You can do whatever you want in life.


Speaking of toys, Onstad is asking for people of all trades (an exorcist even rofl) but I'm most excited for the Horologist (I want a simple, no frills Beef Watch.. and a Ray one that writes a blog about your day.. maybe use the AI for this?) and Toy designers/Makers. I'd love a litte articulated Ray with a tiny martini glass, detachable King Chochacho Medallion, maybe even a spare thong to be stolen by Todd.

It's crazy that people got mad about what is basically a toy.

I think its neat that a fake Ray can answer a dumb question, and it sorta basically sounds like if Onstad was writing it.

I wonder if everyone was this loving cranky when the eggs and milk minder was up? I hope they knew it was a dang joke too. For laffs.

I can't believe Onstad would do this!



Also I'm ambivalent over 'AI can produce funny' as I got a lot of laughs having the 'UnlimitedSteam' twitch stream playing in the background a month or two back, Chalmers and Skinner voiced AI bots endlessly rehashing the 'Steamed Hams' scene but with all manner of weird foods and strange happenings. The fact that Skinner in the original script says 'Ye Gods' and 'delightfully devilish, Seymour', meant the chat generator took that to often springboard off to Skinner going into long monologues beseeching the Gods or the Devil for assistance in the kitchen.

There were hundreds of the sketches generated, there's an archive of just a few of them here:

https://www.youtube.com/@UnlimitedSteamArchive/videos

Of course you still need to human-curate the output and have final say on what runs on your stream, as this project discovered when Skinner decided he was cooking 'The Steamed Ashkenazi Jews' and the stream was permabanned :o:

man to each their own I guess because toby huss rules and the inflection of "oh that's right! I put two thousand flushes in the toilet last night!" has been making me laugh for years

I didn't like his Ray...yet the read (and arm motion) of "but in a way that will be too strong for some people", "yawn yawn yawny yawn", and "come look at my toilet dude" live in my skull forever for some reason.

Other thing I can't shake: the blogs only saga where Ray horrified everyone by eating a series of weirder and weirder meats at an asian restaurant , culminating in him basically swallowing an entire live bird. Either Beef or Teodor wrote about it at length, while the only comment ray made was "I ate something that disagreed with me a couple of days ago".

Oh gently caress I didn't know it was Toby Huss! I guess credit to him as a voice actor because I didn't pick up any hints of him in it. Still doesn't sound like Ray to me.

Maybe Ray's voice is just a platonic ideal that exists in my head and neither AI or voice acting will ever replicate it.

I remember years ago reading an article or interview with Onstad and he said that Toby Huss tried out his Ray-voice and Onstad told him something like, "That's close! Now make him 20lbs heavier and from three blocks over"

The Charlie Brown strip was great, and the new Charlie Brown prose piece was great. They're already churning out new Peanuts books without Schultz, might as well bring Onstad on board.
