Who is a greater American? A kid from Brooklyn who volunteered for a dangerous experiment so he could fight in WWII, sacrificed himself to save millions, and dedicated his life to protecting the world from danger? Or a former professional wrestler who became a governor after fighting the Predator? TOUGH CALL. Rather than choose, why not combine them to form our nation’s greatest hero, like we did when we recast Captain America with Jesse “The Body” Ventura.
In this clip from our latest episode of Talkin’ Toons, the great Roger Craig Smith, who voices Captain America and Batman, joined host Rob Paulsen to help recreate a memorable showdown between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark from the first Avengers movie. Rob replaced Iron Man with his Animaniacs character Yakko, and Roger took on Captain America. Only instead of reading it as his Cap, he did it with his spot-on, totally hysterical impression of the very loud, very intense former governor of Minnesota.
From now on, we’re just going to imagine that anytime the Avengers are called to action, Jesse Ventura will show up to offer his help only to be told it’s “never gonna happen.”
