Just a Coupla Lab Mice Sittin' Around Talkin' / How to Talk Like Pinky And The Brain. Sort of.

My fellow voice actor and pal, the legendary Rob Paulsen, and I, met at Starbucks in Burbank to have a cup of coffee and just catch up. Rob had seen my "Talk Like Shatner" vid, and thought it was tremendous fun, and we thought it'd be a laugh to do another. So, wind blowing and bad lighting and all, I pulled out my camera-on-a-stick, and we decided to teach you, our dear viewers, how to talk like our characters, TV's Pinky and The Brain. Whom we played. On TV. Really. No, it really was us. We were the guys. Honest. I wouldn't make that up. (See, this is the downside of voice acting. Your voice can be like, everywhere. Literally, you're on TV and radio all day long, but nobody knows it's you. So, you're met with a certain amount of skepticism when you finally tell people what you do for a living, unless you break out, like, an entire one-man show's worth of voices from every cartoon show you ever did, like you're some performing chimpanzee. Except, of course, that chimpanzees can't talk, so screw that analogy, but you know what I mean. Kinda.) Anyway... here we are. Pinky and The Brain. How to talk like us. 'Cause we'll probably be dead by the time they decide to make the feature fim version or bring back the TV show. Enjoy.

Maurice Lamarche and Rob Paulsen they are a real legends .

[@MusicMushi]

I just had the weirdest vision of Pinky trying to beat up a starbucks employee LOL

[@Squirrel36]

Maurice, you and Rob are so handsome!

[@Iliekdeers]

I am a huge fan of Pinky and the brain and I a huge fan of Maurice Lamarche . Well done Pinky and the Brain you guy's are awesome .

[@FranMSK]

i'm completely freaking out. coolest two blokes on the world. poit!

[@Keeper1st]

And y'know, I just had an idea for a KZbin meme: Someday, we should try to get as many people as possible to post a video of themselves saying "narf"! Or maybe just a "Talk Like Pinky Day"...

[@riverbabbles]

Dude, you guys are officially my heroes. XD I can't believe I found this! It was so crazy hearing those voices come out of, well, real people. I loved that show, especially Pinky. Dunno if it counts as actually being you, but I do play Pinky in an online role-playing game. (Yeah I'm a nerd. ^^) Definitely not doing him justice, but it's fun. So please do not kill me as I'm not actually taking your job. 'Twas a pleasure seeing the original voice actors for these amazing characters! ^^

[@DrTacoSurgeonAtLaw]

I LOVE BOTH OF YOU Legends in voice acting, you two are! And aye, to the previous comments, more of these videos would be fantastic.

[@brockbaker]

This is probably the most epic lunch to ever occur.

[@JoJo-oc8zf]

A surprise for sure but a welcomed one

[@dorothyallspice1862]

Hello Brock!!

[@culpit]

You and Rob Paulsen are two of my all time favorite voice artists. :) I thought I would never hear the voices of Pinky and the Brain again. I also like both your works in Tak and the Power of Juju too. And I hope to hear more great characters from you in the future. :)

[@Phaota]

Great video, Maurice. A bit dark, but still highly enjoyable. I truly love all the characters you've brought to life over the years in your career, especially Brain. Of course, where would Brain be without the excellent Rob Paulsen. Narf! :)

[@williamsvoiceovers]

I was fortunate enough to meet Rob recently, and I would love to meet you too Maurice. I love the natural chemistry the two of you have together. Thanks for posting this!

[@brockbaker]

His name is Robert Paulson!

[@jonathanvo7991]

What are your thoughts on Jack Black & Rob Paulsen?

[@littlebluehat]

The amount of awesome in this video has left me speechless. I love these guys!

[@SmokefromAshes]

I love this video! It's so cool to see that you guys still get together occasionally even now that the show has been over for so long. You continue to be two of my favorite voice actors. Thanks for posting this and here's hoping for a Pinky and the Brain movie (or maybe a new show).

[@leadbones]

Thank you so much for posting this! You guys have immense talent, with only Billy West and Jess Harnell coming close in my mind. Keep sounding amazing!

[@hanakosan4404]

And now you two are back doing these characters again! Our prayers as been heard! :)

[@sgvpotter]

AWESOME!!!! Love these guys, and my kids will watch this show someday!!!

[@BrightBlueInk]

This was amazing! I grew up watching Pinky and the Brain, so it's so cool seeing you guys do those voices. I'm a huge fan of you both!

[@Iliekdeers]

Rob Paulsen and Maurice Lamarche your guys are awesome , I love you guys . Rob Paulsen and Maurice Lamarche does professional actors they are a legends . Pinky and the Brain is the most successful brilliant show that I ever seen and it's changes my life since I was watching this Show . Well done guys !

[@LadyDonegan]

Love you guys this is great you should do more videos Maurice

[@Lukos0036]

Great now I have William Shatner stuck in my head again. There's!........something on the wing....some....THING!...on the wing...

[@takineko]

OMGosh! Thanks for posting this! I haven't seen Rob on the web in ages! Teach that man to type!

[@Sonicgott]

I remember having lunch with Rob Paulsen in Pittsburgh, PA during the Anthrocon 2007 event. He and Maurice are tremendous people and incredible voice actors. I would love to do voice acting myself, but I've got a long way to go. Seeing these two side by side is just impressive. I love these guys.

[@MazAMaTaz]

The amount of hotness and win contained in this video is enough to make me explode. You guys are amazing. :D And I agree, TEACH ROB THE WAYS OF THE INTERNET.

[@MissMayorPumpkin]

demands a reunion!!!!XD you two rock!

[@ReesiePuffs64]

I've admired the work that both of you have done since I was little but I had no idea that you hung out together like friends! That's awesome!

[@EatRune]

I LOVE YOU GUYS! I'd also love to see Mo doing his Futurama or The Critic characters. Futurama's great and The Critic's really funny.

[@Linquenolloke]

This was such fun to watch. PatB is my favorite cartoon, and now I can see that you guys don't need a script to be funny. : )

[@HardyRStudios]

Mel Blanc, Daws Butler, and you know the other great legends that have sadly passed on would probably be proud of people like you and Rob.

[@mikebrowncomedy]

Amazing stuff gentlemen! Thanks so much for doing this. Please Maurice! Continue these impromptu videos!

[@RoversMaster]

I think this is the first time I've ever seen the actual voice actors want the show back. It's nice. :) Especially since these guys aren't out of a job without it.

[@waylont23]

This is an awesome video, keep them coming Moe!

[@MortenEng]

You and Rob Paulsen ROCKS! :D You both are 2 of my coolest heroes ever.

[@stsars13]

Epic..brings back memories of me watching that show non-stop *sniff*

[@VaultGhoul]

GLEEE! I was afraid you weren't going to make more videos but you did! I es so happy!

[@Arrowatch]

I recognized Rob Paulsens regular speaking voice, he did some of the lab guys in the pinky and the brain episodes, along with quite a few other similar characters. Amazing. Honestly, you guys are more then the voices. You change lines into dialogue, into natural flowing characterization. So, they can't really have new voice actors play the parts (unless those actors do you guys doing pink/brain, at which point we start some kind of circular blackhole of logic...)

[@BenjaminWirtz]

Same here. I've essentially got Pinky down but can't quite do a convincing Brain, I am working on my Shatner though.

[@ladyspookums]

The only thing that would have made this better, would have been you two singing the "Dear Little Flo" song.

[@Steffu]

Always fun to meet up and have a good few laughs LMAO love you guys

[@mywootgarden]

thanks for posting!! great to see you guys on camrea!!!!!

[@MerSorax2007]

Rob Paulsen, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

[@TheDoodlibop]

I was feeling all kinds of nostalgia looking for PatB clips, and I stumble upon this gem. HI YOU GUYS!!!

[@unlvcrjchick]

Just have one word to describe this video: CLASSIC!

[@LordStickMax]

he was also on TMNT

[@richj683]

Words just can not describe how cool it would of been to be in that Starbucks at that moment.

[@animeraingirl]

oh goodness I love you guys so much! Rob did the voice of Carl???? I did not know that....I love Carl more now. :) I would love to make new episodes, but I would have absolutely no idea where to start.....and I'm just a 16 year old.

[@timpokerboy]

It's always good to see two old friends just shooting the shit!

[@AlexM112973]

Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon in order to do the Brain's voice....got it! :)

[@Xtos1989]

his name is Robert Paulsen....these guys bring back memories

[@sentq]

Rob Paulsen rules.. best voice actor ever

[@MegaMariofan1]

i couldn't stop laughing and lol noo rob dont kill any of us! we can't take your job, you're too much better than us

[@everlasting678]

these guys are so funny xD!!!!! i would of loved to be at Starbucks then!!!!!!

[@KaylaYakushi]

I love you guys...

[@sshelle]

Mo and Rob, I'm looking to seeing you guys at Mark Evanier's V.O. panels again this year. Oh, Rob, remember these's NO PARKING available in San Diego during Comic-Con. ;^}

[@Keeper1st]

Nice to see you guys. I actually do have to try to talk like the Brain soon (which I know is a stretch for a scrawny fellow like me), as I want to re-create that dialog in You Said a Mouseful that Gordon took from an email conversation with me but they decided to have you guys change it in ADR. In lieu of the original recording, I want to at least do my own voice speaking the original lines over the animation. One of these days! I just know my Brain will be horrible.

[@PonderingInsanity]

I'm working on my cockney accent, but can't get my voice low enough to sound even remotely like Brain. I'm not so good at voice acting...more so just drawing the cartoons. XD Rob and Maurice are amazingly gifted at what they do.

[@SeventhEve]

Oh, God. Don't even tease me. If they made new Pinky & the Brains, I'd plotz. (Without Elmira, please!)

[@aLaMode298]

Too coool!!!! :D

[@Cozmosus]

I was able to do Pinky before I came to this video. I was wondering how Maurice does Brain. I can never get the right pitch.

[@Quiltfish]

About 2 minutes after the video ended, I stopped smiling and laughing quietly and realized I'm no closer to knowing how imitate Pinky or the Brain. It was funny. xD

[@doggans]

Next, you should do "How To Talk Like Don Adams"!

[@youtert]

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH the french

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

John de Lancie once auditioned for the Brain? Interesting!!!

[@HimeRoseChibiChan]

Now he's Discord!

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

HimeRoseChibiChan I'm wondering what if he actually got to be the voice of the Brain, as well as keeping all of his other roles?

[@Sekimeki100]

HimeRoseChibiChan they want help,they know John de Lancie well solution and the best way to get ther jobs back and to take over the world is Mlp fim as much as i see mlp took over the world all ready the internet world plus watch mlp version of pinky and the brain opening its by far the best combination opening

[@Sekimeki100]

Sekimeki100 or they can be in adventure time and do or talk some crazy sh.t

[@BIGLYRIK]

hey whats up its frank we met at the salon i took your advice im taking another class with huck i didnt even realise your arsnal of voices is so deep i hope to one day be as diverse

[@alansmisclass]

Hokey smokes...they even LOOK like Brain and Pinky.

[@FireLordJohn3191]

I don't know about you guys, I want to hear Q as the Brain.

[@hergrace]

Narf! Indeed. My 12-yr-old's response: that was the best show ever! Why did they ever cancel it? (referring to both P&tB and the entirety of Animaniacs, of course. I have raised him well.

[@takineko]

Agreed!

[@takineko]

PS) You ever catch Paul Rugg's videos? He uploads them to his blog, but some of them are on his youtube page. Screen name: boxtops76

[@KaraDennison]

Well, since you brought it up, who are your favourite Pythons?

[@BenjaminWirtz]

Pinky's voice changed slightly as the show went on it seemed to get higher.

[@Commander30]

Ha ha, you guys are awesome! :D But didn't you get the memo? Starbucks is trying to take over the world, so you were supporting your competition! That is, unless you're in cahoots with Starbucks. ...I KNEW it.

[@BigBananaBuddy]

His name was Robert Paulsen.

[@Ozzman500]

Hey Mo, has the frequency of people recognizing you or Rob on the street (or at a Starbucks) increased since you started attending conventions as a guest? Thanks for posting this video! I appreciate it greatly!

[@Rtkat3]

Hey Maurice, if you plan on creating your official website, would you have your webisodes that you contributed to KZbin on it?

[@aluminum77]

REPUGNANT!!!!! lol

[@takineko]

Your 12 year old is awesome.

[@tagjim]

NAAAAARRRRF!!!

[@okbye9]

Q would have been an awesome Brain!

[@mrsuns10]

Morbo!

[@tiff0795]

I want to make new epsiodes! honestly, if I could I would in a heartbeat, bring back Pinky and the Brain and Animaniacs. I have never seen Pinky and the Brain, but just to make you and a lot of other people happy. But Alas, I'm only 15

[@marvindefudd]

Pinky is so mean; He wants to beat up the Starbucks girl and threatens to kill those that can mimic him. Maurice: Rob (Paulsen) can do a Shatner impression, what does it sound like?

[@warmm0nkey]

wait... his name is Robert Paulson?

[@Ozzman500]

Hey Mo, who was the cameraman?

[@srf1984]

Not stupid, FREAKING ALSOME

[@maurice493]

Cleese. Followed very, very closely by Chapman, Palin, Idle, Jones, and Gilliam. In no particular order. Other than that, the others I don't much care for...

[@zonfarentertainment]

NAAAARF

[@brutusvannightmare7201]

maurice lamarche is a voice actor not a film actor though

[@SeoulMan]

They have their work cut out for them.

[@04cutie4life]

Flint isn't that bad lol
