Rich Evans struggling to pronounce words

Owing to his role as the victim of slapstick comedy in Red Letter Media videos, editors will often focus on mistakes and mispronunciations Rich Evans has said when filming. People often comment on the practice as it has become more common.

Examples

• Best of the Worst: Halloween 2023: Rich mispronounces “Sticky Fingaz” as “Stinky Fingaz”.
• Best of the Worst: Back in Action vs. Enemy Territory:
  • “Billy Blanks” is misspoken as “Billy Banks”, who is shown onscreen.
  • “A random plow-plouse…” is shown onscreen as Rich says it instead of “house”.

Variations

• Best of the Worst: Bad Movie Scavenger Hunt Too: The panel struggles to pronounce the name of actor Dack Rambo, who is subtitled as spoken each time.
• Best of the Worst: Hawk the Slayer and THE ACTOR FROM MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE with the X-ray Eyes: Rich notes that Jack Packard is struggling to read the description of Hawk the Slayer with relief.
• Best of the Worst: Battle of the Genres: While not specifically a mispronunciation, Rich states confidently “I’m giving it to The Baby!” which is then edited to humorous effect.

Inversions

Despite the running gag of his mispronunciations, Rich is provably eloquent when he gathers himself to say something. Moments where Rich Evans says something particularly difficult tend to get reactions from other cast and crew members.

• Best of the Worst: Wheel of the Worst 27: Rich pronounces "Bible Baby's brain-blood barrier has been breached by bad bacteria" resulting in cheers by the panel.
