Several times I've played clips people posted of Phil where I didn't notice I had my sound off and confusedly thought, 'Why did someone post a clip of Phil sitting still, not moving a muscle, with his mouth hanging slightly open?' and then I turn the volume up and am startled to learn that Phil is actually speaking at a regular volume and pace without using any of his face muscles whatsoever.
It's another one of those really off-putting things Phil does that once you notice you can't unnotice. Like, try speaking without working your jaw or using your cheeks and lips to form sounds, just using your vocal cords and tongue to form sounds, and then think about what a lazy slob you would have to be to routinely speak like that in your job as a public personality on the internet.
It just occurred to me why I find it so off-putting. He looks like a ventriloquist speaking through his own mouth as if he were the puppet when he does it.
But yeah, he also does just start skipping consonants entirely where a phrase like 'Get the fuck out of here' is instead spoken by Phil as 'Getha FU ow ophere'.
