Question

My basketball coach always says we look like oliver "snerd" when we do somthing stupid. Who is that?

Answer 1

Oliver Snerd was a ventriloquist dummy who was voiced by the late Edgar Bergen. Edgar is also the father of Candice Bergen the actress.

Answer 2

That is right and actually his name was Mortimer Snerd. Ventriliquist Bergen had 2 dummies in his act and the other was Charlie McCarthy who wore a tux and was smart and sarcastic. Mortimer Snerd was dim witted and slow . . . but of course, funny.
