Funny Voiceover Stuff

First up, John Hodgman (the guy who plays “PC” on those Apple commercials), with an attack ad on his best friend and touring partner, Jonathan Coulton. I have read so many political ads worded just this way…I couldn’t resist sharing it. It’s excerpted from The Sound of Young America, an excellent weekly podcast hosted by Jesse Thorn (“America’s Radio Sweetheart”). Visit the podcast site at MaximumFun.org (and subscribe!).

This is a very funny recording of William Shatner in a voiceover session, and his interaction with the producer of the spot. Funny…and a little familiar.
