Talking to Themselves: Difference between revisions

** [[Steve Blum]] barely avoided it in ''Adventure 02'' (neither Flamedramon or Raidramon got to chat up BlackWarGreymon, though Poromon gets awfully close in episode 33), but in ''Tamers'' he voices three main characters that sound completely different: Guilmon, Kenta, and Yamaki!

** In the Latin American dub of ''Digimon Savers'' Rolando de la Fuente voices both Thomas and Agumon, funny because [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wyIftdG96Q they have completely different voices].

** Then there's the fact that Miki and Megumi are both voiced by Karina Altamirano.

* Both the title character of ''[[Afro Samurai]]'' and his annoying sidekick/hanger-on Ninja-Ninja are voiced by [[Samuel L. Jackson]]. {{spoiler|Turns out it's like this ''in series'' to some degree, as Ninja is a figment of Afro's imagination.}}

* In multiple episodes of ''Fringe'', Anna Torv plays two version of Olivia Dunham -- one from "our" universe and one from another universe. While the two characters are usually seen separately, in the season two finale "Over There", our Olivia and alternate Olivia engage in hand-on-hand combat -- meaning Torv is fighting herself.

* Happens in any episode of ''[[Farscape]]'' in which Crais (played by Lani Tupu) and Pilot (voiced by Lani Tupu) interact.

'''Orac:''' Then kindly don't.

* The English version of ''[[Beyond Good & Evil (video game)|Beyond Good and Evil]]'' had far fewer voice actors than any other version, resulting in some interesting conversations. Most of the side female characters are quite clearly the same woman, especially obviously in the case of [[The Faceless]], the Science Center woman, and the governor. Even funnier, the [[Elite Mooks]], the Alpha Sections, obviously have the same VA as [[Playful Hacker]] Nino, leading one to wonder just whose side that guy is on.

* ''[[Conker's Bad Fur Day]]'' has dozens of characters with major speaking roles, yet only three people do the voices for all of them, and one of those three does only one voice. Chris Seavor actually voiced over ''forty'' characters; ''every single male part except the Great Mighty Poo.'' Now that's some incredible range.

* ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' has Rozalin and Taro voiced by [[Wendee Lee|the same woman]] in English. This leads to the [[Unfortunate Implications|disturbing fact]] that the [[Cute Shotaro Boy]] has an unhealthy obsession with ''himself''. In the original audio, [[Yukari Tamura]] provides the voice of Rozalin, and Hiro Shimono voices Taro.

* ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' has Salvatore and the returning Etna both voiced by Michelle Ruff.

*** It's worth mentioning that Scott himself gets a real kick out of this trope, and frequently recites some of his more popular Talking To Himself scenes (particularly from [[Beast Wars]]) for audiences at anime conventions.

** [[Peter Cullen]] played both Optimus Prime and his right hand man, Ironhide (meaning that he's talking to himself in the first post-credits scene of the 1986 movie). [[Frank Welker]] voiced Megatron, Soundwave and most of the first-year Decepticons aside from Starscream. This is perfectly demonstrated in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQWWG1r2e7k this clip], in which he voices all the Decepticons.

** In ''[[Transformers Animated|Animated]]'', David Kaye is Prime, Grimlock, Lugnut, and Highbrow. Jeff Bennett is Prowl, Ultra Magnus, Captain Fanzone, Soundwave, Angry Archer, and Mixmaster. Bumper Robinson is Bumblebee, Porter C. Powell, Blackout, and does ''three'' voices for Blitzwing, whose [[Split Personalities|Split Personality]] occasionally [[Talking to Themself|talk amongst themselves]]. Tom Kenny is Starscream ({{spoiler|as well as all of the [[Me's a Crowd|Starscream clones]] except the [[Opposite Sex Clone|female one]]}}), Isaac Sumdac, Scrapper, Wasp, and Jetfire. Corey Burton is Megatron, Ratchet, Shockwave (reprised from G1), Longarm Prime ({{spoiler|who ''is'' Shockwave but has a slightly different voice}}), Colossus Rhodes, Ironhide, and [[Yuppie Couple|Spike]]. Besides Sari, Tara Strong is pretty much every female and child except Blackarachnia, Arcee, and a brief appearance by Flareup. Bill Fagerbakke is Bulkhead and Hot Shot. While he only voiced Jazz for the first two seasons, in the third Phil LaMarr is also Oil Slick, Jetstorm, and [[The Other Darrin|replaces]] Kevin Michael Richardson as Omega Supreme. Most of them also do a few minor characters. Come to think of it, ''Animated'' has this at least as bad as the original did.

*** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in a script-reading called ''Bee In The City'', which had Bumblebee suggest to ''[[Beast Wars]]'' Megatron (also voiced by David Kaye, who was doing Prime in the same reading) that they try to get help from Lugnut or Grimlock. Megatron responded, "Who do I look like, Scott McNeil?"

* In the PBS animated show ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'', both Binky Barnes and Arthur's father are actually voiced by the same actor.

* On ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', there are three examples:

** Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are voiced by Andrea Libman.

*** Which leads to a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]], as Pinkie Pie won't play any pranks on Fluttershy, as she claims Fluttershy is too sensitive and would take it seriously. However, it's often implied that Pinkie Pie is well aware of the [[Fourth Wall]].
