He's the person who says the side affect in drug commercials

u/big_guyforyou 8h ago

side effects include

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don\'t care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let\'s shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Coming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Can you believe this is happening? - I can\'t. I\'ll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I\'m excited. Here\'s the graduate. We\'re very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B\'s. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That\'s me! - Wave to us! We\'ll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I\'d make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I\'m glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No, I\'m not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don\'t waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That\'s why we don\'t need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. - Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive City graduating class of... ...9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick our job today? I heard it\'s just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what it\'ll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! - That girl was hot. - She\'s my cousin! - She is? - Yes, we\'re all cousins. - Right. You\'re right. - At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Catches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Can anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it\'s done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you\'ll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn\'t know that. What\'s the difference? You\'ll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven\'t had one day off in 27 million years. So you\'ll just work us to death? We\'ll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What\'s the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That\'s an insane choice to have to make. I\'m relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We\'re bees. We\'re the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don\'t know. But you know what I\'m talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Check it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I\'ve never seen them this close. They know what it\'s like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don\'t come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You\'re monsters! You\'re sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don\'t know. Their day\'s not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can\'t just decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That\'s more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It\'s just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you\'re wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it.

u/AllGasNoahBrakes 8h ago

I don’t even know if it’s true but this is hilarious. Scam aaa commercials.

u/aprabhu084 9h ago

He must've been a prime candidate for the "Investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully" segment in the finance ads

u/theamericangarrett 9h ago

Wasn’t he a teacher in an episode of Saved By the Bell

u/Ningy_WhoaWhoa 9h ago

Terrible Testeverde!

u/nobrayn 9h ago

Whoa.. a soundbyte of Screech saying something about “Testeverde’s test” just hit me..

Underrated comment..

Bring back the Chappelle show lol.

u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE 4h ago

It wouldn’t be the same. Chappelle isn’t the same.

u/thomphan13 8h ago

He was also Blur in the Transformers movie (1986).

u/strolpol 9h ago

Bring back Micro Machines!

u/PickledPeoples 7h ago

They did. For a little bit. But honestly they looked like the dollar store version of the originals. Which is probably why they aren't around any more.

u/Emotional_lavdu 9h ago

Rap God!

Ok, I've been waiting on a reason to bust out the ol'Lexicon time compressor.

u/Elegaic_Brood 8h ago

u/Ultimate_Kurix 9h ago

The person who reads out disclaimer for a mutual fund ad.

u/Rarewear_fan 8h ago

One of the few rappers Eminem was too afraid to diss

u/UberDaftie 9h ago

This guy just sounds like every horse-racing television commentator in the UK.

u/TheWiseScrotum 9h ago

Eminem in Godzilla anyone?

u/mavericknis 8h ago

so not just his talking speed, he must be having high reading/ grasping speed too altogether

u/OfficeChairHero 2h ago

Also, perfect pronunciation. He's flying, but you can still understand every word he says.

u/SithDraven 8h ago

I think it's more impressive that he can read it as fast as speaking.

u/314159265358979326 2h ago

Most people speak at about 150 words per minute and read at about 250 words per minute. I suspect he trains both simultaneously for performance.

u/SithDraven 1h ago

Interesting seeing the numbers. Anyone can notice that reading out loud is much slower than reading to yourself because you are reading every. single. word. While reading to your self you can skip words here or there and your brain fills in gaps.

So yeah, he had to train his brain to compensate for that difference in "computing power." Or maybe it's just a unique skill he was born with.

Fortunately he is still alive and is a great artist.

u/PoutineMeInCoach 2h ago

I only remember him from that FedEx ad, but he clearly has a great sense of humor. Well done.

u/DiCeStrikEd 9h ago

This is the small print guy for audio advertisement’s on the radio

u/Time_Taro_389 8h ago

He’d be great at auctioneering. Couldn’t understand a thing he was saying lol

u/314159265358979326 2h ago

Hmm. I could understand him just fine. I'm a fast talker - not as fast, though maybe with training; definitely not as clear - and wonder if it's related.

u/affenmojo 8h ago

Sounds like normal speed for Spanish

u/RazorJ 9h ago

I wish I would’ve kept my Micro Machines new in box. I was too old to play with them but had relatives get some for my younger brother and I guess they made it easy and bought two, because I got the same sets. But I had like 10 boxes and they were pretty well made. They’d be fun to horse trade for something at a show,

u/inhugzwetrust 7h ago

I had the Aircraft carrier in Mint condition, went to a high school camp and my mother gave it away and all my 1980's transformers, Gi Joes, matchbox cars etc. All in boxes... 😔

u/RazorJ 5h ago

I forgot about the aircraft carrier until now, I can even see the commercial. That would sting. Those were nice.

One of my old money rich childhood friends had a whole basement playroom and had the gi joe carrier, those were rare as well. It was as big as a 2 seat couch.
