00:12tom kenny test test listen to my new voice i'm like a silicon based julio iglesias
00:20number 10 mr hal gibson super robot monkey team hyperforce go in this forgotten disney classic
00:28tom lends a sophisticated british accent to the monkey team's chief scientist mr hal gibson
00:35though he prefers just gibson i am mr hal gibson do not call me mister or hal just gibson the only
00:42thing sharper than gibson's intellect is his drills which come equipped with many handy features to
00:48cut skeleton king's forces to the quick being the team's self-proclaimed genius gibson often
00:54finds himself at odds with the hot-headed sparks or the laid-back otto oh how about
01:00the spin shocker spin shocker please it's not a dance move he can't tell if the latter is an
01:08idiot or not regardless there's no team he'd rather be a part of than the hyperforce and
01:14no one could capture his posh precise personality other than tom kenny oh careful those beakers are
01:21full of explosive chemicals number nine heifer wolf rocco's modern life rocco's modern life was
01:29tom kenny's first major step as a voice actor and he was given a chance to show off his talent by
01:35playing multiple roles i'm living in canoga park with joyce here say hello hi nice to meet you
01:41you should visit us sometime mom that's not your mom among them was the title character's best
01:48friend heifer wolf heifer may not be the smartest steer but he's definitely the hungriest hence why
01:54he's constantly mistaken for a cow usually heifer's appetite and obliviousness makes him a nuisance to
02:01everyone around him namely rocco chef he came to nearly 40 bucks you know there's something about
02:08restaurant ketchup despite this he usually means well and stands by his friends whenever they need
02:16him especially if they have food with them plus how could we not be thankful to heifer for helping
02:21to jumpstart kenny's voice acting legacy well old pal till our paths cross again
02:28see you tomorrow rock number eight commander peepers wander over yonder lord hater's goal in
02:35life is to become the greatest villain in the galaxy but let's be real he'd be lost without
02:41commander peepers you're right lord hater ah if you ask me i should be the one in charge
02:47while cp's loyalty to hater is unquestioned he's clearly the brains of the outfit he's
02:53practically haters babysitter most of the time trying and failing to get his leader to focus
02:59on the task at hand and ignore wander's shenanigans and yet peepers is just as
03:04short-tempered as his boss and can't help but blow his top when things spiral out of control
03:12that's it who cares about the cul-de-sac the galaxy is in danger of course kenny excellently
03:19captures peepers is calm nature most of the time and absolutely explodes when peepers is pushed
03:25to his limit we're left in stitches every time you yes sir pick this thing up and throw it at
03:32yourself but sir my bag do it number seven star scream transformers animated what do you want
03:40now star scream only to wish you luck my lease chris latta's shrill voice for star scream is one
03:50of the most iconic voices of the original transformers cartoon and it takes a talented
03:55voice to fill his shoes thankfully in transformers animated tom kenny fit the bill perfectly for the
04:01traitorous decepticon his high-pitched slimy delivery blends well with star screams arrogant
04:07scheming personality while also adding a much-needed dramatic flair maybe i'd have better
04:13luck removing these stasis cuffs if you had bothered to reattach my head to my body things
04:19get crazier when the star scream clones come into play each one giving kenny a chance to shine
04:25voicing an exaggerated part of the original's personality except for the one female clone
04:30voiced by tara strong don't ask where she came from so which part of me did you come from don't
04:37ask this is going to be a long orbital cycle number six scaramouche the merciless samurai jack
04:46the 2017 revival of samurai jack brings us 50 years since the original show's conclusion along
04:53with the cult of aku jack finds himself face to face with a new recurring foe aku's best assassin
05:00scaramouche the merciless the pied piper of ruination the crooner of carnage the ambassador
05:07of annihilation the eradicator of all baby for an assassin who fights with his musical voice
05:14no one was better fit for the part than tom kenny he brought the role to life with a swinging sammy
05:19davis jr impression including scatting and most of his sentences hey you might have destroyed my
05:25magic flute but you can't destroy the musical magic that is me babe even when he's reduced to
05:33a severed head scaramouche is determined to prove why he's aku's favorite sadly he's not immune to
05:40his master's wrath when he makes a mistake number five the mayor of townsville the powerpuff girls
05:52it was hard to decide which of kenny's biggest roles in the powerpuff girls would make the list
05:57we absolutely love his comic book like enthusiasm as the narrator
06:06those little scamps are so adorable how we just love the powerpuff girls but ultimately we have
06:13to tip our hats to the mayor of townsville he's a jolly fellow but more than a little scatterbrained
06:19with an obsession for pickles don't worry mayor we'll have that jar open in a jiffy hey unwield my
06:26pickles you fiend why that's grounds for immediate incarceration he's always ready to call on the
06:33powerpuff girls when the city is in danger or if he needs help opening a pickle jar he may be a
06:39little nuts but it's hard to not love this silly little man the goofy voice tom gives him is just
06:45icing on the cake hello mayor good day miss bellum how is every little thing
06:56pencil go snap number four spyro the dragon spyro the dragon franchise whoa rough landing
07:05hi which way's the
07:09beach the titular cocky purple dragon has had multiple voices over the years
07:14including elijah wood carlos elizraki and jess harnell to name a few of course one of his most
07:20recurring voice actors was none other than tom kenny who took over the role from ripto's rage
07:26to enter the dragonfly they sure do look happy don't they spiral well it's not every day that
07:32a dragon gets his dragonfly many years later he returned to the role in the reignited trilogy
07:38and continued voicing him since it's only fitting that tom kenny would get so many chances to voice
07:44spyro as he captures the dragon's youthful energy and cartoon spunkiness while keeping
07:49him grounded enough to be relatable to the younger and older players you know what they say
07:54for every good battle you need a good adversary and i felt that nasty in spite of his misguided
08:00nature was a worthy opponent number three eduardo foster's home for imaginary friends
08:07mac blue this is eduardo and he's one of the sweetest and kindest friends we've got here at
08:11foster's he wouldn't hurt a fly see i do scared of them anyway eduardo may look like a tough scary
08:17monster but really he's one of the sweetest most timid imaginary friends you could ever meet while
08:24he's generally a scaredy cat he's super protective of his friends and loved ones and isn't afraid to
08:30lay down the law when he needs to what no way how does scary baby like you i am no study baby this
08:39was a unique role for tom kenny as he portrayed the big guy with a deeper voice and a spanish
08:45accent he even threw in some spanish phrases now and again
08:55while it was a distinct kind of voice it still carried kenny's bubbly personality that made him
09:01recognizable and hearing him pull off a second language makes it all the more impressive number
09:06two simon petrokov aka the ice king adventure time and adventure time fiona and cake arguably
09:14one of tom kenny's most complex roles was simon petrokov from adventure time and his crazed alter
09:20ego the ice king the ice king is everything you'd expect from a tom kenny performance
09:31zany insane and downright hilarious if not somewhat creepy as simon we hear a calmer more
09:39serious tone in kenny's voice and our hearts ache when we watch him slowly turn into the mad king
09:45you have to keep it together simon for her simon you promise even when he's free from the crown's
09:52influence his past continues to haunt him as he becomes a broken depressed man the fact that tom
09:58can perfectly capture both halves of the series's most tragic villain is only further proof of his
10:04range as an actor this magic keeps me alive but it's making me crazy and i need to save you
