Which comedian cast as a Krang gave the best performance?

So far, three notable comedians have been cast in the role of a Krang:

Rosanne Barr (TMNT 2012 show)


Gilbert Gottfried (TMNT 2012 sjow)


Brad Garrett (TMNT 2016 film)



My vote goes to Gottfried, since his Krang was updated to be a serious badass, being the leader of a group of alien invaders and also able to display moments of humor ("No, Megan Fox!").

I enjoyed Garrett, but he just didn't get enough time.

And Roseanne I found just okay.

I also voted Gottfried. He's the best, by far.

Gottfried, but I wonder who else could fit the role?... Justin Roiland maybe? He's stranger to sounding whiny and making weird burping noises, he'd be a perfect fit for the role.

Norm Macdonald could probably do a good one if he put in a bit of effort to not sound simply like his normal self.

Gottfried. I'm surprised with Rosanne's voice they managed to mess it up so much.

Gottfried, absolutely. I was accidentally spoiled that he was going to be there, but when I saw it, I thought it was sheer perfection.

I feel like Brad Garrett was wasted on Krang considering how little he did in the movie, and how little attention he got as a whole - with everyone focusing on Bebop and Rocksteady and Casey Jones for the most part.

I've always wanted to hear Brad Garrett voice Rocksteady in an animated feature/series.

I've only heard brief parts of Brad Garret's Krang, but it sounds a bit too deep for my tastes. Granted, the movie I'm not interested in seeing but perhaps in the future I'll give it a look.

Between Gilbert Gottfried and Rosanne, I gotta give it to the former. Gottfried, despite having a recognizable voice, is such a joy to watch; even with how silly his lines are at times, he's a blast to watch. Easily one of the best voices in the Nickelodeon series; just wish Kraang Sub-Prime was more prominent.

As for Rosanne, she's really bland. Like Garret, she has a deep voice for her character, Kraang Prime. However, considering how limited the character has appeared (especially compared to Gottfried), she's not remotely entertaining and just sounds rather bland for me. Blame it on dialogue, but I do wish Rosanne had some material to work with.

I know, it's not exactly like Roseanne doesn't have a unique voice. How could they get it wrong. She could have been a great Krang.
