I have to diagree. His reading of "Chopper...sick balls", and of course the way Reiner put the scene together, makes that so memory worthy.
I was thinking about making a post about narration, or at least narrators who I couldn't watch a show without. Although mine was more focused on television: the woman from HBO's Autopsy series, the guy from The New Detectives, Ron Howard on Arrested Development.
