Frank Caliendo Bill Walton Impression

[Jakeallen86]

This is the best impression

[MissDeeCole]

BEEEEEEILLLL WAAAALLLLLTIINNNNNNNNN THROWWW ITTT DOWNNNN BIG FELLLA!

[sconny09]

i remember being at berkley!

[AllEyesOnMe08]

The funny thing is that bill walton talks about shit like that!

[lightaspliff420]

Luke come to the darkside I am your father!

[TyphoidBryan]

Wow.. an impression I hadn't heard yet. It's only a matter of time before I get sick of it. (see: FOX NFL Football Sunday)

[demoncleaner45]

Howard Eisley it doesn't matter!

[sneak108]

lmao

[NickODU2015]

The best part of this impression is that Caliendo NAILS the hippy-ish stuff Walton talks about- obviously the voice is spot on, but Frank talks exactly how Walton talks.

[retrotw]

@NickODU2015 yea...what seperates him from other impersonations is that his content matches the voice...its not just some random rants...

[RickhatesScott]

Haha, I love Caliendo, and for the record Walton, I think how he talks is what makes him fun to listen to.

[njs300800]

Lmfaooooooo!!!!!!!!

[merpski]

howard eisley haha



[jwahh]

lol, fucking money.

[leafsboy101]

i don't know how the guys in the background kept it together i would have fell out of my chair laughing

[BarstoolBlues33]

Detlef was a baller but it's funny that he's the player he picks out. I wonder if he remembers hearing Bill Walton talking about him? It's been so long since he played now. (I remember him backing up Scottie on the Blazers and then on the sonics before that...but shit that was 10 years ago and more)

[DouglasJBender]

Frank Calliendo does a better Bill Walton than Bill Walton does.

[stevensw]

walton talks like a guy pinching his nose

[AlexanderRight]

Wow. That was spot on.

[JimBobJenkins]

The answer, of course, is no. There has never been a player better than Detlef Schrempf.

[AyyJMoney]

Fred Roberts, LOOK OUT!

[STP43FAN1]

"Luke, come to the dark side, I am your father." ROFLMAO!

[scottmackeen]

Why the hell is the name Detlef Schrempf so funny!! It gets me every time

[beilmandulin]

@scottmackeen I think it's how he says the name. It gets me everytime too.

[STP43FAN1]

Walton was on WEEI last week - he was a parody of Caliendo's parody.

[SpursCards311]

I wish Bill was still doing games.

[ellissmith23]

@SpursCards311 "throw it down big man throw it down!" i wish he was still doing games to

[farneyblakeley]

Walton does tend to get carried away. I remember watching Pacer games in the 90s and he tried to declare Rik Smits a better player than Ewing at one point, not like a better player in the game or series but just a better player overall. And he would fawn over certain players like Jalen Rose. He called him "the great" Jalen Rose because he liked his toughness and willingness to take late shots.

[itcrysmascara]

@farneyblakeley lol I agree Im in Houston , and he said Matt bullard was the next Jordan lol

[AntL]

i miss bill

[STP43FAN1]

What makes Bill Walton imitations funny is they're not that off the real deal - Walton realy is that long-winded and irrational.

[LifeFirst]

Luc "Come to the Dark Side" Longley.....I'm sure that's who he was talking about

[kappucccino]

@LifeFirst are you retarded?

he's talking about his SON, Luke Walton...

[Jmk413]

@kappucccino No its Star Wars. Bill Walton was known for making irrational and exaggerated comments ( comparing Boris Diaw to Beetoven and Ray Allen to a Guitarist) in his commentary days. so your both wrong

[kappucccino]

@Jmk413 Of course it's Star Wars..no shit

But it's funny only b/c his son's name is Luke.

[Decwarrior]

@LifeFirst No he talking about luke walton Bill's son.

[x7turtle7x]

Howard Eisley, does it matter?

[danieltremillo]

scary good

[longhorns13192]

not only does he sound exactly like him but its something walton would say

[KED528]

Bill Walton hit the dislike button 6 times.

[Airman32292]

Fact: Theres has never been a player better than Detlef Schrempf

[GatorBaby06]

frank makes it possible for someone to literally "die laughing"

it hurts to cry, i just cracked a couple ribs

[david1234687]

Come to the dark side I am your father !

[nickmordo]

I could smell colors LOL

[butcherboy2008]

World B. Free (born Lloyd Bernard Free on December 9, 1953 in Atlanta, Georgia)is an American former professional basketball player who played in the NBA from 1975-1988. Free was known as the "Prince of Midair" as well as "All-World".

[StandupShowcase]

This was a bad impression. Check out the Bill Walton leaked pilot episode by searching for "throw it down"

[bigdawg4ever]

OMG..OMFG!!! I peed on myself ROFL

[dookieboy81]

Frank is the man! LOL!!

[Bigturns33]

OMG crying laughing.

[mazdarx7head]

@ioyb world be free?

[mazdarx7head]

roflmao roflmao world be free!

[IOYB]

@mazdarx7head

That was actually the name of a player, believe it or not.

[bmerider]

Has there ever been a better player than Detlef Schrempf? LMFAO

[venigmatic23]

Frank Caliendo is retarded as ever...lol! XD

[Shadofx]

thats a pretty good impression..too funny

[glamdringwhite03]

luke come to the darkside, i am your father lol

[bsmooth14]

"I could smell colors!"

[averynyr16]

this never gets old

[wilcox24]

bill walton has the biggest and worst dentures ever!

[popydude]

detleft schrempf ftw

[dawnoflife3]

at 0:12 you can see the people behind him inside laughing too LOL

[nickypeej]

5 people are friends or relatives of Detlef Schrempf and don't appreciate his sarcasm

[murfreeswhoro]

hey frank hows your show doing? oh yeah it was cancelled

[Greg00015]

@murfreeswhoro Hey fag how's your show doing? Oh yeah, you don't have one.

[mikepiazza]

FRank is awesome!

[DaRealDeal2008]

lol @ detlef schrempf, lol hvn't heard that name in ages, ha ha

[timlin0607]

Frank is a great impersonator but I think he missed the mark on this one.

[Greg00015]

@timlin0607 WTF are you talking about???

[cbra66]

Genious!!!!!!

[MrPeaceseeker]

even the people on the control laughs.

[EfeKs2]

I COULD SHMELL COLOURES!!

[rsohlich1]

@EfeKs2 yea I could, seriously

[Dhemi4life]

I normally think Frank's not that funny(maybe its just that stupid show he had on tbs) but this absolutely hilarious!!!!!!

I've listened to it about 20 times now and I'm still laughing. "Luke come to the darkside, I am your father! "

[G4RAWZONE]

Fred Roberts, look out! World B. Free, I don't care who you are! Howard Eisley, does it matter? I don't think so!

[AlexAmerling19]

Has there ever been a player better than Detlef Schrempf?

[balflear1400]

lol this is how i try to do my impressions 4 friends but he is the master

[basketball201120]

Howard Eisley does it matter?

[pinoyoutoob]

"Luke, come to the dark side, I AM YOUR FATHER" LOL

[ChristineCAlb]

Wikipedia says Bill named his son after his teammate Maurice Lucas. This is funny though, and I'm sure Walton knows a thing or two about drugs... (I'm kidding Billy, don't sue me)

[slangyung]

Bahahahhahahahaahha!!!

[killermel23]

lmfao

[piemelinjeowr]

HAHAHAHHA

the dudes laughing in the back xD

[thepride724]

Luke, come to the darkside. I am your Father! That one really got me going.

[MarcusKiner]

[mgskills]

[moali90]

Man dis is fuking epic...dead on lol

[thetylife]

This is really not as good as most of his other impressions. Close...and not a lot of ppl does Walton impressions. I miss wacky Bill on the TV.

[mgskills]

you a effing crazy that is right on!

[mgskills]

you are

[MikeBannShow]

I dont wanna sound gay but I kinda like bill waltons voice

[LJCavs2394]

@MikeBannShow well u sound gay, faggot

[pinstripes245679]

i've always found it ironic when frank says in his walton impersonation "I remember being at Berkeley..." when, actually, walton went to UCLA...

frank is HILARIOUS and this is one of his best impersonations

[00bean00]

I searched for this after reading a WikiPedia entry on Bill Walton. Can someone explain the jokes? For example, I know who Detlef Schrempf is, but not why he'd say "Scrempf is the best player".

[jerseydevs2000]

Accodring to Caliendo, Walton can make anything bad or humdrum seem wonderful. Schrempf, of course, was a mediocre player at best, but Caliendo's take is Walton can make him sound like the second coming of Larry Bird.

In one of Caliendo's other Walton routines (several vids here on Youtube have this), he has Walton saying something overly excited and positive about a nuclear bomb going off.

[lilhoodstar91]

lol

[JIFTheChosen1]

Detlef Schrempf, in his prime, was more than mediocre. Watch him in Indiana and Seattle. Second best German baller behind Dirk, and not by much. Schrempf could shoot from outside, play D, handle the rock - a true team player.

[sackmaster91]

Yea everytime Schrempf shot I thought he was going to make it... and I was like 6 at the time I knew he was the ish

[exile103]

Schrempf was anything but mediocre. You clearly haven't checked his stats lately. He was even in the Finals in '96 with Seattle. Unfortunately, they had to go against one of the greatest teams ever.

[GoggleMan25]

Because Bill Walton will go on about how "good" no name players are.

[jerseydevs2000]

Has there ever, in the history of Western civilization, been an impressionist as gifted as Frank Caliendo?

[00bean00]

I think one thing that makes Mr. Caliendo's work so good is that he follows a "magicians' principle": It's better to know only five tricks and perform them well than to know a hundred and perform them poorly.

[jerseydevs2000]

Very true, though he has to keep trying out and practicing new impressions.

John Madden and George W. Bush are currently retired, so who knows how long he'll be able to lean on those two impressions during his TEN YEAR run at the Monte Carlo in Vegas.

[allforyouz]

He doesn't follow that at all.

[00bean00]

Really?  Explain why not, please.

[allforyouz]

Well it is all opinion but IMO he preforms some very spotty impressions.

IMO his impressions of Pacino and Charles Barkley are on the bad side and his Nicholson is really nothing special.

He does do some people very well like Madden and this impression of Bill Walton is top notch , others not so well.

[naneepants]

@jerseydevs2000 I wouldn't say as gifted...but maybe almost as good. Aries spears did a great rap mashup of Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, DMX, and LL Cool J.

[Amir883]

@jerseydevs2000 As talented as Frank Caliendo is, I would say that (if not more) Max Koch is just as talented and has a wide range of characters

[DavionElite]

@jerseydevs2000 Yes, and his name is Rich Little. That doesn't mean Frank doesn't do a good job, but to answer your question, yes.

[Jase291981]

@jerseydevs2000 None that I've heard. He's amazing

[fuairportsucker]

@jerseydevs2000 josh robert thompson



[jamesog101]

@jerseydevs2000 dont think so.

[canucks22vids]

LOL luke come to the darkside, I AM YOUR FATHER

[zamjam34]

the guys in the backround are cracking up

[BalackIsBack]

It gets funnier each time you watch it

[noonevincecarterfan]

Haha..that was a lot like Walton. Not only cause of the way he sounded, he also said things that would typically come out of Walton's mouth. Things like Detlef Schremp is the greatest play and stuff like that.

[andreboy1]

i usually hate this guy but the detlef shrempf thing was funny as hell

[worldofazeroth]

"...watch as the beard not connecting to my face..." lol

[MajorImpact]

@worldofazeroth

He said "blotches of beard..."

[Bernie150]

fabulous!

[HLiNaK]

Fred Roberts reference for the true Celtics fan.

[fearthehawksndcavs24]

listened to it 20 times in a row- funnier every time!

[49erman5692]

detlef shremps lol

[TheRatedIX7]

He sound more like Bill than Bill does WTF are u talkin' about?

[kariajaderose]

ya it does

[BMac2307]

LOL Howard Eisley

[utbnew52]

I could smell colors!

[PhilaBul]

LOL such a spot on impression

[coldcomfort79]

i lost it when he said Detlef Shrempf

[senorpachangaz]

hahaha how does this dude produce so many different voices just using his vocal chords?

[TheRatedIX7]

Well, he is Luke's father. LMFAO!!

[airhoppz]

Detlef Schrempf was pretty good.

[snaredstix]

Yeah i love using him in NBA2k

[Piotrasdabadman91]

lol, come to the dark side

[Rsheetz86]

[jc2333]

schrempf was good

[AbbeyRoad52]

Detlef Schrempf was a pretty good player. He played on the Indiana Pacers and Seattle Supersonics. He was an awesome 3 point shooter.

[TheRatedIX7]

He played for the Blazers too

[wildfire118]

"I could smell colors"  haha

[LLDQ911]

"I could feel sounds" lol

[RedzDaRuler]

CLASSIC

[ZyphonZest]

He is very talented

[mafiatide]

this is Frank's best impression, by far. Madden stuff is sorta getting lame now and I think his Bush and Clinton impressions are pretty good, but they are wildly exaggerated. As in, it does sound like them, but it's not how they always talk. But this however, is how Bill Walton always talks.

[bronbronface]

i know...bill walton goes on..and on..and on..and on..and on...and just when you think he's stopping he goes on again, you just wanna snatch your hair out your head

[FrankieArts]

classic

[JRye00]

By far, by far, his BEST impersonation

[cosbyfan1]

LUKE come to the dark side i am your father. haha i laughed so hard

[bqureshi390]

dude he's amazing!

[Foz8675]

haha seriously, youtube needs more bill walton and bill walton impressions!

[HBball5]

hahahahhhahahaha ive watched this like 20 times..doesn't get old

[southgatefootball]
