    Ok so I see that Brad's seductive voice is a huge topic of his profile and on this site, but does anyone else think he sounds like a more laid-back and cooler version of Seth Rogen? It's like a combination of Seth Rogen and some other famous voice that I can't place... Any ideas?

    He and his soothing voice will be missed. I shed a tear each time I think of his terrible, terrible demise.

    Don't mind that, he's just being an idiot, as for the voice likeness I really can't think of anyone.

    Ok I thought he got sh!tcanned or something and I was gonna weep for a second. But I want to say his voice is almost like Seth Rogan if he annunciated his words better but... It's not that. It's someone... Something familiar. It's going to eat at my brain until I figure it out... Argh! :S

    I'm not really feeling the Seth Rogen. I've listened to Brad for far more than enough time that he just sort of sounds like Brad to me now.

    Alas, poor Bradly! I knew him, mitchell486, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it.

    Brad's monotones got zero on the Snider X) 
     
    Though Snider's laugh is still without the doubt one of the creepiest I've heard. Like the kind of laugh someone would make as he drowns kittens.

    Holy crap I didn't know there was a forum for "Brad Shoemaker"... That is awesome. He really must be able to spawn little kittens playing with yarn when he winks... I'm a true believer now! :D

    I sorta dont like Brad on the podcast, the monotone doesn't work without the fucking hilarious facial expressions he does (e.g the beginning of that amazing Wii Party video)

    @HandsomeDead: Could have just said you aren't a fan of   ellipses. But I suppose your round-about nonchalant passive  aggressive  way of pointing out my flaws works waaaaaaaaaaay better..... You're right and I'm glad I learned my life lesson.  
      

     Learning is fun! Thanks!
     Learning is fun! Thanks!

     
    PS - Yes I am well aware the is a very long syllable in that sentence that is not really the proper spelling of the word "way" but, I like the way I used it so therefore it stays, there is no need for you to point that out to me as well. Thanks. 
     
     
     
    But to everyone else on the forum, thank you for the proper responses. And the guy who posted above me, but whose name I could not click to add in here, true story about Seth sounding like Brad! Ha so true!

    this isn't a "you should've used search" post but I'm sure about a year and a bit ago there was a thread that asked the same thing?
    anyone else remember that?

    @Jothel: I was actually searching for one! That's the only reason I started this. I figured it HAD to have come up before, but nay. I could find nothing about it. :\ But I wasn't here a year ago so my word is no good on that subject. :)

    @mitchell486: Calm down. I was doing a text version of how Seth Rogan speaks on like everything. For someone who says to 'not let it get to you', you seem to get things that aren't even aimed in your direction.

    Billy Bob Thornton. Always thought they sounded similar. Could be due to the fact that I'm European, though, and not all that finely tuned when it comes to southern twangs.

    I can't be the only one that thinks Brad sounds like Siegmeyer of Catarina when he does his "hmm" right? Haha. I'm sure there's a thread somewhere but seriously, that's all I hear when he makes that sound. I know it's probably way past the point but a supercut from Jeremy Medina of every time Brad goes "hm" mixed with Siegmeyer's "hm" would be pretty great, not gonna lie lol. That's my unnecessary two cents.
