[quote name=\'Jimmy Owen\' date=\'Dec 2 2003, 12:40 PM\']Patrick Wayne is an actor, and as such, was following direction from someone behind the scenes when he yelled "YOU BLOCK!!!!" and "YOU WINNNN!!!" I don't think Patrick came up with that himself, otherwise that behind the scenes person would have told him to stop doing that.[/quote]
Maybe. . .
Or maybe, as an actor, he was playing the role of generic, stereotypical game show host. That is often the trouble when turning non-hosts into hosts. Instead of being game show hosts, they play game show hosts, which is not the same thing at all.
I think that's also the reason that replacement voices for cartoon characters are seldom as good as the originals. Replacement voice actors are doing impersonations of the original voices, and impersonations necessarily involve some exaggeration of particular characteristics for comic effect. To bring this back to the topic of Patrick Wayne, then, I think he was doing an impersonation of a game show host, which of course involved exaggeration for effect (unintentionally comic, and grating, in this case).
