Rob playing the long game; I bet he gave Carl the lazy L affectation just so he could go on Vanity Fair and roast impressionists who didn’t have it.

I wish they did ones where voice actors try to do impressions of another actor’s character(s).

Pinky and the Brain was my favorite show as a kid. It was one of those rare gems that was clever and funny in a sea of stupidity called the kids channel. Thank you!

I love this but it would have been nice to have had any of the channels featured in this actually mentioned in the description or have been notified to spread the word that they were featured in this. That being said I loved that Rob Paulsen finally seen my Yakko and Dr. Scratchansniff impression! at 8:35 Thank you so much Rob!!!
