Title: "Brian Wilson" vs. "Mike Love" Post by: Awesoman on March 10, 2011, 02:41:30 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRU972iKRsQ
Already posted in the Youtube thread but thought I would share it here as well. The great impressionist Stevie Riks has finally hit a Beach Boys kick with a few Beach Boys-related videos. The one above is his newest one. If you haven't checked out his Youtube page yet, you definitely should. He does some hilarious, spot-on impersonations and there are hours of videos to be found on there. Title: Re: \ Post by: Dunderhead on March 10, 2011, 02:51:27 PM Let me be the first to say
"what the fodder?" Title: Re: \ Post by: Don_Zabu on March 10, 2011, 04:22:17 PM Holy foda!
I was watching this guy's Beatles impressions at least a year ago, and I thought to myself "what if this guy were to do Beach Boys impressions?", but I never thought he'd actually do it! Awesome. Title: Re: \ Post by: punkinhead on March 10, 2011, 04:38:16 PM His Brian impression cracked me up...the side mouth talk, it was really good.
What's with the: "Ah geegs."? Title: Re: \ Post by: Jason on March 10, 2011, 04:42:53 PM "He's hooked up to a machine that's keeping him alive, it's called a refrigerator."
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Title: Re: \ Post by: Pretty Funky on March 10, 2011, 05:55:24 PM Head and Shoulders Shampoo?
No...Just Shoulders! :lol Title: Re: \ Post by: hypehat on March 10, 2011, 06:20:01 PM Sometimes I worry about the effect Youtube can have on a young man.
Title: Re: \ Post by: Don_Zabu on March 10, 2011, 09:25:12 PM His Brian Wilson kind of sounds like Elvis at points. XD

Title: Re: \ Post by: punkinhead on March 11, 2011, 03:21:50 AM Some care to point out to me where the funny part is, please ? good impressions and lame jokes!Title: Re: \ Post by: Andrew G. Doe on March 11, 2011, 03:36:09 AM Some care to point out to me where the funny part is, please ? good impressions and lame jokes!Lame jokes I hear (actually, the one about the fridge wasn't too lame) - where are the good impressions ? All I see is some guy with a big pillow stuffed up his shirt twisting his face and talking like a mentally handicapped person, and the same guy with a dead badger stuck to his chin. Title: Re: \ Post by: Mike's Beard on March 11, 2011, 05:15:00 AM I thought the Mike was a bit lame but he nailed quite a few of Brian's mannerisms. My favourite one was when Brian's playing piano, then stops so he can move his arms and hands around, yet the music keeps going.
Check out the guy's Monkees impression, now that really had me in stitches!! Title: Re: \ Post by: CosmicDancer on March 11, 2011, 05:35:57 AM Some care to point out to me where the funny part is, please ? I'm with you. I've never thought Riks was funny or particularly good with his impressions. Title: Re: Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on March 11, 2011, 07:19:14 AM Those are impressions? I thought that was real!! Then the cocaine finally wore out.
Title: Re: \ Post by: Menace Wilson on March 11, 2011, 07:31:18 AM "Aw geez"
Why did his Mike impression sound like the car salesman in Fargo? Title: Re: \ Post by: Mike's Beard on March 11, 2011, 10:02:00 AM Some care to point out to me where the funny part is, please ? I'm with you. I've never thought Riks was funny or particularly good with his impressions. He does a great Marc Bolan, CosmicDancer. "Aw geez" Why did his Mike impression sound like the car salesman in Fargo? Made me think of Richie Cunningham from "Happy Days". Title: Re: \ Post by: Emdeeh on March 11, 2011, 10:33:52 AM I like his version of the Beatles' performing "Sail On Sailor" much better.

Right, explains why I found it... embarrassing. Title: Re: \ Post by: Bill M on March 11, 2011, 01:36:06 PM Yeah, sorry, but this guy just isn't doing it for me.
Title: Re: \ Post by: Pretty Funky on March 11, 2011, 01:59:04 PM Some care to point out to me where the funny part is, please ? good impressions and lame jokes!Lame impressions and good jokes! Different strokes.... Title: Re: \ Post by: Awesoman on March 11, 2011, 03:31:57 PM Wow, tough crowd. Admittingly it might take watching his videos a few times to appreciate Riks' humor. But with a little more open-mindedness I'm pretty sure most people here could come to enjoy what he does. Stevie Riks does a killer David Bowie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fr3rDQQ-9E&feature=channel_video_title), all three Bee Gees (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY7zyjwb_yU&feature=related) and of course, the Beatles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP7lNrLuaX8&feature=channel_video_title). And his Jeff Lynne is a riot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=impSkBKssW8&feature=channel_video_title). There is nothing embarassing about what he does. Give him a chance.
Title: Re: \ Post by: Andrew G. Doe on March 11, 2011, 03:43:47 PM OK, gave 'em all a try.
Bowie - rubbish, and embarrassing rubbish. Bee Gees - passable Lennon & McCartney - more like Stardust & Gallager Jeff Lynne - see Bowie Title: Re: \ Post by: rab2591 on March 11, 2011, 03:53:57 PM I find his humor to be tasteless...watching someone make fun of a 68 year old recovered-drug-addict/mental-illness-prone musical legend isn't my cup of tea.
When it comes to impressions, I tune into Frank Caliendo's stuff....hilarious guy. Title: Re: \ Post by: Pretty Funky on March 11, 2011, 06:58:24 PM Brian may like a good impression.
His 'Hold My Nose' take-off of Mike is a classic IMO. ;D Title: Re: \ Post by: TheLazenby on March 11, 2011, 08:01:55 PM Oooh, stop the world, someone spoofed how Brian acts. ::)
I thought his Brian was an *okay* impression (his appearance in the 'Fifth Beatle' video is better).... does make you wonder what a Peter Serafinowicz version of Brian would be like. (I personally think Peter's Beatles, especially Paul, are a great deal better than Stevie's.) Title: Re: \ Post by: Andrew G. Doe on March 12, 2011, 12:37:40 AM Got no problem with anyone being spoofed/caricatured, but I do have a problem when it's done so very piss-poorly.
Title: Re: \ Post by: TonyW on March 12, 2011, 01:42:40 AM Post deleted .... way too off the pace!
Title: Re: \ Post by: Mike's Beard on March 12, 2011, 07:09:43 AM Anyone else notice the timeline is out of whack? We get a 68 year old Brian and an early 1970's era Mike?
Title: Re: \ Post by: Aegir on June 02, 2012, 12:30:32 AM I don't really like this guy either. I think his Beatles impressions are really dumb. the Brian voice is alright and Mike isn't like Mike at all. the refrigerator line was funny but nothing else was. what was with that song at the end? this guy is so overrated.
