Do you do any impressions?

[BurtWorm]

Or do you do impressions of impressionists' impressions?

I used to do an okay Lyndon Johnson. Of course it was based entirely on David Frye's. And my Reagan only goes so far as "Well..." (with head slightly cocked) which I completely ripped off from Jim Morris.

I do an okay Billie Holliday singing "You're My Thrill."

[VelmaD]

1. I don a mean Ross Perot

Seriously. He and I are from the same general part of Texas and I do a dead on impression.

[BurtWorm]

3. Now that's just sad.

(Mine is via Dana Carvey, of course.)

[Catholic Sensation]

2. when I take a leak...

since I piss standing up I would say I do a damn good impersonation of Ann Coulter pissing.

[HEyHEY]

4. yeah tons

JOhn Madden, Bob cole, Brick top, Mickey the pikey. Great cockney accent. Al Pacino, Jean Chretien. Many more, but that's what come to mind right off

[LTR]

5. Did a mean Rush Limbaugh impersonation promo for Bartcop Radio

He sent me an email. Said he liked it.

Not sure if he still has it or not. Heard his system crashed.

I still have to track it down. It's on one of many CD-Rs I have stashed around here.

If you hear it, it's the one with the farting sound effects.

[MGKrebs]

6. I can sing like Chubby Checker.

But some confuse it with Kermit the Frog doing Chubby. Or Pee Wee Herman doing Chubby. Oh well.

[elperromagico]

8. I do a mean Kermit the Frog.

n/t

[TrogL]

7. I used to do aircraft

but nobody could make the distinction between a Cessna 172 and a Piper Cub.

I could do a Bell 27 to die for.

[NightTrain]

9. I do a great impersonation of Rich Little

:P

[mitchum]

10. Many, but they have a limited appeal:

William F Buckley
William Burroughs
Billy Graham
Fred Mac Dowell (speaking voice only)
Rev CL Franklin
Lou Reed
all of the Rolling Stones' speaking voices (Bill is actually the hardest)
James Dickey
Vincent Price

I also do a really good Walken and Peter Lorre (but who can't?)
It's a lot of fun to drive your wife nuts by singing "Positively 4th Street" as Peter Lorre. Try it!

[BurtWorm]

16. David Frye did the BEST William F. Buckley!

The tongue. The pencil. The eyes rolling back in the head. The words you may have come across once in your life.

[VOX]

30. He also did Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern!

He was the best I've ever heard.

[notobush04]

24. that's quite a bunch of voices, I can do....

you do quite a few!

I DO A MUCH BETTER THAN AVG. Bill Clinton, Kermit the Frog, H. Ross Perot, Jimmy Carter, Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, and I love to sing like Babs! It's funny! well, to some. HA

check out these great antibush items at http://www.cafepress.com/dubyabush I love the frisbee!

[VOX]

28. I drive the mrs. nuts by doing Gregory Peck as Miss Jane Pittman...

he can't top Cicely Tyson, but he's very funny (or so I think) rattling on about "that devil hoss" or "peoples thinks I'm crazy to talk to this ol' tree."

Don't give me any ideas! :toast:

[mitchum]

37. Oh man, that does sound great!

HAHAHAHA!

[RandomKoolzip]

11. I am known in several counties for my Elvis Costello impression....

Think of a wittily Noel Coward-esque phrase, like, "You are my favorite flavor of Merlot" or "We spent two summers on holiday in the Hamptons, " and pinch your throat, ululate in a mile-wide vibrato, and Voila! Instant Costello.

[soleft]

12. Brando, Stallone, Jimmy Stewart, Meryl Streep, Edie from Ab Fab

[corarose]

13. I use to do Nixon when I was a kid

My parents would make me do Nixon in front of everyone and they would laugh so damn hard.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Do you remember David Fry?

Now that Nixon's no longer around, the poor guy is out of a job...:shrug:

[corarose]

15. How about Rich Little

I would roll my eyes back and make a peace sign and I would say "I am the President and make no mistakes about that" or something like that.

I also would do a mean impression of my Grandmother who was a one of the meanest women on the face of the earth and all of my relatives would ask me to do her when she wasn't around.

[LastKnight]

17. fat albert, and milton from office space, and chewbacca

im a small white kid, and i can do fat albert, but odly not bill cosby. and its a damn good fat albert

-LK

[VOX]

31. I can do two or three Chewbaccas, but then my vocal chords blow out

My hat's off to you! :toast:

[ironflange]

18. No impressions, but

I do really good Russian and East Indian accents. I can also do a good cricket sound, and can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue.

[Blade]

19. Bobby Hill from "King of the Hill"

and Charlie Brown.

Did anyone else sniff today's garbage?

Good grief.

[NightTrain]

20. No, but Curtis Mayfield's wife did!

Sorry, but I couldn't resist. :P

[5thGenDemocrat]

21. Only two reasonably well

Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley.
John
Spent way too many years in the journalism biz.
ON EDIT: Oh, I do a passable Rod Serling, too.

[SOteric]

22. If you'd ever heard my voice you'd think this was hysterically funny...

but I do a pretty damned good Bart Simpson.

[BurtWorm]

23. I'm betting you have a very sexy voice.

Am I right? (Except when you do Bart Simpson.)

[SOteric]

25. *LOL* It's been suggested

but you never really know what to take seriously when someone's flirting. Most often I'm told I sound classy or sophisticated. This doesn't exactly conjure up images of Bart Simpson.

[Paul Hood]

26. Alan Arkin

[BurtWorm]

33. You may be unique!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

27. I do Alanis Morrisette .

Its something I do every holidays . I was bored when I came up with these

[VOX]

29. All the time. William Hurt, Muddy Waters, Gary Cooper, my accountant,

many colleagues at work, Sean Connery, Muhammud Ali (about mid-career), DeNiro (and no, not "You talkin' to me?"), Captain Beefheart, Jimmy Stewart (of course), Walter Brennan (younger version), Nelson Rockefeller, many more.

Usually, I will read aloud from a menu, or comment on some everyday bit of business in one of the voices.

When the wife's had enough, she says, "Knock it off and come on out -- I know *you're* in there somewhere!"

[BurtWorm]

34. You win!

I wish I had that talent. I wish, in particular, I could do Sammy Davis and Jerry Lewis without even thinking about it. But I'd settle for Captain Beefheart and Alan Arkin.

[trof]

32. Satchmo, Sinatra, Julia Childs

Interesting mix, no?

[Bertha Venation]

35. Steven Segal.

It's easy. Tell someone to ring like a phone. When they say "ring ring," you say, "Hello?" then wait a beat, then make a motion like you're picking up a phone.

[youngred]

36. I can do a few

Reagan, Clinton, Bush I, among many others.

[MisterP]

38. our new, shiny governor

"You are female; I must touch you."

[BrotherBuzz]

39. Robin Williams taught me...

so I guess it's an impression of Robin Williams doing an impression of John Wayne that morphs into George H W Bush. I heard it on the Tonight show years ago, and it cracked Carson up (cracked me up, too!). Johnny ask Robin how he does Bush (senior) impression so well, and Robin answered in a fantastic John Wayne impression, raising his voice into a whine as he finished it "Well, you start with John Wayne and then you simply tighten up the ass". It's so easy, and it works every time.

OK, I won't give up the day job.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

40. I do Joe Lieberman doing Jack Nicholson doing Joe Lieberman.
