− | Similar to the [[ | + | Similar to the "[[My Hobby]]" series, this comic depicts one of [[Randall Munroe|Randall]]'s goals in life: He wants to hire Academy-Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons to deliver all of Randall's dialogue in life (while Randall, perhaps, lip syncs it). He is apparently basing this desire on the fact that Irons, a clasically trained English actor, portrayed Scar, the main antagonist in the 1994 Disney animated feature ''{{w|The Lion King}}''. |

Thus, it's not entirely clear whether Randall enjoys Irons's deep, rumbling British-accented voice, or whether it's Scar's dialogue in the film that Randall truly would like to be speaking. |
