Top 5 Funniest SNL Impressions Ever

[@carolinamurtha3102]

Whoever the genius was that thought of Melissa McCarthy to play Sean Spicer better have gotten the bonus of a lifetime. That was the parody I didn’t know I needed and still makes me laugh so hard years later 😂.

[@KashyaSamuels]

Probably her

[@mattadams5541]

She was great. And I didn’t know it was her for the first few runs. I still enjoy them on YT on occasion.

[@mandypants9936]

It’s amazing!!

[@Rutabega_NG]

I had no idea that I needed Melissa McCarthy to play Sean Spicer until she did it.

[@lanoosaurusrex]

Sean spicer yelling on his podium segway going through NYC is always going to live rent free in my head lol 😂

[@sadia2395]

That reached me thousands of miles away in India as well 😅.Melissa aced it

[@anitakay5114]

Melissa McCarthy and Tina Fey nailed it, especially Tina Fey. She could have been Sarah Palin's clone. 😄

[@ryangarrick9594]

I was dying laughing the first time I saw that.

[@Rutabega_NG]

That bit is still one of the funniest damn things.

[@jasongoldman3850]

No one even comes close to Tina Fey’s Palin. That was beyond priceless.

Sometime when watching, I forget it's Tina.

[@eggrollorsoup6052]

Well, Julianne Moore does an amazing performance in Game Change (just not as humorous).

[@Prettypeachylife]

I disagree. Dana Carrey as Bush was the best!

[@jmharris251]

@Prettypeachylife there are many fab impersonations by really talented ppl. DANA as Bush for sure. All Kate M., Melissa as Spicer, Amy as Hillary, Tina's Sarah, Jim Carey as Matthew M, Burt Reynolds, Sean Connery in stupid celebrity jeopardy.

[@Bowiebonolennon1982]

He didn't play the character out of hate... his impression and Dana Carvey's Bush Sr. are just impressions. Tina HATED Palin...and Alec Baldwin hated Trump. They were popular because they hated the people they were pretending to be. @@gwenhafford4112

Phil Hartman's Clinton is pretty spot on too. Not sure how this is a top 5 impressions list. The last one of Beiber isn't accurate or funny, just cause she's kinda dressed like him?? OK.
