Anyone else think Frank Caliendo isn't very funny?

Post by CCdrums »

I don't know about you, but this comedian Frank Caliendo does all of these impersonations and commercials and I gotta tell ya, I think he sucks. He's fat and has a fat round face so he doesn't really look like the people he's trying to impersonate, plus he's just not very funny IMO. The only guy he does a decent job with is John Madden and that's because Madden is fat and has a fat round face. Other than that, I don't really care for him at all. He does President Bush, William Shatner and Jerry Seinfeld and when I saw him trying to impersonate them, it took me the whole skit until I realized who he was supposed to be. Anyone else or am I all alone on this one? Just bugs me I guess......

Agreed. His show is a suckfest. I got tired of the Trump impression after he did it in the first two episodes in a row. Ugh.

His Dish Network commercials make me wanna hurl, too.

The first time I heard his Madden impression, I thought it was great. I tried to watch his show, and couldn't make it through a whole episode.

his show, and those commercials aren't funny, but if you watch his standup comedy, it's pretty good. His Robin Williams impersonation is top notch, not to mention his john madden.

I agree with this. Did see a Comedy Central special not too long ago and I laughed. It did not translate to the show, however. It's kinda like when the Brady Bunch tried to do a variety show.

This!^^^^^

I really don't like any comedians who do impressions for the same reason.
A few impressions are spot-on while most are mediocre at best. That includes Dana Carvey.

I think the whole "I don't really look like any of these people. I'm just a fat guy dressed like these people." is part of the joke. However bad that joke may be.

The only time he is funny is on Mike and Mike. He is good at sports personalities, like Jim Rome, Madden, and Charles Barkley.

I thought he was funny when I saw him impersonate Bush the first time I saw him, then the more I saw him the more sick of him I got, it seems to me IMO he has the same 6 impersonations that get old quick.

i always thought his standup was pretty funny. i've never seen his show, but i don't see how his act would translate very well... kinda like carlos mencia... but then again, all carlos ever did was steal other comedians' jokes...

Not funny. Neither is Jeff Dunham. Not that anybody asked about him.
