3. maximuz04 - November 6th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Wow, ive seen the list before but the video makes it a lot better!!!
4. Monkey222 - November 6th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
That guys voice is annoying!
5. Paulb - November 6th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
oh thankyou, its a Robert Stack specialty
6. Knightmace - November 7th, 2008 at 1:09 am
Awesome
7. pyderz - November 7th, 2008 at 5:36 am
voice is annoying lol , but still like these unsolved mysteries
8. Kittykat73 - November 7th, 2008 at 6:17 am
Couldn’t watch it all, what’s with the silly voice? Very annoying and off-putting. (Not tha accent, the tone and delivery.)
9. Baxter - November 7th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Haha, Robert Stack! Reminds me of Tourette’s Guy’s impression of him. Anyone seen that?
10. Hannah - November 7th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Don’t need the silly voices, the list would’ve carried the clip on its own. As it was, it was kind of painful to listen to.
11. dimitar - November 7th, 2008 at 7:06 am
that narrator’s voice i terrible…
12. Bob - November 7th, 2008 at 8:05 am
Enough with the videos. Nobody can watch them at work.
13. Phantom2k4 - November 7th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Your voice makes this unwatchable
14. Kass - November 7th, 2008 at 9:55 am
I like these video lists, but the guy has a very hard to listen to voice and facial expression which makes it almost unwatchable.
15. Blogball - November 7th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Nice job Paul and your editing techniques see to get better with each entry. The only thing I missed was seeing a countdown displayed on the screen, or you saying “coming in at number 5 etc.”
Without that feature, the stories on the list seem to all run together and made it a little confusing IMHO.
Other than that it was great. Also I had to laugh at “oh thank you, it’s a Robert Stack specialty” comment.
16. jardojo - November 7th, 2008 at 11:06 am
I had to click this video off after 1 min. This PaulB guy is misserable to listen to. WTF is wrong with his voice?
THIS SITE SURE HAS GONE DOWNHILL.
17. Jeremy - November 7th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Fun stuff. I’d heard all these before, but it’s still neat to hear about. Decent way with editing, more creative use of footage than I would’ve thought. But you could do a bit better with pacing– some of the stories ran together, kinda hard to follow. Fun stuff, though.
Jardojo: Don’t be a dick. Seriously.
18. Paulb - November 7th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Lol, haha you guys have obviously not watched the original unsolved mysteries. whatever you guys would haved lol’d
19. Paulb - November 7th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Its supposed to be making fun of his voice, in case you didn’t catch that
20. wheezer - November 7th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
He might be making fun but he sounds like a moron. it’s almost unlistenable.
21. grungefreak10 - November 7th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
The “Unsolved Mysteries” theme sure takes me back.
22. Aldo - November 7th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
His voice was bothering me. He trys to sound like a host.
23. Melanie - November 7th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
The voice sounds strained and makes the video difficult to listen to. It’s not entertaining.
24. PT - November 8th, 2008 at 5:40 am
Have to agree with #16 jardojo I couldn’t make it past the opening minute the voiceover was appalling. I’m sorry Paulb but you’re not even close to being half as funny as you think you are.
25. anto - November 8th, 2008 at 6:12 am
i think paul did a great job!!!! the video was fun to watch. make more!
26. Canuck - November 8th, 2008 at 7:37 am
Unlike some of those up there, I think you do a great job with these (although while that voice impression was recognizeable, it was still … horrible *shudder*). Seeing video clips with the lists just makes them all the better. One thing you could do to improve them is perhaps do some more research on the topics and present the new information along with the old, as right now it seems (at least to me) that you’re just reading the list, and not really giving us any more information.
Oh, and if you ever do one of the other of the Unsolved Mysteries lists, put up the Friedrich Valentich recording, or at least someone reading a transcription of it, it’s horrifying.
27. Jefarr85 - November 8th, 2008 at 9:07 am
He actually sounds sarcastic,as if he were mocking someone or something.But since his first video Ive always thought his voice was not suited at all.I would have watched the video in mute if I could.Oh well….
28. deliciousdanger - November 8th, 2008 at 9:29 am
“We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.” Crap.
29. Sherri - November 8th, 2008 at 11:11 am
I thought you did a good job, I didn’t have an issue with your voice, and I actually liked the whole crime show host impression.
30. Stardust - November 8th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
WHY is he talking like that lol
31. JacobS - November 9th, 2008 at 1:02 am
haha, I actually thought the voice was kinda funny.
Great video i liked it, gave me chills
32. Dante - November 9th, 2008 at 1:03 am
Wow you guys have really never watched unsolved mysteries have you? lol its Robert Stack. Just watch unsolved mysteries and you’ll understand
33. Jason22 - November 9th, 2008 at 1:04 am
haha i watched unsolved mysteries before, it was such a great show, the intro music and Robert Stack’s voice always creeped me out
34. Doll - November 9th, 2008 at 3:12 am
LOL great video. i kinda find the voice funny so the whole thing is quite entertaining =) Good job. I personally think that the voice helps because without it, this whole video would’ve been boring.
35. ScubaSteve - November 9th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Great video! Don’t listen to these netnoobs, none of them could do any better with video and narration I guarantee.
36. Kass - November 9th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
from all of his other video lists I have been put off by the way he talks. He does a great job, better than I could ever do.
37. Stardust - November 9th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Well, I grew up watching unsolved mysteries… this is (yes good) but creepy lol, and not in a good way. It’s not that bad
38. JamesE - November 9th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
hey paulb, don’t sweat these guys, this is great i love the voice!!1
39. Dante - November 9th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
That was amazing.
40. XCalibur - November 9th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
You guys like PT and all those other fags are jerks. Paulb your vids are the most entertaining thing on listverse (no offense jfrater)
41. Precision - November 9th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Good job on the video mate, don’t listen to the negative comments about the voice parody! There are some of us that understand the reference and find it entertaining
To those critics out there, submit your own video before you go judging the attempts of others. It’s easy to anonymously criticise people through comments…exposing yourself and your work to the masses takes far larger cohones 
42. Paulb - November 9th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Well thanks for the positive feedback guys, Well I knew the voice was going to be a wild card, I’ll remember next time not to draw it out of the deck again.
43. JohnGrish - November 10th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I don’t know what you guys are talking about, this guys voice is amazing its hilarious. You guys need to take the sticks out of your butt
44. Razremackham7 - November 10th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Don’t listen to the phaygnuts above, their just mad because their butts are sore
45. supasalami - November 12th, 2008 at 2:37 am
Thats Resident Evil music in the bacround.
46. President Barack Obama - November 12th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Uh… This, uh… Was… An amazing video… So, uh… Props to the guy that… Uh… Ahem… Made it.
47. hummus - November 13th, 2008 at 12:52 am
I concur,
I really would have loved to watch this, but that voice was SOOO utterly annoying that I had to stop 20% into the clip. With all due respect to the intention - maybe use a friend who has a better voice to narrate your projects.
48. Redcaboose - November 14th, 2008 at 12:43 am
Great videocast. And the cool voice only added to the mysteries. I was born almost the same time that Elizabeth Short was killed, and was raised in that part of LA. So, I grew up hearing the stories, theories, etc.
49. Shauna - November 14th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
You embarrass yourself by trying to either mimmick or lampoon Robert Stack. I have seen the original Unsolved Mysteries, and you are not funny or clever at all. Look at ALL of the comments stating how much your voice is disliked. Don’t bother posting any more with this voice, most of us will never watch them. You are a fool.
50. Joey - November 14th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Your voice is terrible.
51. Spinner - November 14th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
I agree, this voice made it unwatchable. Everyone in our office now uses “PaulB” as a synonym for being a failure.
52. Susan - November 14th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
You do not sound like Robert Stack. You do not sound like you are trying to make fun of Robert Stack. You just sound stupid. There are enough comments proving this.
53. Donna - November 14th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Spinner, that is a great idea, we are going to do it too. “PaulB” = failure.
54. Frogger - November 14th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
PaulB = unfunny failure
55. Evelyn - November 14th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Goodbye to Listverse forever. I won’t read another list after that voice.
56. Festus - November 14th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Listverse really pulled a “PaulB” on this one. HA!
57. Sniffer - November 14th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
I’m sorry, but I agree that the voice is pretty rough to listen to.
58. CarolCPA - November 14th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
I usually try to say something nice, but I had a really hard time with Paul’s voice too. I apologize.
59. cb - November 16th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Paulb I really like your lists and i didn’t have problem with this one at all it was sensational. To the people who wont come back to listverse after this good riddance we’ll be glad to get rid of your negativity! keep up the good work paul
60. Kippy - November 20th, 2008 at 12:03 am
Spinner! You suck! I admit, it was the voice that stopped me from watching it all the way through but your just being an ass for no reason. It’s not like yer man PaulB doesn’t see these comments. A plague on your house good sir(or young madam?!)
61. Kippy - November 20th, 2008 at 12:16 am
Actually, Shauna,your obviously just a cow
Donna,you fail at being a decent human being,
Frogger, your a total asshole,
Evelyn, Good luck to you and your face,
Festus, you can go pull your own knob
Now guys how does that taste?! Come on respond I dare ya!
62. Cris - November 20th, 2008 at 12:38 am
I’ve never seen a bigger group of jerks in one place in my life; and I’m referring to the people who’re making negative comments about the video. Obviously nobody has any manners anymore.
63. Aimée - November 20th, 2008 at 4:30 am
I second that thought Chris. Mark my words, their uppence will come!! I thought i’d seen worse stuff on the imdb.com boards but sheesh!!
64. Grounder - November 20th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
These deustch’s don’t care, their behind the safety of their computer monitor. They wouldn’t have the balls to say it to Paulb’s face
65. Pnact - November 20th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
PAULB SUCKS A$$!!!!! I’m glad he, and all the rest of you, can see these comments. He is an embarrassment to himself and his family.
66. RyanGuy - November 20th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
I agree with CarolCPA. I wish I could say something nice, but I really did not like the guy trying to parody Robert Stack’s voice. The list itself was interesting, just not the voice.
67. Tipper - November 20th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Good list but HORRIBLE VOICE>
68. Kris - November 20th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Kippy is PAULB’s girlfriend - for those who don’t know.
69. Cherie - November 23rd, 2008 at 8:16 am
Video is no longer available…
70. Heather - December 15th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
I like how you used the old show’s opening
