I never played TF1, but the Heavy probably didn't have a voice then either, so Strong Bad's pretty much the only one here that this protest can't be made against, so for the sake of fairness, I've taken a lot of words to say that I'm opinionated but not bothered.
In TF1 they didn't speak much and the only real time they made noises was when, Dieing,Jumping,and calling for medic.
xD I love it when he does that! My friend was watching me play and when Tycho blurted that out (and his facial expressions were to DIE for) he was just like...
"..What the hell was that?!" 0.o
To be honest, I've never found Tycho actually "ADORABLE", until that very line (in which the VA helps with his cheerful voice tone);
Tycho: Ooh... Ooh! Let's see what the next card is! !!!
...
...D:<
Chaikin sounded like Stuey Griffin at that point. Other than that, I've thought "American-accented Narrator" (Sam & Max) but now I think about it, it's almost identical to Bugeye.

It WAS a total OOC moment and for some reason I LOVE it.
And he just sounds timid and childish in that line. It doesn't mean it makes him sound entirely like Stewie Griffin.
Just 'cause it's happened in canon doesn't mean it's not OOC. In fact I think the humor in those two strips is because it seems OOC for Tycho.
What makes the "let's see the next card!" for me is the way he suddenly gets all serious before the camera cuts away from him. Makes you wonder what's going on in his head when he says it...
Exactly. The fact that such a cynical and sarcastic character as Tycho has these bottled moments of childish glee locked up inside makes him a more interesting character.
The humor comes from the fact that it seems OOC, but that doesn't make it OOC.
Out of sheer curiosity, does anyone imagine him sounding like this when they read the strips? Or did we all just keep our previous ideas for his voice?
Personally, though I love Andrew Chaikin's portrayal dearly, I still imagine the Samuel L. Jackson/American Hugh Laurie/Tim Curry combination I mentioned earlier.

I do now that I've heard him in Poker Night, but since I've never heard Gabe that voice remains left to my imagination and until I hear him, that's how it will stay.

And all those voices were the same.
I thoroughly enjoy listening to him. Like, I eagerly wish for his next line with a voracity not unlike that of a Bengal tiger.
It kind of threw me off at first, but I got used to it and now he sounds good to me.

The third panel of this strip may prove that it's not as OCC as you may believe...
Or this one, for that matter.

This one as well.
Well... okay.

Also, just because a character usually swears and rants, it doesn't mean that he is required to be one-dimensional and always swear and rant.
Moments of glee happen in the comic. Moments of glee happen int he game. It's not out of character.
...but I still say he really does seem sarcastic about it with the timing and that he's really not happy with his hand.
