Hank Azaria, best known for his iconic voice work on the long-running animated sitcom The Simpsons, recently tried his hand at a new challenge – making a royal guard crack a smile. The American actor, who has lent his voice to countless characters on the show since its debut in 1989, took on the task with his signature wit and humor.
In a video shared on social media, Hank can be seen attempting to impress a stoic guard at the Tower of London. With the person behind the camera capturing the moment, Hank confidently introduces himself and shares his famous line, "Sir, I do voices on The Simpsons." He then launches into a series of impressions, including Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, and Comic Book Guy, among others.
Despite his best efforts, the guard remains unfazed, leaving Hank surprised and slightly disappointed. "He seems impenetrable," Hank remarks to the camera. Accepting defeat, he bows and nods respectfully to the guard before the video comes to an end.
The video quickly garnered attention from fans, who couldn't help but laugh at Hank's failed attempt. Some praised the guard for his unwavering professionalism, while others joked that he must not be familiar with The Simpsons. However, one fan had a different theory – maybe the guard simply didn't want to break character and reveal his true amusement.
This isn't the first time someone has tried to make a royal guard laugh, and it certainly won't be the last. The rules for the guards are notoriously strict, and even the most skilled entertainers have failed in their attempts. In fact, reacting to a joke or a funny situation could even cost a guard their job. But that didn't stop Hank from giving it his best shot.
Despite the guard's lack of reaction, fans couldn't help but praise Hank for his talent and humor. And it's no surprise, considering he has won four Primetime Emmy Awards for his work on The Simpsons. The show, which is now streaming on Paramount Plus, continues to entertain audiences all over the world with its clever writing and lovable characters.
Hank's video may not have gone as planned, but it certainly provided a good laugh for his fans. And who knows, maybe the guard secretly enjoyed the show and expressed his excitement as soon as he clocked off for the day. As for Hank, he may have to stick to making us laugh through our TV screens for now.
