I realize Episode 1795 will be tended to soon, so I'll just ask this about Scene 2. (YouTube) (starts around 7:50)

It almost sounds like "Lena" the Vacuum Cleaner (Fran Brill?) is going for a Lamb Chop voice. What's the consensus here? --Splurge (talk) 13:17, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Seems like a stretch. - Shane (talk) 13:28, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

I agree that the Lamb Chop similarity is just coincidental. The voice sounds familiar, but I don't think it's Fran; the filter makes it hard to tell. -- Tony (talk) 13:32, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Shane: As is my wont. Tony: Agreed about the filter. Thanks for quick responses. I can't help but think it's referencing someone - I personally find the voice too annoying to be an original. --Splurge (talk) 13:38, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Not a specific reference, but the kind of broad New York accent and voice used on radio and in cartoons and old movies, usually as telephone operators or gabby ladies on the subway. As said already, it's just coincidental, but trying to be mildly abrasive. -- Andrew 00:27, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
