I've always been impressed with the many impressions Rob Brydon can do. But that voice he does for "Small man in a box" is insane. That's so impressive to even get that distant sound in his voice.

Weird thing is, after watching some Lee Evans, he also does it and was doing it in stand up in 1993 Now, I'm trying to work out who did it first because Rob and Lee Evans are about the same age.

The second I heard him do the scream "I CAN'T GET OUT!" I knew it was true. You can't just try that on the spot and know you can do it, you have to have done it before. It's actually really difficult to do! It also makes sense that when he heard Rob's 'Man in a box' he realised his wasn't as good.

What the hell is that?! Didn't know Rob could do that; that's cool.

Rob Brydon's distant voice is an incredible talent I never knew tahat skill exists

I know, to paraphrase David Mitchell: "This show plays tricks with your mind and you start thinking the opposite of what you first thought." I admit that I would have been on the Lie side of this question.

"I wonder what you're going to do"

Rob Brydon has so many talents. I admire him!

Nasality. Not much used this side of the pond. But consider the unusual way Kenneth Williams projects his voice: "nasality, Matron". He colours it with his West Country burr, but it's the same technique every American speaker uses all day, every day. If the Small Man In A Box wasn't nasal he'd be.... silent.

Must be brutal to hear from someone you looked up to be told you never tried it before Sounds like a different variant. Limited but not bad. Certainly fine for small parties.

Why would you even think that? He is prevaricating, i.e. being evasive and trying to distract or play for time. Procrastinating, apart from "cras" meaning "tomorrow" in Latin, is about delaying work one should be doing in favour of something else. He isn't delaying because of what might be perceived as lazyness, as would be the case with procrastination - he is instead delaying to wiggle out of it or give him self more time, which is virtually a textbook definition of prevarication.

@@qwe1231 Prevaricating does not imply lying, it only implies that someone is avoiding to answer a question. Curbing that and moving the show along is exactly the job of the host. Context does indeed matter and those two words both refer to delaying something but their difference lies within the reason for said delay. The reason is very obvious here and leads to 'prevaricating' being the correct word.

Some of his impressions are not thet good. Emperors clothes etc

I hope Ron meant "procrastinating". not "prevaricating" as the whole point of the show is to tell whether the contestants are doing the latter or not.

That Manford accent is grating.

How the hell does Jason manford get work? He's not a good comic, he's not funny, I don't get it?

It is a stupid one because he literally did it right there. It has to be true, unless he just did it out of nowhere and a few hours of trying has led me to believe it is actually quite hard to do.
