Nevermind the Jerry Springer game. Ectomorph used to use a toy megaphone (little plastic thing) spoken into a mic for a (similar?) effect. Aux88 used headphones as a mic for effect. And then there's that whole mic-stand Bon Jovi thing... I guess what I like about this stuff is that it's abstract and creative - always reaching in new ways to make something sound unique.

Who knows what kind of post processing is being done, but I would run it through a vocoder after. Sanjay is right its like talking into a pipe, you get some interesting reverb from this.

Basically it creates funky phasing/reflections/EQ-funk-u-lizing to the sound before it hits the mic. I think Mike Patton does this live or used to... can't really remember. Had a roommate who talked about it a lot. I think its also something some drummers do so they can sing and thrash at the same time. which sounds awesome.
