If only the head of Orson Welles in Futurama was based off this version. Orson Welles: You're asking me, the renowned spokesman for Blotto Bros. Wine, to recreate my brilliant 1938 radio broadcast. Merely to impress and deceive the wife of this scaly reptile? Fry: Sorry nevermind. Orson Welles: I'll do it on one condition. You bring me ten cases of Mrs. Pell's Fishsticks. Leela: Don't worry I got that covered. *gives Orson Welles a Fishstick* Orson Welles: Oh yes! They're even better when your a head!
A few years ago, one of my professors at School of Visual Arts showed us Citizen Kane to discuss scene composition, and beforehand I whispered the "Rosebud Frozen Peas" bit to myself. The TA started cracking up and said he was so happy that someone else remembered that.
"Geez Brain, what are we going to do tonight?" *"The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Advertize Mrs Pell's Fishsticks!"* *"Yes... Oh, YES! They're even better when you're a lab mouse!"* "...Brain, are you alright mate?"
I only found out in my 20s that these were based on actual commercials Orson Welles did in the 70s and 80s. My dad actually told me about the Paul Masson Wine commercials, and how he was drunk during them. I've seen the outtakes, they're hilarious. But for me, when I was 11-12 years old, this was sooo funny, even if I didn't understand the reference!
Interesting to note, but Maurice LaMarche also dubbed Vincent D'Onofrio in Ed Wood. D'Onofrio played the physical role of Welles, while LaMarche provided the voice. It's really convincing onscreen and does not use comp trickery.
"At 25, he wrote and directed Citizen Kane, still considered by countless snobs the best movie ever made. After that, there's apparently not a lot left to do with your life other than pit obesity and alcoholism against each other in a race to stop your heart."
Pretty crazy how he showed he was so brilliant it was like… you have nothing left to prove at all… at age 25.. imagine someone now making a movie so overwhelmingly loved and adored at the age of 25, written produced and directed by them, that everyone was in agreement you can’t go higher. You’ve won the game of Hollywood already. Like what would that even look like???
Maurice LaMarche is a freakin' genius! One of my favorite cartoon voice over actors! The Brain, Egon from The Real Ghostbusters, his Orson Welles impersontations from the Critic...and many more! He one of my faves along with Frank Welker, Peter Cullin, and the cast of The Simpsons.
Maurice LaMarche is a great Orson Welles Impersonator and voice actor. He can even do "War of the Worlds" as Orson Welles, it is remarkable. Long live Maurice LaMarche!
"What follows is a terrifying journey into the world of probate, beneficiaries, and GOBLINS!" I am going to have to remember to include this line in my living will.
Interestingly enough, Orson Welles' last role was the Transformers: the Movie. A role he probably knew anything about... yet still delivered A+ performance.
Welles: "You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. Some terrible robot toys from Japan that changed from one thing to another. The Japanese have funded a full-length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer-space stuff. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen."
OMG, i finally get the joke. "Full of country Goodness and Green Peaness". I was just laughing at this clip for the last month cause it sounded like he said penis for no reason and I have the maturity of a 5 year old.
This show is so underappreciated. I think it only lasted 2 seasons. Meanwhile the freaking Kardashians is probably in it's 20th season. People, they're the worst.
Live action is a lot cheaper to produce and makes a lot more money. It's not like The Critic wasted it's time on the air. It had a lot of good episodes and lasted longer than a few other shows born from the Simpsons gold rush.
The students writing and droning 'Be an independent thinker' always cracked my shit up, before the Rosebud part. I should also mention, 'Wait that's terrible. I quit.' Has been an inside joke between my brother and myself for years.
Oddly enough, Maurice LaMarche, the voice impersonator of Orsen Wells, once did a skit as The Brain in Animaniacs where he did a bunch of Orsen Wells reads.
***** The reads are from a single infamous outtakes tape. LaMarche always does the whole thing, line by line, before recording a Welles impression in order to get in the groove, which is what inspired the Animaniacs writers to come up with the sketch.
Maurice LaMarche really oughta put that voice in sequences of noir flick narration. It exemplifies how he'll sound if he were to voice a character who's an on-going detective that knows everything in the deep N.Y. state of mind.
Hahaha, I remember being a child when this came on, I didn’t understand it much at all, but watching this as an adult is sooo much better! Lmao. This is absolute gold! Well written and funny, Why this show was canceled is beyond me! 😂😂😂 Addendum: After watching real life OW’s outtakes I found this segment to be even more hilarious, they have his mannerisms really well written in. 🤣
although the Brain is a caricature of Orson Welles, his voice sounds more like Vincent Price. Orson Welles had a deep, raspy voice. I guess matching Vincent Price's voice to Orson Welles sounds much funnier.
I mean when you're a baritone doing an impression of a bass, you kinda have to just do your best. The neat thing is everyone instantly recognizes whom he's impersonating, when it's really hard to hear orson welles recordings and think "oh yeah I can mimic that" Mo is great at picking out the fine subtle details
_The Critic_ is quality humor, in a class of its own. _Family Guy_ is just saturated stupidity, appealing only to the most dimwitted and lowbrow of humanity. To even compare the two is a deep wound inflicted on _The Critic._
It must’ve been extremely difficult to be likely the greatest director ever and have to keep doing commercials for money and be banished from Hollywood despite having such a profound influence.

"Oh what the hell I need the money" about sums up my daily experience at my job.
The best excuse to do anything deemed unsavory by more conventional folk.
Orson Wells pissed off enough Hollywood big wigs that they made sure he never got to work on any big film projects ever again :/
that what he said for my little pony
dojokonojo but guess who’s laughing at the end his films are more remembered than the studio’s crappy films
My first job in a nutshell
I like the implication that when a fish dies and becomes a fish stick, there is no afterlife for them. They are fated to forever be eaten by Orson Welles' ghost.
i can't tell if that's good or bad.
Fish hell is also Orson Well's heaven. It's an elegant system.
You know what they say, one man's Heaven is another man's Hell.
B L A C K
M I R R O R
Actually, there is an afterlife for them; God just materializes the composition of fish sticks for Orson Welles.
"What are we going to do tonight, Orson?"
"Same thing we do every night Pinky, try to take over the world's supply of Mrs. Pell's fishsticks."
They taste even better when you're a mouse!
Their Pinky their Pinky and the Welles,Welles,Welles,Welles Welles,Welles Welles.NARF
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"I think so Orson but how does a remote farm in Lincolnshire help us sell frozen peas?"
"Because they're full of country goodness and green... pea-ness."
One is a genius the others insane!
“They’re even better when you’re dead” was a tirelessly and arbitrarily exclaimed line between me and my friends in high school.

His Wells impersonation always came a little closer to Vincent Price than Orson. It as like 30% Wells and 70% Vincent Price.
That's exactly what he said when he was asked about inspiration for brains voice
don't forget we hear him again in the "War of the Worlds" parody on a simpsons halloween special

Maurice LaMarche voiced Orson Welles here who is also the inspiration behind Maurice's voice for the Brain on Pinky and the Brain.
If only the head of Orson Welles in Futurama was based off this version.

No, no, you messed up the best part. He says "skinny" reptile, made funnier by the fact that Lrrr is an 11-foot tall, hulking space monster.
goddamnit, now you're making me want to see that...
What luck, there's a french fry stuck in my jar!
At this point Maurice is going to turn into Orson
That's it. You've won the internet with that comment. Seriously, the entire internet now belongs to you.
"Oh, what luck! There's a french fry stuck in my beard!"

That's something you and Orson Welles have in common

I miss this cartoon! Lovitz was a genius for this!!!
Part of that genius was Steven Spielberg who directed and co-wrote some of the episodes.
Nah, he only did the voice of Jay.
