As suggested by Chris, Adam Driver auditioning for the role of Super Mario.

Impressions of Bob Dylan, Take Two (or Three? I forget).

"If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."

This is a Greatest Hits compilation, bringing together samples of about 80% of the posts (mostly impressions) on this blog. All run together like this it is pretty friggin' weird. The voices, in order, are: Woody Allen, Larry the Cable Guy, John Wayne, Paul McCartney, Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca), Marty on Marty's Hour of Talk, the Mad Hatter, Yogi Bear, Kermit the Frog, a distressed muppet, Piglet, Elmo, Droopy Dog, Pee Wee Herman, Julia Child, Yoda, Jack Kennedy, President Obama, Darth Vader, Christopher Walken, Sean Connery, Edgar the Alien (from Men in Black), the archetypical classically trained actor, and Daniel Day-Lewis (in There Will be Blood). All the voices are me; all the sounds are not.

The Beatles on the subject of materialism.

GUEST POST: Gansyboy's  take on the rather esoteric Radio Beijing Corporation announcer's voice. Enjoy with your comrades!

Derry Murbles was immediately one of my favorite incidental characters on Parks & Recreation—and then all the more so after I realized that he's played by Dan Castellaneta, who voices a substantial percentage of the characters on the Simpsons, including Homer.

After Edgar stepped out of his house one morning to investigate an odd sound outside, he found himself transformed into a monstrous vermin. And then he asked his wife for sugar.

Timothy Carey, little remembered now, was like a John Turturro of the 1950s.

Man, is this guy smug.
