Charlie Hopkinson is a comedic impressionist, impersonator, voice guy, whatever you want to call it who specialises in voices from current television shows and films. His standup is a character act about a retired maths teacher, his standup set includes impressions of Sir David Attenborough, Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Peaky Blinders, Tommy and Arthur Shelby and Gandalf from Lord of the Rings.
Always looking to update my roster I look to try out subscriber suggested impressions in the impressions challenge series before honing the best ones. Recently I have added Peaky Blinders and Marvel / Avengers characters to my arsenal!
I currently run a number of series including:
Impression Reels - The very best impressions I can do, Including LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Cartoons .etc
Impression Challenges - Trying out new impressions in a less polished form.
Impression Dramatic song covers - Voices of Reason.
Low Budget Animation - Stickman sketch remakes of Iconic Tv shows and movies.
How to do Impressions - An audience lead tutorial series where I attempt to pass on my Impressions knowledge.
Dubs - Comedic dubs of iconic scenes with new dialogue, (My Peaky Blinders and Lord of The Rings dubs have grossed over 6 million views on Facebook)
Standup - Clips from Standup sets I have performed over the last year.
Comedy Sketches - Comedy Sketches
I started learning impressions in 2012, at the age of 20. You can follow my full impressions journey in my new ‘How to do impressions’ tutorial series
After graduating from the University of Warwick in the summer 2013 he took 4 months out to concentrate on CZcams videos full time, including producing his most viewed video to date ‘Morgan Freeman and 40 other impressions’ with just over 12 million views. This foray into being a ‘full time CZcamsr’ was cut short as he went travelling for 3 months before starting a 2 year teaching Graduate scheme with Charity ‘Teach First’.
While teaching he has performed in and narrated the 4 episode series ‘Lookalikes’ as Morgan Freeman. The show and the narration received a positive reception. The show aired on Channel 4 during the prime time slot of Friday 10pm for three weeks. It is now currently available on Netflix. Charlie also performed with other well known impressionists for an unaired pilot.
Charlie has worked for several prominent brands in relation to their products, including google and formula 1.
Since the summer of 2016 Charlie has once again dived into the world of CZcams, for the first time producing content on a weekly basis. He is also focusing on live performance; he has performed in live venues a total of 3 times to date.
His top impressions include:
Morgan Freeman (Red -Shawshank redemption)
Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf - Lord of the Rings)
Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman - Breaking Bad)
Alan Rickman (Snape - Harry Potter)
Michael Caine (Alfred - Batman)
Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)
Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Carribean)
Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglorious bastards)
Alec Guiness (Ben Kenobi - Star Wars)
Agent Smith (The Matrix)
Sean Bean (Boromir - Lord of the Rings)
Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield - The Hobbit)
Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister - Game of Thrones)
Tyrion Lannister (Game of Thrones)
Bryan Cranston (Walter White - Breaking Bad)
Frank Underwood (House of Cards)
Tommy Shelby (Peaky Blinders) - Zábava
What next?
Genius, this should be on Tv. Thank you, in this time of woke programing your efforts bring me more joy than i deserve.
please do the Jackson LOTR movies. we love the characters here.. and its 2 years until Amazon airs the 2nd season of Rings, if they ever do :P
Let's try the original trilogy
Star Trek: Picard
Wonderful stuff Charlie. Interested to know what you actually think of the series. I thought it was ok but it could have been so much better.
How does Boromir not notice that Sauron simply walks into Mordor?
He clearly teleported there hahaha.
He just got off the 3rd bus
I know right
Why doesn’t this comment have more likes??
It’s Genius. Wish I could like it a thousand times. 👏🏆
@@kristenlandon796 right?! People be lazy. Didn’t make this far down.
The PowerPoint wipe of Halbrand to Sauron was hilarious.
Made me spit out my tea!
Single best gag in this entire wonderful run.
That was the biggest 'fuck you' to Amazon I've ever seen.
So many of the jokes are not actual roasts, but this? This was {chef's kiss} bellisimo!
Was about to comment the same thing I was almost in tears 😭😂😂
Congratulations to Sean Bean for making it to the end without dying.
Lmao!!! Oh, but wait. It's only the 1st Season...
He’s dead inside
You clearly didn't see the extended ending only on patreon when at the very end, baby saruman cast a spell killing him.😉😉
He's not in this. Charlie Vickers was Halbrand/Sauron.
@@Scar-Predator😂
Elrond's confusion at Boromir declaring pirates have taken Numenor had me ROLLING
I laughed so hard at that
I was freakin ded
They're taking the pirates to Numenor!
Best moment, hands down.
Underrated moment
“Cleverer than an owl with a master’s degree.” I died …
I was looking for this comment! I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard!
But is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning?
“‘You’re right, it doesn’t fee/‘
‘What, the Ow/’
‘What? No. I’ve just lost a lot of respect for Galadriel’” the timing of them interrupting each other cracked me up
You've got to do something else with these characters. Can't go 2 years without them.
You're a genius.
Original trilogy commentary next
@@matthewroberts2285 Seriously, the original trilogy and the hobbit trilogy too.
Well we can get them ROAST the OT and the prequels... I mean, LotR and Hobbit trillogies. Maybe even the various other LotR adaptations other that the PJ one.
He does with House of Dragon. Even has Gandalf roasting it with Tyrion and of course there's Ned's head. It has to be Ned's head and not Boromir.
perhaps try other characters with whats becoming popular
Boromir's trembling voice gets me every single time
My favourite part of it all is the constant trembling in Boromir's voice.
He is easily the best.
Either that or Elrond portraying to be Tyrion Lannister
Poor thing sounds like he’s on the verge of tears lmao
"Everyone got baggage. I think she should go for it!"
I am dead.
Looks to me like they've got a well-matched set of baggage...
It's a match made in Hollywood!
@@nyetzdyec3391 Gold 🏆
Galadriel threatened Adar that she would torture and kill his orc babies and when she meets Halbrand she tells him "whatever evil you have done, be free of it" but when she finds out he is Sauron, she tells him he is too evil to be saved ("no penance could ever erase the evil you have done"). Unfortunately, Galadriel didn't realize Sauron was the perfect guy for her. Boromir is right, she should have went for it. She even quotes what Sauron said to her years later to Frodo, seems like she had some regrets. Moral of the story is don't pass on hot bad boys.
Hilarious😂😂
The Boromir impression always makes me laugh, great work.
He's constantly breathless and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. 10/10
"What's he doing with that horse.." is barely a question and that makes it gold
the foggiest
also, the rendering of the Sean Bean face is always a little off, which adds to the hilarity. Same for his Eddard Stark on the mannequin head. There must be something going on with Sean Bean's deep fake lol.
"Gandalf... stop tensing man."
My goodness, thank Gandalf for editing the Halbrand reveal, I wouldn't understand it was actually Sauron without it
We need that text wipe 😂
Wait! Are you telling me that Halbrand is Sauron?
I died laughing at that part
@@squidprince2456 we never got the PowerPoint slideshow effect text reveal to tell us so it's up to debate wether or not Halbrand is Sauron, it could still be the meteor man, if you think about it what kind of good person says "I'm good"? Only a baddie would do that!!!!
@@Carlos-ui5dx Interesting! Indeed he could mean: "I'm good.... in doing evil things!"
This is honestly the best thing to come out of this whole Amazon situation. These episodes are so well put together, thanks for your hard work!
I'm laughing so hard it's actually hurting my hernia. 😂
This is much more entertaining than the actual show.
@@oxyman10 I know right! Cheers Jeff for forking out the big money so that talented creators can make things like this!
@@oxyman10 Indeed, shows how crap the show's producers are when a youtube video mocking it is so much better
@@oxyman10 Not a high bar, but yeah.
“I’ve just lost a lot of respect for Galadriel’s spoken word poetry.” made me laugh out loud.
for me, "I glued some of his ass hair in this book.."
😂😂😂 I love how they pressured Boromir to say 'It is a gift." F@cking brilliant!
Apparently Galadriel, who is a 3422 year old brave elven warrior, is too embarrassed about being gaslit by Sauron who wanted to date her all along, so she's just not going to do anything, tell anyone, not chase him down. Idk, maybe in this show she still has a thing for him! Lol 😂😂🤣
Exactly🤣🤣🤣
Do you think Elrond will be able to know that he's Sauron from that?
I thought for sure Boromir would have noticed that Halbrand simply walked into Mordor 😂
Dannnggg good catch
Such a missed opportunity
"How did he get there so fast!?" "One does not simply walk into Mordor"
It's the focus of the entire next episode
One can not simply walk into Mordor!!
Sauron: hold my beer....😂
“What’s he doing to that horse?!” I laughed so hard I spat out my coffee! 😂
I nearly spat out me herbal tea ....
Rings was a tragedy. Your spoofs were exquisite. Made Amazon’s blunder actually a net positive. I’d say they owe you a billion or so.
He almost got me to watch the show, he probably succeeded in getting others to actually do it. So yeah Amazon probably does owe him some money.
(Or at least a free Prime Membership so he can keep his kidney)
Give a billion to actually talented Tolkien fans and imagine what they could do...
lol. get bent.
lol Boromir always sounds like he's on the verge of a breakdown 🤣
Boromir's voice is constantly balancing on the edge of turning hysterical.
The writing for this parody show is 10 times better than the writing for a billion dollar franchise.
It really is, isn't it.
Just to be clear..without hyperbole…this writing is so much better than that of the actual series that it’s embarrassing they claim to have wasted 3/4 million. Charlie comes in and creates something that is universally loved. Just brilliant
This is not even a joke, it is like they can just riff a better dialogue on the spot than the show.
Billion dollar show and it's pretty clear about $3 went to the script writers lol
Please tell me the billion dollars is just a joke?
Your versions of Gandalf, Boromir, and Elrond have such a great chemistry, I already feel invested in them like if they were full time sitcom characters. You should, like, make a full time sitcom with them.
Except for the fact that elrond is a baby with the face of hugo weaving
@@zacglover3345 For Baby Elrond they could age him little by little like that one kid from Two and a Half Men.
Oh wait, I just realized it kind of does look like Two and a Half Men already 😂
@@okami-chan9772 Lord of the Rings: Two and a half towers
if only they were actually mocking the show lol
And he could do a spin off, with Frodo and Gollum opening a 7-11 or something.
I love Boromir in these videos. That bit where he was like… oh no, pirates! Took me out
I could NOT stop laughing when Gandalf went full Dark Knight on us🤣
The final song being the rings poem to the gollum song is hilariously accurate
So many callbacks it's just painful. Haha
And lazy lol
@@joshjones6072 All those stolen lines made me cringe. You can't just steal some lines of text n expect it to be great. A bit like Star Wars 7 was just a lazy half assed copy of episode 4.
That song made me cringe more than the Sauron reveal🤣
Gandalf impersonating Bale had me rolling
It's actually Gandalf impersonating Badman, from college humor, who was impersonating Bale. I'll try to find the clip.
czcams.com/video/01vWvocMc6M/video.html
It's about 10 seconds in
@@CNNBlackmailSupport pete holmes I believe
@@lilgenius yep
Totally! Loved the Batman reference!🥰
I love how accurate Saruman is; constantly petty and jealous of Gandalf.
Which is accurate to his character actually.
@@sgtpaloogoo2811... which is exactly what Christian said above 🙄
That gandalf murmur of 'the second age' at 11:53, and the forced Bromir 'it is a gift' is legendary. Absolute quality sketch!
Literally shows how good of an impressionist he actually is! Straight from the movies of Gandalf reading about the rings.
Boromir still clinging on to false hope with his "it's sauron" at 6:03 kills me.
I didn't feel the old man was Sauron he looks more like a wizard.
Anticipated this more than the actual finale lol
I agree.....I couldn't wait for his newest vid on this!
100%
Your Gandalf/Ian Mckellen impression is 100% accurate, I thought it actually was him! Amazing!!
These roasts have better writing than the entire season. Bravo.
Halbrand: "It is a gift."
Boromir: *thinking* Goooddammnit
please keep the Gandalf roasts going... absolutely epic!
id watch him roast a leg of lamb and love it! lmao
Take your legolas, add a sprinkling of eregion, and roast in the fires of mount doom for 1 hour.
Yes Gandalfs home cooking series to tide us over till next season
@@tompark5047 you see even this demonstrates that there are more intelligent interesting writers on CZcams than the half wits who got to write this pile of steaming horse shit…lovely stuff Tom…had me chuckling hours after I read it…our Sunday Lamb roast will now forever be named Legolas 😂😂
Sadly if things continue the way with the cost of living the Lamb may well be replaced by fried Locust..but we will remember your wit mate…each individual Locust will be known as Legolas
Elrond saying a bunch of nonsense in that wise and serious voice and tone is just too funny. xD
“Didn’t recognize him when he’s not got his work clothes on” 😂
He absolutely kills me 😂😂
"Clever than an owl with a masters degree " 🤣🤣 "I thought Sauron was a big Metal Man" 🤣
Don't know how you can stomach this series, but Gandalf doing the Batman Voice and Boromir the Michael Caine was certainly worth the price of admission.
Don’t know about The Rings of Power but this series of CZcams vids is pretty great!!
I think it’s terrible. Can’t watch, but I’m loving these!!!
I think it’s terrible. Can’t watch, but I’m loving these!!!
Loved that bit. Impersonation inception! Amazing!!!
Oh man, that Halbrand Sauron transition got me LMAO 🤣
"Go on" "say it properly" for some reason I laughed unbelievably hard at that.
It's how excited gandalf looked 😂
A little spooning and a little forking and boom you have a magic ring.
This is the most entertaining review on CZcams.
"I had a poster of you in me room when I was a kid" - Boromir is the quickest xD
Judging from Celebrimbor's reaction to meeting Sauron for the first time, we can assume he too had a poster of his idol (Sauron) in his room when he was a kid.
Let’s all take a moment to applaud Saruman’s fluffy polka dot robe!
I'll miss these a whole lot more than I'll miss the actual show.
Those rings look like ring pops from the 90s.
"It's a lollypop, without a stick...a ring of power you can lick!"
haha I lost it when Boromir said "pirates"... sadly that's exactly what I thought
Probably an origin story for the Corsairs of Umbar.
the Halbran to Sauron at the end 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 absolutely hilarious
You were closer to the mark with "Sauron = Santa Claus" than you think, actually.
When Sauron returns after the fall of Morgoth, he takes the form of a fair elf called Annatar.
Annatar translates to "Lord of Gifts."
“In the Fellowship, I just thought she was riffing” 😂
That Sean Bean impression is impeccable. Always.
“They’ve gone and gentrified Gandalf” 😂
"dying king mistaking his daughter for someone else" just made me laugh so hard and the way he said it.
The title change from Halbrand to Sauron bit is BRILLIANT
😂😂😂😂 i died
Ohhh so he's Sauron?
Now I get it. Didn't have the foggiest
@@mattgilbert7347 He has had many names.
Is that part of tye skit or was that Actually in the show? With how ridiculous its been I wouldn't put it past them
@@lilacblue783 It's a callback to episode 7. The show runners evidently felt that the audience needed confirmation that the burned Southlands were, in fact, Mordor.
You could be forgiven for thinking that the massive volcano would give it away, but nonetheless.
"the words 'suck it, Elrond' have neverbeenuttered here, in Imladris"
😂😂😂😂
Indeed that line cracks me me up.
This one episode has more creativity and comedy in it than an entire season of SNL.
“I don’t think I’m going to consider it cannon if Galadriel ends up banging Sauron”. 😂😂😂
It's pretty sad they made a potental Sauron-Galadriel hookup feel more exciting that what was really delivered.
Thanks for this series. Two years is a long time to wait for the next Gandalf Roasts.
Can't believe I'm now impatient for season 2 of this garbage, just because I want those Roasts. 😂
Your outfit for "Saruman of Many Colours" is even more accurate than what Tolkien described, even while being compatible to his formal title of "Saruman the White".
The more awaited season finale is finally upon us.
The amount of genius one liners in this is on another level.
LOL OMG hearing Christopher Lee say "getting your ass kicked!" nearly caused me to choke to death on coffee. Goddammit that was funny, replayed 5 times.
"I thought I deleted my internet history". Don't we all, baby Elrond, don't we all...
The gandolph drawing of the king was a work of art! 🤣
Gentrified Gandalf and Belfast Balrog had me in stitches. Please, never stop these series!
Only if the actual show was this entertaining 😭
Young Elrond is precious ❤️
baby Elrond is more precious. My precious
@@jamesgerard9330 are they both different?! I thought Baby & Young is same 😅
@@Earth_Being young infers not quite so young as to be a baby, whereas baby means newly born, like Gandalf in rings of power. If I were to say the young Sherlock Holmes, you wouldn't immediately presume the baby Sherlock Holmes.
I love your Halbrand/Sauron transition. Anyone else think they could get better rings out of a cereal box than those ones?
P0l0
"You are as powerful as a feather duster" had me ROLLING
When she started singing "three rings for" I genuinely thought it was a joke by you guys that's how bad it was.
Their biggest WTF moment this episode, and I think the biggest fuck up of the entire season is Galadriel telling nobody he's Sauron. Even in GOT, where "good guy" characters are extremely morally grey and frequently do very bad things, they wouldn't hide information about bad guys from each other. It's the literal dark lord, the one who murdered her brother, who waged war on the free peoples. He literally told you he plans on controlling all the world and the races of middle earth. He also told you that he will go back to darkness and violence if you doen't join.And yet, you refuse to tell anyone about this or warn anyone, not even that they should send a message to the Numenoreans and Dwarves that they should not let Halbrand anywhere near them and he is a enemy.You won't tell the fellow elves, who would be able to help defeat him and warn other parts and realms, not even your own king or good friend who never lied to you. This is gonna lead to due to her not telling or warning anyone:
-Southlanders welcome him back as King, and him taking control of the people and lands.
-Numenoreans not knowing he's evil so they welcome him as a ally, friend and fellow king, and so the downfall is all due to her not telling the truth.
-Mordor quickly building into a vast defended fortress and massive army, leading to thousands of years of fighting and death and decline, including the destruction of Eregion and death of Celebrimbor.
She's the official most evil person, because it's all her fault.
She chased him for years, when she had no clue where he was.
Now, he has an hours head start, and she DOESN'T persue?
Whoa whoa my guy....it's all gonna be ok. It's...it's not real. It's not Canon unless you want it to be.
@@Kyle-sr6jm Look, one second he sits in Eregion(a region where our dear Fellowship of the Ring STARTED their journey) and the next scene appears in MORDOR.
Her trying to catch such a space and time jumper like him is a futile effort :(
@@filthy8882 "it's not real" "it's an alternate universe" are the silliest cop outs to be used by viewers and writers alike to excuse the stupidity in the writing of a movie/show
@@Carlos-ui5dx TBF, I don't think the "deniers" are trying to EXCUSE anything. They are simply searching for ways to deal with the pain of it all... "copium".
3:44 That's honestly the scariest thing ever, and Elrond's reaction was perfect 🤣
These videos are by FAR the best thing about Rings of Power. Thank you brother.
Galadriel is the first woman ever to not try to change a guy, especially a bad boy.
Galadriel was the one who actually helped him return to his wicked ways. After Morgoth was defeated, Sauron was gonna live a chill life as an ordinary blacksmith but then she deluded his mind with the dream she made for him, to be king of the Southlands and encouraged him to return back to the battlefield.
@Nao Nyaru Please tell me Arwen’s not the granddaughter of Palpatine.
@Nao Nyaru oh lord, is THAT who those are?!?
The pirates bit was too good haha
Boromir's Michael Caine got me good 🤣
I need a CZcams short of the Sauron screen wipe reveal 😂
The souron part had me cackling
I'm so happy I came across this after watching critical drinker's critique. Your imitations of Gandalf and Elrond are amazing!
Gandalf's Gollum mug :D !
This is bloody awesome. I’m sitting laughing like an idiot on the train. Best “what!?”’s ever.
just follow your nose
Knew the powerpoint was coming and still laughed my ass off. 😂
Their "rings" looked abysmal. Billions of dollars, and costume jewelry is used for the great rings... Oof.
The gems look like the plastic gems that are included in some boardgames.
they look delicious when Gandalf eats them
The rings in The Fellowship of the Ring movie looks like the rings you order online and then when you receive them, they end up looking more like the rings from The Rings of Power.
@@Nopeasaurus From Wish then?
The "This is croydon" from Gandalf is the funniest thing ive seen in the last week
“They’ve only gone and gentrified Gandalf,” somehow hits so much harder when you remember that when he died, he came back as Gandalf The White… 💀
“It is a gift.” 😂😂😂
Honestly these videos have been far better than the actual series itself
Im thinking since they are done try doing Gandalf reacting to other tv shows or try Gandalf gaming until the next series comes out anyway
Bloody brilliant, loved it. Btw the slow motion horse riding observation had me giggling when I saw it, and I had to explain the joke to my friend, but it doesn’t really stand up to explanation, so I had to show it, and now you’ve got a new fan.
that chuckle after the follow your nose story is so on point XD
I didn't even bother watching the episode but this was still so entertaining.
Omg I absolutely live when you release these.... I'm always checking to see if a new one came out.... I could watch you do gabdolf for hours on end.... oh please oh please do this with other shows.... lol
These videos just keep getting more surreal and I'm here for it 😂
Boromir is hilarious . Man this is amazing lol
Thanks for the feedback,
Expect more videos very soon
Send a direct message
I have something for you 🎁🎁
It is finally here!! This has to continue in some capacity or other. Cannot wait for two years..
Thank you for your excellent work good sir
I agree all tbese characters have to review something anything for the gap yeats
I looked forward to these episodes more than the Rings of Power episodes.
Thanks Charlie it's been epic, you have saved me from many hours of tedious TV. Look forward to your next project, I hear the crown is out soon 🤣
Dude, this one is the best roast so far, i couldn't stop laughing
these roasts are something else. Please don't stop.
I've been watching your videos and roasts for the past few hours and just want to thank you. My mother passed Tuesday, I felt like hammered shit, but that changed. Your videos pulled me out of that worst feeling ever. I needed this. I subscribed and can't wait for more. You have a gift for impressions and comedy and also for working quick on deep fakes. Love it all and thanks again. Shawn from Kinsman, Ohio USA
Deep condolences for your loss, man. Been there. You don't get over it, but you do get through it. And with a little help from friends like Charlie H. and Baby Elrond, that part can be made a tiny bit less bad. Laughter, and Time, are the best medicines...
Sorry to hear that Shawn but glad it helped a bit
Holy shit, this is like the golden years of Mystery Science Theater 3000! Please do more variety of shows/films!
