Is it just me...

Or does the voice of Chester Cheetah in the latest Cheetos commercial sound an awful lot like Ian McKellen?

I can't seem to find the commercial in question on YouTube, or anywhere else online, for that matter. It's the one in the laundromat, where Chester appears and says, "Felicia, those are her whites, you know." or something to that effect, and the girl (Felicia Day) puts Cheetos in the other woman's clothes. Then she looks back, and he's gone.

Now, I did a little research, and supposedly Christopher Murney is credited for the voice of the Cheetos mascot, but it's not mentioned anywhere on his website. Maybe I'm just going crazy...

I just don't see it... :eh:

his head looks really heavy. how does he keep it up? must be the shoes.

hahaha I totally know what you're talking about...I was wondering why his voice seemed so different than usual but didn't think of Gandalf :P

I think it might be just because he has a more conspiratorial tone in that commercial, as opposed to his usual boisterious one.

They're trying to make him cooler.

You know, when I first saw the commercial, I actually thought it was the blind (?) black dude that was talking, not the cheetah. Tit confused meh.

So I'm not just going crazy then... Whew! :D

It really does sound just like Ian McKellen, though, to me.

It doesn't quite sound like Ian McKellan (imo), but it does sound VERY familiar. I keep saying the "Those are her whites in the dryer" and trying to connect the voice to my memory, but it's not working. (Surprise Surprise <.<)
