      Loved that show as a kid. Lots of screaming on that show.
      West was originally just Stimpy (sounds virtually the same as Fry) but he had to take over as both Ren and Stimpy because John K. had to leave for being a terrible human being.
      Another moment where my childhood turned into a "love the art, hate the artist" situation.

    Its actually really fucking cool to see someone like Billy West give Seth MacFarlane some respect for his work.

    Its cool to see Seth get some love from a legacy voice actor.

      Sort of. Originally, Zapp was going to be voiced by Phil Hartman, but unfortunately he was murdered right before he could. So, West stepped in to take his place, and out of respect for his friend, modeled the voice after Hartman's.

      It sounds more throatier and guttural than Zapp’s more smooth and mock-refined voice. They do have a similar deep pitch though.

    I never realized it before, but Billy West's real voice sounds a lot like Mark Hamill! Maybe he could get paid double by getting a job doing the voice of Mark Hamill doing the voice of the Joker or something -- or triple by doing the voice of Billy West doing the voice of Mark Hamill doing the voice of the Joker... who could maybe plot a crime involving him replacing the voice of Larry Fine in a 3 Stooges short with the voice of Stimpson J. Catt, whose voice has been replaced by...
