Your impressions [merged]

[kalowski]

Laughed. My first thought on seeing the thread title.

I can do a really good Barney Gumble. You can't always find the right environment because it has to be shouted to be effective but on more than one occasion I've collapsed a room with "ARE YOU SURE?? I MAKE 'EM WITH TWO KINDSA CHEESE!!" and "WOW YOU WANNA BAD NIGHT? TRY SLEEPIN' ON ONE O' THESE!!"

I approve of this kind of impression. Like the mention of Chooch from Top Cat any impressions of classic cartoon stars are winners to me.

I can do a reasonable Tony Benn, although it often starts to morph unintentionally into Richard Wilson.

I can do a pretty decent Tony Benn, and apparently so can the Queen.

[Tikwid]

Worzel reads the Navy Seals copypasta

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

"Little Lisa" works very well

I wish my last girlfriend had said that to me :(

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Anyways...

Mark E. Smith ( but have been told numerous times to stop doing it, the most recent of which was the companion I was with last week who told me in no uncertain terms that if I ever did that in public again, I could fuck off and cease all contact with them)

Leonard Rossiter as Rigsby

Kenneth Williams, but anyone can do that, just sort of pretend you're a sheep attempting to speak, and say " Oooh, Matron"

Ade Edmonson as Vivian  but it starts morphing into the late Robin Day

We've definitely done this thread before, haven't we?

[ToneLa]

William Shakespeare
Lord Palmerston
Caprice

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Can anyone do a decent Deputy Dawg?

[gilbertharding]

I haven't had a chance to do my celebrated David Frost for ages.

"Hawooooo G'Deevninann Wewcum."

[David Pielingtonburygrot]

What do you think of this one: "So, the producer said to me..."?

[Hand Solo]

I haven't had a chance to do my celebrated David Frost for ages."

I can do the younger Frosty: "Glug, glug, glug... Oh, thank you Peter. Super, super!"

And the older Cook: "Glug, glug, glug... Am I going to be Ok George? Oh fuck."

[Dex Sawash]

Can anyone do a decent Deputy Dawg?

Pretty much naturally sound like Quickdraw McGraw but can do Baba Looey but that risks #CANCELLED.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

I can do a good "Stop SAYING that Withnail, of course he's the FUCKING farmer!"

[kitsofan34]

Which human being can you impersonate the best?

Doing a good impression of a thread halfway down page 1

[Puce Moment]

Clive James saying "Margarita Pracatan"

Peter Cook saying "he looked so fucking vulnerable" in character

[avatarlessnessophilia]

I can do a decent one of my dad. "Is that _____? It's _____" and also Davros. "Is that Doctor Who? It's Davros, mate."

I'm starting to think, though, reading this thread that the real skill lies in being able to approximate the voco-timbral qualities of these characters/ people with one's own voice. If anything the near falsetto I use when doing an impression of my dad is just random. I've never met him.

"Is that Donald Trumps? Yeah it's the English comedian Stewart Lee ringing you as Boris Johnsons, mate."

That's my repertoire I'm afraid.

[Sony Walkman Prophecies]

Phil Cool. A hit amongst relatives when I was 12, and still going strong.

[ProvanFan]

Fat man from Nissan Micra advert

[Phoenix Lazarus]

You can impersonate a lot of seventies celebrities by carrying out an opportunistic sexual assault in private.
