Somehow the thought of inhaling something called sulfur hexafluride into my lungs / blood stream seems really unpleasent.

Of course, the ACTUAL!!! reason it makes his voice lower is because it has Sulfur which is the chemical of the devil... and "hexa" meaning six means the chemical is mystically structured with the number of the beast.

Which is why his voice sounds like a demon...

He's actually inhaling devil farts.

Devil Farts are AWESOME!

BWA-HA-HA-HAR!

he sounds like pen from pen and teller

i love his tee shirts. anyone notice that? he's always got funny tee shirts on.

YES!

I'm going to assume that his T-shirt is a Radiohead reference as that line is directly from the song Bodysnatchers. And because I love Radiohead.

Readi-Whip gas has a similar (but less dramatic) effect.

(btw: that is called Nitrous Oxide, aka 'laughing gassss')

This was fn hilarious when it was demonstrated on jay leno,

This gas needs to be called the "makes your laugh sound awesome" gas..

It's scientific! But wrong. Sound travels faster in gasses with lower molecular weight, rather than lower density. Most people will tell you it's to do with density because of wrongness like this, but science is about facts, not popular opinion.
