Hilarious Face Actor Tackles More Videogame Voices

​

From the obscure to the mainstream, no game is immune from the curse of bad dialogue.

It's a pretty simple idea, you take some bad voice acting, and then lip sync to it, throwing in some hilariously overacting facial expressions to ramp up the humor, and as Dean Lauderdale neatly demonstrates with his second collection of bad, stupid, or just outright bizarre clips, there's no shortage of material to work with.

In the description for the video, Lauderdale indicates that a lot of the clips he used in the episode came from audience suggestions. The episode sees more from some old favourites, like the treasure trove of bad voice acting that is Resident Evil, as well as some high-profile newcomers like Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Devil May Cry. It just goes to show that even good games can be guilty of having some less-than-amazing voices from time to time.

There's a lot to like there, although my personal favorites have to be the clip from MGS2 about the box, and the clip from Warcraft 3 about the blood. Just watch the video; you'll see what I mean.

I love when Metal Gear references the absurdity of its cardboard boxes. There's a brilliant codec conversation in MGS3 where Big Boss says he feels destined to be in cardboard boxes, makes me laugh every time.
Was that Warcraft III dialogue real? It seems... too stupid, even in the face of the other clips.

 

[Nocta-Aeterna]

Hehe, funny, but still no "A bomb"?

 

[vrbtny]

The dynasty warrior hair was probably my favorite bit, the rest was awesome too.... just....the hair.

 

[nexekho]

Much better than the first imo.

 

[Realitycrash]

Wanna watch NOOOOOOOOW. First one was hilarious, but vid doesn't work on work-computer -.-

Yes the clip is real, but it's one of the joke dialog that happens when you click a unit multiple times

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

Wow, I love these!

Such a pity I've not come across too many of these lines in their native habitat though.

I assume so since it turned up on IMDB.

As it's the case with other Blizz strategies, if you click on an unit repeatedly, it starts getting annoyed and talks back to you; sometimes in anger, sometimes with a funny line ... it's a nice feature I enjoyed while playing SC and SC2.

In all truth, they're quite funny. Here's two more I stumbled upon:


Prince Kael'Thas: This is preposterous! Am I to assault the undead with nothing but sticks and harsh language?


Night Elf Runner: When you care enough to send the very best... Send someone else.

Yeah, like the guy above said. If you click on a unit multiple times it eventually comes out with a jokey piece of dialogue.

Edit: My favourite is the Dark Ranger's. "I went on a job interview the other day and they were like 'uhh, what's that smell?' and I was like, 'Oh, sorry, it's me'. And then they said they didn't think I'd be able to fit in with the other employees, 'cause they're living and, you know, I'm dead, so I wouldn't be a team player. But then I said I could work 24 hours. And they said 'Oh, right. You could work the graveyard shift'."

 

[Shockolate]

Hah.

The Blood part was one of my favorite joke dialogue in Warcraft 3.

 

[manythings]

Much better than the first imo.

I dunno, the first one was a bit more understated and that made it funnier for me. In this one he was putting his own jokes on top which isn't as effective.

 

[Serfix]

Devil May Cry made me almost cry, so emotional.

 

[F'Angus]

Awesome

A MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS

This guy is amazing. Still, though, nothing here beats:

WE DID IT

WE DEACTIVATED THE BOMB

(Still disappointed at the lack of HALP! CRUSAEDARS AR ATTACKING AHR TRAED ROOTS)

 

[AngryMongoose]

Someone wants his 15 seconds of fame to last 15 minutes...

Whatever, he's pretty funny.

 

[gregitaly]

This video was the one to fill my dark soul with liiiiiiight!

 

[Sparrow]

17, mainly due to his face, is just pure brilliance.

"Probably all of the kids that were killed here!"

 

[itf cho]

He's pretty good... and a lot of those lines are sooo bad...

 

[Jamous]

Liked it, liked it a lot! Good to see he's doing more of these.
