Does anyone else hate "Voice Over man?"

[jimslip]

I am fed up to the teeth with that sodding arsehole who voices every fucking film with the same gravitas for every film, whether its "The Holocaust" or "Borat" he does the same stupid voice............I say get rid of him NOW!

Voiceover Man: "Jim's angry and he wants action---Now! Nemesis Pictures present, Bruce Willis as Jim Slip in Voiceover Man Must Die! Also starring Scarlett Johansson as Lara Latex, Randy Quaid as Steve56, Rowan Atkinson as Officer Dibble and a block of wood with an OTT macho voice as Voiceover Man."

I recently, through no choice of my own, was listening to Steve Wright's afternoon show on Radio 2. He slips into this stupid and totally unconvincing "Amercian" accent. It really did get me angry so I asked the owner of the radio to turn it off, which thankfully they obliged.

His usual speaking voice you mean? He's been peddling that phoney transatlantic twang since the 80s, but then his show still sounds like it's broadcasting from the 80s.

Maybe it is. Who knows? Who cares? I can't stick him.
