Happy 34th birthday, Dana Snyder!
Today is Dana Snyder’s 34th birthday. Most of us only recognize him when he is playing a narcissistic talking milkshake with a penchant for irrational shenanigans, but the voice over artist is a favorite all across the Adult Swim board, not just as Master Shake in the absurdist hit, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. His voice has been featured on Minoriteam, Squidbillies and even Robot Chicken.
What most of us didn’t know is that his most famous character, Shake, is pistachio flavored. Fancy that. You hear of pistachio ice cream, but you never see a pistachio milkshake. Why is that? Too chunky? But Shake isn’t made from pistachio ice cream: he’s made from pistachio flavored ice cream and that’s different.
Mmmm, pistachio ice cream.
Excuse me.
Dana is from my area, so he got two pieces in the local paper, one when ATHF:MFFT came out and another when it went to video.He's also starting to do more work for the mainstream Cartoon Network as well. He's the voice of Gazpacho on the why-are-you-not-watching-this-level-good Chowder, and some voiceovers for promos and bumpers.
