Ran, I have to tell you -- when I heard "My Precious" uttered in the Zoidberg voice, I really had a difficult f_cking time keeping the camera stable. Without ANY doubt, to me, and most of the audience, that was the absolute best! I was VERY fortunate to attend to host a dinner, where Billy West and John DiMaggio joined me for a three and a half hour dinner with my nephew and friends. We laughed our asses off. I wish I could have recorded it. Thanks for watching! - Alfred
You are welcome. I was so pissed off because I left the damn monopod at home, so I did the best I can to keep the camera stable; I did a little post processing on the audio track to bring up the levels too. Glad you enjoyed the recording!
If I were to win the lottery, I’d hire West and DiMaggio (and some other voice actors too) to create a comical audiobook version of the Lord of the Rings. Thanks for uploading this gem!
My pleasure. So glad I did, and so glad to see everyone enjoying it. I will say, it was a real thrill to be in the audience up front. I did have the opportunity to take John DiMaggio and Billy West out to a nice restaurant that evening with some other friends. We went for over 3 hours, and laughed our asses off. Good times. In retrospect, I wish I would have taken some video at dinner, but I didn't want to be rude to my guests and shove a camera in their face. But, for what it's worth, some great memories -- and at least we got the footage from their session. NEXT TIME, however, I will bring my monopod -- my arm was falling off towards the end, so sorry about the camera shake!!!
Crystal Smith Yes, we went to Capitol Grill, if I recall correctly. So crazy when they would go into all of their different voices -- and I had them laughing a bit as well :)
That truly was gold -- so glad to have captured it. In retrospect, I really wish I had the damn monopod - which was rotting in the car, just to get a more stable video -- but damn, some parts I was cracking up and shaking the camera. Glad you got a few smiles -- what a brilliant and talented group of people!
I would love to see this done in Futurama, so they have to get back together for at least another season or twelve, right? Thanks for this, I stayed up waaaay past my bedtime to finish the whole thing. All of them are soooo talented, nerds wet dream.
Ahh, John DiMaggio's Bender singing the Bilbo Baggins song was almost too much for my little nerd heart to take. Very nicely done Alfred, we do appreciate this ^.^
It was, just a little bummed she kept doing it when it wasn't needed. People laughed so hard the first time she kept doing it to try and get laughs. Amazing impression though.
Fashionable late to the party, I know, but had to say thank you for posting this. You just made my night. Eternally grateful for you holding your phone/camera for an hour and taping the whole thing. Spectacular!
Scott, what REALLY drove me crazy was that I left the monopod in the car and it was just too long a trek through the convention center and parking lot to get it. I was VERY fortunate to have John and Billy as my dinner guests later that night - I wish I could have streamed the dinner -- the jokes and assorted voices were truly amazing.

This was already funny, but when the time came for Pikachu as Bilbo it became legendary. Especially with Professor Farnsworth as Gandalf. "Good news, everyone!" "PIKAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" "A-wha?"
This was funny. Too bad most of it was taken up by the girl in the black hat. I swear that from behind she looks like my mother, who has a similar hat and hair. :) I realize the shaky camera couldn't be helped. :) Thanks for making this available to those of us who can't attend such fun events. :) Thanks so much for sharing. I love Billy West and John DiMaggio. That bit with Paul Lynn was hilarious.
"All right. Let's get serious here. Uh-pe-pe-puh-pepeh-uh-precious?" xD That made my life. God, I love Billy West. Also, John DiMaggio's impression of Paul Lynde is one of my very favorite things in life.
Someone should animate the whole lord of the rings with Zoidberg as Gollum
Id watch and love every second of it
muskatDR oh hell yeah.
Or zoidberg as every character
"Zoidberg is Gollum"
YES.

One does not simply bite my shiny metal ass.
GodzillaSonic19 Shut up and take my money!
Meat Balls! Meat Balls everywhere!
I'm 60% shiny metal ass.
These guys should make this an audio book. I swear it will be the most sold object in this decade.
Object? It's called an audio-book for a reason Mate.
Carlton Carlson Jr. He was implying it would sell more than objects that aren't just Audio Books.
Back in my day audio books came on tapes or CDs
James Adams k, bye
Thanks for holding the freakin camera without a tripod for an hour to capture this stuff to share with us all. You're the salt of the earth.
You are welcome. It was really worth it -- the entire team did such a great job! I'm so glad everyone is able to watch this golden hour of comedy!
Why are you watching it for an hour? it's people on a stage just listen to it.
Bruce Wayne Did you even look at Christina Vee's cleavage?
+AFA FAFA Nice!
I can't be the salt anymore -- low sodium diet, you know...
Amazing. Just amazing. Clicked the link out of curiosity, cancelled a dinner-date to watch the whole thing.
You know you can pause, right?
... Shit.
Theodore Roosevelt shouldn't you be doing manly things like wrestling bears and fixing America?
***** Teaching people about the pause button IS manly. It saves many relationships.
Theodore Roosevelt I wish I would have read this comment before breaking up with my girlfriend. Fuck. -__-
Zoidberg as Golem: 18:00
@6:50 if you just want to go right into the script.
You're a hero
"The ring abandoned Gollum..."
"Awww....."
Someone needs to animate this.
YES!! YES!! AND MORE YES!!!
I WOULD WILLINGLY PAY SOMEONE TO ANIMATE THIS
MewStache To Kickstarter!
Can we revive this request?
If I didn't have to go to work; I totally would!
Bill and John had so much fun doing this!
Billy West was Born to be a voice actor such carisma glad i got a chance to meet him in Brisbane last year
You are welcome. I was so pissed off because I left the damn monopod at home, so I did the best I can to keep the camera stable; I did a little post processing on the audio track to bring up the levels too. Glad you enjoyed the recording!
I kept losing it when Billy was doing Zoidberg for Gollum. Too funny
If I were to win the lottery, I’d hire West and DiMaggio (and some other voice actors too) to create a comical audiobook version of the Lord of the Rings.
Thanks for uploading this gem!
Mr. Flibble Glad you enjoyed it! Such a fun time!!
Hearing Fry as Frodo really made my day!!
We didn't deserve this but we needed it. I am in love with this omg. My favorite movie franchise with my favorite TV show.
It was so much fun to watch this happened. Glad you enjoyed the video!
18:00 this is what you all been waiting for
Yanni223 OMFG We went nuts when he said that!!!
This is fucking excellent. The conversation between Zapp and Wesker is god-like. I'm glad this was recorded for posterity.
Ran, I REALLY had a tough time holding the camera stable when he did "My Precious" with the Zoidberg voicing. Incredibly funny. Glad you enjoyed it.
These are so much fun to watch! Thanks for uploading this!
Props for hold the cam man! The audio isnt as bad as I thought it would be either.
Thanks, Mash. This indeed was gold, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for recording this

Crystal Smith Yes, we went to Capitol Grill, if I recall correctly. So crazy when they would go into all of their different voices -- and I had them laughing a bit as well :)
adiblasi wow
This was absolutely amazing. Thank you for this
That truly was gold -- so glad to have captured it. In retrospect, I really wish I had the damn monopod - which was rotting in the car, just to get a more stable video -- but damn, some parts I was cracking up and shaking the camera. Glad you got a few smiles -- what a brilliant and talented group of people!
billy west and john DiMaggio are just fuckin around
I pulled so many muscles laughing as hard as I did. The best video on the internet by far. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi Kenny - this was an open session, and wow, it was a lot of fun. I attend MegaCon every year - always a good time!
I would love to see this done in Futurama, so they have to get back together for at least another season or twelve, right? Thanks for this, I stayed up waaaay past my bedtime to finish the whole thing. All of them are soooo talented, nerds wet dream.
Zoidberg as Gollum...Killing myself laughing!
I have to say, I REALLY had a tough time holding the camera when he uttered "My Precious" in the Zoidberg voicing. Tremendous!
The "Act like your asleep" bit my family started 35+ years ago.
Great bit just before mom takes a pic Christmas morning.
Mr. DiMaggio makes the best Paul Lynde impression. Very tasteful
Cindy, being in my 50's, when John went into 'Paul Lynde' mode, I really had trouble holding the camera. I was busting up!
Yeah, I could tell when you were laughing. XD XD XD
53:17 to 53:54 is where the best part is
7:10 to 7:39 was also a good part too
Ahh, John DiMaggio's Bender singing the Bilbo Baggins song was almost too much for my little nerd heart to take. Very nicely done Alfred, we do appreciate this ^.^
When the chick does Pikachu... That was amazing.
It was, just a little bummed she kept doing it when it wasn't needed. People laughed so hard the first time she kept doing it to try and get laughs. Amazing impression though.
Fashionable late to the party, I know, but had to say thank you for posting this. You just made my night. Eternally grateful for you holding your phone/camera for an hour and taping the whole thing. Spectacular!

I'm so glad this was recorded and put on the Internet. I love it.
who ever shouted that zoidburg should be Golem on behalf of all of nerdom i thank thee
Billy West doing the voice of Twilight Sparkle. My life is complete.
When Paul Lind happened, I'm pretty sure my soul exploded. 29:26
Best part of the video: Zoideberg saying "My Preeeecious" Worst part: that girl's sparkly hat in front.
This was awesom! XD
thank you for sharing such a great video
and great job to all the voice actors :)
We need us a Stewie Griffen, Homer Simpson, The Professor, and Roger the Alien and we have ourselves a perfect reading set.
This might be the most amazing thing I've seen on youtube in the last six months.
7:10 Once he said "The world has changed" I just laughed to the point of crying. I only just started!
Sounds like Stimpy.😂
@@willh4570 he is Stimpy's voice actor after all. It's very entertaining.
why does this not have 100million views?
Thank you for the gift of this video.

You sat there for an hour holding up a camera with no tripod? Wow...that's pretty impressive
worth it just to hear zoidberg as gollum
2020 and I'm still showing this to people
Hi Doc, this really was a special treat to witness it live. I’m glad you’re enjoying the video!
Thanks for filming this, not sure if it made my day or my life! :D
Billy: Doesnt wanna do a voice thatll make him swear.
Everyone else: *INNUENDO!*
Holy shit Billy West’s Tara Strong was so spot on I had to back it up to see who was actually talking
Zoidburg as Gollum gave me belly laughs while I'm trying to go to bed
That was an awesome moment indeed!
I love all the innuendo they worked into the lines with Bilbo.
Great stuff, but we needed more of professor Farnsworth as Gandalf. One line only is just a tease!
Ladies and Gents......Lord of the Rings Abridged XD
With all these voices and characters someone could make a show, Something futuristic!
Yes, holy crap, I had trouble holding the camera I was laughing my ass off!
Oh man, I am totally loving this, epicness lol
+Erik Segura Good times - and holy shit over 250,000 views. Nice.
Awwww man, I thought wesker was going to say "seven rings, seven rings is all I can spare to play with the dwarves"
I have never laughed as much as I did on the Paul Lynde bit.
Billy West as Tara Strong....YES!!!
Hoooooo., Boy. This was phenomenal! Loved it!
This was already funny, but when the time came for Pikachu as Bilbo it became legendary. Especially with Professor Farnsworth as Gandalf.
"Good news, everyone!"
"PIKAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
"A-wha?"
The best part is, I can totally see Zoidberg being Gollum.
This was funny. Too bad most of it was taken up by the girl in the black hat. I swear that from behind she looks like my mother, who has a similar hat and hair. :)
I realize the shaky camera couldn't be helped. :) Thanks for making this available to those of us who can't attend such fun events. :) Thanks so much for sharing.
I love Billy West and John DiMaggio. That bit with Paul Lynn was hilarious.
Paul Lynde* and I was dying xD
I remembered how to spell it later. :)
Bilbo as Pikachu! Best thing ever!
FUCKING GENIUS
This was awesome! Thanks for posting!!!!
Who the hell downvotes this glorious combonation...
I sense a 9gagger
37:40 "I know Gandalf, what the hell?"
Yes, I saw that. What a bummer.
Odd that Tara Strong never showed, but still hilarious.
THIS NEEDS TO BE AN ACTUAL FUTURAMA FILM!!!!!!! :D
"All right. Let's get serious here. Uh-pe-pe-puh-pepeh-uh-precious?"
xD That made my life. God, I love Billy West.
Also, John DiMaggio's impression of Paul Lynde is one of my very favorite things in life.
I can barely contain my nerdgasm.
The Paul Lynn bit had me in stitches.
I was thinking the same thing what Bender said about the misty mountain :P
Hahaha, magnificent!!
For Pikachu go here --> 41:10 it's fuckin hilarious
Yah! Zappa Brannigan & Zoidberg! Thanks for uploading this :)
The whole 18:52 part is the best
If anyone animates all of this, it would be amazing
WHEN I HEARD THE RADDAS I KNEW WHAT VIDEO I WAS GONNA WATCH NEXT
Who IS that sexy girl with that beautiful voice?
... oh wait, never mind. That's Billy West.
Sweet! Thanks for this!
I never thought I would hear Stimpy tell the tale of the Rings of Power.
I've started watching this from 44:00 probably 15 times now. So fucking funny.
+dankap i died, the pikachu death cry
omg after Pikachu as Bilbo I am totally in love with that woman
ZOIDBERG!!!!!
It starts at 6:51 :)
Billy west did a line of coke just before entering the stage.
Zoidberg as Golem is the best thing ever.
Someone needs to animate this!
I would like to see these guys do Shakespeare.
hey everyone its the guy who plays Slick on Furturama!
40:48 PIKACHU BILBO
DiMaggio always looks like he's pissed off for some reason.
