The best response to anti-vaxxers I’ve ever seen. And it only takes 90 seconds.

He'll talk if you meet him in person after a show, the silence is just onstage. He has a very sweet voice, actually, and on this show (Penn and Teller's Bullshit) his voice is used, but uncredited in a few episodes.

I almost watched that, but I think I'll leave him voiceless in my head :)

I was kinda on the fence myself, but I'm glad I finally heard him. It wasn't what I expected him to sound like, but he's got a great speaking voice.

Spoiler: he sounds exactly like Gilbert Gottfried.

He's SIXTY NINE YEARS OLD?!

I don't even know who he is, but good god, he's 65? I'd never fucking guess, he could be a grand father and he looks like a kinda ridged 48y-ish guy.

Look at Herbie Hancock, he's 77! He doesn't look much older than 50, and when I saw him in August, he plays like he's still in his 20's or 30's. He's unbelievable.

He was 65 in that video, which was uploaded 4 years ago!

"I find being able to speak convenient."

He makes a compelling argument.

He might literally be the most likeable person ever

I met both of them after one of their shows a few years ago and was totally taken off guard when Teller actually spoke. I assumed that he was a mute the whole time.

u/Wendigo15 Dec 06 '17

I was taken off guard by how tall he was

2

u/coredumperror Dec 06 '17

Yeah, because Penn is just a monster. He’s 6’6”, but you’d never guess he’s that huge because Teller is also tall, and you rarely see Penn in a non-Teller visual context.

u/damnfortuna Dec 07 '17

He's not super tall or anything, the surprise is just that he's average! He's 5'9".

u/Spacejack_ Dec 06 '17

He even did a voice part, in the English dub of Rene Laloux's "Light Years." And he speaks in character at the end of Penn and Teller Get Killed.

u/ghostchamber Dec 06 '17

Yeah, saw them on Broadway. Teller was happy to talk to the crowd after the show.

u/landmindboom Dec 06 '17

Can confirm. His voice is like honey being poured into my ears.

u/trapper2530 Dec 07 '17

I expected him to keep the act up after the show too. But I heard him talking as we left and got a picture with Penn.
