    Nine years later, and this is still absolutely unrivaled.
    It blows me away that the RUclips gods never picked it up - this is *exactly* the kind of video that deserves millions of views!
    The structure of this bit is amazing. I betcha every second was planned and rehearsed. Brilliant! 👌

  • @JoeGaudet
    @JoeGaudet 12 лет назад +1

    I can watch you and Josh Robert Thompson do this all day. Two masters of impression. NOBODY can do the subtleties like you two. Brilliant as usual. Pure eye candy to watch the transformation from Jim to Bob.

  • @mickjoseph9431

    Do Robin Williams. You look like him and sound a bit like him too.

      Jim Meskimen great video. Really liked the Robin Spacey part. By the way I also wanted to mention that I think you also look like Jack Lemmon and Daniel Day-Lewis.

  • @aimfuldrifter
    @aimfuldrifter 8 лет назад +2

    You sir have put all nuances down to us. Thank you for that! :) Most people just do "the face" and quote Taxi Driver, without putting any effort into details.

  • @TheHUhelps
    @TheHUhelps 8 лет назад +3

    Really enjoyable to watch! You're a man of great talent. Perhaps it's been mentioned in the comments below but Robert De Niro did have his nose broken... By Robin Williams!
    A quote from IMDb, 'When filming the scene where Dr. Sayer and the security guards attempt to restrain Leonard, Robin Williams accidentally hit Robert De Niro in the face with his elbow, breaking De Niro's nose. De Niro later commented that his nose had been broken before, in the opposite direction, and this injury actually straightened it back out.'

    • @jimmeskimen

      +Doc Robby Amazing! Thanks for letting me know! And thanks for watching!

  • @JD43232
    @JD43232 6 лет назад

    Not only does he has the ability to do all these things with his voice or dive into someones point of view, Jim also has that kind of facial/bone structure that just morphs into the person he's doing. Especially Robin Williams, his eyes become as gentle and warm-hearted.

  • @SamAceRothstein
    @SamAceRothstein 8 лет назад +7

    haha watching this guy go on was like witnessing a flower blossom. it kept getting better and better until near perfection was achieved. even with these tips though, i only have the attitude and general body language down, my sound is way off unfortunately. if i was that good, i would honestly go around talking to people like that just to see their reactions lol.

    • @jimmeskimen

    Thanks, Jim! I used to be a Monday-nighter at the Comedy Store, and did some great sound effects (I was a no-props Foley artist) but could never do impressions.
    By breaking the art down into parts, you taught me more than anyone else ever did.
    Thanks, again!

  • @classactionsteve
    @classactionsteve 11 лет назад

    hahaha, i loved the transformation. I especially like the ending, because it sheds light on personalities and what they mean, "showing how to stop doing the De Niro impersonation"
    He's been doing his own impersonation his whole life!

  • @Chimbo65
    @Chimbo65 12 лет назад

    This looks so easy,but in fact it´s very hard work to get it spot on.
    But Jim does.
    He does the character from the inside out,unlike the outside in.
    Jim becomes De Niro for a while.
    Look out for his "Sinatra sings The Beatles" it´s great!
