Chi Chi's Cyborg commercial
So as absurd as I find the situation, I have gotten a steady flow of curious emails regarding that "Chicken And Chi Chi's" commercial even though to my knowledge the spot isn't running much or at all anymore. So here are some answers to a few of the questions I've received:
Yes, the cyborg's voice is also my voice. No, I'm not made of wires. Yes, I wish this spot had run more. No, I'm not waiting for the robot revolution to destroy my human masters. But yes, I hate people. No, I am not working on any "fan fiction" based around the "character" of the Chi Chi's cyborg. Yes, I wish I had time to though. No, I'm not cold and aloof in person. Yes, I think I would make a fantastic Artificial Intelligence. No, I don't think putting the Chi Chi's cyborg in the movie A.I. could have possibly improved it, unless the robot was actually involved in the editing process and cut about two hours and 45 minutes from the version released in theaters.
Phew...
There it is. I hope I was able to answer a decent number of the questions I've gotten about this spot. Speaking of things I've performed in, hey, did I ever mention that I attended the world's finest drama school, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art?
Yes, yes I bet I have. You probably just said hello to me on the street and I countered with, "Oh hi! Speaking of saying hello... we used to say 'allo, guv.' But that was back when I attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. In London."
And it's a good thing I went there too, because how else would I summon the raw acting skill to bring to life all the animated and fanciful commercial characters I've voiced-over?
(hint: there is an ironic rhetorical question above. see if you can spot it.)
And one last time, America..."I WANT CHICKEN AND CHI CHI'S."
Truly we live in amazing times when a TV voice over for a commercial can garner more than one trillionth of our collective attention. Excelsior, right guys?
Yeah.
