  • You scummy half-wit bastard, look at you go!

  • damn, this were actually pretty good! a bit slow, but good

  • Good voice, but, he doesn't twitch that much mate...

  • Way to smoke a pen.. No offense but I would own you on a Thompson impersonation. Ib have the shades, the cigarette filter, the hat, the whole nine yards. I quote Dr. Thompson almost everyday of my life. I don't mean to insult you but this wasn'tvery good.

    P.S. You can't blame this on you portraying Depp because Depp learned everything from Hunter himself.

  • Nice.nice

  • Fucking excellent

  • Hehe nice one!

  • gonzo!!!

  • This is so awesome.

  • Swore this was Mr. Depp to begin with, but you came through a little bit. Great job regardless. He just didn't have as much movement as you're showing.

  • Your over-enthusiastic in your physical representation, but the voice is great.

  • you evil bastard, that was the worst thing ive ever seen, i dont even have words for how much you failed at that, fag

  • I like it !

  • I give it a 6/10. it was ok, but nowhere near perfect. keep working on it bro.

  • You sorta have toooo many jerky movements in your motions. Otherrrr than that, your voice actually sounds almost exactly like Depp's. I am actually pretty impressed, mate :) Cheers.

  • good job. you can imitate someone imitating someone.

  • Voice is close, face is very off.

    Cool job, even though i don't get why

  • I thought it was well. And for those that listened to Hunter not just read his books, would agree that you did a wonderful job! Do another...

  • wow impersonating an actor is what this guy is doing, you are doing jonny depps impersonation of thompson, not that he didnt portray him well but if your going to do an impersonation dont just rip off one from a movie based on one of his books

  • I'm hard to impress but all your videos are sick.

    Best impressionist on youtube.

  • not bad not bad at all funny but mr. thompson wasn't suposed to be funny...but he was.

  • give him a break, he is having a great time. each and every one of you took the time to look at the 0:45 seconds to embrace his impersonation of a great human being, this is his tribute to a one of a kind human being...

    "one of a kind human being" is the key semi sentence here... un-impressionable

  • Christ man, if a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing right. Get a cigarette with a filter and the actual glasses man. You just look like a crackhead with a spatula...

  • No one is worthy of impersonating such a Legend...

    Listen to the man himself!!! Listen to the same words but from the original source...

    Watch it through curiosity, but praise it for what?... Using another wise mans words for attention?... Clearly missed what Hunter's intentions were.

  • @PHO1561 stop your over analysis. This isn't a direct impression of Hunter himself, just of Depp's portrayal.

  • @PHO1561 wow your a loser lol

  • A VERY good vocal impression, but the head movements are a little over the top.

    The way you see Depp acting frenetically in a couple scenes only fits when he's in the grip of a super freakout. He was usually much calmer and more laid back. Watch some interviews with the real Hunter here on YouTube and you'll see what I mean. Also, he never really did that weird sneering thing you were doing with your lips.

    Also, find "Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride". It's a pretty cool documentary on Thompson.

  • No... We can't stop here. This is bat country!

  • Voice ..... very very nice voice.

  • i dig it it was accurate enough

  • Why do people do impressions on youtube? that never made any sense to me at all

  • FAIL!

  • you turned an impression into a caricature

  • i think youre just trying too hard, johnny deep was not this jittery all the time.

  • IOL

  • You did a really good job, man. =)

  • fucking great voice bro ahaha.

  • great stuff man... frightening!

  • I have read the book & seen the film 34,000 times and drank three million shots of liquor in tribute to HST and your impersonation of HST by way of Johnny Depp is cool...i'm impressed and I don't make that assertion lightly.

  • come on, u could use a cigar at least...

  • Well, it's a decent impersanation of an impersanation of Hunter at any rate. Hunter was actually not near as frenetic. He was much more deliberate in how he speaks. He also never much cared for Fear and Loathing apart from the money it brought him as most people never really understood it was a political diatribe. I know at least this much because I had the good fortune of having a few a drinks and a good political discussion with him once. The man was much more interesting than the legend.

  • did really well on nailing depp's voice but you didn't do the mumbling thing he does enough

  • Wasn't that bad. You guys need to relax.

  • You guys ripping on this guy are fucking idiots, you are whats wrong with society and Hunter would hate YOU for the stupid shit coming out of your mind. This guy just wanted people to see his impression, not bad either mate. You guys are pretty much like the critics Hunter faced in his time. So go ahead keyboard warriors, keep making your life full of yourself belittling other people or, fuck off so other people can enjoy some youtube you wankers.

  • jesus thats embarassing...

  • I thought the voice was done quite well, for the most part dude. But you could tell the pen was interfering with some mouth movement. Unlike where a cig tip would give you better speech. GOOD STUFF FUCK THE HATERS. Everyones a critic noones got the balls to do it.

  • You did an amazing job.

  • seems the timing is a bit off

  • do something better with your time, try to be yourself instead of someone else

  • omg this is awesome, great job

  • Dude, you nailed Depp doing Hunter. Hunter is awesome. Depp, not so much.

  • At least a pretty good impression of the character Hunter S Thompson we know from the movie. Thumb up for that.

  • haha this was great, i think u pulled it off real well, but wtf?? is that a spatula at the end???

  • Comment removed

  • Hahahaha You sound like a mixture of Raoul Duke and Captain Jack Sparrow...hahah nicely done!! :P

  • u are awsome...it was so spot on...i have watched so mny of ur impressions now...and ur just bloody amazing!!

  • I feel like your motions are a bit over the top, but that is amusing in itself. The voice, however, is spot on.

  • you got the voice on lock, but your trying way to hard with your face, nice job tho

  • haha, awesome!

  • Are u on facebook???

    U r hottt

  • I see Johnny Depp being known as one of the greatest actors since the Barrymores. Friends this man to me is fucking amazing. I'm quiet sure acting is'nt an easy task at all. Lots of commitment, study, patience,and love for the art itself has to be in your mind and heart. Looking forward to more of Depps work.

  • really good dude

  • your the man

  • nice job

  • if you just close your eyes, and cover your ears why IT's a DEAD ON impression...

  • if you just close eyes and cover your ears why IT's a DEAD ON impression...

  • Nice pretending man :)

  • LOL. i love it.

  • that's just mean to mr. depp...

  • Not too shabby man, nicely vocalized. hahaha. But I do agree, just a tad too tweeky.

  • those acting classes still arent showing. pendejo.

  • Pretty good

  • anyone who whines about this impression is either fucking retarded or havn't seen the movie. This is a pretty damn good impression ,

  • LOL man your voice is spot on.

    make some more of raul duke haha.

  • excellant

  • Spot on.

  • I miss my chickensaymiaow account! :( Fantastic impressions, you have your Johnny Depp impressions nailed perfectly! :D

  • Whoa! Very much like the original!

    Well done! :D

  • love that monologue at the beggining and when he explaines the whole drugs on the red sweater part lol good work mate, good work...

  • ur johnny depp ones r my fave.

  • The voice is spot on.

  • Lmao, You freaking fairy. You girthly fucking moron. This impression is close to near perfect, almost as near perfect as his other ones. And I think Mr. Depp would be impressed, if not proud. "you are a fag"? Who the fuck are you? Put your face out to the millions with confidence to achieve something, knowing you'll be criticized, then we'll see if you have words. That's right, question yourself. And I know you will, fucking swine. You can bank on that.

  • Right on man!

  • your voice is ok. but you both sound AND look like a retard.

  • your voice is pretty good. but you look like a retard.

  • this is an impression of depp, nothing like hunter

  • ha, hunter would be disgusted,

  • that was a dead on impression

  • This is SO awesome!Nice Voice!

     I love this movie, even if it's so pointless :D

  • Pointless? You obviously didn't pay attention to the sub-context or the narrative dialog, fairy. The point of the movie is to chase the American dream, to live an examined life, and to not be infected by the conforming propaganda manifest in the many whose lives are whats pointless and drifting. Plain and simple, Hunter Thompson was NOT going to suddenly wake up one day an old man and reflect: what did I do with my life but be programmed by society to apply myself to pointless things until i die

  • Wow dude! Really good impression

  • we can't stop here - this is bat country! i love your impressions, they are amazing, and your normal accent is cute.

  • Good job :)

  • Had that tone of Hunter's voice

  • We can't stop here.. this is fag country!

  • @AllyndDudnikov I second that.... Interp is ALL off.... Take some lessons man...

  • Good, but a little too forced. It's almost like Humphrey Bogart doing Johnny Depp doing HST.

    You annunciation is off at the beginning and end of words. Let the jaw bone relax.

    Selah.

  • eh, it's hard to take on something like this without looking like a jackass. no offense but you are no exception my friend...

  • He was on acid....Not on crack!!! HAHAHA! Little too tweekish brah!

  • agree:)

  • @snicklefritzmayo

    actually, the acid came down later. I liked this impression very much. You added your own touch even if it was unintentional. it makes one think of HST and yet it doesn't feel like you're stultifying him.

    All you people that claim Hunter would have hated this. Sure, he probably would have, but think of somebody making an impression of you, you wouldnt like it either. As a journalist HST understood that phenomenal characters provoke chaffs.

  • @snicklefritzmayo Brah! You fucking idiot Johnny was on Speed while filming that, Brah. Furthermore you dumb laming, I understand; "Why read the book when you can watch the movie?" but when it comes to the Greatest of writers in the 20th century (even considered amongst his peers) you should at least have read this book. The book is almost verbatim to the open scene, except for the fact that they were on either then. Thats why they have to pull over and pop the amyl's. check you notes brah!

  • haha, even the visuals were good

  • This was a good impression man

  • This was amazing!!

  • Thats johnny depp impersonating Hunter s..in saying that its spot on..My advice to you would be to start taking off real people..well impressed

  • LMAO well done

    i was him for halloween

  • to twichty but a top class impression

  • Seriously how awesome do you wanna be?

    you blow my mind!!!!

  • haha this is awesome. 5/5

  • I think some people are going way overboard with the critism. If you don't like it, fine. If you have something to say that is constructive, that's good! Otherwise, give the guy a break, if you're just going to insult him, that's not helping anybody. He obviously enjoys doing the impressions, so why should he stop? As he said, it was a spur of the moment thing, so not everything is going to be perfect, he hasn't worked on it! It still sounded very much like Johnny Depp's potrayal. Keep it up! :D

  • thanks you very much :)

  • @chickensaymiaow what a lame comment. it's not that you're wrong but it's still a lame comment.

  • fuck you. you fucking faggot. this is a mockery of a legend

  • @chickensaymiaow The negative comments come from the people that wish they had the ability to stop watching American Idiot and think for themselves.. I at first was thinking oh great this should be dumb, but then I noticed it said "This is my impression of johnny depp's portrayal of HST" I watched it and said shit this is funny & good, especially the point you hit that Hunter was not so happy with the portrayal of Raul Duke but I also think hunter wanted to see himself portrayed vs alter-ego.

  • @chickensaymiaow Your foolish. Youtube allows people to comment. Last time I checked a comment can be an insult. If he posts a bad video than he should know that he will be criticized.

  • Wov. The voice was grate but no visual expressions.

  • That is a great impression on a great movie! 5 stars to you

  • Cringe inducing.

  • haha, nice!

    any chance you could try johnny depps version of willy wonka?

  • Like holding a candle to the sun

  • hunter was a pised off man. you made him look like idot . dont ever do this agsin

  • this is not an impression of Hunter himself, but an impression of Johnny Depp's portrayal, of which it is known Hunter's opinion wasn't too fond, despite his friendship with Johnny.

    So silence your mouth!

    this may as well not be an impression of Hunter at all, but in fact a Johnny Depp character... jeeeez!

  • Actually, Hunter's appraisal of Johnny Depp's performance was that "Depp did a hell of a job." He was highly impressed with Depp's portrayal...not sure he'd be so thrilled with your cheap imitation, or your false claims about his opinions.

  • really... because in an interview with Johnny about the process, where he talks about his time with Hunter, he said that he kept switching from approving to downright loathing.

    So noone really knows fully what Hunter thought, therefore you neither are eligable for judgement.

  • Thompson himself never publicly expressed anything but approval when it came to Depp's performance and the film itself. "Yeah, I liked it. It's not my show, but I appreciated it. Depp did a hell of a job. His narration is what really held the film together, I think."

    And since his stated opinion of Where the Buffalo Roam used words like "sucks," "bad," "dumb," and "low-rent," I think we can safely assume that he would not have held his tongue about the Fear & Loathing movie if he disliked it.

  • @urbanartuk watch the movies GONZO and buy the ticket take the ride

  • @urbanartuk are you kidding? Hunter loved jonnys preformance..

  • @scatpack You are fuckin stupid.. I say this because if you knew how to read, the guy that uploaded the video says "this is my impression of Johnny Depp's portrayal of Hunter S Thompson in the fantastic film "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"... phenominal film" check it... It's right in the top where the letters start. How do you know Hunter was pissed off? Is that a subjective thought? Do you know what that is? If not here's how you can tell if your're lying to yourself. Did you ever ask hunter?

  • Your body language and facial expressions are not that good really, but the voice is spot on! Good job.

  • Really good! :)

  • That was really good!!! Fear an loathing!! such a good film, and impression!!!

  • Pretty good. ahah

  • HAHA awesome!

  • We can't stop here! this is bat country

    Epic

  • yes this section is about opinions but there's a difference between opinion, cirticising and hating. your hating him not criticising or sharing your opinion, there's a difference.

  • omg that was the most embarrassing thing ive ever watched

  • more like michael j fox

  • well i liked it.. haha

  • Sounded just like him!!

  • One of the best "JD doing HST" impressions I've seen. Excellent work.

    And a note to fellow YouTubers:

    Do try to remember that a person doesn't have to do the best thing in the history of the earth in order to garner your respect. It's enough that they do it better than you.

  • BSC, that comment of yours made no sense! And those shades look nice, there's no need to insult them

  • nice pin

  • I concur with the great DRx

    Thompson... HST is rolling in his grave because of this crap

  • That wasn't too bad, you got the sound of his voice correct but not really the enunciation of how he spoke. And all the people writing "you suck" or "fuck this" should post their own impression of HST if they're not going to leave any intelligent criticism. o!o

  • quite the contrary we arnt stupid enough to re-do parts from fear and loathing in a fucked up order with a bic pen in our mouths. Thomson smoked ciggarettes, and wouldnt drop money on expensive aviators. The manerisms were fucked and obviously forced. AND ITS YOUTUBE. thomson didnt care about looking good, he just did shit, thats why he did it the best because he didnt give a shit, it seems you do. so stop. no offence intended, copying someone is the truest form of flatery, just do it rite...

  • ummm im sorry but lets see you do a better impression of Hunter S Thompson?

  • ummm even if i could do a better one i wouldnt because that wasnt the point. plus it was my opinion which is what this section is for isnt it?

  • Je le trouve particuliérement laid

  • Another great performance...Apparently, some people on here don't realize how tough this must be to get down pat....

  • nice

  • fucking brilliant

  • an absolute raping of the late great dr. thompson. i hope you die and burn in fucking hell if he had not taken his own life by now im sure this would have pushed him to that solution. thank you so much for whoring out a beloved symbol of 70s americana you shit head

  • fuck this

  • I looooved that movie!

    Great impression(:

  • lol GOOD JOB

  • the "peaks" of his personality or the ends most noticed are too exaggerated, unless that's what you were shooting for.

  • this made me smile! You should make it longer!!

  • great man!

  • I doubt hunter s. thompson ever had a computer screen glaring on his shades. brutal.

  • niiiiiiiiiiiiice

  • not bad, not bad at all, but i didnt feel the emotion in "bat country" :L

  • this sounds more like heath ledger's joker

  • wow, your Depp impressions are so insanely good! You got the voice, tone and rhythm PERFECT!

    [:

    Keep doing this! :D

  • good impersonation

  • good vid man but make it longer ow and great impression

  • you got his voice down to a t...it actually sounds like depp...very good impression...
