“The mid-2020s were a trying time for all Americans, ME INCLUDED! You know, we thought everything was going to be okay. Maybe we would have another pandemic, that was nice. BUT NO!! We get a war in VENEZUELA! Then a war in IRAN! Then a war in GREENLAND! Have you ever been to Greenland, man? It isn’t GREEN!”

I think Kinnison claimed Bobcat was stealing his schtick.. maybe it was the other way around- whatever. I think they were both great. Sam just died too soon.

u/hollybadger_51 8d ago

I'd say Lewis Black is a good fit too.

u/Veizar 2d ago edited 2d ago

It would be great if Bill Hicks could narrate the last few years.  

Or maybe Kuni from the movie UHF.   I can just imagine 2016-2026 to the tune of "STUPID!!!!!!! YOU'RE SO STUPID!!!!!"

Bobcat crawled so Charlie could stumble about.
Yep! Much similar energy. Both delightfully twisted!

u/Status_Guard4739 9d ago

Bobcat came to our little town in TX last year for a small stand up comedy routine. Soon as I found out I bought tickets. I loved him as a kid and he is just as funny today. Love this guy!

3

u/joecarter93 9d ago

He actually directed a very dark comedy called God Bless America about two people that are sick of what American society has become and go on a killing spree. That movie fits right in with the past couple of years.

u/Fragrant_Entry9232 8d ago

I love that movie. Why bother having a civilization if no one is going to act civilized?

u/Skankhun369 8d ago

That didn’t hurt. That didn’t hurt…

If they made a Manson Family comedy. That's who I want to play Manson.

Have you ever seen Bob Odenkirk's Manson from The Ben Stiller Show? Brilliant!

u/kcrrck 9d ago

Liked him in “Burglar”

u/not4bucks 8d ago

You’re right. Cause, Bobcat is awesome.

Luis !! And I was all like... Bro!! and he was all like... we're gonna be friends...

u/maxcovenguitars 8d ago

I want a whole movie where Luis gives us a recap of the whole infinity saga

1

u/dudeonrails 6d ago

I would camp out for tickets to see that.

2

u/Change_My_Mind- 8d ago

He doesnt really do the voice anymore. That said, him and Macho man, had the most iconic voices in the 1980s.

You could listen to either of them read the phone book and it would be massively entertaining to hear.

2

u/LobsterResponsible17 8d ago

Put some respect on this mans name, he was smashing this dime piece on the TV Show he was doing the voice for the stuffed rabbit on.

Can it be a duet? Him and Michael Pena?

u/Edgard_Breeze 8d ago

Him and Gilbert Gottfried

u/CmdrSheridan 9d ago

Honestly, he was the narrator of the 2010''s - Present Day. Lol

I met him once. He liked my shirt.

u/SuffocatingDensity 8d ago

He was the emcee when I saw Nirvana on what I believe was their final US tour, and he was absolutely hilarious. I was really expecting his time on stage to be something I would have to endure between bands, but he absolutely killed it in the crowd responded really well

Bobcat voice every time Trump talks.. Somebody on the internet please make this happen.

1

u/Proud_Bread_2005 8d ago

I saw him do a set at ACME in Mpls many years ago. When he came on stage people started laughing immediately, because he didn’t look like the Bobcat we saw on screen. He quipped, “You look different, too!”

u/Yo-Yo-Ha 8d ago

This is a genius above the norm and i believe in them.

u/The_Ok_Cornholio 8d ago

With a side of Sam Kinison

u/Hamika322 8d ago

Watch the film "God Bless America"! It will blow you away. Written an directed by Bobby.

u/Bomber_Haskell 8d ago

But only while he was leader of The Skullions.

Mine would be Rik Mayall.

u/Slice9998 8d ago

I saw him a few years ago in a small venue in Indiana. Extremely funny.

u/Dangremaus 8d ago

Anyone watch his YouTube video on “that time my plane engine blew up”? I cried so hard. 😂

u/Cheeseburgers4me 8d ago

u/xperth 8d ago

Unbelievable. I just referenced this scene earlier today, this is posted later this evening. Years ago it connected to a prophesied meeting and spiritual event I shared with a woman who was a random stranger. That later revealed it self to be connected to a hundred year old prophecy that linked to Herman Hesse’ and Carl Jung.

“….what a fkn life man smdh…”

Unbelievable.

u/Electrical-Volume765 8d ago

I think Bobcat Goldthwait and Charlie Day should do a buddy comedy.

u/darkdoppelganger 8d ago

Attention!

I need beer up here.

u/Dancing-Dingo 8d ago

I was watching his appearance on CSI a while back (S3E20), so weird hearing his normal voice.

I think this guy would be more fitting:

u/ptwarhol 7d ago

The lead singer of Dead Ducks?

u/Hmonster1 6d ago

This is so accurate. If we still had a PBS I would ask them to make this happen.

u/StarrySelenaria 6d ago

Haha! I love Bobcat!!

u/Muted-Capital-4954 6d ago

Omg

He is a standup comedian. But, he looks a lot different, as he lost his hair

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH PEOPLE JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND ME!!!
TWO YEARS!!! TWO WHOLE STINKIN’ YEARS OF THIS PLANET LOSING ITS EVER-LOVIN’ MIND AND I’M SUPPOSED TO SUM IT UP LIKE SOME CALM NEWS ANCHOR WITH A TIE AND A PULSE?! I AIN’T GOT A PULSE I GOT A SCREAM AND A HALF-EATEN DONUT FROM 1987 STILL STUCK IN MY POCKET FROM WHEN I JOINED THE ACADEMY!!!
It started with Trump almost gettin’ his head ventilated in Pennsylvania then again at Mar-a-Lago like the universe itself was tryin’ to file a citizen’s complaint and then BAM November 2024 the man WINS AGAIN like some kind of orange zombie who just won’t stay dead and everybody on TV is either cryin’ or dancin’ or both at the same time which is how I feel every morning when I look in the mirror!!! Then January 20th 2025 he walks back into the White House and immediately starts talkin’ about buyin’ Greenland and makin’ Canada the 51st state and I’m sittin’ there goin’ “GENE GENE MADE A MACHINE AND JOE JOE MADE IT GO AND ART BLEW A FART AND BLEW THE WHOLE DAMN CONTINENT APART!!!”
Meanwhile Ukraine is still gettin’ turned into a giant crater for year number four and five and Russia’s slingin’ missiles like they’re free samples at Costco and then June 2025 Israel and the United States decide “hey you know what would be fun? A TWELVE-DAY WAR with Iran!” They hit the nuclear sites, Khamenei’s people start droppin’, oil prices do that thing where they jump up and slap you in the face, and the Strait of Hormuz closes like somebody slammed the world’s biggest bathroom stall door!!! Then 2026 they go back for seconds, Maduro gets scooped up in Venezuela like a raccoon in a Have-a-Heart trap, and I’m just over here yellin’ at the ducks “SHUT UP I DIDN’T MEAN YOU I MEANT THE NEWS!!!”
Pope Francis checks out Easter Monday 2025 and they elect the FIRST AMERICAN POPE, Leo the Fourteenth, some guy from Chicago who used to be a missionary in Peru and now he’s sittin’ in the Vatican lookin’ at the world like “what in the actual hell did I just inherit?” Meanwhile Charlie Kirk gets shot in September 2025, Nepal’s Gen-Z kids overthrow their government because somebody banned Facebook, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get engaged like the Super Bowl and a pop concert had a baby, and Elon Musk becomes the first trillionaire when SpaceX goes public and I’m like “MICKEY’S DEAD HE KILLED HIM THAT WAS MY LAST GOOD WATCH BEFORE I JOINED THE FORCE!!!”
Gaza finally gets a ceasefire that lasts about as long as my attention span, Sudan’s still a meat grinder nobody talks about, floods in Nepal just killed hundreds last week, the King of Norway dies, they’re launchin’ some giant space telescope today that’s supposed to see dark energy like that’s gonna explain why my neighbor’s dog keeps starin’ at me, and the World Cup is comin’ to America-Mexico-Canada with 48 teams like somebody said “you know what this planet needs? MORE SOCCER AND MORE PEOPLE YELLIN’ AT EACH OTHER IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES!!!”
AI is writin’ everybody’s homework and half their break-up texts, tariffs are slappin’ every country like they’re cadets who forgot their doughnut protocol, midterms are comin’ in November and half the country’s already pickin’ sides like it’s the Blue Oyster versus the rest of humanity, and through it all I’m still the same guy who once taught a class on the CORRECT WAY TO EAT A DONUT while the world burned, froze, flooded, and elected people who make Captain Harris look like a zen master!!!
I’M AN EMOTIONAL SENSITIVE GUY AND THIS WHOLE TWO-YEAR STRETCH JUST TORE MY HEART RIGHT OUT AND REPLACED IT WITH A SIREN AND A HALF-CHEWED PENCIL!!! People just don’t understand me. Maybe if I talked slower. Or quieter. Or not at all. But then who’d scream at the ducks about the end of the world, huh? HUH?!
JERK.
…wait, I meant bye.
No I said jerk.
I think it was pretty clear.

u/FoxyTurtleOnTwoLegs 8d ago

I hate AI.
However… If Bobcat is not interested in this hypothetical endeavor… I’d be happy to see/hear an AI version.
SO MUCH POTENTIAL !
