when I got the call to do Sonic it was really exciting

good morning my rural job mister dr. Robotnik he is a madman

I can't with that guy you're mine the Hedgehog was illegal left by the way of

course he's a 300 IQ so it took me a week and a half to prepare Robotnik

wants to control humanity with his machines Sonic is a power that he needs

to control the world no but thank you for asking

oh that's not good

I just thought you might like a latte with steamed Austrian goat milk of

course I want a latte I love the way you make them I think I'm

kind of right in the zeitgeist with this character the mustache was ridiculous I

wish I could grow it be able to do a movie that brings a good memory back and

connects with new generations of people it is really amazing I've been very

lucky in that regard my blood every blood I'm just having so much fun

we've created a monster we won't be able to control mister dr. Robotnik he is a

madman which of these groups do you think are closer and meaning to madman I

can't with that guy you're mine the Hedgehog was an illegal left by the way

Sonic uses an interesting expression here in this context he means that he

has a hard time dealing with dr. Robotnik probably because he's

persistent or too much of a nuisance this is a bit similar to when we say

you're too much which can mean you are too much of a problem for me or you are

just too funny clever entertaining etc we covered this expression in our

hilarious lesson joeys punch and girlfriend hey thank you oh hey did Joey

tell you to say that you guys are too much

oh yeah you know what I gotta tell you III think you were the one that is

Oh Joey has the nicest friends oh and the nicest girlfriend

oh you're so sweet then he says that was an illegal left he sang this because he

turned to the left into a street that has transit going from left to right

which is funny because sonic is not a car hey if you find Jim Carrey hilarious

then you'll definitely want to check out this old lesson that we made with one of

his classic characters from Dumb and Dumber after you finished this video you

can find that by cooking up here or it down in description below Robotnik was

to control humanity with his missions they sound a lot of learners fail to

articulate correctly is the L when it's in the final position of a word when you

pronounce it make sure the tip of your tongue doesn't touch the roof of your

mouth it's control not control this is

humanity with his machines in this case CH sounds like it's not machine it's

machine let's listen and repeat Robotnik was to control humanity with his

machines no but thank you for asking in action and superhero movies you might

often hear is that all you got or some other similar expressions this means is

that all you can do Robotnik's reply thank you for asking is funny because it

doesn't fit in the context of a combat we say this or thanks for asking

after someone asks a question that shows they care about us

how are you really I'm on a better path it's a journey thank you for asking me

and thank you for your letters ok you have to understand something we're in a

hospital right now why is Leonard ok Leonard's fine I'm fine thanks for

asking but

kind of regular zeitgeist with this character

zeitgeist refers to the defining spirit or mood of a certain point in history as

shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time for example you could say that the

cafe culture of Buenos Aires has a zeitgeist of 19th century Paris what

carry probably means is that playing this character made him feel like he was

back in the 1990s again when the original Sonic the Hedgehog game was

first released give me a break is a common expression used for showing that

you are annoyed by something someone has said or done or that you do not think

that what they have said is true you know it's been really nice hanging out

with Jax because he likes to talk about his feelings

give me a break Jess is that really what you want a man who talks about his

feelings all the time he says big and fat here to make the phrase sound more

emphatic I was gonna smoke the marijuana like a cigarette

well now you're looking at a nice big fat punishment mustache was ridiculous I

wish I could grow it in this case ridiculous is used to mean crazy that is

in a bad way or crazy in a funny way you can tell which by the tone for example

that rollercoaster was ridiculous I'm never doing that again that

rollercoaster was ridiculous we've got to go on it again be able to do a movie

that brings a good memory back and connects with new generations of people

it is really amazing I've been very lucky in that regard to bring back means

to cause ideas feelings or memories to be in your mind again bringing memories

back is a common collocation in that regard here means in connection with the

point previously mentioned so Jim Carrey is just saying that he's lucky that he's

been called to work in a movie that brings back good memories

two-nil something needs to do something really well we see it as for example

you're going to nail your exam sometimes we just say nailed it after we've done

something really well like in these examples Oh

look at this one wow you nailed it that was amazing I mean we totally nailed it

it was beautiful

the time for talking is over it's time to push bunnies

you're flying eggs are pretty impressive mr. Eggman but let's face it you'll

never catch me hon fidence a fool's substitute for intelligence

that's not good Sonic and then you got the SuperSpeed

and everything but Maddie and I totally defense this is probably gonna get blown

up pretty much yeah don't worry I know exactly what to do

I was not expecting that but I was expecting not to expect something so it

doesn't count yes when I got the call to do Sonic

it was really exciting good morning my rural job mister dr. Robotnik he is a

madman I can't with that guy you're lying the Hedgehog that was an

illegal left by the way of course he's a 300 IQ zone so it took me a week and a

half to prepare Robotnik wants to control humanity with his machines Sonic

is a power that he needs to control the world no but thank you for asking

oh that's not good

I just thought you might like a latte with steamed Austrian goat milk of

course I would a lot of take I love the way you make them kind of writing a

zeitgeist with this character mustache was ridiculous I wish I could grow it be

able to do a movie that brings a good memory back and connects with new

generations of people it is really amazing I've been very lucky in that

regard
