Top 10 Funniest SNL Impressions Ever

[@lydwinaofschiedam2685]

I watched a documentary on Sarah Palin - and they actually got Sarah and Tina Fey confused and used a Tina-playing-Sarah photograph. Now that is an impression.

[@maryrosekent8223]

So good!

[@KnarfStein]

Well, no one is accusing Palin of intelligence.

[@robinhuff1867]

​@KnarfStein why? She's far smarter than Kamala Harris.

[@GltrGal17]

@robinhuff1867 in what possible universe is Sarah Palin smarter than VP Harris? Even McCain said choosing her was his worst mistake. The woman doesn’t read newspapers, magazines or books.

[@superz3ro1]

Haha that's great!

[@briannaokroi7844]

Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton was the best. He was a great comic actor

[@lolariver]

Kate as Justin Bieber was one of the few impressions that completely stopped me in my tracks. Amazingly funny! Also, all of Dana Carvey's impressions!

[@maryrosekent8223]

Carvey…

[@lolariver]

@@maryrosekent8223 stupid auto correct. I fixed it.

[@maryrosekent8223]

@@lolariver I think my working life in offices keeps me from letting things just slip past…my eyes just see it and I can’t not comment. I adore Dana Carvey-I used to see him regularly at The Other Cafe in San Francisco’s Cole Valley neighborhood. I had such a massive, iceberg-sized crush, and he was always so sweet and kept gently nudging me toward his brother Scott. I liked Scott, but he wasn’t Dana.

[@lolariver]

@@maryrosekent8223 that is so cool! Dana Carvey seems so down to earth.

[@kristinschermann6581]

Yep, I love that Dana Carvey- he was also spot-on doing Jimmy Stewart, Ross Perot & John Travolta.... that man can do no wrong!

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

Tina Fey did a terrific job on her Sarah Palin impression.

[@robbiescheid4127]

And she looks like her too

[@rachelmartin5187]

Jay Pharaoh deserves some love for playing EVERY rapper and actor too.

[@stephanie3848]

"I don't party much anymore, 'cause I'm a man now" 😂 Lol agree that Kate McKinnon's Justin Bieber is #1

[@gardenchill4013]

Norm doing Burt as Turd Ferguson, with the gum chewing and delivery, so good.

[@daydreambeliever3127]

Bowen Yang as George Santos never fails to make me laugh 😅

[@bonniecramond6425]

How could you leave out Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump? The best!

[@SpeedyEric1]

It's yuge!

[@mariovaccarella6854]

I agree. I also think that he & Jim Carrey, as Joe Biden are #1

[@mariovaccarella6854]

Alec also nails it with his Tony Bennett & other impressions. Let me know what you think

[@susanutterback3356]

One of my favorites is Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton. I loved those skits!

[@theyinyang1103]

James Austin Johnson as Trump, Melissa McCarthy’s Sean Spicer, Kate McKinnon’s Elizabeth Warren and Jeff Sessions, and Norm McDonald’s Burt Reynolds have been my favorite impressions.

[@Lovesapuzzle]

Yes X 5. When Spicy drove his podium into the press seating, I cried from laughter.

[@terrayfic]

Molly Shannon as Monica Lewinski is perfection. Phil Hartman as Clinton

[@bballbabiegrl]

I always loved Kate McKinnon as Angela Merkel and Kenan Thompson as Big Papi (David Ortiz)!

[@cynthiawenzelcole3060]

Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer dissolves me into a fit of giggles. Every. Single. Time.

[@instaperil]

Should have been #1

[@MsBizzyGurl]

The ferocity😂😅

[@benjaminharman1987]

I think Vanessa Bayer's impression of Jennifer Anniston playing Rachel Greene on Friends beats out her impression of Miley Cyrus.

[@PersephoneSelene]

Larry David as Bernie is so spot on, should have been more than an honorable mention.

[@Lovesapuzzle]

Did you know they are distant cousins?

[@Lisa59]

Larry even has the natural NYC accent of Bernie's

[@Lulumaikalani]

Maya Rudolph as Donatella Versace was priceless!

[@caccarlac9014]

What about Dan Aykroyd as Julia Child, he was amazing.

[@crystalshaw8744]

She's too young to remember that.

[@belinus7180]

WTF is Ana Gastyer's Celine Dion not on here? It should have been #1. Hell, Celine invited Ana on stage to do the impression during a concert.

[@pamelagood8077]

And her Martha Stewart!

[@owie4070]

YUP!!@@pamelagood8077

[@kevinhanson6106]

Every impression she does is spot on!

[@theacousticelectriccompany530]

Where’s Norm Macdonald’s impression as Burt Reynolds/ Turd Ferguson? That’s a glaring oversight MsMojo.

[@marygraham2399]

And Norm McDonald as Bob Dole and as David Letterman

[@TightyWhiteyTrash]

*Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris in the Presidental Debate scene where the fly lands on Mike Pence was one of my favorites too*

[@kevinhanson6106]

Everything Maya Rudolph does is great.

[@kittem]

That was gold!

[@gorigirl66]

One of my all time favorites is Maya Rudolph as Queen Bey on hot ones. She was spot on. Totally had me laughing out loud 😂

[@solidshade81]

Dana Carvey doing Ross Perot was pretty hilarious

[@vampirefox7]

nasim petrad playing kim k is the best impression that doesnt get enough credit

[@Lexichi22]

Alec Baldwin's Trump was SPOT ON

[@Backpfeifengesicht45]

James Austin Johnson's Trumpanzee is also spectacular.

[@teresahegerich8835]

​@@Backpfeifengesicht45Yes, he is pretty good.

[@Jianeen]

All of them are so so talented! The best

[@leesashriber5097]

I think the older episodes were way better than many of these newer ones. I appreciate the list.😊

[@bleufoxplays]

Bill Hader's Stefon was one of my fave characters on that show.

[@zovalentine7305]

💯❗

[@tgnben]

Not having Will Ferrell as Bush on this list is a crime

[@matty7034]

Mikey Day and Alex Moffats Don Jr. amd Eric impressions are the most underrated fs

[@lydwinaofschiedam2685]

They were the best part of Donald Trump’s presidency!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@slick-ui3fi]

I looked forward to Alex Moffat. Always hilarious.

[@bobtablak]

Mike Meyers as Mick Jagger and Mick as Keith Richards. It makes me laugh just thinking about it.

[@jackiegillies4165]

Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia 😂, but EVERYONE thought she had, cause of Tina Fey!

[@dietotaku]

she did say her experience in foreign policy stemmed from how close alaska is to russia (geographically), which is only slightly less absurd than "i can see russia from my house"

[@jackiegillies4165]

@dietotaku thats really not the point, that Feys rendition was so believable, that EVERYONE thought she said it.

[@kevinhanson6106]

​@@dietotakuThank you for reminding everyone just how absurd she really was 😅

[@ericgaskins571]

Chris Farley doing newt gingredge was pretty good. He actually did it on the floor of congress. Was priceless

[@TheTjSquire]

I couldn't give a shit less about Ariana Grande's music. I will never forget her episode of SNL. Every impression she attempted she nailed better than most of the usual cast member's specialities.

[@kellidinit3725]

She’s phenomenal at it. I’ve seen her imitating other pop stars, and she nails it every time. Also not a fan of her music. Not that I hate it either, I just honestly don’t listen too much outside of my own library. In other words, I’m old. 😂😂😂

[@amsivertson]

I was sure Phil Hartman’s Bill Clinton would at least be a runner-up!

[@theseventhchilde]

Kate McKinnon on how to do Justin Bieber: "You have to look like you've been naughty but cute at the same time" (missing her hilarious accompanying facial expressions)

[@odell29]

Bill Hader is missing. His Keith Morrison is great, but he does so many great impressions!

[@humpmunky]

Fred Armisen as Prince!

[@Lovesapuzzle]

I love all of SNL impressions. Melissa Villasenor's Lady Gaga, among others, was great. She could match their singing as well as their speech and mannerisms.

[@ericgaskins571]

Jimmy fallon doing berry gibb on the berry gib talk show. Priceless.

[@Randy.Wuerger]

Phil Hartman's Ronald Reagan, Evil Genius sketch absolutely tops all of these as the Best Ever.

[@loribodinizzo5303]

Kristen Wiigs Liza Minelli is hysterical.

[@D2RCR]

On the same vein as Tina Fey's Sarah Palin and Melissa McCarthy's Sean Spicer, Aidy Bryant's Sarah Huckabee Sanders was brilliant and I'm sad we didn't see that more.

[@aarondigby5054]

Aidy Bryant as Sen Ted Cruz

[@charlesjohnson7458]

OMG PLEASE DO ANOTHER 10

[@JennaMaBob]

Dan Aykroyd as Julia Child 😂

[@danjoseph6045]

Bill Hader as Alan Alda

[@heyelliew]

Bill Hader as Vincent Price

[@illsIStheGREATEST]

I know this isn’t an impression but Christopher walker & will ferrell with the more cow bell skit is my all time favorite

[@gypsydoratarot8441]

You forgot to mention Vanessa Bayer’s spot-on Jennifer Aniston impression!

[@DelightLovesMovies]

Jim Carry's Joe Biden and Brad Pitts Dr Fauci. However I never get tired of watching Eddie Murphy's James Brown.

[@zovalentine7305]

Jim and Brad were🏆🏆

[@bennymora3086]

I gotta say these impressions are so great they make me laugh!😆

[@omargoodnesssake]

*I love Leslie Jones as Whoopi Goldberg. And Alec Baldwin’s impersonation of Tony Bennett is hilarious.*

[@Iloveflowers2024]

Jay Pharoah is very talented and he does a great Denzel Washington. He should be on this list for sure.

[@juliepender7157]

Kate's should have been her Rudy Giuliani impression - it's even better than her Bieber one.

[@What_Makes_Climate_Tick]

Kate McKinnon as Ruth Bader Ginsburg was very funny, although not really true to life. "That was a Ginsburn!"

[@lyncampbell7806]

Eddie Murphy as Mr Roger’s/Mr Robinson neighborhood…very funny!

[@kittem]

Pete Davidson as Eminem!! 😂

[@illsIStheGREATEST]

Larry David had me rolling 😂😂

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

Maya Rudolph as Beyonce Knowles. 😁😂

[@wilrivera2668]

... Alec Baldwin as the ex president ...

[@valfletcher9285]

LOL Eddie Murphy as James Brown "In the Hot Tub"!!!!

[@benjamingates3695]

Great list…I always liked Norm Macdonalds- Burt Reynolds’s

[@belli-bell9246]

How is Alec Baldwin not on this list for his Trump impersonation????? He’s the GOAT for that one!

[@alisongunther6486]

Where's Will Ferrell's "W?" Really all of them. At least you got one of them

[@nrsven]

alec baldwin as trump was so funny.

[@akeames]

These are all pretty good choices, but this list should have mentioned Will Ferrel’s George W. Bush impression. 🤣🤣

[@MymusicW630]

So many great ones! Especially Kate McKinnon as the Biebs! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@stopthelies3973]

The Burt Reynolds on the jeopardy sketches was always making me laugh! 😅

[@Qermaq]

Melissa Villasenor's impression of anyone is missing from this list.

[@I_Heart_Hader]

Any bill hader impression

[@Lovesapuzzle]

Tina Fey as Palin is my choice for #1. A close 2nd is James Austin Johnson as Trump.

[@nata3467]

a state of humble brags- nailed it

[@dennislim6056]

How about Kristen Wiig as Lana Del Rey? Jay Pharaoh as Jay-Z? Anna Gasteyer as Celine Dion? Zooey Deschanel as Mary Kate Olsen?

[@stuffwelike7184]

Lol when Dana Carvie did that whistle my cats jumped up from sleeping with their ears perked up. They're like "WTf" 😅

[@johnnyb5773]

It’s nice to have a narrator who describes exactly whats happening, so I can enjoy the impressions.

[@Betts711]

It’s so damn annoying!

[@tonjacampbell5282]

Alec Baldwin was the best at playing Donald Trump!

[@falconwing89]

Forgot "Baba Wawa" or Barbara Walters.

[@kittem]

Taylor Swift as Kate Gosslin is also hysterical!!😂

[@justineves3588]

Very very great fun list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 😊❤

[@motherlove202]

Fun fact: Larry David and Bernie Sanders are related. They're distant cousins

[@WhistlerSkiegr8]

Well Done...and going back a couple decades Big honorable mentions: Phil Hartman as Sinatra in The Sinatra Group with ALL cast members nailing their 'group' parts including guest Sting as Billy Idol. And again Phil as the Anal Chef and Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds in Jeopardy...

[@kevinmassey1164]

Would have guessed Belushi doing Joe Cocker….with Joe Cocker….would have been on the list

[@Floppyearsmomma]

Darrel Hammond as Bill Clinton should have been on the list.

[@ananewmanc]

I missed Donal Trump by Alec Baldwin and Prince by Fred Armisen 😂

[@zovalentine7305]

These are wonderful❤ 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Where’s the love for Mad Tv? So many videos could be done from that show.

[@Iloveflowers2024]

Though I like SNL and there have been some hilarious skits over the years and some great characters. I have always felt that Mad TV was much funnier.

[@herodaresfire4512]

🎉The correct answer would be bow wow, or ruff. Rough, that's the way your mother likes it.😂😂😂

[@patrickdtx3638]

How in the heck do you not have Lucy Lawless as Stevie Nicks??

[@lorettaclark1259]

Tina Fey was also the Head Writer of SNL for years.

[@jeffmann9393]

Tina Fay also had a good run as HEAD WRITER.

[@ericgaskins571]

Maya Rudolph as kamala Harris. "Let kamamala handle it" always makes me laugh. Although i swear to god those word salads of hers might give Maya a stroke

[@saraeastman40]

Too bad you completely skip over the original cast. Gilda Radner’s Roseanne Roseannannadanna and Baba Wawa were based on real newscasters and Candy Slice was based on Mick Jagger and rock stars of the time

[@KEMET1971]

The actor sounds very much like Connery, his impression is better than some of the others.

[@saraeastman40]

You missed Andy Kaufman’s Elvis, Eddie Murphy’s Buckwheat and nobody did Clinton better than Darrell Hammond

[@robertstate6518]

You forgot ALEC BALDWIN as Trump!

[@suef9435]

Can’t forget Chris Farley’s Chippendale’s audition with Patrick Swayze.

[@lauraschleicher7315]

FABULOUS

[@cmqguy]

How about Ana Gasteyer as Celine Dion. She does a spot on impersonation of the singer, lol.
