Pamela Adlon (Bobby from 'King of the Hill') Improvises 8 New Cartoon Voices | Vanity Fair

[@Yourlibrarian]

I’m so glad voice actors are getting more and more recognition.

@bobloblaw4life I mean Mark Hamill and Pamela are legit actors. I loved her in Californication.

This is a throwback to the 90s but I just realized she's the voice behind pajama sam.

[@Blossom44100]

I love her Pajama Sam voice!!

[@cuppycakesrawrable]

OH YEAH THE BEAR VOICE WAS VERY PAJAMA SAM. This takes me back.

[@Terf1988]

everyone loves Sam!

[@Shockzone1495]

Pajama Sam 😭 Man I miss my childhood

[@thefakeisaiah]

I’d watch a version of The Voice where it’s just character voice actors competing to be in the next great cartoon

[@scottsmith8162]

Two Spirit yeah that would be sick.

[@Squishy876]

Great idea!

[@krismilko]

Omg that is genius! Copyright that idea!

[@Jpizzo1995]

definitely

[@poogedys8505]

I so love that raspy, tomboyish quality of her voice acting along with those of other badass voice queens like Daily, Strong, and Fahn (formerly Charles). Cree Summer's (who is also forever awesome) voice is sort of like that as well sometimes.

[@MokaDaRoka]

All I hear is a more energetic and feminine Bobby hill

[@1dollardrew]

My thoughts exactly

[@John-X]

Her voice is really scratchy so it all sounds the same lol. That's okay though.

[@tugger]

Yeah cognitive bias. If you met her on a chance occurance like it would never occur to you

[@allykayyy2683]

Pretty much XD except the one adult female voice. That wasn't bobby at all. The rest either sound like Bobby or an impression Bobby tried to do :p

[@1805movie]

I can totally picture her voicing Calvin from _Calvin and Hobbes_ .

[@JCM-x84]

Omg that's perfect. Who would be Hobbes though?

[@StreetHierarchy]

...Stephen Root? Toby Huss?

[@dotsydude]

ragemishima Samuel L Jackson

[@SuperSpindasher1991]

If only the creator were up for an animated Calvin and Hobbes

[@Andythedrew1]

I imagine Hobbes’ voice as a sassier version of Winnie the Pooh. Or maybe a combination of Pooh and Tigger

[@cs-zz7jd]

After bearing witness of each improv of 8 random characters: "*Sighes*, That boy ain't right". lol.

[@christopher2327]

Her show Better Things on FX, which she co-writes, acts, directs and produces, is one of the best shows on television right now.

[@chase_h.01]

A very underrated character but, she's also Pajama Sam. I think her Bobby Hill voice would be perfect for Calvin if they ever made a Calvin and Hobbes movie

[@goldbyrd3667]

Wtf?? I didn't even realize she was pajama Sam omg

[@FrankieBonsignoreMusic]

YES

[@kanegarvey3188]

Immediately starts off with Clark Peters voice. "Hnnnnnk. Hey Bobby"

[@lisalee6927]

Everyone should watch better things!! She stars in it and is amazing

[@candicehoneycutt4318]

It's such a great show tbh. I'd also suggest listening to her and April Winchell on Rob Paulsen's podcast; that was genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever heard 😂

[@jaimereynolds258]

I love her in the show Louie

[@JoseVargas-mn9zj]

Better Things is great. Just started watching Season 4 now. Such a refreshing show.

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

That show was a great one, but... American Dragon Jake Long and The Replacements tops them all in terms of my favorite ABC/Disney cartoons.

[@huskyswordsman95]

We need King of the Hill back. There's a serious lack of comedy in the world right now. King of the Hill can bring its take on world issues like it did so long ago. Hope Mike Judge and Fox can make a deal.

[@ashleyshim2078]

Or any other network too

[@Kicksno1fan]

I would agree, but the last few seasons were nowhere near as good as all the other ones. the quality went down so I assume the same would happen if they were to reboot it.

[@jordoncrump91]

It would be too forced to bring that back. The original came off as natural and relatable. If they were to revive it, it wouldn't be great. All we would feel is nostalgia for the original. I think it would be a major let down. What we really want is the original to be new again; to see it for the first time (but nowadays with modern references). It wouldn't happen today with all the hoops they'd have to jump through to avoid offending anyone in today's time. This is my opinion. On another note, Disney bought Fox for anyone who didn't know. I don't know what that means for King of the Hill, but I know Disney likes to push their own properties. I'm probably wrong here, but the only Fox show I could find on the Disney+ app was The Simpsons. Anyways, if they do revive the show, they'd have to come back with that natural magic. It can't come off as, "Hey everyone, we're having a King of the Hill reunion. Please watch it." I think it would be better as a one time thing like a King of the Hill movie or something. That might actually be pretty cool :D But I don't think they could successfully recreate the magic bonds to air a very long running series.

[@janet6023]

There in talks now for it to be revived. And they say it's inevitable because negotiations are now taking place.

[@snizzlepretzal]

King of the Hill is on Hulu.

[@KNOTTYBUDS]

Five seconds into the first voice, and it's SPOT ON.

[@ElijahRuelas]

1.) Bobby Hill tired 2.) Bobby Hill with a cold 3.) Bobby Hill on estrogen 4.) Bobby Hill having drug withdrawals 5.) Bobby Hill transitioning 6.) Bobby Hill hits puberty 7.) Bobby Hill high 8.) Bobby Hill talking while stretching in the morning

[@keff5984]

God this woman is so awesome lol wish she was like my aunt or something

Haha that would be awesome, she’d be that aunt that lives in an apartment downtown and always throws crazy parties

I used to manage a little gift store in the West village. She was a regular customer. Always super nice. Very friendly person. I had no idea she was behind the voice of a character on one of my all time favorite shows until I recognized her name in the credits one day. I’d been talking to her as a customer for almost a year at that point then all of a sudden...”what?! She’s bobby Hill?! Bugged me out.

[@tmage23]

Most child characters in animation are voiced by women.

[@candicehoneycutt4318]

Very few little cartoon boys are voiced by real kids. It's easier to cast an adult woman because their voices don't change over time and they won't need to be recast. Lincoln from the Loud House has had like four different boys voicing him

[@N75911_]

Imagine my mind when Timmy Turner turned out to be a milf

[@AshaNimo1]

Why tf is this still a surprise to some people? Literally half of boy characters in old cartoons are voiced by women. E.g. Dexter, Ben 10, Bart, Millhouse, Timmy Turner etc. You'd be pretty stupid if you thought these were voiced by men or even boys lol
