graceomalletSo. There's a Shakespeare meme going around - basically, you see the meme in your friend's list, you quote Shakespeare. While I may do that meme, I do not have any Shakespeare to hand. So I present Christopher Walken doing Shakespeare. Or, more accurately, Eddie Izzard doing an impression of Michael Gaston who is doing an impression of Christopher Walken doing Shakespeare. Confused yet?
To finish up, I am going to do my latest bad impression yes sir.
Now my impressions are terribly bad, And they have been known throughout the states of China, and Well good impressionists they just do someone, and you know that’s
Steve McQueen, that’s Robert DeNiro. I tend to tell everyone who I’m going to do, to help. And to explain that it might not sound like them. This is Christopher Walken, As done by someone else. I did them, during Death of Joe Egg on Broadway. And Michael Gaston was in that, and he had done Shakespeare with Christopher Walken. I didn’t know Christopher Walken, did Shakespeare. So Michael did this impression , and I knicked this off Michael. And he knows about that, but and so Christopher Walken, Doing Iago in Othello:
“Yah, Yah, this is according to, Yah Othello, Yah, your wife, …” (doing Christopher Walken…)
“You should kill her with a pillow, …Yah, she's crazy, she’s dizzy, she drives us crazy”
Or even:
“ To BE!, Or Not to BE..Yahh, It’s a Question! , whether it is nobler, to suffer with you know slings and arrows…and shit. aha” (as Christopher Walken…)
“Now is the winter of our discontent, ..Eehhrr or summer?…or summer York or clouds…loud”
(I’m going a bit off Christopher Walken!) Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...
(doing Christopher Walken…)
“You know it’s a petty pace, it goes on, Yeah..this watch, this watch, it’s your fathers watch…its your grandfathers watch…”
(doing Christopher Walken…)
“this watch, its your birth right, uh your daddy who was shot down over Hanoi, so was I we were in a prison camp, you know, the watch, its your right, Uh no slant eye’s gonna get his hands on this watch. He wants to have the watch, he puts it the one place they cant, up his ass, he puts it up his ass, Five long years with this watch up his ass. He dies of watch in ass disease. They give me the watch, I put the watch up my ass, I get watch in ass Syndrome. The It’s a watch, you can wear it, wear it, but don’t put it up your ass, wear it on your wrist, don’t lick it!”
-Eddie Izzard, "Sexie"
off the eddie izzard: cake or death? site.
And just as an aside, when we saw Eddie in Cleveland, he did that bit punctuated with many Christopher Walken-sounding "Wow-wuh" sounds. It didn't make it to the tape and it should have, damnit.
