  • the term 100% perfect is redundat

  • Your George Clooney is the best.

  • I love your Tommy Lee Jones

  • Clooney was 100% perfect

  • amazingly GOOOD! SPOT ON!

  • holy fuckin shit I only on M and am already blown away!

  • Hold the phone! I was just researching you on the Internet. I had no idea you were involved in those JibJab videos.

  • @ajbertorelli Oh, yes.  I was with them when they exploded with "This Land". That's me doing all the vocals. We have continued to do things together, the last was for the 2011 Year in Review, also called "2011 Buh-BYE!"

    Can I put the phone down now...?

  • @ajbertorelli Yes, we did a lot of shorts together, I was the singin' G.W. Bush, Clinton, Swartzeneggar, etc...

  • I've loved you ever since I heard you as Edwin from Baldur's Gate, excellent work my friend!

  • @VActorDreamer Thanks for remembering me!

  • @jimmeskimen Pretty hard to forget something that made you laugh so hard haha! I also heard you as Deadshot in Gotham Knight, I was curious if you were in Batman: Arkham City why didn't you get to reprise Deadshot there? Weren't you asked to audition?

  • @VActorDreamer Hmmm... have no idea... they have different casting people and directors and so on for these things. I don't think I auditioned at all for Arkham City. Thanks for the kind words!

  • @jimmeskimen I didn't realize you were on Baldur's Gate. That game is legendary.

  • I was gonna suggest that you should have done Michael Caine but then i realised that you wouldn't have been able to make that Damon Clooney joke and there's NO WAY you could have replaced Malkovich, that was awesome!

  • @Raynul Thanks for thinking thru it... this is what I go thru in programming these pieces, trying to get a nice, varied bunch, and in a kind of order that makes sense. Glad you liked it. In the live show I trade in/out some in favor of others that might be more current.

  • i was gonna say you should have done Michael Caine but then i realise you couldn't have made the Damon Clooney joke and there's NO WAY you could have replace Malkovich

  • Very impressive. That is the greatest talent for recognizing tone of voice and speech pattern i've seen!

  • C should be for Chuck Norris!

  • Bob Ueker sounds lilke someone in Skyrim!

  • No no no! W is for Walken damn it!

  • Your Limbaugh voice sounds a lot like J.K. Simmons

    L is for Lemons

  • awesome patrick stewart!

  • these rock...except for O'Reilly and Ron Paul. 

  • That... Was the best jack Nicholson... EVER!!!

  • Can anything beat "Kill Bill Parts I and II"? "Inglorious Basterds" is a close runner-up! ^_^ Loved Malkovich, Tommy Lee Jones, and Christoph Waltz the best!

  • My favorite was definately the Malkovich one! You're awesome keep it up!

  • All very impressive however your Eddie Izzard needs work soooo yeah just a small criticism on an incredible piece.

  • Jim does a GREAT JFK. He's done it for a couple of video games..but J is for Jack too and he does that better than anyone.

  • Loved Tommy Lee Jones, Clooney, and Malkovich! How about an A-Z of movie characters? I just discovered you today & I'm so enjoying all of your personas!

  • You should do John F. Kennedy! I love his boston accent!

  • kevin spacey kicked ass!!!!

  • love the malkovich!!! dude you are the best ever

  • You appear to have run out of celebrities at X and went with character names. Too bad, you could have done Wierd Al Yankovic for Y and maybe Zachary Quinto for Z, though his voice isn't very distinctive. I'm sure you could do a great Weird Al.

  • @turbowombat Where were you when I was writing these? Weird Al is an excellent choice. But Yusuf isn't a character name, is it?

  • @jimmeskimen Maybe Yusuf Islam, a.k.a Cat Stevens?

  • Haha, yeah Ron Paul!

  • ha i thought the o was going to be for owen wilson but your alphabet was truly spectacular.

  • Loved Tommy Lee Jones :D

  • I thought "Z" was going to be Zsa Zsa Gabor. But I enjoy Christoph Waltz so much more!

  • @joshstillcool He's awesome. Did you see Water for Elephants? Terrific!

  • @jimmeskimen I did! And his role in Inglourious Basterds was astounding. Btw, I hope you picked up that my previous comment was also a limerick. ;) Keep up the great work!

  • @joshstillcool Well, you're right! Half a limerick, anyway!

    "I thought Z would be Zsa Zsa Gabor,

    But I like Christoph Waltz so much more,

    He's so hotsie-totsie,

    Such a memorable nazi,

    He must live down in Ecuador!

  • JIM i never knew someone could be that good at impressions! i originally thought you were miming them from a recording or something but then saw some of your live videos! i love your billy connerly and robin Williams impressions! =)

  • @christiawi9 Thanks very much!

  • JIM i never knew someone could be that good at impressions! i originally thought you were miming them from a recording or something but then saw some of your live videos! i love your billy connerly and robin Williams impressions! =)

  • Kevin Spacey kinda sucked

  • fucking. awesome.

  • Clooney was incredible!

  • Alec Guinness, spot on! :-D This guy is amazing at impressions!

  • You're quite amazing! It was like all those people were in the room with you! Wonderful! :D

  • These celebrity impressions make me laugh but also make me smile because they're so darn awesome. Keep it up, Jim! Your Sir Alec Guinness impression was awesome, too. :)

  • I love the impressions, but the constant limerick rhythm makes me want to punch someone.

  • @grafiteballoon7 Not the intention, but thanks for letting me know.

  • Press 4 repeatedly and listen to the duck!

  • Absolutley amazing! You made me laugh quite loud and even reduced me snorting at one time. Your one of the best impressionasts i've heard! keep up the magnificant work!

  • Mister Jim, you should converse with Youtube and see about them letting you broadcast your show viva satellite live. I think your subscribers would get a kick outta that.

  • @killertastebuds Who the heck does someone talk to at YouTube? I'd love to do a live broadcast!

  • I love your impressions Jim. You are one of the best I've seen! Keep up the good work.

  • Your Malkovich floored me.

  • @klecknerb Thanks very much!

  • This was amazing! I think my favorite had to be Jack Nicholson! lol

  • MATE you came to Australia an we loved your act on the Today Show

  • @SCOOTERINGISMAD41 I loved being there! And the show at the Seymour Centre that night was a sold out hit! I'll try and get back soon, and hopefully to more of your cities.

  • @jimmeskimen Yes please , Brisbane would be Nice ( :

  • Clooney is insane

  • As a young actor and impressionist I am completely in awe of you. The further we got in the alphabet the more and more sad I got because I knew it was coming to an end. Great work!

  • PERFECT Jack Nicholson impression.

  • Fantastic!

  • AMAZING! :D

  • Will you ever tour? I can't exactly come to LA to see the show, but if you came to Boston, I'd be first in line for tickets.

  • Hilarious and well done, Jim! And congrats on the YT best comedy video!! Keep 'em coming! :)

  • Are you open to voice acting? I'd totally love to hear someone of your talents in some big movie or something.

  • Thoroughly enjoyable! The only impersonation that I found less than totally convincing was that of Eddie Izzard, all others whom I knew were spot on!

  • @SolarGranulation I think that is very perceptive... I admit it needs more work, and in the context of these brief rhymes, was not as effective as it could be... but his name DOES begin with "I", so I still get six points.

  • This video has been selected by the channel as one of the best Comedy videos on YouTube and was added to the channel's playlist Accordingly. Thanks for sharing.

    Regards,

    bestofYTchannel

  • @BestofYTChannel Holy smoke! Thanks! That's a big honor and I'm amazed and know not what to say! Thank YOU for sharing!

  • @RedFenceReviews Thanks! Please talk to millican dargue for me, you two hash things out...

  • @DarkenedYeastExtract Thanks for letting me know and thanks for your support!

  • Love this video!

  • Malkovich was awesome!!! Nicholson and Spacey were really good too.

  • i was waiting for : J is for Jay-Z.

    I would love to see you try, not that i think you couldnt!

  • Well done

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • Well...he was close on most, off the mark on a few. But not the worst I've seen.

  • @sockmagnet Whew! Not the worst! That's what I'm goin' for!

  • @jimmeskimen I think the issue is the accents were too close to one another so maybe I was still trying to catch one accent when you went on to the next. No disrespect. You have a talent I can never do!

  • so great i honestly had know idea what your real voice would sound like

  • That was great. Where have you been hiding? I'm a big fan, and supporter of comedy, and don't think I've heard of you. I'll try to pay more attention, so I can help with you with your pension.

  • you forgot to say "reagan smash, reagan smash".

  • Tommy Lee Jones is my favourite, you even got that trademark 'bored' facial expression bang on!

  • Jim, I want to be just like you when I grow up.

  • I loved malkovoich, this is awesome Jim!!!

  • first - thanks for the postive reply. second - you are very good - i would pay to see you in philly. third - i always post my channel name - YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE - on videos that i like for encouragement and positive energy to the artist and to promote my channel - kinda of all in one. i sincerely mean my channel name - that is why i chose it. your impressions make the world a better place to live in. good job.

  • @amber8101 Hi! I'm set to do my JIMPRESSIONS show in Sydney on Monday, November 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Seymour Center Sound Lounge... are you in? Hope so! Just the one night only, I'm afraid, then I head back to the states.

    I hope you can make it! And help me spread the word?

    Best,

    JIm Meskimen

  • @jimmeskimen so is that your impression of Obama? One night then it's back to the states?!

  • @mikew123123 Good one! You got me! Coming to the show in Sydney, then? I can guarantee more laughs than Obama...

  • Awesome! Good Luck! YouTube gave you a Tweet!

  • The Clooney was spot on, you sounded just like him. That man has a sexy voice...

  • I didn't know John Malkovich's name, but when I heard the impression I realized; Hey, that's the guy from Con Air! great work.

  • do andy rooney

  • RON PAUL

  • RON PAUL!

  • Loved it. Good job Jim. Thank you for that. Very refreshing.

  • Alphabet musicians, please!!!

  • brilliant i love the malkevitch voice ..so sexy

  • Worst Vincent Price EVER! Other than that...really great.

  • the george clooney one is ridiculously good

  • this guy makes me kick Frank Caliendo in the balls.

  • wow. if you close your eyes, you cant tell its an impersonation :D

  • This is scarily good.

    Awesome work!

  • BOND WAS AWESOME !

  • Great job again!

  • YOU SYMBOLIZE HOPE

  • @differentandalike Thanks very much for those three very kind words.

  • Weird smirks on my face when he did Clooney, Damon, Nicholson, Spacey, Malkovich... Come see the liveshows? d'love too dude, but this weird smirk face is staying behind the computer for now

  • @pinarie Maybe that's best... ha, ha! Glad to give a smirk, the second cousin to a broad grin.

  • @jimmeskimen hahahaha broad grin reading your reaction!

  • Only a few are any good.

  • @Calvin08inAus I agree with you, but sadly, our voices are, once again, drowned out!

  • Kevin Spacey was unbelievable. I had to skip back to watch it again. Fucking blew me away.

  • Man, you are really incredible! What a talent! I love the imitation of Connery and Craig. As a Bond fan, I was thrilled. Keep the good work!

  • massive

  • I love George Clooney one and expescially Quentin Taraninto, awesome! : D

  • Good shtuff!! And your show at our local theater was "Capitol!" :)

  • @hanseric245 I had a great time in Florida doing that show, for 300 of my closest friends... Thanks for coming!

  • Cleverness is such a turn-on.

    If only we could mind-fuck each other, but in a good way.

    LOL

    I particularly liked your Tommy Lee Jones and Patrick Stewart.

  • Nicholson was awesome

  • Id love to go to one of your shows. Very talented.

  • another winner Jim! great idea, so creative and fun!

  • @mrjacksepticeye I so agree. I think that was my fave.

  • Z, why not Zoidberg?

  • that ron paul stuff is hilarious

  • Love this- Great stuff. You should make 'z' Zach Galifinakis though. ;)

  • We don't really have decent impressionists in Belgium, one more reason to subscribe to your work and enjoy it every chance I get. Pity that I'll probably never get to see you live :) I *really* loved Malkovich, Spacey, Sting and Connery. Kudos! Ever thought of doing a show with Robin Williams? Does he still do one man shows these days? That would be magnificent :D

  • one thing i love to see are the transactions, or at least, the moment right before changing into another psyche. there's this 'sinking in', this breathing of the celebrity's inner entirety. that 'click', that's what was the icing on the cake on this one. thanks for sharing.

  • @synthem Hey, nice words! I'm so glad you enjoy that part of the process... I'm really thrilled that people are responding to these videos, and I am determined to do many, many more! Hope you can see the live show sometime!

  • @jimmeskimen you're very welcome, and i'd love to see more!

  • o_O holy.... NICE !

  • Your Malkovich is genius, just genius.

  • john malkovich impression was amazing!! good job!

  • this guy is seriously talented!! :)

  • George Clooney was spot on!

  • Awesome! it makes me sad not knowing majority of the celebrities you mentioned but! It's a great video :)

  • P is for Oris Payton:)

    You had him down perfectly!

  • @dsternfeld Isn't it OTIS Payton?

  • @jimmeskimen Right. Almost 40 years ago! You would impersonate him doing roll call. Robert Morimazu?

  • M is for Malkovich - Perfect diction even when enraged! Love it!

  • Tarentinos the best!

  • This was truly fantastic, I am very very impressed! Please keep up the fantastic work :D
