BEEG AMERICAN TEETEES! Rent Roman and hear that line day in, day out ... forever
Jim Sterling05.13.08 - 8:53 PM 70 comments

 
It has to be said that Roman Bellic is one of the many joys of Grand Theft Auto IV. His determined optimism and love of beeg American teetees know no bounds, and I find him one of the most likable characters in the game.
 
What better way to enjoy the company of Roman even more than by actually enjoying his company in person? Yes, now YOU can rent a Roman of your very own to call you cousin and talk about the land of opportunity. Watch the above rather brilliant video to find out how.
 
[Thanks Tazar.]

This guys fucking hilarious, and he does a great Jack Nicholson impression.

He's actually a part of the comedy troupe "The Post Show," and you can see a shitload of their skits over at superdeluxe.com

Funny stuff. I like the disclaimer at the end saying the promotion has no affiliation with Rockstar or GTAIV, except, ya know, the fact he's one of the main characters in it, haha. Gotta love legal bullshit.

I want to rent him... forever.

Hate to say this, but I think it's kinda shitty to whine about the money you made on a job like that. You know it's for GTA, you know what you're making and you sure as fuck know what they're going to make off it. You get paid what you get paid. Voice acting isn't a great-paying gig, so if you don't like the money, go learn bricklaying or something.
