he's such a fantastic voice actor too. he's so good that for YEARS i had no fucking idea it was him doing the joker. once i found out i was like omg that's amazing, but now that i know i'll never be fooled again.

WRONG. dude fooled me again when he did fire lord ozai for avatar the last air bender. NO IDEA it was him doing that voice for a long ass time too!

Telephone, telegraph, tell a Carrie.

I loved that.

MH seems like a nice guy. It's the first time I've seen him as himself.

[u/RockyRockington]

He’s an incredibly talented voice actor so it seems logical that he would be good at impressions. That said, I was still surprised by how spot-on it was.

[u/Shilo59]

He does a good Alec Guinness too.

Impression comes in at 2:11 for those wondering.

He does a better one in the Force Awakens Bad Lip Reading
