      Nah don’t think so. This one was more like this (minus the “evacuate as directed”). But this one sounds like that dude

          I don’t hear the resemblance to the first one, only the second

            true, but I know who pete smith is and am very very familiar with his voice being of A Certain Age. The “Emergency!” is dead on petey

              Sure. The commercials you linked predate me by longer than I’ve been alive, and in any case I don’t pay much attention to people who are in commercials

                the dude was pretty ubiquitous in the 80’s / 90’s. Even did a slew of stuff for Micallef - you couldn’t avoid him. He was everywhere. everywhere.

            It’s the old timie radio advertising voice. Clear and precise. John Deeks has a similar way.

            This is Pete Smith speaking.
