His George Bush impression is easily the best in the history of SNL. Even if all of his other impressions sucked he still deserves the praise he gets for that alone.
>Lindsay Lohan
Are you referring to when she lost her fucking mind for a while and followed a muslim woman and tried to take the child from her while saying "Dooont fuck PAKI-STAN! Shaloh HALOH! PAKI-STAAAN" in the thickest fake middle eastern accent she could muster before being knocked on her ass for following her? This is all on camera by the way.
This movie was very forgettable. I thi k I saw a few tv spots for it back when it first came out and then I just kind of memory holed it. Years later I caught it on TV late at night and realized I hadn't dreamed up its existence.
true but he paved the way for zoomer comedians such as, well there's...uh...well let's just say no one was ever funny to cope with an entire generation of talentless tiktokers spamming lame dances as desperate cries for attention.
Listening to his podcast with Spade as we speak. His Trump is nowhere near as good as Gillis, but his classic impressions like Bush and Lorne sound amazing. My personal favorite impression of all time is Will Sasso doing Jesse Ventura. There's a clip of him and Bryan Callen and he sounds so much like him it's uncanny. Oh and Soder does a killer Macho Man.
His impression of the McLaughlin Group guy was the best one. Also he was the best kind of impressionist where his impressions weren’t accurate at all and more just like zany cartoon characters
Smigel took a similar approach to impressions when did those clutch cargo impressions on Conan, smigel said as much that he basically went for the Dana Carvey school of impressions to just turn the impression into an insane caricature
He is. One of the greatest straight men in the biz in my opinion. His part in the Natalie Portman rap video makes it work just as much as the actual song does. His delivery and timing is always great.
A second VCR cost five times the price of three thousand weekly rentals. People don't understand how much outsourced labor progressively brought down the cost of consumer goods from their peak. They look at very recent inflation rates and think it only reduced affordability overall.
I talk to people nowadays that don't realize how much home movies and cartridges cost back then. Which is why renting was so huge in the first place. Close to a hundred dollars for a tape or a 64 game.
FYI, this was Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks debut sketch and the first sketch featuring the then new cast who saved SNL in 1986 (this was after Lorne worked extra hard to find a good cast after NBC was super close to cancelling the show for good after the awful season before it with Randy Quaid, Anthony Michael Hall and Robert Downey Jr) you could tell right off the bat this cast was gonna be legends
this retarded Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz sketch with John Malkovich has been stuck in my head for 20+ years since i saw it on Comedy Central SNL reruns in the 2000s
In the days Comedy Central would rerun his standup special constantly I swear I watched it every time I haven’t seen it in like 20 years but feel like I can still memorize half of it
Anytime a Sting song comes on the radio, I often think about the one bit from this about Sting breaking the news to his buddies at the bar that he now wants to be called Sting and they react with, FUCK OFFFFF! NOW GO GET US MORE BEER, GORDON!”
Gay how every CHICKEN MAKE A LOUSY HOUSE PET! sketch with his Chinese guy character has been scrubbed from the Internt lol based Shane made him do the impression the SNL podcast a few weeks ago
Didnt he used play drums in a band for real? He always seemed like he could play whenever they’d have him do it in sketches once in a while, I’m pretty sure I remember a sketch where the Church Lady was on drums with Danny DeVito singing Christmas songs or something
post the picture of him in his turtle outfit watching 9/11 live
His quint from Jaws is spot on.
?si=62irW6FGV1cXkp-w
That's funny

His George Bush was good enough that on a white house visit Bush would have Carvey call in his secret service guards using his voice.
Well isn't that just special
>hey guys remember choppin broccoli
>yea that was great let's talk about that for 20 minutes
Dude is a legend.
lmao, never saw this skit before. God, that era of SNL was the best.
His George Bush impression is easily the best in the history of SNL. Even if all of his other impressions sucked he still deserves the praise he gets for that alone.
same with jay mohr
Name 5 people who are better than him at impressions.
nah
Darrell Hammond
Bill Hader.
Unironically, Kevin Spacey.
Example?
Not that guy but Spacey is a great impressionist. His Jack Lemmon is fantastic.
Me
Darrell Hammond
Chris Parnell
Beck Bennet
Cecily Strong
Lindsay Lohan

I would delete every Dana Carvey appearance in history to get one more prime LiLo SNL show.
>but anon what's that got to do with impersonations
Impersonations are shit-tier humor anyway.
TITS > all.
Prime Lindsay is TOP
Frank Caliendo was the GOAT sketch comedy impressionist
Chevy Chase as President Ford
What's the matter? Are they not turtley enough for you?
>Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club. Turtle, turtle, turtle!
>this made boomers piss and shid their pants with laughter
especially during 9/11
this shit fucking annihilated my sides as a kid, genuinely the most I've ever laughed in my fucking life. Don't know what I saw back then
This always looked like cringe incarnate
Actually retards. Age is no excuse.
it's funny. quoted it with friends and family for years. maybe it's not marvel-quippy enough for you
HOYA GOTTA DANCE
>WTC gets hit

okay fauchi
Hot 2023 take: Dana Carvey was never funny
Funnier than carlin.
rent free
Carlin was also never funny
>aren't nearly as good as he thinks they are
How do you know how good he thinks they are?
Wish I could do Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant half as well as him.
A Jimmy Stewart impression is just a less retarded sounding Don Knotts by the way and Dana knows this
master of disguise is top kino
for me it's james quall
Bring back Church Lady!
His impression of Tom Brokaw was good
?si=stTMJDYjHZm5cWVC
>turtle club
>become another person
it's the Carsenio show
Dana was the greatest SNL cast memember for doing the opening sketch
true but he paved the way for zoomer comedians such as, well there's...uh...well let's just say no one was ever funny to cope with an entire generation of talentless tiktokers spamming lame dances as desperate cries for attention.
Ok who’s the better impressionist then, Dana Carvey OR Jim Carey? Both were inspired by Rich Little and so was Martin Short too.

Will Sasso was a generational talent and could have been a lot bigger than he was. Imagine Will taking some of the roles Kevin James has had.
Agreed. He's way too talented to be where he's at in his career. His Seagal and Fred Durst sketches on Mad are hilarious.
Dana is one of those SNL people who are always funnier when they are in a sketch that they did not write nor star in.
I think this character would still allowed on TV. It falls in line with a particular agenda.
Robert Smigel probably wrote that.
It wouldn't be interesting. Metrosexuals have been normalized
His impression of the McLaughlin Group guy was the best one. Also he was the best kind of impressionist where his impressions weren’t accurate at all and more just like zany cartoon characters

Based
Okay the first one got me, and if I saw it in the 90s I'd probably think it was the funniest thing of all time.
>His impression of the McLaughlin Group guy was the best one.
Forgot about those and am watching them now, I am laughing over here..
The fake commercials are the best SNL sketches.
For me its Carsenio. It’s like night and day how much funnier SNL was in the 90s compared to now where it’s pretty much dogshit
Hartman and Carvey are pretty much the top 2 SNL cast members, maybe Eddie Murphy is number 3
Chris Parnell is so underrated.
Lol I dunno why this sketch came to mind when you mentioned him
He is. One of the greatest straight men in the biz in my opinion. His part in the Natalie Portman rap video makes it work just as much as the actual song does. His delivery and timing is always great.
He’s the only good character in Rick and Morty
It is easy to forget that SNL was funny at some point.
Lol they even had him do a Frank Zappa impression
The Dana Carvey Show was based (imagine this sketch airing today
Every time there's a new movie coming out with Sam Rockwell in it, I always think it's Dana Carvey until I see the credits.
CHOPPIN BROCCOLI!
he shoulda done more movies, i always liked this one as a kid but it seems like nobody today remembers it
I rented this so many times from blockbuster as a kid. I absolutely loved it. 10/10 taste.
Why would anyone rent the same movie more than once instead of just having two VCRs and bootlegging every movie you rent?
A second VCR cost five times the price of three thousand weekly rentals. People don't understand how much outsourced labor progressively brought down the cost of consumer goods from their peak. They look at very recent inflation rates and think it only reduced affordability overall.
I talk to people nowadays that don't realize how much home movies and cartridges cost back then. Which is why renting was so huge in the first place. Close to a hundred dollars for a tape or a 64 game.
No, it didn't, Clean Slate came out in 1994 when a VCR cost about as much as buying one high end porn VHS or renting 10 movies.
for me its Hans and Franz
FYI, this was Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks debut sketch and the first sketch featuring the then new cast who saved SNL in 1986 (this was after Lorne worked extra hard to find a good cast after NBC was super close to cancelling the show for good after the awful season before it with Randy Quaid, Anthony Michael Hall and Robert Downey Jr) you could tell right off the bat this cast was gonna be legends
this retarded Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz sketch with John Malkovich has been stuck in my head for 20+ years since i saw it on Comedy Central SNL reruns in the 2000s
NOT GONNA DO IT! WOULDNT BE PRUDENT!
his Ross Perot was the funniest political impression SNL ever had
the best one was Perot in the car with Hartman as his senile running mate, not sure why israeliteTube dont got that one
lel @ Sandler doing his Weekend Update "now gimmie some candy" shtick here
In the days Comedy Central would rerun his standup special constantly I swear I watched it every time I haven’t seen it in like 20 years but feel like I can still memorize half of it
Anytime a Sting song comes on the radio, I often think about the one bit from this about Sting breaking the news to his buddies at the bar that he now wants to be called Sting and they react with, FUCK OFFFFF! NOW GO GET US MORE BEER, GORDON!”
