I guess you had to be there, but Phil Hartman's Admiral Stockdale will never not make me laugh.
I think you didn't say Kate McKennan as Fauchi...I really loved Kate and I would wet myself laughing at her on Weekend Update totally destroying Colin Jost (Mr Johansson ) She was the one of the best EVER in my watching of SNL...I watched it in the old school days...Dan Akyroid, Bill Murray, Chevy chase, Dana Carey , Chris Farley, Phil Hartman (RIP), Eddie Murphy

You’re absolutely right it’s probably because those who can recognize these actors as the actors they’re portraying it probably means we’re old
I would much rather hear the skits rather than the rambling on and on and on of the commentator
Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer was hysterical.
It's funny how so many Tr*mpublican males are better parodied by women. Spicer, Graham and Cruz, for example.
Should be number 1
I forgot Sessions and Giuliani, LOL
Her dressed up like that as the thumbnail made me click 😂
She's a national treasure 🥰
Love to see Tina Fey do impressions of Bobert.
Boebert doesn’t deserve that honor
Ya can’t really satire Boebert. What more could ya do to make her look more ridiculous than she already is. In fact, it’s getting harder and harder to satire Republicans these days without just acting exactly like them. Just look at Katie Britt’s SOTU rebuttal a few weeks ago
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
I've heard that by saying her name 3 times, she will appear
Jay Pharoah as Barack Obama and Cecily Strong as Janine Pirro were underrated!!!
Tina Fey as Sarah Palin was more Palin than Palin.
'I can see my house from here"
"I can see Russia from my house"
Sorry, I blew it on the 1st quote
Frustratingly too much loud voiceover
Yes, please cut that back!
That's what I was just thinking. Show us some damn clips. Let them do a little speaking for themselves. Hahaha it's why I clicked on it.
One of my favorites is Kate McKinnon doing Rudy Giuliani
Snubs: Scarlett Johansson as Katie Britt, Kate McKinnon as Rudy Giuliani and Kellyane Conway
You should also include Scarlett Jo for Senator Katie Britt.
Scarlett also did a great Ivanka shilling for a perfume called "Complicit."
That was over the top, “perfect“! 😂
She should've been on the list.
Right!
The only thing funnier than Norm MacDonald doing his impersonation of Bob Dole, was him doing it in front of him. That impression was so over the top & Bob Dole going along with it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on the show.
And let's not forget Tina Fey doing the Alaskan Governor, when the actual lady came onstage!
My late wife one time walked past the TV and saw Tiny Fey imitating Sarah Palin and said, "I hate that woman" I busted up laughing and told her "That's not Sarah Palin that's Tina Fey a comedian doing an impression of her."
Bill hader as Jim Jordan and Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer, pure gold lol
Less narration and more of their actual performances. The narration is annoying. We don’t need to be told the performance will leave us laughing.
Exactly
@@gogomimazoom8114AGREE WITH YOU SWEETIE ❤
Agreed. The narration ruins it all…
We can’t see how funny they are as u speak over their performances!
Watchmojo is always like this. You were expecting different?
They are all good, but Matt Damon as Brett Kavanaugh was the best any of us have seen in a long long time. He nailed it.
Jim Carrey as Joe Biden and Alec Baldwin as Trump was pure gold
No it was pure propaganda.
Plus, the fact that Trump absolutely hates it is just the icing on the cake!😂
You bout to lose yo job!!! 😂😂😂
@@MintyFreshTurds show me on this doll where SNL hurt you
@@MintyFreshTurds Pure gold. What a shame Tr*mpists have no sense of humor.
Phil Hartman was the GOAT of impressions
he's still pretty good
@@JohnnyCaruthersHe's dead.
@@heatherpayne1995 who
@@JohnnyCaruthers Why let everyone in the comment section know you're ignorant?
Poor Phil. The man was a genius! What he would have done with the rest of his career would have been outstanding. Sad.
I forgot about Matt Damon doing Kavanaugh. 🤣🤣
My forever fave is Dana Carvey as Ross Perot. “can I finish, can I finish, can I finish?!?”.
Dana Carvey's portrayal of Ross Perot is definitely a classic! What other Dana Carvey characters do you enjoy?
@@WatchMojoJimmy Stewart, Johnny Carson, Regis, Katherine Hepburn, George Michael, Church Lady, Garth, Paul McCartney. Carvey is the greatest.
Whatcha think lm talkin here Porkucheez?
I liked the clip, but the narrator's volume had a real contrast to the playback volume.
Kate McKinnon as Elizabeth Warren
Less voice-over - more talent.
Thank You
Came here to say this. Less TALKING! More impressions.
The whole Kavanaugh trial sketch was genius.
WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
@@MrPuzzles You could look the words up in a dictionary if you aren't sure of the meaning.
You should have included when Palin (Fey) met Palin (Palin)
Melissa McCarthy and Sean spicer, Alec Baldwin is Donald trump, Jim Carrey as biden, and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin are the best
Absolutely. Baldwin's Tr*mp wasn't an exact impression, but it sure captured the buffoonish evil.
Phil Hartman and Darrel Hammond always excelled in what they did. Kate McKinnon was suburb as Jeff sessions, Rudy Giuliani, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and others. Melissa McCarthy as unhinged Sean Spicer was hilarious. Tiny Fey as Sarah Palin was a shining star every time she showed up. Alec Baldwin was my favorite Trump. Loved this list.
The late Chris Farley even walked in on a Congressional meeting with the sole intent of doing his impression of Newt Gingrich when Mr. Gingrich was Speaker of the House.
Ben Stiller as Michael Cohen was on point!!
Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump & Tina Fey as Sarah Palin are Comedy Gold.
They perfectly portrayed the meanness and pig ignorance of those two.
Alec Baldwin's impersonation sucks.
Darrell Hammond, Will Farrell, and Phil Hartman will always be the Masters at political impersonations. Rest in peace, Phil. 😔
Phil's Bill Clinton was the best hands down; even to this day no one is actually imitating Bill Clinton they're just doing some version of Phil Hartman's impersonation
Darrell Hammond did a good Clinton as well. "Ah'm bulletproof!" But Phil Hartman was the most talented impressionist in the cast. for sure.
Scarlett Johansson's Katie Britt should've been included.
Never saw Matt Damon’s impression of Brett Kavanuagh, it was spot on. Lol
James Austin Johnson as trump was spot on, especially the ramblings. 😅
He spoke too fast and was too skinny.
Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford still holds up!
Every time Gerald Ford’s name comes up, I automatically think of Chevy Chase falling into the 🎄… and start belly-laughing, even around a group of unaware persons! 😂😂😂
Where is Scarlett Johansson?
I ask myself that every day.
Kate McKinnon's best impression is BY FAR AND AWAY Lindsey Graham. And even then, it's so good it's top 5 on this list.
And where the hell is Robin Williams playing Reagan????
He only did it once, but he absolutely nailed it.
Beyond that, Dana Carvey gets the top 4 spots with Ross Periot, George W, Joe Biden, and George H.W. in that order.
😂 These SNL political impressions are comedy gold! 🙌
Will Ferrells impersonation of Janet Reno is definitely not forgotten!
The entire story of Janet Reno's Dance Party was fabulous 😂
Bill Hader: Rick Perry, Elliot Spitzer, Anthony Scaramucci, James Carville
The Mooch! LOL
Does Dana Carvey as John McLaughin count? Because that was FRIGGIN hysterical!
Yes but the audience this is focused on have no idea who John McLaughlin was.
In 2008, the portrayal of John McCain was a hoot.
You should've shown the Sean Spicer's dolls. That got me rolling on that one 😂😂😂😂
Will Farrell as bush is the best one
The cadence, staggered as it is, perfectly Al Gore.
It would be better to see more of the impressions if the narrator didn't use most of the time blabbing.
All watchmojo videos are like that.
Alec Baldwin was the best Trump. How he would shrink his lips into a tiny butt-hole was godly
I agree. Baldwin was hilarious!!!
Alec Baldwin did the best trump ever 👏
Someone must have done John McCain.
And I know Cecily Strong did other noteworthy impressions, like Jeanine Pirro.
McKinnon as Laura Ingraham.
No one did a better Bill Clinton then the late absolutely great Phil Hartman (May he rest in peace). Both Baldwin and James Austin Johnson nailed Trump (Baldwin for appearance, but Austin Johnson for vocal impression). I think if I weren't watching James Austin Johnson do the impression and only heard it, I might even think it was actually Trump.
I don't even know who the Hell Sean Spicer is, but I do love Mellissa's impression as it's just insanely hilarious. For what it's worth, those were Paul's picks
Spicer was Tr*mp's first press secretary, before the nepo-heifer took over. It's funny how so many Tr*mpists are better portrayed by female comedians: Spicer, Graham, and Cruz come to mind.
Also, Sessions and Giuliani. Weird huh?
Phil also played DJT.
Thing I find fascinating is too see 2 SNL players like Phil Hartman and Darryl Hammond, or Will Ferrell and Dana Carvey play the same president: physically different obviously; but with the wigs, the makeup and specially their performances we can see Clinton & Bush.
I hope they show john Goodman as linda tripp
I love how balanced these impersonations are when it comes to both sides of the aisle. SNL leaves no one unroasted.
I love the Jeff Sessions imitation! Such a cutie! lol
Hammond also did a great Jesse Jackson.
Will Ferrell as George. W. Bush is spot-on and hilarious. 😂🎉
Tina Fey was a better Sara Palin, than Sara herself
Finding the humor in Hillary Clinton was a monumental feat of comedy on Amy Poehler's part. Bravo!
Darrell Hammond at 23 is an insult. He played that role for 12 years.
I gotta agree... it was always a personal favorite
John Lovett is under appreciated
I agree
The deaf translator for Barack Obama. I think that was Cecily Strong.
How is James Austin in number 22? He's easily the best Trump!
Yes that was criminally low!
I agree, He's got his voice down pat
Alec Baldwin wasn’t bad as Trump, I just think James Austin Johnson is better. He’s got the cadence during the stream of consciousness down.
Larry David did a fantastic job and when the ancestry show showed they were cousins they were both pleasantly surprised ❤ RIP Phill Hartman❤
Tina Fey takes the #1 spot, spot on
I MISS KATE😭
Amy Pohler as a seething Hilary Clinton is so funny. 😂
Cereal’s George bush might be his best work.
Amy Poheler is my favorite as Jeff Sessions.
I loved Alec Baldwin the best😊
You mentioned Dan Aykroyd doing Carter snd Nixon. He was at his funniest thou doing Senator Bob Dole,. Especially interacting with the actress playing Hillary Clinton. Much Success.
We really needed Tina's Palin. Palin scared the hell out of us. To think of her as presidential understudy, a mediocre journalism major who fell into politics and ended up governor.
I'm sorry, but so much is wrong with this list. Johnson's Trump should be MUCH higher! It is spot on in many ways that no one else has come close. And Hannah's Clinton is CLASSIC! Its all of out sorts. IMO, anyway.
Kate McKinnon could easily snag 5 of the top 15. RBG. Clinton. Warren. Sessions. Conway. Maybe even Merkel.
Kate McKinnon is my favorite Chameleon
Larry David as Bernie. Perfect!
They totally forgot about Robin Williams take on Ronald Reagan
Cohen might just be back in SNL after or during his testimony on Trump and Stormy Daniel’s case.
Bowen Yang as Santos
It would be nice to hear more of the impressions rather than your non-stop commentary.
Hammond did a good Chris Matthews too. “When you had your brain washed did you get it waxed, too?” Oh, and Fred Armisen as Ghadafi and Margaret Cho as the Kims. That was SNL, right?
Chris Matthews! Not only was the impression golden, the content made it like a mountain of gold bullions.
(I think that sounds stupid… but the content was magnificent!) PERFECT!😂
5:37 Thanks for identifying Ben Stiller. I was trying to decide if it was Stiller or Steve Carrell.
Idk who it was, but the SNL impression of Toronto Ontario Mayor Rob Ford was hilarious & accurate!
Robin Williams as Regan was hilarious sad it’s not mentioned
Kate McKinnon is a text book example of a kid who's parents never told she wasn't good at something.
Don't be jealous
James Austin Johnson is hilarious as Trump!
I love Matt Damons Brett Cavanaugh ❤
I feel that Dana Carvey's portrayals of Bush, Sir and Perot should have been switched.
As much as I love this compilation, the clips speak for themselfs and there was too much comments. Didin't make it to the end.
Definitely agree with number one.
Al Gore is Hammond. Too low at 29.
And they did worse with Clinton. These ppl are crazy. He’s a too 5impression.
Bob Dole should have been #1!!!!
Alec Baldwin is a better Trump than Donald Trump.
I've interviewed the real Jim Jordan (for work) and he's genuinely like that in person. Yes, that's a #humblebrag.
Norm’s Bob Dole was good, but his Tarantino and Burt Reynolds were classics partly because no one else did them. His Dole is like his Letterman and Larry King. All awesome
Alec Baldwin as frump
oh so true I so so loved this
Alec Baldwin, best Trump ever
Agree.. hard act for the new guy to follow.
James Austen Johnson should be higher. You could literally close your eyes and its trump
He does the best Tr*mp bluster and whine I've ever heard. Baldwin's parody was never accurate, but he managed to capture the ignorant meanness of Tr*mp.
Fantastic
They didn’t mention Beck Bennett as pence
Darryl Hammond and Will Ferrell doing the 2000 debates should be in the top 10.
truth: the actual presidential campaigns would show those clips to the candidates so they could study and make changes to their performances.
Lol Matt Damon 😂🤣😂🤣
