Who Do You Do?
Thursday October 5, 2006 in |
I can do quite a good impersonation of Michael Caine. I can’t do the obvious “you’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!” but I can do the lesser known Get Carter quote “I want you. To drink. All of that. Eric.”
I can do various characters from The League of Gentlemen. I do “hello DAVE!” and “YOU ARE MY WIFE NOW!!!” when I get the opportunity. Which isn’t very often.
I used to do Co-lin Powell. I could do him saying “the war in Iraq”. There isn’t much call for Co-lin Powell now, but I can probably still do him.
I can do Jimmy Saville. Everyone can do Jimmy Saville.
Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses.
Rowley Birkin QC from The Fast Show.
I can do Ronnie Corbett when he says “the prodyooooooooooocerr….” (this is where he makes ‘jokes about the producer’).
I can do Frankie Howerd saying “please yourself!” but only when alone. In front of a ready audience it falls flat.
Leslie Phillips saying “hello!”, “ca-ramba!” and “ding dong, you’re not wrong!”
Terence Stamp as General Zod in Superman, imploring Marlon Brando to “join uss! Join uss Jor-El!”
I can do Sean Connery. I know, everyone can do Sean Connery.
Graham Norton when he was on Channel 4 and used to say “stay standing! Stay standing if…”
I can do a passable Eric Idle and Terry Jones.
“Your wife a goer?”
“She….goes“
“I bet she does…I bet she does.”
Also from Python: Alan Whicker, Woody and Tinny Words, Biggus Dickus, The People’s Front of Judea/Judean People’s Front, Camp Platoon, Musical Mice…[edit]
When I’m very drunk Sid James’ laugh.
When I am about to keel over Kenneth Williams’ laugh.
I can’t do Barbara Windsor’s laugh, although I could do Shane Ritchie when he was in Eastenders. Oh yeah, and I can do Bernard Bresslaw.
Who do you do?
