View Full Version : Name some famous people you imitated as a kid
GARFIELDKOOL 05-20-2007, 06:30 PM The Junkyard Dog. The former pro wrestler. When he hit the ring with his "Another One Bites the Dust" theme, I got up for that. I use to clap my knees the same way he did. I also tried to talk like him.
Incedible Hulk. I loved the Hulk. I use to play superheroes with neighborhood kids. I wanted to get beat up so I could "turn" into the Hulk. LOL
He-Man. I actually thought I was He-Man. The cartoon was so hot in the mid-80s, I would grab a stick and pretend that was my sword. He-Man was joint.
Ireneparalegal 05-20-2007, 06:53 PM The Bionic Woman (YEAH!!!!! SHE RULED!!!!)
Wonder Woman (see a pattern here with the females Kool) :lol:
Mighty Isis (Saturday Morning stuff...you may not be old enough to know her)
Catwoman from the old 1960's Batman & Robin Show. My 2 Cousins played the duo and my brother always liked to play the joker. We had some great times doing this.

My neice who is two years younger than me had the Wonder Woman underoos back in the day. She use to imitate Wonder Woman as well.
MonarC 05-20-2007, 09:34 PM Diana Ross :lol:
My mom had this big curly black afro wig and I would put it on with some high heels and sing. :lol:
catlover79 05-20-2007, 10:30 PM Debbie Gibson - I was about 9 or 10 when she was popular. I wanted to BE her. :lol: Also, I wanted to be Jem, the cartoon character. I made my own star earrings like hers out of paper and taped them to my ears. :lol: I thought if I touched the earrings with my finger, I too would be a gorgeous, much admired rock singer. :rofl:
consentida 05-20-2007, 10:35 PM Selena and Bette Midler. :heart:
Ireneparalegal 05-20-2007, 10:36 PM I also lip-synched to Donna Summer songs. :rofl:
freshprinceofLA 05-21-2007, 01:47 AM well i stil try to Michael Jordan every time I play basketball even though I'm not close.
Long ago in the 4th grade I used to imitate a few wrestlers like stone cold, bret hart and the rock you know a typical little kid.
Number 9 Dream 05-21-2007, 08:39 AM Madonna :lol:
Georgia's on my Mind 05-21-2007, 10:50 AM paula abdul
Brian 05-21-2007, 01:09 PM Steve Urkel comes to mind immediately. I loved watching Family Matters when it was on TGIF. When I learned that the actor who played him, Jaleel White, had the same birthday as me I imitated him non-stop. I think the line I said the most was, "Did I do that?" It's very difficult for me to imitate him now, since my voice has long since changed.

Nighthawk76 05-21-2007, 09:31 PM Al Pacino
MonarC 05-21-2007, 09:33 PM Oh yeah I remember I would stuff a pillow under my shirt and act like I was Dolly Parton. :lol:
Max Whittaker 05-21-2007, 10:27 PM Steve Irwin. That man was always my hero.
TripperFan 05-22-2007, 12:34 PM You'll have to be over 40 to recognize this name I'm sure:
Crazy Guggunheim from the Jackie Gleason Show. I would have been around 6 or so and my dad would put his hat on me and I'd do that character. I'm sure it was a horrible impersonation, but my parents got a big laugh out of it and made me do it whenever they had friends over.
GARFIELDKOOL 05-22-2007, 07:31 PM lol...did you have that grrrrrrr!! down?
Not really, but I did rip some of my t-shirts trying to "pop out of my clothes" and got in trouble with my mother. LOL
catlover79 05-22-2007, 07:34 PM Not really, but I did rip some of my t-shirts trying to "pop out of my clothes" and got in trouble with my mother. LOL

oh yea; I remember that guy! I remember once, when I was about 5 or 6 my father took me and my brothers and sister to see him in person.
In fact; he also a couple tapes of him singing. He's always liked his voice.
The guys real name is Frank Fontaine.
ABlairican Pie 05-23-2007, 08:18 AM When I was 7, I began imitating the voice of Paul Lynde, since his voice was on all my favorite cartoons, such as "The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop", and other shows. He was the voice of the villain "The Hooded Claw".
:lol:
Steve M. 05-23-2007, 10:36 AM Humphrey Bogart
Steve Martin
Frank Nelson (Jack Benny's "OOOH, YES!" man)

Do you realize that if you had no one to play with and you played this make-believe game by yourself, playing and voicing all the characters, and if your parents had seen all of this, you'd have ended up in therapy? :eek:
