Over the past week, I’ve gradually become convinced that Paul Rudd does the voiceover for this newish Macbook commercial. If it isn’t, chalk it up to his recent um, exact-right-amount-of-media-exposure. The voice sounds a little younger and a little dorkier, but the “rs” sound so like him!:
It sounds like Paul Rudd trying to not sound like Paul Rudd, if that makes any sense. The way Jon Krasinski does in those Blackberry commercials. And it’s been airing during comedies, like 30 Rock last night. And Apple has a history of hiring comedian pitchmen, of course. I sort of maybe rest my case? I’ve been wrong before, though (see the Bobbie From Mad Men Green M&M Disaster.)

No, it’s not Mr. Rudd, and i think your definition of “exact-right-amount-of-media-exposure” may be a bit off as well.
I think you’re way off on this.
I thought so, maybe at the beginning but became less convinced as time wore on…
That’s like Patrick Dempsey doing those State Farm and Mazda commercials.
I know it’s you, Pat!
“The voice sounds a little younger and a little dorkier, but the “rs” sound so like him!:”
Lindsay, you remind me more and more of Mel from Flight of the Conchords everyday
Not that it’s a bad thing.
Yeah, probably. I’ll be so glad when this weekend is over and I can go back to normalish!
Well Billy Crudup is the Mastercard PRICELESS guy… super generic voice on that guy, but it works.
and I think you’re projecting your Rudd Love onto everything, which is okay, because he could ‘project his love’ onto me anyday.
G’damn, Lindsay. Will you just ask Paul Rudd to take up residence inside your vagina panties, already?
I just disabled my Paul Rudd google alert. He’s smothering me!
I’m just jealous is all, Lindsay. I’m tired of being the Baxter to Paul Rudd’s Paul Rudd.
I see what you mean, but the further on it gets the more convinced it doesn’t sound like him.
It does sound a lot like him, but I think the accent is slightly off. But I understand why you’re stressing: normally I’m pretty good at ID-ing voice-over people, but the dude who does the AT&T “more bars” ads has stymied me for years.
the voice is that of the editor actually. he does all the iphone commercials as well…used his voice as a temp track once and apple loved it and now use him for all of them
Next step: “So Paul Rudd has been sending me signals through his interviews recently, and I actually caught him asking me to meet him at his house during the battle scene in Role Models”.
“He speaks to me with pictures, that’s how we communicate. I’m gonna buy flowers and ask him to marry me”
sounds like Josh Radnor (Ted) from How I Met Your Mother.
leaning towards michael ian black more than i am paul rudd
the worst unidentified celebrity voiceover is john corbett for applebee’s. he says “app” instead of appetizer. ::shudder::
“You wanna know why I know your gay???? Because their an app. for it and it told me”
That is rudd, Jeff bridges is the hyundai guy, stanley tucci is the ATT / cingular guy,kevin spacey is the honda guy, and a cousin of mine created this website……but what do I know??? Haha
