For players of a sure classic, Jon St John’s voice is immediately recognisable. His efficiency of Duke Nukem is iconic—he delivered traces as ridiculous as “Your face, your ass, what is the distinction?” and “No person steals our chicks… and lives” with a gravelly depth that actually they most likely did not deserve.
So it tickled me to come upon Jon’s TikTok account at the moment and uncover that he is taking requests. For a few days now he is principally been studying out within the basic Duke voice any line a commenter asks for, like a type of free and chaotic model of Cameo. It appears to simply be the most recent burst of exercise in a long term of being Duke-y on the platform.
It is a deluge of filth, in fact, although that is not less than in line with Duke’s persona. For those who’ve ever needed to listen to Mr Nukem say “This man eats corn the great distance”, “I am straight jorken it” or “When the boss makes one million I make a buck, that is why I crank my hog within the firm truck”, then congratulations—and hey, in the event you head over and remark, he’ll most likely learn no matter nonsense you have simply dreamed up too. Simply please do not make him discuss Skibidi Bathroom.
I might someway additionally fully missed that Jon owns a Duke Nukem puppet (the “Duppet”) which he makes use of to voice much more one-liners. I might be tempted to make a joke there concerning the man having loads of time to kill after the sequence ended, however credit score the place it is due—he is really nonetheless fairly busy on the planet of video games. In the previous few years he is appeared in Ion Fury, the That is the Police sequence, and (regrettably) taken on the lead function in Postal 4. It goes to point out: there’ll at all times be a spot on this business for a person who can say actually something with a straight face.
