Hey guys!!! To all Moppet Family members...
Christy or Mother's interview got posted, here's the link she so generously provided.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkEstXqp9jc

My thoughts...
Snowths is gonna be soooo jealous when he finds I have a Kathy Greenwood sound-alike for a cyber sister.
Who's the guy trying to conduct the interview? He's refered to as Vic, but he has a bit of a British tone...
Points for a reference to Ted and his little trists with the next door neighbor's French poodle... Which next door neighbors would that be: Kyle's family? Or the Whatever woman who owns a cow?
When the guy said "Bark", that was funny... Though you should tell him Ted doesn't speak with "Bark"'s, it's "Arf"'s modified into humanish doggish speech.

There's also a bit where DanDan tries to eat Little Viq with the salt and pepper.
More points for refering his visit/punishment to the Gobi Desert.
*Reference from commentary or muffining in The Reunion fanfic.
Funniest line of all: DanDan, go stick your finger in the light socket again.

There were sounds of cars passing by at the end, not sure if that was intentional. Not sure if that makes it sound like the interview was taking place outdoors in reality (passing itself off as the Moppet household) or if it adds to the pseudo-realism.

At any rate... Great schtuff... And I rully hope everyone gets a chance to listen/see it as well!
Oh yeah... This is youtube.com, so you'll have to let it play once with initial glitching and then play it a second time to get it in its entirety.

Hope this helps. Yaey Christy!!!

Ha! This is so hilarious! My favorite fact is that she never gets to answer the question! I love when she transforms into Nicky, and I simply adore when she turns to the cat and goes, "Izzy?" Classic. Also, "Vic, don't kill your aunt!"

My only problem with the vid is that it's an obvious standin for Vic, definatly not how Vic Moppet looks or sounds (actually, he sounded good originally).

Mother is fab, I was afraid that she would look too young, but it was actually good. "Never liked that dumb dog." I found that hilarious. Also the, "Little Viq..." It sounded great. :stick_out_tongue: I forget how close Vic, and Viq sound in real life.

Nice choice of location, it looked just like the outside of the Moppet house.

Well done!

Hmmm... Didn't hear that refurrence Bo.
Was it a transformation into Nicki? For some reason I think she was just sort of frustrated/flustered with the interview. Didn't have the "oomph" or deviltry that Nicki usually has.

Another fab little line when talking about DanDan: "I'm glad he's not my brother. He's my husband's sister..."

I sound like Kathy Greenwood? Talk about things you didn't know about yourself.

That's Ryan Lewis little brother to a friend of mine we drafted to help out. We tease him constantly b/c well he always talks with a British accent.

I knew shooting it outside with actual cars going by would work.

Now to decide if that was an insult or a compliment...

You mean besides Miss Piggy?

Yes, you sounded like that Canadian Snowths' is always trying to chase after. That's just what it sounded like to me.

And the bit with the "Bark" was mildly funny for the awkward factor of the guy just going "Bark" like that quietly. It's like the game Sound Effects from Whose Line? when they were doing the scene from the movie Titanic.
"Oh, hey listen, the band's playing..."
"Apparently they're playing the Sound of Silence" (after no singing or music instrument effects were made by the audience members).

Take care Sis... Look forward to many more great things from this interview phase of MopFamdom.

Just listened to the interview again... I keep laughing with that line about DanDan and the light socket.

Heard the bit at the end, it's clearer now.
Well of course Izzy didn't say... That's cause she didn't say...
And what's that "Wait, wait, wait" at the end for?
Post another interview when ready, this was a rull treat Sis.

It really was, I already said what I liked over in the Mop Fam thread, but enough can't be said about how great this was. So I hope we get more soon!

That's actually just a render glitch. For some reason the sound messed up when I compressed the file.
