Sure! This was probably one of my favorite scenes in the episode, mostly because I worked on it from square one. I not only did the audio - but the storyboard and animation as well!
For the TV announcer, we asked our very own @justin-chapmanswers to do the expressive voice! The only line that we specifically wrote for was “They’re really going for it!” The rest was his fantastic improv, which I loved and wanted to include so much of, but we had very limited time in this scene, so I only could include what I felt worked. My favorite lines are “Aha, maybe they didn’t consider… TRYING HARDER?” and “I hate my job folks!”
This audio was mostly meant to be vague and slightly unheard since the focus of the scene was on Cobs and MP4 - so the TV was mostly just for ambiance. That being said, there is sort of a story to follow, albeit super fast. We can thank Justin for that again!
My favorite little not very secret detail that I did for the TV show is that the audio actually corresponds to what happens to MePhone4 in this scene! When Cobs says “trash”, the audience gasps. When he rejects sitting with MePhone4, they groan. And when MePhone4 makes a jab at Cobs at the end, they laugh!
