#MakeAmericaBrannigan: The Futurama hero recites Trump’s best words

While Donald Trump might have “the best words,” often times those words come out a bit… garbled. No matter how lost the meaning may be, the Republican presidential nominee always speaks with great confidence and bluster. These oddly boisterous quips are reminiscent of one of TV’s biggest blowhards, Futurama’s Zapp Brannigan. The riff on Captain Kirk with the spongy and bruised flesh is the perfect mouthpiece for some of Trump’s best words. Now, thanks to the actor who played Brannigan, the world gets to hear these best words in the voice of an intergalactic captain worthy of them.

On Twitter, the man of many voices, Billy West, has posted multiple snippets of him reading Trump quotes in the voice of Brannigan. This has given birth to the excellent hashtag #MakeAmericaBrannigan. The dulcet tones of the Diplomatic Order Of Planets general almost make it easy to stomach these quotes. Almost.

It’s quite a great time to be a Futurama fan. With Billy West making a human cartoon into a literal cartoon, the 30th century is speeding ever closer to reality. Zombie Jesus, help us all.
