When you inhale helium from a balloon and talk, expect to sound kind of like a chipmunk! Many of us have fond childhood memories of sucking on a helium filled balloon and saying whatever came to mind. We just wanted to hear what our voices sounded like and it was always hilarious and so much fun! If you’ve never tried it before, then you’re missing out on one of life’s little joys.
This funny video clip from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is the perfect case in point. He was interviewing none other than the beautiful and talented actress Sofia Vergara when he suddenly pulled out a big red balloon filled to the max with helium. If you’ve ever seen the show you know how ridiculous and silly Jimmy can get.
He’s had his guests play everything from Charades to Egg Russian Roulette and participate in dance offs, slow jams, games of flip cup, and so much more. On this particular episode, Jimmy told Sofia how he thought it’d be awesome just to hear her talk on helium and he was right! Her accent + Helium = Fun and Entertainment.
The first thing he asked her to say was “My name is Sofia Vergara.” After she inhaled from the big red balloon she opened her mouth to speak and managed to say “my name” before she immediately started cracking up. The sound of her suddenly high-pitched voice surprised her and the crowd loved it. After repeating the full phrase she couldn’t help but comment about how good the helium made her English sound and she was right because it seemed to give her less of an accent.
Then Jimmy asked her to say something in Spanish for all of the Spanish speaking viewers watching, before he finally told her to say one last thing, “Ben Roethlisberger.” Accent or no accent, the football player’s name is already quite difficult to pronounce to begin with, but the way it rolled off her tongue all jumbled up from the helium made it sound so darn funny. You just have to hear her say it!
Sofia was such a great sport throughout the entire thing and she kept going back for more helium like she couldn’t get enough. The audience clearly enjoyed the whole bit as well, and of course Jimmy was as entertaining as he always is. Check it out for a good laugh and pass it on..
