I love the intonation. 10/10

I can imagine Berdly Deltarune trying to explain this to Kris and Noelle in roughly this tone of voice.

Holy crap, that was hilarious! So pretentious!

Why must it have this overly obnoxious intonation...

It's explained in the linked blog post. The person who commissioned this thought it would be funny, and it is pretty funny

Are you kidding? This is perfect! This is exactly the kind of voice I would expect an absolute nerd quoting a RFC verbatim at me would have.

Only thing more perfect coming to mind would be Sheldon Cooper or Maurice Moss' voice doing the reading.

Have you tried an unexpected reboot?
