Funny / Talkin' Toons with Rob Paulsen

• In the Kevin Michael Richardson episode, he tells a story of how he ran into Greg Cipes in a massage parlor. Kevin was just standing by when he felt a towel snap his butt; he turns around and sees a naked Greg Cipes. His "WTF?" reaction was hilarious enough, but then another guy sees the two and is smiling directly at them, as if he wants to "join the party".
  • There's also a bit where he talks about getting the part of the Joker in The Batman and being worried about Mark Hamill's reaction. He then launches into a pretty good impression of Hamill, questioning Kevin about the role.
• Phil LaMarr responds to complaints he heard about making Gambit sound "too black" by demonstrating a New Orleans accent, followed by a "black New Orleans" accent.
• When Nolan North was on the podcast, he told the story of his first play in New York, in which he got Mistaken for Gay by a lot of the girls he worked with, even by one who he was meant to be having a sex scene with. He managed to whisper to her, "I'm not gay", and described her reaction as priceless.
• The Richard Steven Horvitz episode, all of it, mainly because of how hammy he can get.
  • His over-the-top impression of Haim Saban when talking about his Alpha 5 audition.
  • Richard describing and demonstrating ADR for Invader Zim.
    • Speaking of Zim, Richard and Rob have a conversation as Yakko and Zim, culminating in an unintentional foreshadowing of Helluva Boss. "Zim is in Hell right now!"
  • Rob also talks about the time he signed a fan's boob.
• The Daran Norris episode. Highlights include:
  • The Chief and Pinky singing classic rock.
  • Jorgen telling Yakko he must "go to the Dagobah system".
  • Jorgen interrogating Carl Wheezer.
  • Jorgen and Mark Chang walk into a bar.
• Rob Paulsen and John DiMaggio's musical tribute to Tony Weiner.
• Rob Paulsen and Clancy Brown singing "The Star Spangled Banner"... as Carl and Mr. Krabs. Even better, Clancy (whose grandfather and father were Congressmen and whose father also served briefly as Acting Secretary of Commerce in the Reagan administration) at one point forgets the words.
• In the Chris Hardwick episode, Chris talks about the time the cast of Back at the Barnyard sang an improvised song called "Dick Tits", sometime after finding out they were cancelled. Someone from the network walked in on them singing, to which head writer Jed Spingarn responded, "What are you gonna do, cancel us some more?"
  • Chris also talks about the time he had Billy West and Maurice LaMarche on his podcast. Before it began, they started doing "Stimpy and the Brain", and Chris was unable to get it recorded.
  • Paulsen and Hardwick's improvised "Happy Birthday" song for a fan, when Hardwick informed Paulsen that the song is not in public domain, which the latter was surprised by.
• The exchange in the Jim Cummings episode that results in PJ threatening patricide. The threat on its own is hilarious if you're a Goof Troop fan for how uncharacteristically brutal (and yet still somewhat plausible) it is, but then Pete says "That's good, drink a lot and drive fast! That's Daddy's boy!" in a happy, loving tone without any corpsing from Jim (while Rob was already losing it before the patricide threat). Then Jim and Rob label the segment "Parenting Tips with Pete".
  • Cummings doing a spot-on Mike Tyson impersonation (which he's actually done before on Tiny Toon Adventures) with Cummings' youngest daughter being in earshot so he makes a Bowdlerized version of Mike Tyson telling a story of abducting a woman.
    Jim: (as Tyson) And she's like, "Oh help me! Help me! Save me, please!" Y'know, teasin'.
• So many from the episode with Jess Harnell and Kevin Michael Richardson:
  • Jess tells the story of the time Kevin was naked in his house, while his girlfriend was also over.
  • William Shatner, who is one of Jess's neighbors, apparently thinks that Jess is Gene Simmons.
  • Kevin doing ThunderCats on BET.
    Kevin: (in a stereotypical black accent) Lion-O! Where my thunderpants at?
  • Jess talks about the time he was at Comic Con and met a guy in Superman spandex asking for a photo, and asks if Supergirl can be in it. At first Jess is touched, thinking a sweaty cosplayer still managed to get a girlfriend who would cosplay with him. Then it turns out to actually be his mother.
• The episode with Nolan North and Sean Astin, culminating in them pretending to be Mickey Mouse... having sex in the bedroom. They acknowledge that "[they] probably won't get work for Disney again".
• In the podcast featuring the cast of The 7D, when Rob has Dee Bradley Baker come up, Dee starts making animal noises.
  Rob: Dee Bradley Baker, the only man Frank Welker wants dead.
• The PJ vs. Carl rivalry that shows up in the "Carl" and Jason Marsden podcasts. Both vehemently deny they sound anything like each other, with Carl eventually admitting people do say they sound alike but that it doesn't matter since Goof Troop ended, and PJ attempting to put distance between him and Carl by insulting him, but slowly mitigating it and insulting himself instead. This is also funny because Rob has stated elsewhere that the similarity between the voices was intended.
• Taliesin Jaffe used to be a child actor (with the not-entirely-untruthful joke being that he had a SAG card before he could walk) before he ended up quitting on-camera acting because of a Baywatch script at the age of about 14. That script was apparently a special kind of awful.
• In the May 19, 2018 episode, Rob and Clancy Brown at one point talk about how Frank Welker still hasn’t been on the podcast yet, which led to Rob explaining how he had recently went so far as actually trying to (playfully) guilt trip Frank into agreeing to be on the podcast... and Frank still turned it down!
  Rob: I even called him the other day —and this is how desperately I wanted Welker to be on— I said, “Frank, don’t make me pull the, uh... ‘I can’t believe you turned down your friend who had cancer’ card.”
  Clancy: Ohhhhhhhh, good one!
  Rob: Yeah! Throat Cancer, no less!
• Rob and Gary Anthony Williams performing the "Argument Clinic" from Monty Python's Flying Circus, with Pinky as John Cleese and Uncle Ruckus as Michael Palin.
• Rob and Seth Green read Obi-Wan Kenobi's confrontation with Anakin Skywalker from Revenge of the Sith... as Pinky and Chris Griffin. Seth proceeds to deliver his lines as Anakin in the whiniest way imaginable, causing Rob to absolutely LOSE it, along with EVERYONE off camera cracking up too. Rob eventually has to change his voice to Daffy Duck's because he's laughing too hard to keep going as Pinky.
• In the Brad Garrett episode, he recalls how one interviewer thought he was Ray Romano. Cue Rob calling Brad "Ray" for the rest of the episode.
• In Rob’s episode with Charlie Adler, the pair read the interrogation scene from Mission: Impossible III. Charlie reads Ethan’s lines as Cow and manages to make Rob (playing Davian as Carl) and the people off-camera laugh hard.
