Rick and Morty is arguably the most popular show on Adult Swim right now. With Rick and Morty Day coming up on June 20th, there will be plenty of festivities to join in on, as well as the official premiere of Season 5.
We also have interviews with the cast coming your way, and those include the voices of Beth (Sarah Chalke, Scrubs), Jerry (Chris Parnell SNL), and Summer (Spencer Grammer). In the meantime, however, we had a chance to sit down with another actor famous for a Rick and Morty character, and that's Rob Paulsen, the voice of Snowball.
When we spoke with Paulsen, we were sure to discuss his long and storied career in voice acting. These include his characters in Animaniacs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, A Goofy Movie, The Land Before Time, Lilo & Stitch, Jimmy Neutron, and countless others.
When talk turned to Snowball, Paulsen was very passionate about the deeper meaning of Snowball's arc in Lawnmower Dog, one of the first episodes of Rick and Morty. He touched on how we mistreat our animals in ways we would never do to other sentient beings, even though we claim to love them.
In the more uplifting portion of our chat about Rick and Morty, talk turned to my engagement with my fiance, and Paulsen was more than happy to provide a shout-out. Moreso, he went as far as getting in character as Snowball and sharing a hilarious and heartfelt toast.
Paulsen even name-drops both of the titular characters of Rick and Morty and goes so far as to share an update about his testicles... You'll have to see it for yourself below!
Voice actor Rob Paulsen channels his character of Snowball from Rick & Morty to give an amazing engagement toast for two fans - my fiance and me. Rob stays in character while delivering his toast, and he makes sure to blend elements from the episode and the character's backstory into the speech, even name-dropping the characters of both Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith.
What did you guys think of that? It was certainly an amazing moment for us! If you haven't seen the video, we shared Rob and Tohoru Masamune (Shredder, 2014 TMNT), sharing a hilarious and disgusting pizza interaction in character as the turtles and the villain in character!
Rob Paulsen, the voice of Raphael from the 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon gives a special shout-out with pizza topping instructions to Tohoru Masamune, the actor who played Shredder in the 2014 live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. And Tohoru responds by actually eating the pizza!
