This is a film about a rather colourful character who tries to escape work detail in prison by being committed to a mental institution. Upon arrival he bands together the inmates against the rather dictatoral Nurse Ratched.
I really liked this film, as mr_e will no doubt confirm! Supurb acting and I was surprised by the 1975 film date on imdb.

A superb film and despite the subject matter, not in the slightest bit depressing.
Wonderful acting from Jack Nicholson. Probably my favourite film of his, closely followed by Easy Rider.
A definite
from me as well.

Did you know that it had been parodied in the Simpsons. When Homer is sent to the mental institue for wearing a pink shirt (and Barts poor judgement in filling in a Mental Health Questionnaire), they introduce him to The Chief.
Homer "Hiya Chief"
Chief "Hello!"
This is then followed by a bunch of keen scientists and doctor who are fascinated by the explaination "No one really speaks to me here!"
Classic Simpsons.

Yup, either that or it is a guest vocal double. . . .

that episode is quality. I can still remember ''Lisa its your birthday, god blessed you this day......''
I think it must be a voice parody because Wacko Jacko would surely never provide them with the rights to show him like that.

i tried to look in the credits for that episode but couldn't see any 'guest voice' like normal, it did sound very authentic though

lol, I should have known that you would have that episode on DVD somewhere!
This seems to give a clue to our answer here. It is an authentic voice but credited under a different name. I don't know if I should believe this or not. I will try and find a second source with the same information!

Second source.

Third source.
