00:00 You're sitting in my spot.
00:01 [LAUGHTER]
00:03 Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're
00:05 looking at Howard Wolowitz's impressions on the Big Bang
00:08 Theory and how they compare to the actual person he's
00:11 imitating.
00:12 This whole apartment is playing D&D.
00:18 [LAUGHTER]
00:20 Number nine, Stuart Bloom.
00:23 Stuart is one of the most beloved characters
00:25 on the Big Bang Theory.
00:27 But when we talk about him, we do
00:29 have to acknowledge that there are really two Stuarts.
00:31 The monster foods, they're really fun.
00:33 Oh, yes, thank you.
00:35 I like to think of fun things like that, because I'm fun.
00:39 No, we aren't talking about a Jekyll and Hyde situation,
00:42 but more of a pre-season three Stuart
00:44 and a post-season three Stuart.
00:46 Pre-season three Stuart is a talented artist
00:49 with a pretty good flirt game and actual confidence
00:52 around pretty girls.
00:53 OK, you've got my number.
00:55 Now give me the picture.
00:56 You drive a hard bargain, but here.
01:00 All right.
01:01 So just give me a call.
01:04 While post-season three Stuart is--
01:06 well, Howard's impression pretty much says it all.
01:09 And compared to the real thing, it
01:11 seems pretty darn good to us.
01:13 It's been a while since I've gone on a date.
01:17 Mind if we watch the monkeys doing it?
01:19 [LAUGHTER]
01:25 I said that to you in confidence.
01:29 Number eight, Bert the chimney sweep.
01:31 Well, call blimey.
01:33 You look like a thousand tuppence, don't he,
01:35 Mary Poppins?
01:38 Are you going to talk like that all night?
01:40 Chip Willikers, I am.
01:43 In the final Halloween episode of the series,
01:45 Howard wears two great costumes.
01:47 The first one we get into a little later on this list,
01:50 while the second one is a perfect accompaniment
01:53 to his wife's Mary Poppins outfit.
01:55 Howard is dressed as Mary's closest friend Bert,
01:58 the singing and dancing Cockney chimney sweep played
02:01 in the original 1964 film by the great Dick Van Dyke.
02:05 Step in time.
02:06 Step in time.
02:07 Step in time.
02:08 Come on, mighty, step in time.
02:12 Step in time.
02:13 And while Bernadette looks the part of Mary,
02:16 Howard puts on a great Cockney accent
02:18 and even does a little plie reminiscent of Van Dyke's
02:21 character movements and mannerisms.
02:23 He's going to get a spoonful of sugar later.
02:26 And I'm going to sweep Miss Poppins' chimney.
02:30 Number seven, Bernadette Rostenkowski.
02:33 Ask any husband if imitating your wife
02:35 is a smart thing to do, and we're pretty sure
02:38 the answer will always be no.
02:40 Stop talking about space so much.
02:43 Nobody likes it.
02:44 I don't sound like that.
02:50 Howard is a genius, but he isn't always
02:52 the smartest when it comes to women.
02:54 And so he shows off his Bernadette impression
02:57 on multiple occasions.
02:58 Plain old Howard Wolowitz is the best guy I know.
03:02 You're just saying that.
03:04 No, I'm not.
03:05 I married him on purpose.
03:09 And it's a pretty good impression at that.
03:11 He might seem like an easy one to do on the surface.
03:14 Just do a high-pitched voice.
03:16 But it isn't as easy as it sounds.
03:18 Also, while it might not be the smartest thing to do,
03:21 it sure is funny.
03:22 Oh, Harry, I don't need food as long as I can look at my phone.
03:26 [LAUGHTER]
03:28 I don't like when you imitate me.
03:30 Number six, Raj Koothrappali.
03:33 They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
03:36 So it only makes sense that Howard would
03:38 imitate his best friend Raj.
03:40 All right, hotshot, let's hear your Indian.
03:42 In fact, he does it on a couple of occasions
03:45 over the course of the series.
03:47 While both are good, it is the second time
03:49 that is the most accurate version of his little buddy.
03:52 In season one, Howard calls Lalita Gupta on Raj's behalf.
03:56 And although he does a good Indian accent,
03:58 it's a little generic and not that accurate
04:01 to how Raj actually sounds.
04:03 So anyhow, when would you like to meet?
04:07 Friday works for me.
04:09 However, it seems like he worked on it.
04:11 Because by season six, Howard has much
04:14 improved his Raj impression.
04:15 A spectral shape rises from Koothrappali's bloody corpse
04:20 and says, don't worry, buddies.
04:23 Ghost Raj will help guide you through the forest.
04:28 Number five, Nicolas Cage.
04:30 When it comes to Howard's celebrity impressions,
04:33 it's his turn as dungeon master that
04:35 brings a number of them to light for the first time.
04:38 Travel with caution.
04:42 These woods are home to the bones of many a fallen hero.
04:50 And for anyone who was hesitant about him leading the game,
04:53 including Sheldon, that hesitation
04:56 is quickly pushed aside when Howard gets things going
04:59 with an impression of Nicolas Cage.
05:01 It's a really good impression that not only captures Cage's
05:04 voice, but also his iconic ability
05:06 to go from zero to freaking intense in a matter of seconds.
05:10 The right file, according to alphabetical order.
05:15 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P.
05:21 Nick even makes another appearance later on
05:24 in the game as well.
05:25 Well, I'm just a tree.
05:26 But if I were you, I'd listen to your ghost friend.
05:31 Number four, Sheldon Cooper.
05:33 Did you do something different to your hair?
05:37 Yes.
05:39 Looking good.
05:40 During the decade of the 2010s, we all
05:42 knew someone who would throw on a Flash t-shirt
05:44 and call themselves Sheldon for Halloween.
05:47 But it takes more than just a superhero t-shirt
05:49 to be Sheldon Cooper, as Howard showed us so hysterically
05:52 on the final Halloween episode of the series.
05:55 A jury's conviction based on a constitutional or statutory
05:57 issue.
05:57 Why are you laughing?
06:04 His statement was factually correct.
06:06 The straight delivery, the robotic movements,
06:09 and the constant factoids all came together
06:12 to create the best Sheldon besides Sheldon himself.
06:15 Irritable comes from the Latin, susceptible to anger.
06:19 Just because I used a word doesn't
06:21 mean I want its etymology.
06:22 Interesting fact, etymology comes from the Greek.
06:24 You are being so annoying.
06:26 Stop it.
06:28 And although Sheldon's Howard costume was funny,
06:30 his impression didn't hold a Bunsen burner
06:33 to Howard's version of him.
06:34 Number three, Al Pacino.
06:37 And again, we find ourselves back
06:39 at that game of Dungeons and Dragons as Dungeon Master.
06:43 Howard continues to impress everyone with his impressions.
06:47 A satanic fungus that looks suspiciously like Al Pacino
06:52 rises from the forest floor.
06:54 This time, the girls have just shown up
06:56 because their trip to Vegas was canceled
06:58 after Amy elbowed a TSA agent.
07:01 And Sheldon has left it up to Howard
07:03 to decide if they can join the game or not.
07:05 To announce his decision, Howard breaks out
07:07 his Al Pacino impression.
07:09 You're out of order.
07:11 You're out of order.
07:12 The whole trial is out of order.
07:14 In an ode to the famous "you're out of order"
07:16 speech from "And Justice for All,"
07:18 he tells everyone, they're playing D&D.
07:21 You're playing D&D.
07:23 You're playing D&D.
07:25 This whole apartment is playing D&D.
07:31 It's playing D&D.
07:34 Number two, Stephen Hawking.
07:36 The first impression that Howard does on the show
07:38 is none other than the great Stephen Hawking.
07:41 And it comes in the pilot episode
07:43 when we first meet Howard.
07:45 It's a Stephen Hawking lecture from MIT in 1974.
07:49 This isn't a good time.
07:50 It's before he became a 3D computer boy.
07:55 You might say he does the impression as we're just
07:57 forming our impression of him.
07:59 Or maybe you wouldn't say that.
08:01 I would not do your Stephen Hawking
08:03 impression in front of him.
08:06 You're right.
08:07 I suppose that could be considered offensive.
08:14 The point is Howard does a very good Hawking.
08:17 And it's an impression he brings back multiple times
08:19 throughout the series.
08:20 And just in case you thought it was an easy impression
08:23 that anyone could do, maybe present Leonard's attempt at it.
08:26 He's funny, too.
08:27 He does this hysterical impersonation of Stephen Hawking
08:30 having phone sex.
08:33 What are you wearing?
08:37 That's not-- he does it better.

08:55 Number one, Christopher Walken.
08:57 You'd think after all these years,
09:01 I'd know not to fly over volcanoes.
09:04 I'm a freaking idiot.
09:10 Everyone has that one friend who thinks they can do
09:13 a Christopher Walken impression.
09:15 But usually, it isn't very good and sounds more
09:18 like Joe Rogan's terrible Walken
09:20 than Kevin Pollak's amazing one.
09:22 Oh, my.
09:25 We're out of soy milk.
09:28 This is tragic news.
09:30 However, when it comes to Howard Wolowitz,
09:32 we easily put him in Pollak territory
09:35 with his great impression of the man who
09:37 stuck a gold watch up his butt in Pulp Fiction.
09:40 So he hid it in one place he knew he could hide something.
09:43 This impression comes again during Howard's
09:45 turn as Dungeon Master.
09:47 And as with the other celeb impressions he does,
09:50 the only one more impressed than us has got to be Sheldon.
09:53 Your little boy is coming home.
09:56 Oh, I don't know about you guys, but I have been
10:02 through the emotional ringer tonight.
10:04 What do you think Howard's best impression is?
10:06 Sound off in the comments.
10:08 Then he say something first, you know,
10:11 maybe in the voice of a beloved celebrity.
10:13 Do you agree with our picks?
