Kevin Pollack as Albert Brooks

[Porkcfish]

I love this bit and actually think it is superior to the Walken one in the documentary. Albert Brooks is tough to get is you don't cock your head sideways because he is quite deadpan. Also, if you are a Pollak fan, I highly suggest his webcast at dubya dubya dubya kevinpollakschatshow dot cee oh emm It rocks. Two hour interviews with great comedy writers and actors. Good stuff. Live on Sunday.

I just don't where this guy is funny at all. 

[felicity4711]

Albert Brooks shading every so subtly into Edward G. Robinson! :-]

[tranquilitybase]

I return to this over and over because it makes me laugh so hard.

[diddymuck]

sounds too much like george burns. The Aristocrats is an old joke.

This is one of the greatest impressions I've ever seen, precisely because Albert Brooks is so unique, so hilarious yet so dry - and Spacey completely captures that.

Unlike most old-school impressionists, he's not just getting the voice and facial inflections right, then relying on a few catch phrases. His exact phrasing, use of rhetorical questions, homespun yet brilliantly cerebral tales, subtle sense of being a victim of a world that doesn't quite understand his brilliance - he's got it all.

@benchleyparker Spacey ?

[Whofan1000]

@BrunoHopp Sorry, Pollack. 

[alexanderremington]

@benchleyparker ... it's Kevin Pollack, not Kevin Spacey.

[beggin1967]

@benchleyparker YOU HAD DIFFICULTY TELLING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLLACK AND SPACEY. THATS LIKE NOT BEING ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STRAIGHT BAR AND A GAY BAR AFTER YOUVE BEEN IN 1 FOR AN HOUR!

[SocratesTheGadfly]

albert brooks is the most UN-FUNNIEST person ever! however, Kevin Pollak's impersonation absolutely rocks!

[MoPapparani]

his Albert Brooks impression STINKS!

[zyxquark]

wow, I'm impressed. people who impersonate people no one else has ever done are amazing.

[ScottfromTexas]

His voice inflection and timing is quite good yet his voice itself is not that close. Still very amusing, though, because of the material itself.

[otisbroth]

Oh my dear lord, that is good. You don't sound like him, Kevin Pollak, and yet YOU DO! It's the voice inflections! He's got it! "How that's an act, anywhere...." You can see Brooks doing it. "Dad, mom, gather around, seriously, you're going to love this."

[ramitupursnout]

outstanding!

[CIAOAMICI75]

Whoa. This is crazy good.

[humnmum]

does it ever get better than this?

whoever pollack impersonates, he dissects with playful virtuousity.

a brooksian take on brooks! perfect!

[loungelizard5000]

Awesome...thanks for sharing!!! I'm crying from laughing so hard!!!

[dspreis]

hysterical.

[louienye]

He nailed him.

[pasfresh123]

I wuv him!

[felicity4711]

LOL. Awesome. :-)

[shutterbun]

Haha! Oh man, that is a great Albert Brooks. Was this in P & T's "The Aristocrats"? I don't remember it.

[JakeJax]

It's in the special features. Its Penn and Paul, Provensa...Teller didn't make it...he just appeared in it.

A more important question though...is, why am I answering a question from over a year ago?

[metasailor]

@JakeJax - because someone will read it almost a year later, and still appreciate the info. : ) This is how the Internet gets made useful...one answer at a time...

[FungusMossGnosis]

@shutterbun

No, they choose, in their infinite "wisdom" to show Pollack's Chris Walken, still good, but much less funny.

[olerud99]

fantastic! i'd kill your family if i knew them.

[rviles2323]

This is awesome!

[kirk7524875248]

This is REALLY good! Amazing!

[dmorgxer]

sublime...Kevin Pollack is going to have to be exorcised.
