Voice Recording Date
A Rachel Dratch sketch. Debuted October 8, 2005. Dratch played, ostensibly, "the woman" who provided the voice for all the ubiquitous speech recognition telephone systems for corporations, government agencies and the like. She would interact with people strictly as a speech recognition system would. Verbally giving the person a prompt to answer a question, for example, "Please say your occupation", and then repeating their answer with a phrase like, "I heard 'accountant'. Did I get that right?" In each sketch, she was either on a first date or meeting a man whom she found attractive (played by the episode's host). The sketch would end with Dratch's "speech recognition system" mishearing the man as propositioning her for sex, but "spoken back" to him in such a way that it was obvious that she wanted to have sex with him. For example, the man would say something completely innocuous like, "this is really good wine", to which Dratch's character might reply, "I heard, 'Let's just skip dinner and go have wild, sweaty sex', did I get that right?" The man, after momentarily being taken aback would "get it" and accept her backhanded proposition.
