  • chezidom, on 08/13/2008, -13/+252It'd be nice if his voice was used for GPS devices.
  • kalleanka, on 08/13/2008, -22/+157Let me guess, this post will be followed by:

    4 post saying this is boring.

    12 posts complaining that xkcd posts always make the front page.

    7 post saying this is dupe of the same xkcd and the other stories where submitted 1 minute earlier.

    3 post commenting on that every time xkcd is posted, someone like me has to make fun of other posts that always repeat themselves.
  • stormbreaker, on 08/13/2008, -14/+145This is like, the third xkcd comic in the past two weeks to mention enlarging penises.
    Randal got somethin' on his mind?
  • darkphenox, on 08/13/2008, -18/+125Brilliant, I wish I heard Morgan Freeman's voice everytime I read

  • FTLJohnson, on 08/13/2008, -2/+55Unfortunately, I'm stuck hearing everything in Gilbert Gottfried's voice... Does anyone have a gun they could loan me?
  • vexbit, on 08/13/2008, -9/+58Wow, first time I read this, I read "A disorder wherein you hear everyting you read in the comforting voice of GORDON freeman."

    Gee, now that I think of it...

  • xadamxwaltonx, on 08/13/2008, -0/+49My bad, guys...

    "Ever since I was a little boy, people have enjoyed the sound of my voice. And I figured you either get busy talkin' or you get busy dyin’. The work is really quite easy. Why even right now I’m just sitting in a chair, sipping some tea and reading from a script. The wall is covered in something that resembles egg crates except they’re soft and spongy, like a twinkie…like a twinkie."
  • Colodia, on 08/13/2008, -1/+40Argh, now I have no idea what to say.
  • RichStevenson, on 08/13/2008, -1/+37I want Samuel L. Jackson.
    "Turn left now mother ******!!
    "Get off of this mother ****** highway at mother ******* exit 2a"
  • Dundasbro, on 08/13/2008, -5/+35Epic win.
  • inactive, on 08/13/2008, -12/+36Like a twinkie, like a twinkie
  • VinnieDaMac, on 08/13/2008, -7/+27Morgan Freeman is a god.
  • graahBrains, on 08/13/2008, -0/+18it would work great for deaf people.
  • ninjarabbits, on 08/13/2008, -2/+19it's probably on the tip of his tongue, and he's just looking for the right approach to let it all out
  • Dundasbro, on 08/13/2008, -1/+18This one was actually funny though.
  • Rodalli, on 08/13/2008, -0/+14"Switch lanes without signaling one more time, *****, I dare you!"
  • Archon810, on 08/13/2008, -3/+16It's been done: http://navtones.com/getnavtones.php?gclid=CK7ChvLm ...

    I pity the fool who doesn't take the left turn! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/10628667#1 ... I would probably throw the piece of ***** out the window within 30 minutes.
  • leahcim, on 08/13/2008, -8/+21The guy in the thought bubble looks more like Gordon Freeman than Morgan Freeman.
  • prattmic, on 08/13/2008, -8/+20Well, this is close: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsaki6RfTno
  • mycartel, on 08/13/2008, -0/+12Does TomTom look like a bitch?! Then why you trying to ***** him like a bitch?!
  • Roshz, on 11/27/2008, -0/+10http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=-2BzLf2jwIM
  • DrakeGTA, on 08/13/2008, -3/+12I have something much worse... Fran Drescheric Paracusia...
  • jimbruno, on 08/13/2008, -5/+14That's nothing. I read everything as discussed by one of the two Monarch-henchmen on the venture brothers.
  • arjie, on 08/13/2008, -1/+9Awesome, are we placing spread bets? I'm going for 12-8-3-5
  • Shadic, on 08/13/2008, -0/+8Yeah, with his ads and all.
  • homesqua, on 08/13/2008, -2/+10It's true: http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0026790/
  • DrunkenDigger, on 08/13/2008, -0/+8Please try harder at trolling, you are a disappointment to your family.
  • lostarchitect, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7"turn aaah left, you dumb *****, left, ahhh".
  • abarysh2, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7Mine is of the woman's voice from the Moscow subway system... it's really annoying because she has a terrible Russian accent when I read in English.
  • T440, on 08/13/2008, -3/+10Yes! Ever since I got my GPS, I've been thinking how great it would be to have celebrity voices. I would literally get into a car wreck listening to Christopher Walken telling me to turn left.

    Would probably be a good money maker for the manufacturers too.
  • Archon810, on 08/13/2008, -4/+10spam?
  • InfinitySnatch, on 08/13/2008, -0/+6That's really annoying, what you did with the caps lock there.
  • ShitStainedBall, on 08/13/2008, -0/+6Like a twinkie, like a twinkie.
  • allah6464, on 08/13/2008, -3/+8FFS. XKCD ends up on the front page every week. Ignore it if you don't care. Why continually spam this kind of comment to digg every time a new comic is posted?
  • MrLunar, on 08/13/2008, -0/+5How would you expect to give it me back?
  • krets, on 08/13/2008, -0/+5It would be the last voice you heard as you plummeted off a cliff.
  • inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+4It's me! Richard Dreyfus!!
  • abarysh2, on 08/13/2008, -1/+5...maybe you should get out more?

    or learn to use google, whatever
  • styx31989, on 08/13/2008, -0/+4I don't like XKCD, but this one is pretty good
  • fishpen0, on 08/13/2008, -1/+5He was God in Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty.
    He was Lucius Fox in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
    He was Carter Chambers in The Bucket List.
    He has narrated hundreds of movies, television shows, and commercials.
    Most recently he has narrated the Olympic ads.

    Heres an image:
    http://www.hitparade.ch/actorimages/morgan_freeman ...

    If you still don't know who he is, go crawl back into your cave for another hundred years.
  • inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+4March of the penguins.
  • RapidDave, on 08/13/2008, -0/+3that would be the best thing ever! Cause if it takes you on the wrong road he could just tell you a touching olympic games story
  • Ceaser57, on 08/13/2008, -0/+3The functionality of your Caps Lock was never in question, your use of it is.
  • bearcat8543, on 08/13/2008, -0/+3oh god, the horror.

    the horror.

    *ehhhheheheheheheheh*
  • megamod, on 08/13/2008, -2/+5you could've skinned him down a bit so he doesn't look retarded...
  • pault107, on 08/13/2008, -1/+4I was in a car that had a GPS voice set to John Cleese. It was funny for the first three minutes but then I had to switch it to the default. It drives you crazy.
  • passedoutghost, on 08/13/2008, -1/+4But if it were Gordon, there wouldn't be any voice at all.
  • djlethal, on 08/13/2008, -0/+3hahaha GG
  • digitalpencil, on 08/13/2008, -0/+2he's definitely a contender for celebrity Grandads for bedtime stories!
