Can You Imitate Anyone?

[redrum]

I'm pretty good at imitating Mr. Burns (Damnation!), The Comic Book Guy (Worst movie EVER!) and Hank Hill. Can sort of do Richard (I am not a crook) Nixon too.

Imitating people is something I have always done. My parents would ask me to do so at dinner parties when I was young because everyone would get a laugh out of it. The Mrs often starts to giggle when she hears me copy people's vocal mannerisms

Let's see:

I can do a pretty good version of Jackie Gleason (as Ralph Kramden) doing the huck-a-buck dance

I can squint like Clint Eastwood at people who annoy me--- and like to say "go ahead make my day".

I used to do a pretty good imitation of Tricky Dick Nixon.... but it was very much a rip off of Rich Little's impersonation.

I think everybody can do some version of Jack Nicholson, "Oh Wendy! I think you hurt me real bad" and "I'm gonna bash your brain in!"

And lastly I do an excellent imitation of Phil Collins on the drumkit playing "Rock & Roll" LOL.  Which is basically my admission I can't play drums for shit.

I love impressions and those who do good ones. That's funny you do Hank Hill, Redrum, I can sometimes get his exasperated noise. I do a decent JFK, among others

I love the youtube clip of the two guys arguing about how to do a proper Michael Cain impression, he's going "no, no, that's 70's Michael Cain, to do him now you must speak

much....more......slowly"

Let's see...I can imitate Daffy Duck to a certain degree and of course, Michigan J. Frog:

Sounds pretty good. I play drums too, but would never attempt LZ's 'Rock 'n Roll.' Bonham owns that one.

Hank is an easy one for me. Can't do Homer though.

One of the best cartoons ever made. My friend John actually found a time capsule box from 1910 in a building we demolished. There was no singing frog in it though.
