"Who's on First?" - Ponified (Fluttershy and Twilight AI voices)


Awkward Segway

Recommended Posts

A video I made using the 15.ai text-to-speech tool. Based on the "Who's on First" sketch by Abbott and Costello (source I used for the script).

The AI tool is cool, but you can't always get them to have the right inflections in their voices.

Here's the ponified script:

Spoiler

Fluttershy: Well Twilight, I'm going to Manehattan with you. Bucky Hoovis, the Flankee's manager, gave me a job as coach as long as you're on the team.

Twilight: Look Fluttershy, if you're the coach, you must know all the players.

Fluttershy: I certainly do.

Twilight: Well, you know I've never met them. So you'll have to tell me their names, and then I'll know who's playing on the team.

Fluttershy: Oh, I'll tell you their names. But ya know, it seems to me they give these ball players nowadays very peculiar names.

Twilight: You mean funny names?

Fluttershy: Strange names. Let's see, we have... Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third-

Twilight: That's what I want to find out.

Fluttershy: I said, Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third.

Twilight: Aren't you going to be the coach?

Fluttershy: Yes.

Twilight: And you don't know the ponies' names?

Fluttershy: Well, I should.

Twilight: Well then, who's on first?

Fluttershy: Yes.

Twilight: I mean the pony's name.

Fluttershy: Who.

Twilight: The pony on first.

Fluttershy: Who.

Twilight: The first baseman.

Fluttershy: Who.

Twilight: The pony playing-

Fluttershy: Who is on first!

Twilight: I am asking YOU who's on first.

Fluttershy: That's the pony's name.

Twilight: That's whose name?

Fluttershy: Yes.

Twilight: Well go ahead and tell me.

Fluttershy: That's it.

Twilight: That's who?

Fluttershy: Yes.

PAUSE

Twilight: Look, do you have a first baseman?

Fluttershy: Certainly.

Twilight: Who's playing first?

Fluttershy: That's right.

Twilight: When you pay off the first baseman every month, who gets the money?

Fluttershy: Every dollar of it.

Twilight: All I'm trying to find out is the pony's name on first base.

Fluttershy: Who.

Twilight: The pony that gets-

Fluttershy: That's it.

Twilight: Who gets the money-

Fluttershy: He does, every dollar. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.

Twilight: Whose wife?

Fluttershy: Yes.

PAUSE

Fluttershy: What's wrong with that?

Twilight: Look, all I wanna know is: When you sign up the first baseman, how does he sign his name?

Fluttershy: Who.

Twilight: The pony.

Fluttershy: Who.

Twilight: How does he sign-

Fluttershy: That's how he signs it.

Twilight: Who?

Fluttershy: Yes.

PAUSE

Twilight: All I'm trying to find out is: What's the pony's name on first base?

Fluttershy: No. What is on second base.

Twilight: I'm not asking you who's on second.

Fluttershy: Who's on first.

Twilight: One base at a time!

Fluttershy: Well, don't change the players around.

Twilight: I'm not changing anypony!

Fluttershy: Take it easy, Twilight.

Twilight: I'm only asking you, who's the pony on first base?

Fluttershy: That's right.

Twilight: Okay.

Fluttershy: Alright.

PAUSE

Twilight: What's the pony's name on first base?

Fluttershy: No. What is on second.

Twilight: I'm not asking you who's on second.

Fluttershy: Who's on first.

Twilight: I don't know.

Fluttershy: He's on third, we're not talking about him.

Twilight: Now how did I get on third base?

Fluttershy: Why you mentioned his name.

Twilight: If I mentioned the third baseman's name, who did I say is playing third?

Fluttershy: No. Who's playing first.

Twilight: What's on first?

Fluttershy: What's on second.

Twilight: I don't know.

Fluttershy: He's on third.

Twilight: There I go, back on third again!

PAUSE

Twilight: Would you just stay on third base and don't go off it.

Fluttershy: Alright, what do you want to know?

Twilight: Now who's playing third base?

Fluttershy: Why do you insist on putting Who on third base?

Twilight: What am I putting on third?

Fluttershy: No. What is on second.

Twilight: You don't want who on second?

Fluttershy: Who is on first.

Twilight: I don't know.

Both: Third base!

PAUSE

Twilight: Look, do you have an outfield?

Fluttershy: Sure.

Twilight: The left fielder's name?

Fluttershy: Why.

Twilight: I just thought I'd ask you.

Fluttershy: Well, I just thought I'd tell you.

Twilight: Then tell me who's playing left field.

Fluttershy: Who's playing first.

Twilight: I'm not... stay out of the infield! I want to know what's the pony's name in left field?

Fluttershy: No, What is on second.

Twilight: I'm not asking you who's on second.

Fluttershy: Who's on first!

Twilight: I don't know.

Both: Third base!

PAUSE

Twilight: The left fielder's name?

Fluttershy: Why.

Twilight: Because!

Fluttershy: Oh, he's centerfield.

PAUSE

Twilight: Do you have a pitcher on this team?

Fluttershy: Sure.

Twilight: The pitcher's name?

Fluttershy: Tomorrow.

Twilight: You don't want to tell me today?

Fluttershy: I'm telling you now.

Twilight: Then go ahead.

Fluttershy: Tomorrow!

Twilight: What time?

Fluttershy: What time what?

Twilight: What time tomorrow are you gonna tell me who's pitching?

Fluttershy: Now listen. Who is not pitching.

Twilight: I'll break your leg if you say "who's on first"! I want to know: What's the pitcher's name?

Fluttershy: What's on second.

Twilight: I don't know.

Both: Third base!

PAUSE

Twilight: Do you have a catcher?

Fluttershy: Certaintly.

Twilight: The catcher's name?

Fluttershy: Today.

Twilight: Today, and tomorrow's pitching.

Fluttershy: Now you've got it.

Twilight: All we got is a couple of days on the team.

PAUSE

Twilight: You know I'm a catcher too.

Fluttershy: So they tell me.

Twilight: I get behind the plate to do some fancy catching, Tomorrow's pitching on my team and a heavy hitter gets up. Now the heavy hitter bunts the ball. When he bunts the ball, I, being a good catcher, am gonna throw the pony out at first base. So I pick up the ball and throw it to who?

Fluttershy: Now that's the first thing you've said right.

Twilight: I don't even know what I'm talking about!

PAUSE

Fluttershy: That's all you have to do.

Twilight: Is to throw the ball to first base.

Fluttershy: Yes!

Twilight: Now who's got it?

Fluttershy: Naturally.

PAUSE

Twilight: Look, if I throw the ball to first base, somepony's gotta get it. Now who has it?

Fluttershy: Naturally.

Twilight: Who?

Fluttershy: Naturally.

Twilight: Naturally?

Fluttershy: Naturally.

Twilight: So I pick up the ball and I throw it to Naturally.

Fluttershy: No you don't, you throw the ball to Who.

Twilight: Naturally.

Fluttershy: That's different.

Twilight: That's what I said.

Fluttershy: You're not saying it-

Twilight: I throw the ball to Naturally.

Fluttershy: You throw it to Who.

Twilight: Naturally.

Fluttershy: That's it.

Twilight: That's what I said!

Fluttershy: You ask me.

Twilight: I throw the ball to who?

Fluttershy: Naturally.

Twilight: Now you ask me.

Fluttershy: You throw the ball to Who?

Twilight: Naturally.

Fluttershy: That's it.

Twilight: Same as you! Same as YOU! I throw the ball to who. Whoever it is drops the ball and the pony runs to second. Who picks up the ball and throws it to What. What throws it to I Don't Know. I Don't Know throws it back to Tomorrow, Triple play. Another pony gets up and hits a long fly ball to Because. Why? I don't know! He's on third and I don't give a darn!

Fluttershy: What?

Twilight: I said I don't give a darn!

Fluttershy: Oh, that's our shortstop.

Aww, I got excited. So this isn't exactly deepfake software then. Most of these programs I thought you could record the voice you want to mimic (the more you record, the better the quality gets) and then you can act out the voice yourself and then "convert it."
