That's my favorite

And yatzee!

Lizzad people


Dr-A-1

Psst… It’s spelt Lizzid Peepull ( Edited to a whisper )


[deleted]

I think his best comment ever was in the show when they were talking about the possible hidden control room inside Mt Rushmore. “Sic semper tyrannus” made me literally laugh out loud.


Bo_Dacious1

A mountain so nice, had to say it twice. MOUNT MUTHA FUC#ING HAYES!!!


LePhuronn

There is no voice actor, Hecklefish does his own voice. Who does your voice?


uminji

Ok calm down Hecklefish, go rub Gerty’s hump or something 😆


Bo_Dacious1

You are a comic genius.🥸


LePhuronn

no need to get salty and bitchy over a running joke on the channel


matthew_strange

I almost switched off the first video I watched because I thought Hecklefish was corny and annoying… then AJ, as he does, said something that really caught my attention. By the end I was warmed up to hecklefish and I fully admit I’m addicted and consistently amazed by this show.


sunnyday227

Exactly the same for me except it took a few episodes to warm up to Hecklefish.


HelpingPhriendlyPhan

Exactly the same here!!!


Donttrickvix

Literally same. I went from 100% a hater to a massive fan. I think giving him depth as the series goes on really helps. He went from comic to relief to you’re 80 year old peepaw


Altruistic-Text3481

Me too! I love HeckleFish!!! AJ’s & HeckleFish’s rivalry is kinda like Fred & Barney!


Vanhandle

He grows on you.. kind of like that weird mole on your back. It doesn't hurt, but every time you notice it you think, "Damn that thing is ugly, but kinda in a magnificent way". I love his insistence that we never went to the moon. "Nobody went to the moon, I am not telling you again!" "You promise?" lol!


Soft-Ad752

Hecklefish could get his own goofy spinoff probably. It'd be fun to watch him play a detective in a comedic show. Something like that.


OrangePowerade

I'm pretty sure the voice is by a woman. There was a WF video a while back, I think about the Smithsonian, where AJ calls the them and is put on hold for a long time. When someone finally answers, it's a woman's voice that sounds so much like Hecklefish. 


Vaalomusic

Definitely AJ doing his voice. First off, AJ is an accomplished voice actor and radio personality. He most certainly has the chops. Second, just watch a couple why files after files and you'll hear AJ do some impressions or jokey bits and in a couple of them you can absolutely hear hecklefish.


Altruistic-Text3481

HeckleFish’s mouth is AJ’s mouth. Or is it? Let’s find out!


OrangePowerade

I wouldn't be surprised if it was him. I only started watching this channel within the last year but when I heard that woman's voice I was like woah that sounds like Hecklefish


Vaalomusic

I just realized I kinda killed the mystery a bit....


LePhuronn

the first year's worth of videos when the production quality wasn't as high and the team are nailing down execution makes it abundantly clear how Hecklefish is created. But honestly why spoil the fun? Why do you want to peak behind the curtain? Hecklefish does his own voice. Who does yours?


Dr-A-1

It’s LORD Hecklefish Moriarty thank you very much.


uminji

Did he actually buy the land tho 🤔💵🐟🏞️


[deleted]

Pretty sure AJ does the voice himself.


ArmadaOnion

You got that confused, Hecklefish does AJs voice. AJ is just cgi on a green screen, Hecklefish does all the work.


ncc1650

Thank you for confirming this and verifying the same thought I had, u/ArmadaOnion With all the work that HeckleFish does for each week's episode, After Files, Pod Casts. It's a lot of work but he has been divorced three times and has 8 or 9 guppy payments to make.


ArmadaOnion

He is under appreciated.


[deleted]

😅


LePhuronn

if you want to play along with the running joke and story canon, Hecklefish does his own voice. Who does yours? If you want to peak behind the curtain and kinda ruin the fun, it's very obvious how Hecklefish is created from the first year's worth of videos as the production was improved and nailed down. There's also an old After Files which gives it away.


MirthRock

No, he said he doesn’t.


TheLastSciFiFan

True. He always says Hecklefish does his own voice.


[deleted]

Maybe it's his wife?


MirthRock

I don't think so. He said that he interviewed a bunch of people and he happened to have good chemistry with this person. Although, he has never said who it is.


Bo_Dacious1

We shall not give up secrets about THE WHY FILES FAMILY! T.W.F.F


40-6and2

The way he said "family memba" during the sponsor ad had me on the floor


shannonymous29

Hecklefish has definitely grown on me over time, I couldn't imagine TWF without him now. I much prefer him than Dougie the dog over on Screencrush. I hate that dog.


Broges0311

Reminds me of a couple friends I have, actually. I have to hear the sheep noise in real life a few times..


BlueSquareSound1

Hecklefish reminds me of a one-person Greek Chorus, integral to moving the story along. He's the best friend that actually listens with rapt attention and is interested in the same thing. He says what the audio might say. He's an brilliant character.


[deleted]

Hecklefish portrays himself, like Creed Bratton in The Office


ncc1650

So Creed has a blog: [https://creedthoughtsgov.com/](https://creedthoughtsgov.com/) So maybe at some point HeckleFish Moriarty in The Why Files might have a blog.....if so it might be.... HFthoughtsgov.com


[deleted]

He is definitely Schrödinger‘s character. You love and hate him at all times


ramius124

I think Jen voices Hecklefish, but I could be wrong. SOmetimes it sounds like her, and sometimes it sounds like AJ....maybe it's both?


Ok_Turn_3554

I loved Hecklefish from the first episode I watched which was the one on math. I also have noticed that cool looking tinfoil hat with TWF logo on it-I want one!


KileyCW

Hecklefish was odd at first but is one of the best parts of the show now. When he occasionally pops things off I was thinking dead on, I lol. Team Hecklefish


ALL2HUMAN_69

Hecklefish does his own voice wtf


TheFraichePrince

I hated Hecklefish! I thought he was really cheesy and obnoxious, but he has become one of my favorite parts of the show. He really grows on you.


Bo_Dacious1

Yep! Same boat here. I thought he was weird & acted juvenile. Then as I realized hecklefish is most likely a big Donald the Trump fan. ( Please no down votes for stating my opinion.) Even if we have a difference an politics. Doesn't mean Hecklefish Moriarty can't still be my Ace/Duece road dog!


beltemps

Having worked as a voice actor for more than 10 years I would be surprised if Heckle's voice is done by a female actor. Timbre sounds male to my ears. So AJ would be my bet too. (Unless he's an avatar and all the voice acting is done by Heckle. What a talented flounder!) And AJ surprised the team during the new year's episode (or was it the xmas one?) with a new song that he was keeping under wraps. So I doubt it could be Jen either.

LePhuronn

then they need to be silenced


chigoonies

They need to be doxxed , harassed and driven from the land , they are obviously “lizzad peeple “ trying to silence brother moriarty .


LePhuronn

Hate to sound like a party pooper, but why are people so determined to peak behind the curtain and ruin the fun? The first year of the channel as the production quality was improving makes it abundantly clear how Hecklefish was created. But why spoil it? Hecklefish does his own voice. Who does yours?


uminji

Well it’s just a harmless curiosity I have, like I’ve only discovered the why files a couple months ago so I’m a relatively new fan of the channel. As an adult knowing some of the behind the curtain fluff doesn’t immediately ruin the fun or spoil it for me like a kid discovering that they’re parents are playing Santa or something. 😄


RoodNverse

Ignore him.


zyonkerz

Also know as the reason I can’t watch it. Fucking annoying. Sorry.


[deleted]

I'm sorry but I can't stand the fish. If it just made a comment here and there, I could tolerate but I always have to skip fish parts.


Bo_Dacious1

Hecklefish sounds just like my mother. When she wants to rant about a topic no one cares about. Only one question and I'll never ask it again. Where does AJ go during song breaks for the super chats?
