Akbar: "Someone sing a LULLABYE for the RABBI!"


Screaming.

I think we need an Akbar one-liners thread.

I came on here to say that I've now reached that Kramer-Mary Hart level when it comes to Akbar and his annoying voice and yes, his one-liners. I'll add to the list you already started by using 2 obvious ones that he seems to have decided are his trademark and must be said multiple times per episode:

1) "WHAT?!" (also while screaming in that annoying high-pitched voice)
2) "I see you" (a truly stupid comment considering that he has functioning eyeballs)

Tonight he repeatedly said a couple of things that caused me to come to the end of my tether with him. With at least 2 of the competitors, he simply would not stop screaming "I see you, big dog!" over and over... and over and over.

Since he and Iseman never ever shut up, I may have no choice but to stop watching this show altogether. I've tried using the mute button but I still want to hear what's going on and the enthusiasm of the crowd. If only my remote had a "Mute Only Akbar and Matt and Keep Everything Else" button.

How about him screaming "ARE YOU CRAZY! ARE YOU CRAZY! ARE YOU CRAZY! ARE YOU CRAZY" last night.

Half the entertainment is his inane and annoying commentary.

The t-rex can way as much as 5 tons, so this makes him one of our heavier contestants

Totally agree! Showboats belong in the water.

That really was a great one. I feel your pain and agree Akbar's voice is almost seizure inducing. Lol Sometimes the show sits on my DVR for a few days because I just can't stomach the commentary until I'm in the right mood.

I'm also really sick of the announcers saying the same thing over and over for particular obstacles. After you've told us a ledge on something is only 2 inches which makes it difficult or there's plexiglass on every third spoke of rolling thunder and they have to reach around it on the first 5 runs lyou don't need to say the same thing on every other run after that, we get it.

Hi there, Akbar. Nice of you to join us on the board.

I like Akbar's commentary as well. Keeps the show fun and sometimes he's hilarious.
