These are Benedict Cumberbatch's best impressions.
Oh, stay there. I'm enjoying this. Introduce Buddy Tyler. Right.
It's time for music.
There you go.
So you can just do Jack Nicholson if I said that name at the drop of a hat.
I mean, maybe I could.
Where is the Batman?
Not a lot of people know that.
But, don't bloody blink.
After that Graham Norton impression broke the internet,
Graham himself couldn't resist bringing it up the very next time he was back on the show.
The last time you did me and you were very good, you did my laugh very well.
That wasn't me.
One of Benedict's most recognizable tools as an actor is his voice.
That deep low frequency has opened many doors,
Rolling down the street smoking in dough,
sipping on gin and juice,
laid back.
Hard to beat.
With my money on my mind.
Apparently you would do a very good Alan Rickman.
I did do an Alan Rickman.
Could we trouble you for a little of your Rickman?
What would you like me to say to you?
Alan Rickman.
Uh, do I need to see it? Can't wait.
Years in the Avengers didn't just build chemistry.
Benedict Cumberbatch walked away with a perfect Mark Ruffalo impression.
How about Mark Ruffalo taking the bins out?
I don't know, because this looks like recycling to me,
but maybe, is that where the food goes?
I don't know, there's too many bins.
We all know Hugh Grant for his flustered, sarcastic British delivery.
But there's one man who knows it better than anyone else.
Gosh, in the words of Flippity Chibbit,
what can I say, it's raining, I'd noticed, you're wet.
One thing's for sure, Benedict Cumberbatch does not shy away
from impersonating talk show hosts.
If you plan on pulling his strings,
it might come with some consequences.
I'm not poking you to make you perform it.
I'll do a little bit of you though.
Roger, Wabbit, Wam-Wam, Witchman, Common, Waggedly.
Was that terrible?
It was terrible, and also, even with that impediment,
I still can't get a special parking dispensation,
which is a shame.
Sean Connery.
It's a very good film, I think he'll be phenomenal.
I'm very excited to see what young Benedict does.
Kevin Spacey himself is quite the impressionist.
But what happens when somebody decides to flip the script?
Are you Kevin Spacey?
I don't know, what Kevin do you want?
Do you want the Kevin from 7, 7-Eleven Kevin?
Or do you want, now is the winter of our discontent,
make glorious summer by this son of York.
I want to see the imitation game, don't you?
A key takeaway from a talented actor like Cumberbatch
is witnessing impressions you don't often see elsewhere,
like Tom Holland.
Tom Holland, did you do your Spider-Man?
Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, I could do a bit of,
I mean, a little bit, I mean, you know.
But, um, you know, there's Tom,
like, you know, there's the new Tom,
which is all that, you know,
it's like, yeah, I've just worked with Mark Wahlberg,
so **** it, yeah.
Hi, guys, hi, yeah, it's Tom,
I'm really excited to be here.
Tom, can you take that?
No, I can't, because otherwise I'll omit secrets,
so, um, yeah, they'll close me down
with this bit of foil.
As an actor who was born in London,
Benedict Cumberbatch is in a league of his own
when impersonating British actors.
Tom Hiddleston?
Yeah, yeah, I think you've got to go
and see the imitation game, it's going to be great.
I've done him many times before, I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of it.
Harry Potter.
Oh, uh, Rickman.
Yeah, Tom Hiddleston ordering
a Big Mac at McDonald's.
Hi, yeah, um, I'd like to have
your Big Mac, please.
And some fries.
And a shake, too.
And some chicken nuggets.
And while you're at it, can I have a quarter pound of cheese?
And a fillet of fish, if they still do those.
Thanks.
He may be good at impersonating
British celebrities, but his impressions
go beyond the UK.
Such as with one of his favourite voices
to impersonate, Jack Nicholson.
Why can't we all
see the imitation game?
Willy Wonka, you remember that scene at the end?
Ha ha ha!
You get nothing! You lose!
Good day, sir!
Well, I don't know that I...
Can you do an impression
of Donald Trump,
whoever that is,
at a grocery store?
And that is the correct
answer.
You were doing Chewbacca during the clip.
In time with the Chewbacca thing.
Natural knee jerk.
That's one of my favourite Chewbacca moments.
There are things you don't know you're missing
until they happen.
Watching Benedict Cumberbatch strut like Beyonce
is one of them.
And Miranda Hart deserves full credit
for making it happen.
Let's get the music going again.
Watch it.
It's time to go.
Good master.
Evil master.
He's a bad one.
It went off.
That was wonderful.
You did an incredible Chewbacca.
But I'm told you also do a
Jar Jar Binks.
Oh, no.
The dragon is back.
He is.
Finished business.
I read that as a voice.
Do you want me to do that as well?
If you can.
So, Miranda.
Is your heart beating
faster
or slower
Hello, I'm Tom.
I've just been cast to do Spiderman.
I was like, wow.
Wow, congratulations. That's amazing.
I bet you can do a good Chewbacca.
Oh, Jar Jar Binks. That's what I saw you do.
Jar Jar Binks.
I thought I was gone from culture
back again.
On an episode with Capital Breakfast,
Benedict Cumberbatch came face to face
with a man who claimed
he was turning into him more and more
every day. It's safe to say
the whole room was shook
by the resemblance.
Can we just buzz you in, please? Can you come in?
Can we come in? Oh, no.
That's not me. That's my character.
He actually does look quite a lot like me.
People have said that.
This is really weird to watch.
I do have to say, I'm loving it,
but it's very strange to watch
Benedict talk to Peter.
Yeah.
Did you know you looked like Benedict
and then you wanted to do the thing?
No, not at all. I never thought I looked like him.
And then someone stopped me on, I think it was Millennium Bridge,
years ago, and said,
excuse me, are you Benedict Cumberbatch?
Yes, I am.
Robert? Yeah, sure.
Robert? Why not?
Why are you laughing? What's so funny?
Oh, yeah, my face.
Oh, well, you know, it's interesting.
I don't know.
Iron Man? Yeah.
When hosted on talk shows,
we often see Benedict Cumberbatch
doing the voice of Michael Caine and Alan Rickman.
But on A Night Out,
it's his inner Michael Jackson who he's channeling.
