Yes, this is because helium is less dense than the oxygen that we breath. When the helium enters your lungs, it moves faster than the oxygen you are used to breathing and moves your vocal cords more quickly which gives you the higher pitched sound. However it is not safe to breath large quantities at a time because our bodies do not run on helium.

Yes, Helium does affect the pitch of the voice. However, the lungs are not developed to breathe noble gases, and too high a percentage of helium and not enough oxygen can cause tension neumothorax. -TEN TIBIAS

How can you make your voice funny?

Try sucking in helium found most commonly in balloons. Only the balloons that need a weight to keep them down have helium in them - because helium is lighter than air. Anyway helium will make your voice sound high- pitched therefore making your voice sound funny. Helium in big intakes can damage your lungs; but don't worry you would have to suck in a lot to damage them.
