I'm so happy they just keep using Paul Julian's recorded meeps, they're just absolute classics. Just imagine being able to be the voice of a character forever, even after you're long gone. Pretty cool thought.
You know, you have to give Paul Julian credit. There's a reason they kept using his archived audio. It seems like an easy voice/sound but, listening to talented voice artists like Mel Blanc and Eric Bauza try to replicate it, makes you realize who unique it really is. Bauza gets closer than Blanc but... you can tell immediately it's not the "real" Road Runner sound.
Homer: Hey, it really is you! How'd you get to be so good? Bellamy: Oh, just experience I suppose. I started out as Roadrunner. Meep! Homer: You mean "meep-meep"? Bellamy: No, they only paid me to say it once, then they doubled it up on the soundtrack. Cheap bastards.
@@calebkuti7897 Of course. You're right. I just pointed it out because I thought it was interesting that such a small piece of dialogue could seem to sound right only from one person. It's definitely a case of me being used to the old shorts. I know what you mean about some people only accepting the old but let me assure you, I was just making an observation, which is why I pointed out that not even the great Mel Blanc could make it sound right, having voiced the majority of the original Looney Tunes characters. Some of the newer productions even still use the Paul Julian recording, so I'm clearly not the only one who noticed the unique distinctness of this background artist's particular rendition of the phrase "Beep Beep!" It's fascinating.
Dude, I don’t fucking care anymore. I’m too busy listening to angry Looney Tunes fans complaining about why Elmer should have a fucking gun super glued to his fucking hands! Jesus!
Wow, wasn’t actually expecting this, but it was still a nice surprise. It’s kind of hard to judge a character that only ever says two repeated words, but I am so used to Julian’s voice that I naturally think of him as the definitive Road Runner. Bauza does a pretty good imitation, especially considering how much variety he has in the pitch of his voice during the game (they don’t just repeat the same vocal clip over and over again). Even though Mel Blanc’s Road Runner voice sounds different between the 1964 greeting card and the two Peter Pan records, on each individual appearance, it just sounds like they’re repeating the same “Meep, Meep” over and over again, with no attempt to even speed a few of them up. My ranking: 1. Paul Julian 2. Eric Bauza 3. Mel Blanc
My favorite part was “We thought we were playing a game, but it wasn’t a game, it was real, but of course you already knew that or you sort of knew that, and if you didn’t know that, you know that now! You know?”
I kept laughing for every time he beeped beeped. Never did I ever think one day I would hear pretty much every Road Runner sound in one video. Great job Dave! Really enjoyed and kept me on my toes. Well I guess I'm heading off. (tongue spits out) Beep Beep!!!! *zooms off in a cloud of dust*
You know when you say a word enough times it loses all meaning and starts to sound surreal? That's what listening to several straight minutes of Meep Meeps sounds like.
I think someone's clip is missing here... I was watching Animaniacs last night on Hulu, specifically the Slappy Squirrel short "Bumbie's Mom," and the Road Runner showed up. I was shocked when I heard him make the signature "beep beep/meep meep" noise, and it didn't sound like anyone you included in this video! It had a more pronounced "beep" to it, and I'd say it was closer to Paul Julian's than Mel Blanc or Eric Bauza, but it was definitely not Paul Julian because of the whole "beep beep" vs. "meep meep" thing. I've heard rumors in the comments section talking about how Rob Paulsen actually did voice the real deal Road Runner, and honestly, I think that's him based on the voice itself as well as him being one of the regulars on Animaniacs, but I don't know for sure. Paulsen is only credited as Yakko in the full episode, and nobody is credited for more than one role, not even major ones in the episode such as the nun in The Big Candy Store or Vina Walleen/Bumbie's Mom. In addition, the clip itself isn't included in the video. Was this because nobody was credited? I'm honestly very curious about this unique-sounding Road Runner.
Rob Paulsen also voiced the Road Runner in the Animaniacs (1993) episode Bumbie's Mom (1993). His portrayal of the Road Runner sounds similar to his portrayals of Axl (Taz-Mania) and Doctor Scratchansniff (Animaniacs).
Julian’s voice has appeared across all video game media, except World of Mayhem. There’s no official source stating Welker ever voiced him - likewise the Taz Mania episode was also a Julian archive.
Dave Lee Down Under once there was a video of the Cartoon Conductor game where someone in the comments were saying it’s Joe Alaskey or Frank Welker. Because at least to my ears it doesn’t sound like Paul Julian.
This may be off topic but since I have your attention, Maurice LaMarche once done Wile E Coyote for the Cartoon Conductor game but I haven’t been able to find footage of Maurice as Wile. Joe Alaskey did Wile for Looney Tunes Reality Check Webtoon not Maurice LaMarche.

I like how you can tell Paul Julian clearly recorded dozens of unique and different "meep meeps" over the years. Then you get to The Looney Tunes Show and they just used the same one over and over again 😑
I honestly think it's time for the RoadRunner to get a new voice actor and make him more vocal such as being able to laugh and make other sounds besides "Beep Beep" and the tongue pop ironically his student Little Beeper can laugh and make other sounds
I don't think that Frank Welker voiced the Road Runner. People think that Welker voiced him in Tiny Toon Adventures (1990), Taz-Mania (1991) and Animaniacs (1993), but it doesn't sound like him. You are correct on Welker voicing Little Beeper, though. Jeff Bergman voiced the Road Runner in the Tiny Toon Adventures episode Animaniacs! (1990), while archive recordings of Paul Julian were used for the Road Runner in Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation (1991) and the episode Thirteensomething (1992). Rob Paulsen voiced the Road Runner in the Taz-Mania episode Instant Replay (1991) and the Animaniacs episode Bumbie's Mom (1993).
This is a very important question that I need someone in the comments to answer for me: Are there Road Runner plushies that when you squeeze them make the "meep meep"s? Because it is too cute and I would like 100 of them.
Paul Julian's is the only one that sounds correct. I hope his estate is still collecting royalties, but I'm guessing not. He was probably paid a wage for his work and whoever owns Road Runner likely owns the rights to his voice.
I can also do the beep beeps, almost as good as Paul! Like not even joking here! If they needed another voice actor to do him, I'm your guy. Like it even sounds better than Eric's

One thing you can say about the Road Runner: He's been voiced by the same person longer than any other Looney Tunes character.
Very true
I didn’t even realize until now
Probably longer than any cartoon character PERIOD.
@@72acemon4 Could be actually.

Lol
Paul Julian got annoyed when it was spelled 'beep beep', he always saw it as 'meep meep' lol
I always think it sounds like "meemeep". Apparently he explicitly said it was "hmeep hmeep".
Me too
Paul Julian seems to be the only one that sounds right to me. Even Mel Blanc couldn't do it.
Mel was ok but Paul is the best Road Runner.
Paul sounds right to you because you watched the old shorts the most. I hope we don’t have the mentality of “old is good! Anything new sucks”

Anyone else think that the Road Runner say "meep-meep" rather than beep-beep?
I always have heard him say "meep-meep" ever since I was a kid.
I always thought that too, but weirdly hearing it on repeat like this, it’s starting to sound more like a “Beep-Beep”
@@superdude4383 Bauza's meeps do sound more like "beep", but given the original VA said it was supposed to be "hmeep", I stand by my opinion. XD
Yes I do
I always thought he said Beep Beep to sound like a racecar
"That's it? THAT WAS JUST A BUNCHA CHEAP MEEP CYCLES!"
“What a rip.”
"GRRRRR!! DAVE LEE BETRAYED US!!!"
Stop! In the name of the Dave Lee law!
And now, the real Lost Episode!
Meep meep!
Eminem: **raps fast**
Rob Paulsen as the Road Runner in Loonatics: “I’m about to end this man’s entire career!”
You thought Eminem was a fast rapper? Think again, cause Rev Runner can rap Rap God in his normal talking speed!
Now I want to see if Rob Paulson can do Rap God.
You damn right he is. :)
Most iconic voice since Shaggy Rogers
He meep-meeped when no one else would.
The best voice line if all time
MEEP MEEP
It really says something about Paul's iconic recordings when Mel Blanc can't match up.
The fact that their still using archived recordings of Paul Julian even after he died is like Paul Julian is still alive

I do say that Paul's beeps/meeps suits roadrunner and I absolutely love it, I 100% adore that💛❤💚
The Roadrunner: Roadrunners never read rules, or read!
(Sound like a sport car horn, classic).
0:45 Chuck was right. Mr. Julian gave us a timeless performance.
I'm surprised that they did a video on the Roadrunner's voice evolution. He doesn't say anything but "Beep! Beep!"
Who's they? It's a one man channel.
oz pardo I was wondering the same thing
Me too. I seriously thought it was going to be like Pluto's Voice Evolution, to be like an April Fool's joke.
I was wondering who “they” are as well.
Mats Berglinn Thought about it. But could resist.
I guarantee you Wile E Coyote has PTSD and is constantly hearing all these beep beeps in his head.
Paul Jillian will always be the best Road Runner voice ever!!!
And I loved Rob Paulsen as Rev Runner on Loonatics Unleashed!
I kept laughing for every time he beeped beeped. Never did I ever think one day I would hear pretty much every Road Runner sound in one video. Great job Dave! Really enjoyed and kept me on my toes. Well I guess I'm heading off. (tongue spits out) Beep Beep!!!! *zooms off in a cloud of dust*

But you couldn’t stop watching, could you?
I can never get enough Meep Meep. I'm a Beaker fan, you know.
Every time I hear that “Meep Meep” I laugh so much
3:50 the cuts between the music actually sounds good! The heck? 😂
Paul Julian deserves to be credited in a Looney Tunes cartoon because they've been using archived audio of him for years even after he died
The only minor difference in the roadrunner's beeps is that they change in pitch ever so slightly
The only cartoon character I know who a car named after him. And of course the horn sounds like him, too.
Not counting the albums, Unleashed, and World of Mayhem
Roadrunner is the only cartoon character who never had a new voice actor

Paul Julian drew the title cards for a lot of Roger Corman movies like THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS.
You Know, I always thought the Road Runner said "Meep Meep" Rather than "Beep Beep!" Either way, great video!
Mel Blanc used to imitate a car starting on Jack Benny's radio show, so this wasn't much of a stretch.
Voice evolution for roadrunner this should be interesting good job Dave keep it up
Hope you enjoyed.
Great Video Dave can’t wait for the Next Cartoon Evolution
Thank you.
Ah, yes, the wide and varied voices of Road Runner.
I could listen to this all day
After a while it begins to sound like he sounds he's saying meet me
Rob Paulsen once did the voice of The Roadrunner for a 1991 episode of Taz Mania
