which is why it's time to buy the new improved kiwi dough [Applause] for this list we'll be looking at this comic mastermind's most hilarious and uncanny impersonations of anyone and everyone from legendary singers to hollywood actors to tv personalities and more what's your favorite jim carrey impersonation be sure to let us know in the comments alrighty then let's get to the list number 20. jerry seinfeld how do you impersonate an overacting comic easy overact even more and make the impression so over the top that it can't help but be hilarious you ever make the wrong turn and next thing you know you're in the hood that's what jim did with his impression of jerry seinfeld on the sketch comedy show in living color carrie's impression came right at the height of seinfeld's fame in the early 90s his ability to capture the essence of seinfeld while taking it about five steps too far shows his keen understanding of the now iconic sitcom and its titular star the scenario of having jerry and george visit the projects is amazing and although it might prove too daring for sensitive audiences today it nevertheless holds up all these years later as a very funny impression why do they call it who's the bomb what's the rush why would a bomb be in a hurry they have nowhere to go they have no pressing engagements they're bombs they should call it dragging you off and kicking number 19. robert de niro short but oh so sweet jim carrey's impression of robert de niro's meatball commercial shows us why we love and revere the wiry canuck that says i see me the ball from the eyes to the mouth to the way de niro tilts his head when he talks jim captures it all in to boot he even has the goodfella himself laughing along at the impression the whole time now that's a spicy meet the ball good thing because robert de niro seems like he could get scary if he doesn't like what he's seeing at least based on his movies luckily de niro along with all the esteemed actors present at meryl streep's 2004 afi tribute seem to be having a good time while jim picks apart their mannerisms and quirks holding them up for the world to laugh at number 18. wiley coyote for what it's worth we miss the simplicity of the wily coyote and roadrunner cartoons from looney tunes same basic premise every short yet somehow it never got old and one of the funniest moments in any given short was when wiley coyote whose perseverance was matched only by his misfortune inevitably hurt himself trying to catch the much faster more cunning roadrunner jim carrey's impression of the moment just following a wily coyote wipeout transports us right back into the beloved cartoons uh see if you recognize this it's my impression of wiley coyote walking away from a bad fall the accordion type sound effects from the harmonica are on point and the body movements are elastic and perfectly cartoonish simple yet satisfying [Music] number 17 james dean you know an impression is effective when it doesn't require a single spoken word to understand who's being impersonated a look is all it takes and jim carrey's impression of the rebel without a cause boils down to a single look you're tearing me apart what you you say one thing he says another and everybody changes back again but what a fine look it is his over the shoulder pretty boy bewilderment captures the late film icon in the briefest and most direct way possible in fact we wonder if the look inspired zoolander's blue steel in any case jim has that rare ability to win the audience over with no more than a facial expression and he's done it in movies on the late show circuit and even in the actor's studio james yes you're tearing me apart you say one thing she says another and everybody switches back again number 16 david caruso it's been mentioned before but does jim carrey just have more facial muscles than the rest of us or is it that he can control those muscles better than we can there's something almost superhuman about jim's ability to contort his face in any kind of expression and the skill is put to great use in his impression of actor david caruso from csi miami you don't fall three stories get up and run away you do you've got something to hide hardly known as a prop comic jim uses his shades to hilarious effect as he imitates one of caruso's many button lines from the show he used to be an english teacher i before e except after c like a classic mic drop david caruso's lines made for perfect fade to black moments and jim mimics them with uncanny tone and timing number 15. ross perot not even billionaire business moguls are spared from carrie's comedograph and the late ross perot is an example i was not put on the ballot by either the two parties i was not put on the ballot by any pac money by any foreign lobbyist money by any special interest money you may be wondering who that is and what he sounds like but take it from us jim gets the guy about as well as he gets himself sure it took some makeup and fake ears to pull off but this impression from his in living color days is about so much more than just a look now i felt about what i said last time i was here and that's why i brought along a little plan to help you guys the former third party presidential hopeful from texas is picked apart from head to toe or in his case from ears to toe by a carry at the top of his game the distant glint in his eyes the texan drawl it all comes together here for a great showcase of carrie's talent number 14 michael bolton anyone still sleeping on jim carrey's very talents should probably realize this even if this guy was barred from stage comedy blacklisted from hollywood and denied access on tv he'd still be a wildly successful singer [Music] that's right jim carrey has the chops to pull off a michael bolton that's basically as good as the real thing and if the real michael bolton could sell over 75 million records we're convinced jim could do 100 million can someone please get this guy a record deal [Music] we're not vouching for his songwriting abilities only his voice but then again that same statement also holds true for the man he's impersonating number 13 james stewart seems like no matter what happens no matter how bad things get jimmy stewart can look at it in a positive way well i guess we're going to have ourselves a nuclear holocaust the best impressions come from a place of adoration and respect that fact is evident in jim carrey's impression of beloved actor jimmy stewart as the bit goes stuart had such a calm and positive energy that he could make even the worst news sound quaint and almost tolerable you've done enough for a search warrant now and the interesting part about this particular impression is that it honestly doesn't seem like much of a leap for carrie jim also has this calming and upbeat aura about him even if he is detailing the pitfalls of fame or deriding the modern world for its lack of spirituality in some ways jim carrey is like the jimmy stewart of today crazy versatile instantly recognizable and able to turn any part into a memorable one number 12. e.t e.t the extraterrestrial not every impression needs to be cerebral and born of long hours of study and practice some can be downright fun and gratuitous like jim carrey's e.t the lovable alien took the 80s by storm and became a cultural phenomenon and yes we're talking about carrie but seriously jim's version of the spielberg brainchild is sweet simple and strangely endearing kinda like the real e.t like we've already said sometimes an impression is about catching one overarching aspect of the character and what most people remember from et is that lovable shriek early on in the film and like with every impression jim nails it number 11. ronald reagan just like with billionaire magnets not even former presidents get a pass from jim there you go again we're not sure how reagan might have reacted to his being caricatured by carrie but we like to think that as a former actor himself he might have appreciated the work that goes into getting into the mind of another person especially one as hard to follow and understand as reagan himself we'll leave politics out of this one and remember the impression as yet another showing of how wildly funny carrie can be with body language and facial expression alone well i'm dead but i'm going to be a guest on dancing with the stars this season okay i hope this little talk is helped number 10. william shatner william shatner is a fun person to imitate his mannerisms are unique to him his acting style is way over the top and he's played such iconic television characters that he's basically known far and wide he took the role of captain kirk to unforeseen heights on star trek but even he isn't above the wrath of carrie in this sketch from in living color carries kirk has to not only navigate space but also the racial tensions aboard the starship enterprise and it makes for some comedy gold as with other impressions on this list this is a clear case of exaggeration over accuracy but hey doesn't that kinda also define the way shatner goes about his acting [Applause] number 9. matthew mcconaughey all i got to do is let go of the illusion that i exist drive around on my lincoln let's be honest somebody had to take those lincoln commercials down a peg or two and who better than jim carrey from the sleepy eyes to the slow texas drawl carries mcconaughey seems so effortless and natural that if you close your eyes well you might just fall asleep lincoln should probably release a disclaimer warning drivers to never listen to mcconaughey's commercials while actually operating the vehicle but we'll let them figure that out as far as we're concerned this impression from kerry is basically flawless but we guess lincoln didn't want to fork over millions of dollars to have carrie in the commercials instead jobly we were a mistake like earth i believe it is each man's duty to correct the mistake that nature made extinguish mankind like the pathetic match that it is number eight kevin bacon you got anything else in your repertoire you want to try out oh jeez well i have a really mean kevin bacon impression but i can't i don't know if we should do that or not as jim himself acknowledges this impression is kind of mean kind of lazy and totally hilarious who knew all you needed was a shirt or a hood to do a spot-on impression of the longtime actor kevin bacon is batman leave it to carrie to dissect what it really takes to be kevin bacon and while we're on the subject let's also acknowledge the six degrees of separation here jim played the riddler in batman forever and impersonated kevin bacon as batman on the tonight show eerie isn't it number seven kermit the frog and miss piggy if this impression doesn't get the nostalgic juices flowing then you didn't do childhood right kermit frank here thank you er it's great to be here carrie's impersonations of kermit and miss piggy are so charming accurate and full of love that it's a wonder he wasn't offered a job with the muppets his body somehow even moves in perfect sync with kermit's and his ability to go back and forth between the voices literally makes him a one-man wrecking crew we'd like to say more but this impression basically speaks for itself my love might be living you mean what i'm going to sing a song together number six pee-wee herman hi boys and girls your friend peewee has been on a new adventure which is why it's time to buy the new improved peewee bow younger audiences may not be familiar with pee-wee herman but nobody who grew up in the 80s and 90s can deny the perfection with which jim captures the once massive tv star pee-wee is no easy imitation there's more than one voice going on and a whole lack of facial expressions and body movements but leave it to the master to out pee-wee pee-wee himself you know it's an incredible impression when jim actually comes to look like pee-wee herman to the point that it would be hard to pick one or the other out of a let's not go there so hurry on down to your local toy store and pick up the new peewee doll today number five jay leno ah the high-pitched voice the twitchy head movements the oversized chin there's so much to jay leno that's right for the taking in jim carrey's impression it's hard to harp on just one thing thank you thank you uh that's a great round of applause there gets me real excited makes me so excited my voice goes real high jim becomes jay for a surprisingly long time basically long enough to run through an entire episode of leno's late night show and every bit of it works the ribbing of sinead o'connor is ultimately a bonus but the laughs are heavy throughout this one let's rise for the singing of our national anthem ah didn't you okay that's good you can take a joke like that it's nice when the mirror is held up to a great humorist like jay leno known for picking others apart and here again there's no mirror more accurate than jim carrey number 4. robin williams there's likely only one comic on the planet capable of matching the energy and charisma of a young robin williams and that's jim carrey well going awesome come in awesome yes mark this week in divine anchorage i'd like to report on the political situation down here in canada almost like they were cut from the same cloth these two shared many similarities which shines through in this impression jim's robin williams is downright genius and given how young he was at the time of the impression it's truly amazing how he captures the latter's mood mind and mannerisms there will never be another robin williams but as long as carrie's around to imitate him he'll never fully be gone much less forgotten well sir i don't know how much value i have in this universe but i do know that i made a few people happier than they would have been without me and as long as i know that i'm as rich as i ever need to be so i'll catch you on the rebound your magnitude until next week [Music] number three jack nicholson seriously how do eyebrows even move like that yet again this impression is about so much more than just a voice or an expression it's about capturing an essence and no hollywood actor has a more recognizable essence than jack nicholson from one flew over the cuckoo's nest to a few good men few living screen legends have more classics under their belt here's johnny and with all that time and fodder to choose from jim makes no mistake in his impression and if you don't know that then you don't know jack i can't believe i ate the whole thing if you need further proof look no further than the deep fake of carrie in the shining number 2. elvis presley even back in the early 80s long before he hit hollywood gold jim was cracking audiences up and making a name for himself not just as a great up-and-coming comic but also as an uber talented performer i was attacked by a dog i was standing in the street screaming trying to get the vicious dog off my leg in his elvis impersonation jim shows off his surprising singing pipes and suffice it to say that somewhere up there on the moon andy kaufman is smiling down on him [Applause] [Music] it's clear even at a young age that jim was here to stay and despite the countless elvis impressions we've had to endure over the decades there's something particularly endearing about jim's portrayal of the kingdom [Music] before we continue be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest

separates jim carrey from most other impressionist comedians is the full body commitment he gives to his characters and the full breadth of his talent is on display in his spot on clint eastwood impression i love that tape and i show it to all my friends from the facial contortion to the intimidating glint in the eyes to the uncanny voice and mannerisms jim captures the screen legend in a way that few others could who better to honor the man with no name for his lifetime achievement award than jim after all mimicry is the highest form of flattery and it's probably safe to say that jim carrey only imitates the ones he loves now you have to ask yourself one question do i feel lucky well do i wonder if we'll have to add joe biden to this list after jim carrey starts impersonating him
