Among the various inhuman (or partially human) beings operating amuck (and every now and then working) at Cognito Inc. is the Mothman, who's accurately named Mr. Mothman.

Who's the voice actor in the back of Mr. Mothman on 'Inside Job'?

The goofy personality of Mr. Mothman is in keeping with the conspiracy theory surrounding a moth and human hybrid creature that wreaked havoc on Point Pleasant, W.Va., in the mid-'60s.

Actor, comic, and writer Ron Funches is at the back of the voice of the parodied city legend. Known for his sluggish, calming voice, Ron used to be completely cast as the dull head of Cognito Inc.'s HR (or IR?) division. Despite his low-energy voice, Ron's comedy fills theaters and comedy clubs with vigorous eruptions of laughter.

Whether it is jokes about his 10-year-old son beating an Optimus Prime piñata like he's a New Jersey mob boss, his tuba-playing cousin, or about making up conspiracy theories when he is bored (which is somewhat becoming), Ron Funches is a hoot. Aside from his stand-up, Ron hosts the Apple Podcast Gettin' Better with Ron Funches and has portrayed many characters in each TV presentations and flicks.

Ron put out a live-stream YouTube stand-up particular, titled Awakening, in September 2021. The show had a small, socially-distanced stay target market of simply 10 other people, and, after all, accrued a big online target market.

"I think a lot of people are looking at what’s going on in the world as a negative, as a catastrophe, as an Armageddon. And I kind of look at it as an awakening," Ron informed The Daily Beast.

"There’s always been these negative things going on, there’s always been this deception, but it seems like more and more people are awake to it. And more and more people are aware of it and people are just waking up. But here’s the difference between being awake and being woke. People can be woke and asleep as f--k," he persevered.

Clearly a humble soul, Ron feels "blessed" considering the amount of younger, struggling comedians who are out of work due to the pandemic. “Not that I ever noticed this coming, but there was once a real hecticness to my work ethic of like, I will’t be at the fringe anymore,” he explained. “I do know that lifestyles. I used to be on meals stamps. I was on public housing and those are the folks who get hurt essentially the most, the quickest.”

Ron Funches has described his comedy style as "finding the positive in a negative," which we truly love.
