Ever since Zack pointed out the difference in how Colbert does it and how you're supposed to do it, it's really deflated Stephen's routine for me. Zack's impression makes that small change (sounding out of breath) and the difference is huge.

Also, if y'all haven't already, watch Smiling Friends.

Tbf it's been stated before that his natural voice just sort of adds to it.

I don't think it sounds accurate at all. He hits some of the details but overall I can't imagine ever being fooled into thinking that's Trump.

The guy in the video has a better natural voice for it, and it helps that you're not seeing him do it so your brain is able to visualize trump better. Colbert's impression doesn't bother me. Now Seth Meyers though, that impression is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Anthony Atamanuik gets some of these verbal cues right, which is why I always preferred his to any other routine, but he has a way harder job having to also combine it with full-body acting, which he also somehow nails.

But yeah, Colbert's is pretty bad and only captures a certain sleazy tone he takes on occasionally.

It does help that his voice has a similar cadence.
What's weird is that oldschool Trump (pre-2015), impressions were easier. Just yell "You're fired" a lot. Of course now that he's a syphilis addled mush-brain, doing a proper impression is a lot harder.
Just look at Epic Rap Battles of History. There's a world of difference between the Trump vs Ebenezer Scrooge video, and the Trump vs Clinton video

What does that have to do with his trump impression?

Nothing. Posts like that do nothing but derail discussion.

Yeah okay, so let's just promote someone on this site that's friends with a well known white supremacist.

It's sad to see that even after jontron has admitted to being a neonazi shithead, he still has some folks who don't care and are still associated with him.

The fact that I am being mocked for being rightfully disgusted is pretty sad too, I guess.

"This person's friends with X so we shouldn't watch them" is so dumb lmao. I remember seeing a thread on here a few months back where someone actually said "I used to have a friend that ate at Chic Fil A so I stopped being friends with them when they wouldn't stop eating there." like ho-lee-fuck sometimes the people on this site are beyond human comprehension.
