Shouldn't it have been best eye-gor?
Igor Manic or Ygor is the traditional stock character or cliché hunch-backed assistant or butler to many types of villain, such as a Dracula or mad scientist, familiar from many horror movies and horror movie parodies, Frankenstein and Van Helsing1 films in particular. He also appears in Dracula-inspired works such as Count Duckula.
An early representation in film is Dwight Frye's original hunch-backed lab assistant in the first film of the Frankenstein series (1931), though this charcter was actually named "Fritz". Mel Brooks's parody Young Frankenstein (1974) put a comic spin on the hunchbacked assistant as "Eye-gor". In 2004 Igor returned to the screen in Universal Studios' big-budget monster movie Van Helsing.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "Fronkensteen."
Igor: You're putting me on.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen."
Igor: Do you also say "Froaderick"?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No...”Frederick."
Igor: Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: It isn't; it's "Frederick Fronkensteen."
Igor: I see.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: You must be Igor.
[He pronounces it ee-gor]
Igor: No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: But they told me it was "ee-gor."
Igor: Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?
