The Kevin Spacey impression was so good.

The creaking of Michael Caine's jacket is setting my teeth on edge.

Hey Benidict Wong is in a few of those masterclasses he clearly took notes because now he's like a big actors now.

Somehow the Kevin Spacey impression seems flattering compared to what we know about the real person.

[@CalumnMcAulay]

Is that the same Kevin Spacey that was found not guilty.

[@davidjames579]

That's what Kevin Spacey said to me.

[@thomasstone3480]

the joke where fiennes thinks titus andronicus is a band is ironic in hindsight lmao

[@Shaun742]

I always thought it was a reference to the band, but I've just looked it up and this series was broadcast about 6 months before their first album came out. That plus the Kevin Spacey thing is making me think Pete can see the future.

[@WiddlyScuds2909]

The Al Pacino reveal was actually fucking awesome Legitimately laughed out loud

[@phoebejohnson1925]

I don't know why I find the first part of the Michael Caine one so funny.

[@edburns584]

The first time I watched the Pacino one I half heard the limpy story and thought it was a dog being an ant made it even better

[@JadyLester]

My stoned ass thought Bob Hoskins was ACTUAL Bob Hoskins pretending (badly) to be Robert DeNiro and I had to rewatch the clip Brando LMAO "Where am I? What did I do? Uh, thank you. I don't know what I did."

[@logui7779]

I love Peter. He is incredibly talented.

[@dominicpaul1]

Oh my god this impression is INCREDIBLE

[@Colorband]

"Kevin Spacey" *_O O F_*

[@ObscureChess]

The impression is still incredible though so nothing lost really.

[@masonharvath-gerrans832]

Well, he got the pointers that Spacey is an evil, manipulative misogynist, so I can’t fault the impression

[@kev3d]

"LOOK AT ME, BRIAN!"

[@Randi-Rabbit]

Literally most of these people ended up in the I.T. Crowd in one episode or another, lol, "They call me Prime - TENETNNBA", "Look at me having an Orgasm!"

[@boggy8745]

The Marlon Brando one is truly disturbing

[@gunsharck]

You mean hilarious

[@daschwah]

For some reason, his Pacino plays like Pete impersonating Michael Keaton impersonating Pacino.

[@raphaelrau1728]

I like the Ralph Fiennes impression but is it not a lot like Leonard Rossiter in Rising Damp?! 😃👍🏻

[@jogon7914]

Yeah, didn't you see the big screen version of Rising Damp where Ralph Fiennes plays Rigsby? Samuel L Jackson plays Phillip, Zac Efron plays Alan and Susan Sarandon played Miss Jones.

Why is his 'Ralph Fiennes' impression instead an impersonation of Leonard Rossiter?

[@davidsomerset]

Because Feinnes looks like Rossiter playing Rigsby.
