I used to stutter pretty good when I was little, but I find this part of Portlandia to be absolutely hilarious. i know the struggle oh too well 😆

I agree. He is a great character actor. I love the subtlety he uses when building these alter egos. He is also good at creating a sense of history and familiarity between characters which adds more dimension to them.
