Homer Simpson is one of the “celebrity” voices that you can buy for your Tom Tom personal GPS device. What a weird thing to have. It costs $12.95, and then you can pretend like a fictional buffoon who is terrible to his children is telling you when to turn. Perfect. You will be living the dream! It sounds like this:
Yup. That is Homer Simpson saying the stuff GPS machines say. They nailed it. I went to the site to find out who some of the other celebrity voices were, but they don’t publish a list, the other only one I could find was John Cleese. John Cleese? So at least we know they’re making smart decisions. When I get a Tom Tom, and a car to put a Tom Tom in, I’m going to make it talk like Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood. I TURN YOUR CARSHAKE. I TURN IT LEFT. Is that joke right on time and super not played out? Good. (Via 50Cent.livejournal.com.)

Have you guys ever noticed how adorable Zooey Deschanel is?
Every night in my dreams.
I hate you Ben Gibbard…
It’s like, how much more Zooey could this be? And the answer is none. None more Zooey.

“Dude Where’s My Car” edition with alternating line reads by Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott.
The title of this post sounds like engrish.
when i read “i turn your carshake i turn it left.,” i immediately decided to try it by saying it out loud in my B- daniel plainview voice. this was a bad idea because i work in an office and now everyone here thinks i am insane.
i guarantee at least one of the secretaries is thinking “i’m not sure that’s even the correct quote!”
It will be awesome if unstead of reapitng “recalculating” it would just go on repeating “Duh” “Duh” “Duh”
morgan freeman. end of discussion.
They’ve got Mister T, too. And, I think, Mister Feenie from Boy Meets World. Which is great, because I’ve always felt my directions lacked more curmudgeonly wisdom. And/or gold chains.
If you think of it less like Mr Feeney from Boy Meets World and more like Kit from Knight Rider (same dude!), it kind of seems freaking awesome.
Would a Tom Tom Waits be counter-productive?
My friends bought a TomTom GPS so that they could have Mr. T provide them with directions wherever they went. Looks like you can also get Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Gary Busey … There’s a list of voices here: http://www.navtones.com/magento/products/tomtom
What am I supposed to make of the fact that the only free voice in that list is the super-gay one? Real question.
They’ve got GARY BUSEY! How do you ever top that?
I’m glad that:
1. I never ride in cars
2. I’m not friends with jackasses.
3. I will never have to endure riding in a car with a jackass who owns this. Syllogism!
I would drive my car off a pier if Willem Defoe was telling me to…
Right on time. Not even close to played out – we’ve got years left on that.
Clint Eastwood would be fantastic, particularly his Gran Torino grumpy, old self.
My Tom Tom speaks in the voice of Carl from Slingblade. “Ahead exit riiiiiiiggggghhhttt”; “You’ve reached your destination, I suppose you didn’t kill nobody”! WTF?
Anyway, John Cleese and Gary Busey sound pretty incredible. Gonna look into those!
What if you bought all the voices for your Tom Tom and then they all argued about the directions?
My boyfriend has good ole Burt Reynolds as his Tom Tom voice setting. How could The Bandit let you down?
an excitable tracy morgan would be excellent.
and by excellent i mean a sure fire way to total your car out of uncontrollable fits of laughter.
