It's awful SNL only used him mainly as Obama and Jay Z. It felt like LesIie Jones and Keenan were the only bIack members because Sasheer Zamata was also forgotten. Compare them with Tim Meadows, he was essential for SNL because the writers created roles for him in the 90s. He was as essential as Phil Hartman because they're both great actors.
lol and the boy takes the watch without hesitation, not even asking whether it was washed thoroughly. Maybe he knew he would one day have to carry it in a similar fashion
Jay Pharoah needs his own show with a different impersonation every week. Just saturate us with all the hundreds of impressions you do. WE NEED THEM. Do you realize that he also does Goku? I mean this guy's vocal talents are incredible.
Funny thing about Jay Pharoah is, he also does a great Will Smith. So it would be cool to see him do a bit with both Chris and Will from the awards show.
The greats understand that the secret to a good impression isn't the voice, it's the body language. Check out Kevin Spacey doing Al Pacino for another example of this.
Ariana is really talented. She kills it all the time on the Tonight show and SNL. The thing about it is that she enjoys it so much, maybe as much as singing. That's real talent.
@@clairewillow6475 I know right?? saw her in concert in 2019 and really saw some potential in the little bit of choreo she did during some of the songs! Also in the music video for 34+35 too!
It’s also scary how much it isn’t her anymore since she’s had so much surgery. Just within the last couple of years, she’s completely changed and looks nothing like she did. It’s pretty unsettling.
Jay pharaoh doing Chris Rock and James Marsden doing Mathew McConaughey were the best ones! Of course we can't forget about Seth MacFarlane either he's awesome too!
#7 Jay Pharaoh as Eddie Murphy...... the eyes at the end just KILLED me :) #9 Zac Efron as Michael Jackson....... LOVED it when he said he was crying with joy....... that'd be a severe "me2!!!!!". How cool of Michael to even think of calling him back :) And then "dreams really do come true, don't they?" To this day one most awful loss to the world, Michael; that poor soul was tormented comin' and goin'.
I'm DISCUSSED 🤢 that Zac Effon viewed Michael Jackson 🧤👶 as a " hero ". I'll never look at Zac Effon the same way again . He's lost my respect . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺
sarah paulson is extra talented ive seen her do 3 impressions now and they are really too good. THESE PEOPLE ARE TALENTED and that is entertaining lmao
Can we quit playin and make Jay Pharoah a household name already?! The man is crazy talented and deserves all the success. Dude, even the hand gestures were on point!! Also, Tom Hiddleston can get IT!!!!!
The Zac Efron/MJ story almost made me cry! I think I genuinely felt his heart! But also I was put on the phone with Smoky Robinson as a kid and all he asked was for me to put the other person back on the phone too! 🤣 I was 5 or 6 and thought I was talking to Smokey the Bear, but anyways…
Seeing Robin Williams on this makes me sad feel like he was apart of my childhood. Wish he was still around making us laugh and doing it so effortlessly.
These compilations are truly amazing! Hats off to you. I can’t even imagine the time it took to put these together. I mean, this is amazing. Thank you for this content.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, according to Oscar Wilde. Well, the full quote is: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” But I don't consider great impressionists to be mediocre.
Jay Pharoah, James Marsden, Tom Cruise, Vanessa Bayer, and Maya Rudolph are the most accurate of the bunch, in my opinion. While Bill Hader's Al Pacino will always be incredibly entertaining, Titus Welliver does the most accurate impressions of Al Pacino from 3 different eras. It cannot be beaten.
Pacino is my favorite actor. I've heard so many impressions of him, but what would impress me would be someone who can do all the levels of his voice as it has changed so much over the years. His voice from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
@reerobinson744 Yes, she is. I wasn't too surprised, as I knew she was highly talented from the start. It was just a matter of giving her projects that would challenge her. Aubrey is here to stay, and we're lucky to witness her skills.
6:05 One of the funniest things I've ever seen. "Here's Jon Hamm hitting a bad golf shot... do the thing... I don't give a shit, I look like this." LMFAO
Jay Phoroahs’ Chris Rock brought tears to my eyes. I ❤️ Rocks voice to begin with, Jay is so good it almost too good; the voice I love. Many other good ones. Ariana was a surprise and good, Marsden did excellent. I’m surprised more people don’t do Ray Romano.
James Marden's McConaughey impression is perfect.
I thought it was really Matthew
I don't think it's possible to do a more accurate impression.
that was actually incredible
As in this case, sometimes the impression is so good it's better than the original. Like Jim Carrey doing Andy Kaufman.
agreed. but it's Marsden.
Seriously... Jay Pharoah is a genius at this. Blew my mind.
Jay Pharoah is so good, not only did he sound just like Chris and Eddie but his facial expressions and mannerisms were spot on too.
The Eddie Murphy one was so bang on.
Yeah the shifty eyes of Eddie was killing me 😂🤣
I was only listening until this point. Had to check, because I thought it was actually Chris and Eddie.
That was freaking incredible. I really thought that sounded great, esp his Chris Rock. Spot on, identical sounding!
I agree, he was awesome!
I loved it when Vanessa Bayer did that impression on SNL with Jennifer Aniston sitting right next to her... That takes guts.
I miss Vanessa being on snl. And it sucks that Cecily Strong has now moved on.
Especially when it's a really poor impression/imitation.
Well she was doing a skit on SNL. Doesn't take any guts lol literally doing what's she's paid to do?
It was amazing both of them being Rachel Green. Time to watch FRIENDS!
When they both sync up on the "ROOOSS"
Jay Pharoah is so spot on it’s scary.
For sure I thought he was lip syncing! So good! It’s so cool people can mimic so perfectly!
Amazing. Actually made me realise I need to tell my son to watch Beverley Hills Cop
A lot of these were excellent, but Jay killed.
He actually LOOKS like the people he's impersonating!
It's awful SNL only used him mainly as Obama and Jay Z. It felt like LesIie Jones and Keenan were the only bIack members because Sasheer Zamata was also forgotten.
Compare them with Tim Meadows, he was essential for SNL because the writers created roles for him in the 90s. He was as essential as Phil Hartman because they're both great actors.
0:33 Marsden’s McConaughey is quite possibly the best I’ve ever heard!
1:24 Pharoah’s Rock and Murphy are amazing too - his eyes, wow.
Jay wasn't doing impressions, he was possesed by the spirits of chris and eddy and they spoke through him 🤣
This comment 🤣
Truer than you might think be was certainly throwing the x signs with his fingers to call on his powers
Seriously best impression I've ever heard
Wtf, spirits of absolutely *living people?*
@jayeankh5671 I might be inclined to agree with you but I also suspect it may potentially be a comfort thing for him
For some reason I can't get enough of Christopher Walken impressions. I even love it when Christopher Walken does it.
lol and the boy takes the watch without hesitation, not even asking whether it was washed thoroughly. Maybe he knew he would one day have to carry it in a similar fashion
Dave Grohl has a good clip of Walken
The guy who played Walowitz on TBBT does an incredible Walken.

Seeing Robin Williams instantly made my heart flutter. I miss him.
Yeah me too, wasnt he so amazing!? Brings me right back to my childhood. Such a sweet and happy face who woulda ever thought he was the sad clown.
He was one of a kind. Miss him dearly ❤️
Every once in a while he shows up on my screen, and it makes me a little sad.
Definitely
@@amritbalraj6049 I always tear up a little

How have I never seen Jay Pharoah? Those two impressions were possibly the most accurate impressions I’ve ever seen.
The Brittany Spears and Courtney Cox were great. Also Chris Rock.
He was on SNL for a few years. Dude can do an impression of anyone.
Omg! Aubrey Plaza always amazes me with her coolness. Doing Marcia Gay Harden's scene from Pollack "You need you need you need you need!!!" Love it!
I love how intense she was 😂
Jay Pharoah doing Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy is CRAZY! If you only played audio of that and told me it was them I would believe it.
I wonder if he can do Richard Pryor or Dave Chappelle.
his Eddie Murphy is about perfect. The Chris Rock could use some work though.
Yes to EM, that was out of the park @@justmemememe3354
Funny thing about Jay Pharoah is, he also does a great Will Smith. So it would be cool to see him do a bit with both Chris and Will from the awards show.
take my money ....
I want to see this.
Lmfao damn smart
Omg yes lol 😂
Ha! You sir, are evil, and I love it.
Whoever selected the thumbnails of the celebrity being impersonated is the real hero of this video.
Maya doing old school Gwen Stefani was perfection
1:31 the best thing was Chris Rock's hands impression. He's got this weird claw thing going on... I'm glad that was picked up on by Pharoah!!
The greats understand that the secret to a good impression isn't the voice, it's the body language. Check out Kevin Spacey doing Al Pacino for another example of this.
Ariana is really talented. She kills it all the time on the Tonight show and SNL. The thing about it is that she enjoys it so much, maybe as much as singing. That's real talent.
If she could dance she’d be a triple threat
She has the weakest impression in the video.
she also knows how to get the man she wants. especially those married ones

Hader’s Pacino is unreal…gets me every time
Agreed.
Alec Baldwin's is also good.
“Open up” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Listen to Titus welliver pacino
Expected him to say “she had a GREAT ASS!”
Jay pharaoh is brilliant, one of the best impersonators
i never knew chris rock and eddie murphy could do such a good jay pharoah impersonation
Heheh
Hahahaha 😆
Incarnation
Idk they kinda just sounded like themselves 😂
Harrison's reaction to Benedict's impression of Chewbacca got me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was so cute and wholesome!
He had a wtf look LoL
You didn't die. That's a ridiculous thing to say.
@@markfox1545 you get your rocks off correcting people for using exaggerated words? Not judging just curious LoL
@@markfox1545No reply yet. Might have died.
The Chris Rock & Eddie Murphy impressions had my jaw on the floor! Matthew M. One was good too!
when Harrison Ford jumps thinkin his ole buddy is sitting beside him..priceless 💗💗
Ariana Grande is just so scarily, talented and such a mimic. I love her so much.
She is just ridiculously good with her impressions.
Her Jennifer Lawrence is hysterical.
It’s also scary how much it isn’t her anymore since she’s had so much surgery. Just within the last couple of years, she’s completely changed and looks nothing like she did. It’s pretty unsettling.
@flatsamiscool I was totally thinking the same, I was distracted by how drastically different she looks now rather than her impersonation 😬
Yes. Did you see her on SNL when she did impressions of other female singers? She was perfect.
Tom Hiddleston is so good at impressions. You should see his one of Graham Norton after just meeting him
That impression was very basic actually. Tom sounded like he was impersonating a leprechaun.
@@daCubanaqt🙄
Hiddleston’s impressions are really bad, in my opinion
He's so fine!
1:25 I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT, I LITERALLY would think that was Chris Rock if I didn’t know!
Tom Cruise's Donald Duck impersonation was not anything special but it was SOO on point
Much like his acting.
Gollum in my ear
Tom Cruise impersonating a person is scary enough really
Jay pharaoh doing Chris Rock and James Marsden doing Mathew McConaughey were the best ones! Of course we can't forget about Seth MacFarlane either he's awesome too!
Sarah Paulson...So talented. She'll always be the undercover Pinkerton agent to me!
So great how everyone has a different favorite.
The only one I went back and watched 2 more times!
She was hilarious.
I love her, but that was a terrible impression
She's amazing
She seems able to do anyone on the spot, that’s extraordinary
#7 Jay Pharaoh as Eddie Murphy...... the eyes at the end just KILLED me :)
#9 Zac Efron as Michael Jackson....... LOVED it when he said he was crying with joy....... that'd be a severe "me2!!!!!".

I'm dying at "a bushel of BMWs" in Tyson's voice
The Eddie Murphy impression is unbelievably good.
Maya Rudolph sings Gwen so well she could go on tour in her stead…..
No doubt.
@@waynej2608 Best ever youtube comment !
Maya's mom, the late, great Minnie Riperton was an awesome singer. Family genes perhaps.
I could watch Bill Hader do his Al Pacino impersonation all day. His and Jay Pharaoh's were the best ones. 😂
You're the only one not sucking up to the average to awful impersonators, like Paulson, so you have my respect and I agree with you 💯 percent
hader's pacino sounds more like a really pissed mitch hedburg
💯
Jen Aniston doing an impression of herself though 🤣

Got goosebumps and teared up. Def not a great impression, but what an incredible experience to share ♥️
Austin Butler’s impressions are the most normal he’s sounded in a while😭
No! Never let the Elvis accent die! Hahaha. He says he can't help himself but who knows? 🤷♀
Loool it’s so dumb but it’s nice to know he CAN actually escape it
1:30 - Jay Pharoah was sooo spot on - had me in stitches 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂👌👌👍👍😂😂🤣🤣
Ok, Robin Williams’ Nicholson impression is basically perfect.
Jay Pharoah and the Murphy googly eyes-GENIUS!!!!!
sarah paulson is extra talented ive seen her do 3 impressions now and they are really too good.
THESE PEOPLE ARE TALENTED and that is entertaining lmao
100% agree
Jay pharaoh is on time! And the Matthew McChaunahey skits are always so funny
Jay Pharoah's impressions sound like a damn voice recording of the people he's doing, he's incredibly talented.
Donald Duck is definitely a celebrity. I saw him at a pond one day and asked him for his autograph, but he said no. He was a total duck about it
I bet it was a very animated conversation.
😂😂😂😂
You should have said "DUCK YOU DONALD!!!"
He just didn't give a duck
I couldn't stop laughing over Jack Hughman 😭
Some very impressive impressions here but Jay was scary accurate. If anything, I thought his Eddie Murphy was even better than his Chris Rock
Bill Hader is one of the best impersonators.
Jon Hamm's Ray Romano was actually fucking great hahaha
The two skits together were just hilarious.
Lmao!!!
That one cracked me up because you’re expecting a typical impression and instead it’s 70% disappointed Ray Romano noises.
3:05~ That Marcia Gay Harden was perfection!!! 😂😂😂
1:46 This is top notch. No competition.
4:18 Ian McKellen was so cute when he got embarrassed there😅
James did a better Matthew than Matthew
😂😂😂😂😂
Best impression I've ever heard is Mark Hamill doing Harrison Ford - but oh my, Jay Pharoah is on point!!
Bill Hader's Al Pacino is so realistic, it's like he's channeling him.
Emma nailed the Britney impression
Ariana Grande’s Jennifer Lawrence impression is underrated
Jennifer Coolidge
It's really not.
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 Ariana Grande does a great Jennifer Lawrence impression, but it wasn't on here.

Robin Williams; such a world-class talent! RIP
The Jamie Fox Mike Tyson story is a killer ,,,,love the part where the black girl says "Whatcha gonna do Jamie , you gonna tell your little joke"?
As Norm Mcdonald once said the best impressions come from love.
Love of comedy
