Everything Jon Benjamin does instantly becomes the absolute greatest. Dr. Katz, Home Movies, and Bob’s Burgers are just a few, but now, he’s done us all a favor and improved 2001: A Space Odyssey by replacing HAL’s voice. It might be more comedic this way, but HAL 9000 is also even creepier as a giggling lunatic.

Note: Audio for most of the video only comes through the left speaker. That’s probably for your own safety—your brain might not be able to handle twice as much Jon Benjamin.
