#illustrative example: picture hannibal voice using the register and vocabulary of papa smurf

Thesis: Hannibal Voice™ is always funny because it perfectly threads the needle between using conspicuously formal language to discuss things that wouldn’t customarily warrant that level of formality, and discussing the very ordinary in very esoteric terms.

Corollary: you can adapt Hannibal Voice™ to any setting or milieu by swapping out the particular formal register and/or the particular esoteric vocabulary you’re using, and it would still work.
