#‘DADDY! YOU’RE BACK FROM PERU! oh papa we thought you’d been run over by a elevator’ has been in my mind a lot lately too even though i

For the polls, do you prefer to judge based on the quality of the joke (if there is one), or the intensity of the yell? Personally, I like a healthy mix of both.

Also, thanks for running this poll! I'm a big fan of voice acting and love hearing all these instances of Mel Blanc putting his whole puthy into it.

HONESTLY there really isn’t a preference! “best” can mean so many things, and so i thought it would be best and maybe a little less mind breaking to leave it up to subjectivity. maybe its what you find is the funniest through the sound! maybe its what you find most impressive! maybe its what benefits the context most—i try to offer at least a few seconds of context beforehand if applicable, since its very helpful to know where these screams are coming from? but i try not to give too much away either to prevent bias by context… if that’s even possible

BUT YEAH, i find my priorities change! rest assured that with each poll i’ve cast a mental ballot for which i personally would vote for… SO YEAH, sometimes it is intensity, sometimes it’s elaborateness, sometimes it’s contrast or even marriage against/to the context… sometimes its something as transparent as “i like this character” (🐖🦆) but i don’t advise purely judging off of that since that’s admittedly very transparent and not much about the yell quality at all HAHA. so don’t be me! or do! preferably don’t!

AND OF COURSE!! i’m a broken record, but i’m really glad this has been so successful so far! i love reading everyone’s tags and perspective on these. especially since i’ve seen some of these cartoons/examples SOOOO many times that its really nice to see it through a fresh pair of eyes! LIKEWISE it scratches many itches for me HAHA: scratches the itch to prop up what a crazy talented voice actor he was, scratches the itch to get some funny clips out that i hope will be enjoyed, scratches the itch to educate from a historical lens on demonstrating which radio (or real life!) catchphrases were popular at the time, or from the historical lens of just seeing how his voice had evolved, how the VOICE direction evolves, how the tone and direction of the shorts evokes, etc! SO! multiple plusses. i also love making lists and categories to a degree of obsession, so its helpful there too HAHA.

thanks for playing along!! i'm most excited to see what the results narrow down to because at this point, i really don't know!
