[@drrockkso8882]

Fred Armisen can impersonate anyone. It's crazy how good he is at nailing the voices and mannerisms of almost any celebrity. The guy is a chameleon. And thanks to his mixed heritage (Venezuelan mother and Korean-German father), he can convincingly portray celebrities from many different backgrounds.

[@nickofthelivingdead88]

Why do I feel like Vincent Price really had to deal with this

[@bilalc4415]

Because the impressions are so impeccable......feels surreal! It's like when you watch Alec Baldwin do a really correct impression of Trump, you feel......did Trump really say that?

[@FlameG102]

because a lot of actors did and still do.

@@yettaplotz2155 umm.....that was 1983 or 84.

[@overlydramaticpanda]

@@ImYourHuckleberry_29 I honestly don't think you have to worry about Vincent Price being forgotten any time soon. He had an incredibly distinctive voice (and look), did plenty of screen work which will stick around for a long time (if not forever) and was just generally a significant pop culture icon for around 4 decades up until his death. If people can still remember Peter Lorre nowadays, they'll certainly be able to remember Vincent Price for decades as well. Plus, 'Thriller' may be almost 40 years old but it's one of the western world's most popular songs and is constantly being played at discos and parties especially around Halloween, which means that most people will hear Price's voice several times a year.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I always had the feeling these Vincent Price sketches went over everyone's head...But they were brilliant...It's not that much of a stretch to imagine that Mr. Price, a pretty formidable actor, ended up doing some low-grade t.v. special that was way beneath his skill, and kinda pissed him off...

[@MrNorcal81]

This and the Halloween special are, ahem, priceless. It was always nice to see, that even in a gentle, comical way, Vincent Price was not lost to history. Before Mr. Price began almost a second career in horror films (a number of which are considered to be classics), he was a top notch dramatic actor with many movie credits to his name. I suspect if he would have still been with us when these SNL sketches were done, he would have enjoyed them.
