KARWARZ]

Gorlic Bredd

[@lavenderrose82]

Will Bill reform in the series. the reason I ask is, is Bill is similar to Discord from my little pony and Discord reforms but his character stays just as tricky and obnoxious.

[@esmeraldamejia887]

If Alex knew that we liked it why did he end the show

[@poopyscoopy575]

Because he was smart and he didn't want it to go on and on and be boring like Spongebobo

[@poopyscoopy575]

No it wasn't.

[@dumpy_frog]

Because of people like you

[@TheKawaiifan]

Tad Strange really took on a life on his own...

[@faded863]

I hope that tad strange is actully evil secrets

[@mr.context3872]

[@irissantana]

So, Alex predicted Dot Matrix

[@moxythecat5388]

0:15 i kinda heard Gideon there
