Damn its so sad that every single celebrity impersonation in this skit are all gone. Michael Jackson, AL Jarreau, Rick James, and Prince. RIP to all of these amazing artists.
I remember this originally. Robert Townsend doesn't get the credit he deserves. Dude created a lot of stuff and most people don't even no it.... Salute Tommy Davidson...
Peaches Kong / Here's a few Eddie Murphy's stand up Raw, Carmen: A Hip Hopera feat Beyonce, Black Lighting, The Five Heartbeat's movie, Hollywood Shuffle with Keenan and Damon Wayans, also John Witherspoon 87, Meteor Man, The Mighty Quinn feat Denzel Washington 89, not to mention he's an actor, comedian, director and writer. Look up his credentials everything is online now a days bro. His style, his comedy, his angles, and approach have all been recycled by some of our favorite comedians.
Tommy’s book “Living in Color brought me here. The Al Jarreau impression was the funniest out of all of them LMAO! Thank you Tommy Davidson for making the world laugh over the years.
This WHOLE Robert Townsends Partners in Crime Special was a MAJOR component to shaping my sense of humour growing up. I was probably about 11yo, when I first watched this, Im almost 45 now. Robin Harris and Rock Cops used to have me crying laughing, but the WHOLE show is SUPER GREAT!
All i can do is add my comment and say this man is Brilliant. He does such a good act and unlike a lot of others he doesn't use hate to get laughs. He is comic genius.
OMG! This is classic comedy! I remember when this FIRST came out & we got it on VHS!! My family & I damn near broke that VHS tape with rewinding it over & over again! LOL!!
I love his impressions. Specially Michael Jackson when he says I want those elephant man's bones. And, I love his impression of Al Jarreau. Specially when he is singing about McDonald's.
Man. Tommy Davidson sssooooo underrated with the Real comedy we grew up on; IMPRESSIONS. You Had to be spot on with impressions to get your clout up back then & waaaay before. Whenever you get stuck or start bombing on a live set, you can always rest assure on your impression skills to save your butt. #RespectTommy
OMG! MY SIBLINGS AND I USED TO PLAY THE BLACK OFF OF THIS VCR TAPE. LOL! WE WOULD GET OUR SNACKS TOGETHER AND WATCH THIS RELIGIOUSLY EVERYDAY. Can somebody tell me what year was this, and if t's available on DVD?
The Prince part was the funniest part (although the whole skit was funny as hell) I'm a big time Prince fan (his older music) I can't stop laughing at the sing o the fries!!!
Just the other day I was walking down the street feeling kind of tired and high👍🏿 Stopped in McDonald's cuz I was kind of hungry got a burger and some fries! Lady gave me the bag and look me in my face and hit me with a nice smile, I got around the corner and looked in my bag..... She forgot my motherfuking fries 👍🏿
I have been trying to find these impressions. I didn't know it was in Townsend's show. Davidson is a genius. I love his impression of Elton John in the other video.
Omg I remember going back to elementary school trying to recite this the next week 😆. Thumbs up if you watched it on the TV that sat on top of the old floor model TV 😂. You know the one with all your school pictures on it. Plus the TV that worked had that free HBO adapter on the back of it 😆.

Damn, how about that!
Crazy.....
We still got Tommy, so it’s okay.
Tommy Davidson very underrated comedian and actor.

Al Jarraeu was actually in a McDonalds commercial with Vesta Williams about 10 years after this aird..RIP to both
Al Jarreau is dead?!!!!!
I was just thinking that same thing when he did the impression. Hmmmm that might have influenced them to actually make the commercial
I randomly sang "oooh gimme mcDlt" this morning and had to come find this! 30 years later!
I did it today
RIP Rick James RIP Michael Jackson RIP Prince#Legends#Classic Stand Up
RIP Al Jarraeu.
I love the McDonald's stuff so much. I still sing the Prince part of the routine every time we do drive thru!
Came here to see that Al Jarreau impression again!!! RIP!
Fam lo as a child I laughed my ass off cause my mom would play him lol
I was just listening to Prince, and I remembered this skit from my childhood. Partners in Crime was a classic way before Def Comedy Jam!
LOL, These impressions are too good.
That Rick James Fire and Desire is my shit!!
The greatest impressionist. Love you Tommy 😍❤️
I can't stop rewinding his impression of Al Jarreau singing the theme from Moonlighting LOLLLLLL
I love his impressions. Specially Michael Jackson when he says I want those elephant man's bones. And, I love his impression of Al Jarreau. Specially when he is singing about McDonald's.
"Iwantsomechickenmcnuggets and a STRAWBERRY SHAAAKE, BABE IIiii Want my change, babe Iiii..." Love me some vintage Tommy!
This is the funniest shit ever! I didnt even know who Al Jarreau was but I was in tears!
