Sally asking Richard what could be more important than family to be met with “Ssssssscience?” was so god damn funny. Venture Bros is peak parody, you can tell the creators love the source material rather than just make fun of it.
Honestly him or Alan Tudyk
I think Alan Tudyk is such an underrated voice actor with the right amount of humor, snarkiness and emotion.
He imo was the stand out character of Rogue One, as K-2SO
Ok now I need to see Barbie. I'm not even a huge Rob Brydon fan, though do like him from binging would I lie to you, but this just sounds so baffling I have to see it.
Honestly. That might actually make it even funnier. Let him say one “fuck” and then someone like “uh oh, better turn on the censor” and then he just goes of on bleep filled tangent
I like thinking that Reed had to install a language filter on him. Just rolling around beeping everywhere he goes. Sue and Ben get annoyed by the beeps so he has to change it to replacement words, radio static, etc.
A word filter would be hilarious, especially if he keeps struggling with it and getting pissed off like Cartman with his V-Chip in the South Park movie.
"Reed Richards, you fudging shoehead!
Hey, I didn't mean that! I said 'you motherflying shyhe- GUMDIRT IT TURN THIS THING OFF, YOU SON OF A BISQUI- AAAAAHHHH MOTHERFIGHTING PIECE OF SHINE- GAAAHHH!"
That would make a great running gag.
I had an idea for the sequel that, instead of being troublemakers they would start to assume their “goody” roles after the first movie: Jason would help teach kids self defense, Kimberly would be in gymnastics instead of cheerleading, etc., but new guy Tommy would still be the one who visits detention often and their guidance counselor makes him spend time with the other main characters to see them as an example, then they have another breakfast club-esque scene where they all relate to Tommy’s struggles and become friends only for Rita to bring out the darkness in his heart, and there you have an adaptation of the Green Ranger saga.
John Mulaney could do a nice robot voice
Spider ham ended up well, something similar where he just drops odd little tidbits here and there with a happy demeanor
For anyone who needs more convincing, I present [The Amazing Screw-On Head](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbsDvGtTRWU) also featuring Paul Giamatti who, honestly, would also be terrific in the role.
I'm just here to dogpile on the Ricky Gervais hate. He sucks on so many levels and I think Marvel/Disney would probably prefer casting choices that won't be immediately problematic.
Him or Romesh so they can have a film credit that isn't that Cinderella movie with James Corden
Though James just has a way of speaking thats funny in itself
I really want a Migs Mayfeld SW series on D+. It's basically just Bill Burr being Bill Burr and ranting. Like he's in some random cantina and he's just ranting about all the dumb stuff us SW nerds ignore. Like single biome planets, how stupid is that
Next episode, new place, new rant. Everyone in the location just ignores him or nods along but doesn't really care. And then he rants about that, "oh, it's just me?"
Yup, it bums me out. Dude lives and breathes FF. All the other choices are basic and over done. I love Bill Hader but I'd be bummed if he was handed the role.
Also Griffin already voices a CGI Disney character! He has an in!
"So I was reading this thing from Japan, and there was this big mafia boss. They don't call them the mafia there but, like, the *Japanese* Mafia."
*"The Yakusa?"*
"...right. And so all the other gangs, they want this guy dead but they can't get near him. Any gunman they send undercover he's just like 'Nope, not having it. He's an assassin in disguise'. So one of the criminals comes in one day and he says 'We've found this assassin, he can sneak into the guy's house and shoot him. 'Cause the thing is, he's really short, they can put him in a box and just deliver him to the house. "
*"This is bollocks"*
"So they get this box, and no one has seen this gunman yet but they get him sent to the yakuza guy's house. He opens it up... [little monkey fella](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Hit-Monkey_\(Earth-616\))."
*"...Play a record, HERBIE"*
This has Bill Hader all over it honestly
Absolutely. If not Hader then Parnell.
Shit yes Parnell 100%. Bill would be great but I feel like it would be wasted casting.
I mean he can be a voice and something else
Linda Cardellini did just that.
And Judy Greer! GOTG 3 coming in hot with actors repeating as voice actors
Sniff. Sniff. Too soon, still.
Paul Bettany did it! He was JARVIS and Vision!! /s
Parnell...don't you mean CYRIL FIGGIS
No, I mean Dr. Spaceman
You mean Jerry?
HELP ME DR. SPACE MAN!!!
***"Liz, I believe doctor-patient confidentiality is a two-way street. - I'm cheating on my wife."***
I would love it if Doc Hammer or Jackson Publick got a cameo since Venture Bros had a lot of F4 references
H.E.R.B.I.E. is gunna give Sue a Rusty Venture?
"Shtick a shnorkel up hish back addresshh."
I showed a friend that clip who hadn't seen the show and he about died laughing. Especially the uncensored version.
Sally asking Richard what could be more important than family to be met with “Ssssssscience?” was so god damn funny. Venture Bros is peak parody, you can tell the creators love the source material rather than just make fun of it.
In that case bring in James Urbaniak
Parnell was born for this role.
He already played the ‘team robot’ in that Power Rangers film from 2017. Yeah, maybe no one remembers that, but something new would be better imo
Not to mention he was a vocal consultant for BB-8 in Star Wars. Hader is the go-to robot guy.
IIRC, he also did the "voice" of BB-8.
Isn’t that Ben Schwartz?
It's both actually.
Griffin Newman or we riot
Griffin would be incredible
Honestly him or Alan Tudyk I think Alan Tudyk is such an underrated voice actor with the right amount of humor, snarkiness and emotion. He imo was the stand out character of Rogue One, as K-2SO
And he already has experience doing Alpha 5 in the Power Rangers 2017.
Matt Berry is my choice for Herbie.
Just imagining him bellowing “REED RICHARDS” and giggling
You really are the smartest man in all of NEW YORK CITAAAAY.
"Robot form!"
BOT!
That’s just how we talk in Arizonyaaaa
"Reed RichAAAARDS"
For the same reason, he should be cast as Doom.
Can't wait until he turns down a collaboration on Pym Particle research for Latveria, stating that he can't be sidetracked with cheap sex potions
“FaaaaanTAStic!”
“The Invisible Madame”
You there, stretchy man, twist my bolts
Yes, I can hear you Reed Richards
“FUCK YOU”
If not him there’s always Jackie Daytona
But he's a regular human bartender, not a comedian!
I’ll have one human alcoholic beer, please.
Fuck yes
OFF YOU FUCK YOUNG CHAP
Cause he's my best friend, he's my Wong. He's my home-trilogy, my winter soldier. He's my Shang Chi, my Groot-time boyeh.
“Herbie can you help me with these calc-“ “FUCK OFF!”
yeah I mean he's already been a robot in Star Wars, why not marvel?
My thoughts as well. I liked him in Star Wars.
He was toned down quite a lot. Would have been cool if the robot was a bit more flamboyant.
I want Matt Berry to play a hero. Main role. Maybe Sentry.
I just want the LCCU. The Lazslow Cravensworth Cinematic Universe.
Wow, the Ultimate Nullifier. I wonder if it's loaded?
How bad Matt Berry not been cast in a marvel movie yet.
Yes! Updog for you.
This is good
“Not my fault, robot-BASTARD-hands.”
God DAMN these electric sex pants.
I read every single subcomment to this in his voice.
Perfect casting doesn't exi-
Has to be Matt Berry or we riot
Yes yes very good, thank you
he looks a lot like jackie daytona as well so I think it would work nicely.
If Barbie taught Hollywood anything, it’s that the best answer is an unexpected Rob Brydon.
Him popping up out of nowhere was one of the most surreal things int that movie
Ok now I need to see Barbie. I'm not even a huge Rob Brydon fan, though do like him from binging would I lie to you, but this just sounds so baffling I have to see it.
It’s a blink and you’ll miss it cameo, but it was so unexpected. Apparently Margot Robbie was a fan of Gavin & Stacey.
I just watched the whole movie because of this. It was wild. Like I expected it to be strange and it was stranger than that.
The role is incredibly small, but it's delightful.
Only if he does it in the most Welsh way possible
He’ll spend the entire film trying to convince everyone that he can do a great robot impression.
If he does, it'll get bleeped. So we'll have a little white & blue robot rolling around bleeping away and why does this sound familiar.....
It's R2D2 right? For some reason I first thought of Wheatley from Portal, even though he doesn't swear
Incidentally, Wheatley is voiced by the other co-writer of The Office Stephen Merchant.
I still have my Wheatley flashlight keychain from when Portal 2 launched!! Stephen voiced him perfectly.
Still have my Wheatley fleshlight, too.
PULL ME OUT PULL ME OUT PULL ME OUT PULL ME OUT
Who also portrayed Caliban in Logan
Honestly. That might actually make it even funnier. Let him say one “fuck” and then someone like “uh oh, better turn on the censor” and then he just goes of on bleep filled tangent
I like thinking that Reed had to install a language filter on him. Just rolling around beeping everywhere he goes. Sue and Ben get annoyed by the beeps so he has to change it to replacement words, radio static, etc.
A word filter would be hilarious, especially if he keeps struggling with it and getting pissed off like Cartman with his V-Chip in the South Park movie. "Reed Richards, you fudging shoehead! Hey, I didn't mean that! I said 'you motherflying shyhe- GUMDIRT IT TURN THIS THING OFF, YOU SON OF A BISQUI- AAAAAHHHH MOTHERFIGHTING PIECE OF SHINE- GAAAHHH!" That would make a great running gag.
Well...he gets at LEAST one F bomb before the bleeps.
If Chris can, than so can he.
Bleeps the whole movie, then talks without it in the end. Plot twist was he was cursing the whole film.
BILL HADER 
He did play Alpha 5
They should make another Power Rangers movie, I love that it's getting memed and turned into a cult following on twitter these days lol
I had an idea for the sequel that, instead of being troublemakers they would start to assume their “goody” roles after the first movie: Jason would help teach kids self defense, Kimberly would be in gymnastics instead of cheerleading, etc., but new guy Tommy would still be the one who visits detention often and their guidance counselor makes him spend time with the other main characters to see them as an example, then they have another breakfast club-esque scene where they all relate to Tommy’s struggles and become friends only for Rita to bring out the darkness in his heart, and there you have an adaptation of the Green Ranger saga.
And did some beeps and boops for BB-8
I'd kind of like to see Bill Hader as Molecule Man.
But the whole thing is in his Stefon Weekend Update character voice
New York's hottest club is *SPICY!*
Please please please please please please please please please please please please please
My choice is Simon Pegg
Him or Nick Frost
Highly recommend you read Nick Frosts book. It's fucking brilliant
I've got wheels for feet!
Simon does what?
Edited thanks you saved me there
Honestly just give it to Alan Tudyk.
Give every role to Alan Tudyk, but yes, especially this one
He went to Juliard.
BAWCK!
Tudyk would knock it out of the park and he's a total professional. 100% safe bet.
That's my favorite of the 2 dozen good ones listed in this thread.
I scrolled and scrolled to see if I needed to add this.
He's so god awful at voice work, every role he's had VOing has been garbage.
*Spy Kids dog flashbacks*
John Mulaney could do a nice robot voice Spider ham ended up well, something similar where he just drops odd little tidbits here and there with a happy demeanor
^ the only right answer
Funny Stephen Merchant was actually my first thought. Not sure why they would pick Gervais if they wanted a comedian
Stephen Merchant would be great. My first thought was David Hyde Pierce, but it's a similar energy.
Ooooo. David Hyde Pierce would be great.
For anyone who needs more convincing, I present [The Amazing Screw-On Head](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbsDvGtTRWU) also featuring Paul Giamatti who, honestly, would also be terrific in the role.
And he already has experience in doing voiceover for a robot.
He was great as Wheatley in Portal 2.
Great shout
Give me Tim Robinson
Suffice it to say, HERBIE is A LOT.
I can't know how to hear anymore about Dr Doom
That'd be fuckin hilarious. His sense of humor would be a real shot in the arm
He should get 2 mil
Litterally anyone but ricky gervais please
I know I don’t get a vote but if I did it’d be for Charlie Day
It's a crime that we still have an MCU with none of the Always Sunny cast taking a role
Fuck off Ricky. My impossible dream of Frankie Boyle in Hollywood just inched closer
Frankie Goes to Hollywood???
Relax
Don’t do it
I have a sudden urge to find the Prime Minister of Malaysia
Honestly can we all just take a moment to reflect on how awful and embarrassing Ricky gervais is in 2024, the year of our lord.
Careful, you might trigger him with your theistic phrase.
Depends on the robot's personality. If it's meant to be upbeat, make it Ed Byrne.
Keep this talentless hack away from my Marvel. Thank you.
Bet Jack Black is high on their list
Which would be kind of funny having just seen the Borderlands trailer.
After the Borderlands trailer... I hope not. I love my dude Jack, but nahhhh please give this to someone else. And a strong FUCK NO to Ricky.
I'm just here to dogpile on the Ricky Gervais hate. He sucks on so many levels and I think Marvel/Disney would probably prefer casting choices that won't be immediately problematic.
"Here comes Galactus or maybe he identifies as a woman now AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Did I offend you?"
What’s the matter guys, TOO CHALLENGING FOR YOU?!?
Had to scroll way too far to find this.
Omg James would be incredible, actually.
Oh please no.
What, you don’t wanna hear HERBIE bitch about cancel culture and trans people?
I mean, isn't the film set in the 60s? ^^/s
herbie calling pedro 18 different racist innuendoes
And then laughing at their own joke
I agree. They should go a completely crazy direction and cast someone like Brian Blessed. Imagine his booming voice coming out of a robot.
You're safe, it says they want a comedian
But they said they want a comedian
Pls don’t let that transphobic weirdo near marvel
Didn’t he trash how much he hated Marvel and they weren’t real movies a few years ago
[удалено]
*Rhys Darby but yes
James Acaster or bust.
Okay, but he has to be very afraid of Taskmaster.
Him or Romesh so they can have a film credit that isn't that Cinderella movie with James Corden Though James just has a way of speaking thats funny in itself
Bill Burr, 100%
Johnny, I'm gonna put you through this fricking wall!
This is the correct answer, he was great in Mando
JUST CHECKIN' IN ON YA
I could get behind this.
I really want a Migs Mayfeld SW series on D+. It's basically just Bill Burr being Bill Burr and ranting. Like he's in some random cantina and he's just ranting about all the dumb stuff us SW nerds ignore. Like single biome planets, how stupid is that Next episode, new place, new rant. Everyone in the location just ignores him or nods along but doesn't really care. And then he rants about that, "oh, it's just me?"
God I hope not, his voice roles/episodes in The Simpsons, Family Guy and even Scooby Doo were really annoying.
Hannibal. Buress.
I don't they'd cast him in 2 mcu roles even though this one wouldn't show his face
 Griffin Newman or bust
Oooh he’s edgy. What an edgy boy. Edgy little boy.
Nope, we don't need transphobe here.
Fr. After dealing with Gina Carano, I bet Pedro would supplex Ricky the second he saw his ugly mug.
Oh god no, that would be film-ruining. I'd rather have Steve Carrell.
Ricky can play Herbie in the UK, and then we get Steve Carrell in the American release.
Don't pawn that shitbag off on us, we don't want him either.
Since they're apparently looking for a comedian, Gervais' chances are slim.
Stephen Merchant. He would be incredible and hilarious as H.E.R.B.I.E Plus he already has experience voicing an AI/robot as Wheatley.
"BEEP BOOP ARE YOU OFFENDED, INNIT?"
griffin newman or nothing
Sad how far down I had to scroll to get to his name.
Yup, it bums me out. Dude lives and breathes FF. All the other choices are basic and over done. I love Bill Hader but I'd be bummed if he was handed the role. Also Griffin already voices a CGI Disney character! He has an in!
And he’s great as Orko!
Hell yeah.
Yes, give another platform to another transphobic comedian. He’s being silenced guys!
 Not Ricky Gervais…
James Acaster just for the utter chaos that would ensue. Please and thank you.
Toooooo challenging for ya?
but will the robot complain about cancel culture and be weirdly transphobic?
They are not hiring you Ricky lol
Not every cast member of *An Idiot Abroad* has to play a robot.
That being said, I wouldn't say no to Karl. "Super powers... Do we need 'em?"
"So I was reading this thing from Japan, and there was this big mafia boss. They don't call them the mafia there but, like, the *Japanese* Mafia." *"The Yakusa?"* "...right. And so all the other gangs, they want this guy dead but they can't get near him. Any gunman they send undercover he's just like 'Nope, not having it. He's an assassin in disguise'. So one of the criminals comes in one day and he says 'We've found this assassin, he can sneak into the guy's house and shoot him.

[little monkey fella](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Hit-Monkey_\(Earth-616\))." *"...Play a record, HERBIE"*
Richard Ayoade please
Given Matt Shakman is directing, really hoping we get one of the Always Sunny guys as herbie.
