Impressionists Are Not Funny.
I'm talking about those assholes whose whole schtick is standing there "rocking out characters" while onlookers fidget uncomfortably.
Case in point: the asshat on WGN this morning. I don't remember his name, all I know is that he opened with a (surprise) Johhny Fucking Carson impression, which was horrible by the way, followed by someone else no one cares about, and rounded it all off with a fucking Groucho Marks. Peppered in were George goddamned Burns, and Harry Carray.
I'm not kidding you when I say it made me so angry I didn't even know what to do with myself.
So, to recap:
Impressionists should be stuffed in bags filled with snakes and drowned.

By and large, I agree. Most impressionists suck, unless they just stick to one person. Kevin Spacey and Kevin Pollak must have had an interesting time on the set of THE USUAL SUSPECTS finding out who does a shittier Walken. Personally, I think it's Spacey. I remember one that he did at the Oscars a few years ago and it was painful to watch. I do a better Walken than he does.
Personally, my favorite impression of all time was of Chevy Chase doing Gerald Ford. Why? Because he doesn't even put up the pretense that he's trying to do an impression. He's just being a bumbling moron and it's hilarious.
I do impressions. I don't make a living off of them. ::Shrug::
Do you make appearances at events like morning news coverage of St. Patrick's Day at some bar downtown at 7:30 in the morning, proceed to do them badly and make everyone around you comfortable?
If so, then into the bag of snakes with you.
But what about the snakes, Laura?! WHAT ABOUT THE SNAKES?!?!?!?!?!
How could you be so cruel....
