Current Events > TIL Mike Judge voices Boomhauer

(+) Yeah! (+)

Idk Why it took me 20 years to google this.

The origin of Boomhauer is absolutely hilarious. The angry voicemail that he talked about on a talk show leaked

Mike talking about it:

Cotton Hill, Khan Souphanousinphone and Joe Jack from Strickland Propane are all voiced by the same guy too

Oh I thought it was widely known he voiced multiple characters like many of the Simpsons voice actors do.

This was a great scene

lmfao

I never watched Beavis & Butthead so when there was a guy whose voice clip I heard on the show that was 100% Hank Hill I had to investigate.

I just learned that one a few days ago lmao. My wife paused and said .yeah I can hear it.

I'm surprised a voicemail from the 90s is in such high audio quality.

And it took a long time for me to realize that Cotton/Kahn/etc were voiced by Artie the strongest man in the world.

Omfg this actually made me laugh so hard I have tears in my eyes

The top comment on the Porky's Butthole video analyzing the call is absolutely hilarious

Hes been calling to complain for over a month, tired of seeing the same show (Porky's Bu*thole), so often.
He tuned in to watch last night, and it was Porkys freakin ol' Bu*thole, over and over, until the early morning.
He doesn't understand why they would think kids want to watch Porky's bu*thole over and over.
He was up all day watching this channel from 7:30 to night and the shows were always late, because of commercials.
Hes tired of the commercials. Specifically, he repeatedly complains they cause the shows to be 5 minutes late.
He wants to complain to the FCC to try to get the whole station shut down (it sounds like, because of the commercials).
He further doesnt understand why there has to be so many ads for so long. It's not like kids are going to rush out to buy armloads of stuff they see in the commercials, just because they appear so frequently.

Dang 'ol Boomhauer here isn't calling to complain about Beavis & Bu*thead like Mike Judge thought, he was tuning in to watch Looney Tunes at a specific time, like 7:30 right on time. But, the last show, also Looney Tunes, hadn't ended yet, so he ends up watching right as Porky Pig is giving the "That's all folks!" outro against the famous concentric red circular backdrop - in what I would assume this guy thinks looks like a bu*thole. Thus: Porky's Bu*thole. Then it goes straight to commercials for 5 minutes and the episode that he was planning on watching doesn't start until 7:35.

So he's complaining that the episodes are offset and he keeps tuning in at what he thinks is the beginning, but it's actually the end of the last episode when Porky is saying the show is over.

In the 90s Looney Tunes aired on Nickelodeon, which was owned by Viacom along with MTV. So it's conceivable that he was trying to reach Nickelodeon (which explains why it's primarily kids toy commercial he keeps getting), and ended up reaching someone at Viacom who assumed it must have something to do with Beavis and Bu*thead and forwarded it to Judge.

I was just thinking the other day to myself but is Mike Judge kinda underrated?

Like this is whats under his belt:
B&B
KotH
Silicone Valley
Office Space
Idiocracy
Extraction

The only miss he had that I can think of was The Goode Family. That was pretty bad
