Helium Speech	comment	Because helium is lighter than air, when you inhale it and try to talk, the sound waves travel faster through the lower-density gas, resulting in reedy, duck-like voices that can be used to great comic effect. This can be tried in real life, although it should be noted that helium displaces oxygen in your lungs, so breathing it too long can be harmful. Gasses that are heavier than air, such as sulfur hexafluoride and xenon, have the opposite effect, resulting in a temporarily evil- or gruff-sounding voice, but this rarely appears in fiction probably because the gas is less widely known. They're also a lot more dangerous; for obvious reasons, it's easier for a heavier-than-air gas to build up in your lungs than a lighter-than-air gas. Unless you're standing on your head. Because it is easy, plausible in many settings, and can be very funny, helium voice often shows up in fiction. It should be noted that contrary to popular belief, helium actually changes the timbre (as in the quality) of one's voice, not the pitch. Regardless, those who favor the easy and cheap way of getting things done or just didn't do the research still go for artificially pitch-shifting the characters' voice in spite of this tidbit. Instant Soprano is a more-painful way to induce higher-than-normal vocal pitches in fiction. Often a deliberate invocation of Voice Change Surprise.

Helium Speech / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: In Fate of the Jedi: Outcast, Luke Skywalker's teenage son Ben removes his oxygen mask on a planet with a lot of helium in the atmosphere (Plo Koon's homeworld in fact). He then goes on to sing a song to the annoyance of his father. A very sad song. Until you imagine it in a helium voice.

Strong Bad inhales some helium, and sings a little song about being in "the High-Voice Crew". The Cheat tries it and suffers an Inflating Body Gag, but when Strong Mad tries to do this it has no effect on him:

After realising that crouching below the microphone won't work on radio Frasier grabs a balloon (which are popped to simulate gunshots) and hands it to Niles so he can inhale the helium for a high-pitched voice.

Then they use voice changers to imitate the Trainers' usual voices. It fails because Pikachu immediately recognizes his true trainer, Ash, regardless of his voice. Officer Jenny's Growlithe are fooled for a while, but eventually catch on.

On the way up, they end up losing most of their air supply, and Kiku replaces it with "extra" air.
