Fred Armisen Does Impressions - Scottish, Texan and More! 

I’m so surprised someone asked him to do a Corpus Christi accent and he knew it

He deadass did a corpus accent

I really liked his different Scottish accents, but I LOVED the Mexican vs. Cuban accents in Spanish. Fabulous! Plus, his Spanish sounded good and was grammatically correct. Kudos, Fred!

My GOD!!!! I grew up in Houston and Fred really hit the nail on the head! I never realized we have such a lovely whisper to our accent 😍🤣😍🤣

Damn. As a Texan myself, his accents are right on. Especially Dallas and Amarillo.

Whe he said "Dallas" he sounds like every male news anchor in Dallas.

Coming from a Texas native from Dallas “this is pretty darn good”

As a Texan this is amazing and I want to hear more Texan accents:)

Fred Armisan never fails to impress. A humble yet brilliant and talented comedian.

As a Houstonian . . . he did well.

I have never heard anyone differentiate, much less nail the different Texas accents.

I can watch Fred Armisen all day

im from houston, TX and YES

My moms from Glasgow she came to the USA to South Carolina in the 70’s. So I can say the accent is pretty spot on. He did great on all the accents.

I can’t believe how accurate the Corpus Christi one was.

His Edinburgh accent is on point, but his Glaswegian really does sound like someone trying to do the accent and it comes across more Shrek-like.

Fred is awesome. A treasure.

Omg, the surfer edge to CC. I live here and he totally nailed some of the surfers I know!

I’m from Corpus Christi, TX! Wow. A rare mention.

His Latino impressions- 😲😲😲😲😲😍😍😍😍

Incredible. Even his observations on Spanish are spot on!

All these people criticizing and nitpicking and I'll bet most of them couldn't even come close to hitting the mark with these accents. The man is talented and his attempt at all these accents is impressive. Jeez, do you people realize how many accents and dialects there are in this world? Who the hell can do a spot on impression of any and all accents on request? Give a little credit and stfu.

I'm from Corpus and have lived in Austin for ages. Both were dead on.

Wow. This guy’s a freaking wizard at accents, wanna know how he does it? Can imagine him being in his room just learning each city of the world via tape recorder. Repeating each syllable en rote! I’m an actor and learn accents regularly and it’s bloody hard. 😂

He hit Texas right on!

Listen, we all know Fred is a freaking lovable genius, so this vid is just another great example.

His Australian accent is good. I’m Australian and usually with Australian impressions it’s like - Wha-a-at that sounds nothing like anyone I hear in Australia.

He must have done a really good job with Dallas, because I couldn’t even tell that he was doing an accent during that part it sounded so normal to me. He also did a good job with Amarillo- reminded me of my relatives that live out there.

I love you and your talent, Fred Armisen!!

I’m Texan and this is accurate 😂😂

After living in Massachusetts for a short time, and calling back home ( Wisconsin) First time I heard our accent, it floored me, drive back a few years later and could hear the difference between Millwaukee, Madison and La Crosse, Love the Scottish Accents

His explanation for not doing Jamaican was hilarious lol

What most people don't get about Fred is that there's a huge amount of "put on" in what he does. If he doesn't know an accent, for example, he'll just fake it, then he'll throw in a few specific details to sell it. It's all done with a wink and a nod. It's like he's saying, "I can't believe they're buying it."

WOW!!!! That is amazing.

I think he's done this cleverly, he's mastered or least has a very good grip on all the accents from regions that he could feasibly come from if you just saw a picture of him without hearing him speak. He could feasibly come from Scotland or Russia or Germany or Australia but it's amazingly hard to believe that he's native to Vietnam or Jamaica

Damn the Dallas is spot on. Sounds just like my family

I'm from Houston and I didn't really notice that we talk like that but we do 😂

He hit Corpus right on the head. Perfect.

Man this guy is amazing

He's really so good. Take a vow Fred

Literally the best

I wholeheartedly love fred going back and forth mexico and cuba

Wow that Melbourne nuance was remarkable, I live here.

Fascinating and entertaining skill.

The fact that Marc Maron even knew about corpus makes him my new favorite comedian

Southern California sounded a bit like John Wayne in the end.

Fred Armisen is easily the best impressionist and accent expert I’ve ever seen

when I first watched this years ago I didn't know who Tig or Marc were... now I'm huge fans of both and am like holy shit they're all in one video, I've got to see the whole thing!!

My mom was raised in Houston when she gets mad or says my full name she kinda whispers it and yells it at the same time lol

Master of his field. 🙏

He is amazing!!!

Amazing.

A GREAT TALENT THIS GUY

He is amazing😃

Omg he got us in Houston spot on!

Fred Armisen is wonderful!!!!

Born and raised in Dallas and have lived out west. Armisen is a fucking genius.

Wish this was video was longer, he's so good at impressions, it's fun to watch.

The dude is amazing

I'm from Houston and he was pretty accurate!!!

The Glasgow accent was defintely off, sounded more like he was from Fife. Still pretty decent attempt by American standards.

Absolutely nailed Corpus Christi.

That's pretty damn good!

Brilliant.

From Houston area all my life but traveled all over the state, and honestly it’s hard to say if he sounds correct since it sounds like an impression. You’d almost have to be an outsider who listens to a lot of Texans talk to say it sounds right. To me all his other impressions sound spot on but to people from those areas he may not. Californians will always be hilarious.

These Texas accents are impressive

I came here after doing a search for an impression of Tig Notaro. Still not disappointed. Some day maybe Kate McKinnon will do one.

Fred is a true artist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Fred😄

*TEXAS!!!!* those were all spot on omg lol!!!

Just awesome 😂🎉🎉🎉

He can't do the accents exactly, that's not the point anyway. Just like with all the characters he does, he's giving you his take from his memory on a certain idea about the way someone talks. The reason it's funny is because his take on it is skewed, just like anyone's would be. He just gets closer to real thing than most people.

Fred is a genius !

OMG! He's fantastic haha

He’s so good lmao

I can’t believe he brought up Amarillo! He’s spot on, by the way.

Houston accent is whispering because it’s so hot and humid here it’s hard to get the words out...

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. That is a small percentage of Orange County residents.

The accent in San Antonio (my hometown) is influenced a lot by the military presence there, along with the Hispanic population. So, the accent in San Antonio is almost non-existence (well, to me anyway HAHA!). My sister has a strong San Antonian accent. She says, "Thank YEW!" and I tease her about this. But it's slower rhythm wise. People here in south Texas can usually tell if you're from north Texas, West Texas, or East Texas. North Texas is, as you say, more "serious and business like". West Texas has the strong drawl, and East Texas is more "southern." But, of course, I love hearing these accents since it tells me that you pay attention to people and since I love my state, I love that you pay attention to the people here. I lived in Michigan for 18 years and noticed how the accent there seems heavily influenced by the Irish who settled there in the 1800s. The accent there is very nasal too and I tried to imitate this way of speaking. I notice, for example, that they say "hunnerds" instead of "hundreds" and "avery" instead of "every." I can always tell if someone is from Michigan.

1:46 that joel osteen accent lmao

He’s the best.

His Texas impressions are spot on. As soon as I heard each one he so right.

Omg Dallas is spot on

Veeeery good.

Fred is a genius.

bloody hell...his switch from Glasgow to Edinburgh and back again was on the f.....g nose

I'm a mexican dude from corpus christi and I dont think I've ever heard anyone in my city talk like that lol...maybe down on the bay at the T-heads lol

So clever...😃👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sydney and Melbourne are spot on

The Dallas one was on point

Excellent Spanish accents!

most Austinites dont have a southern accent though, we kinda got that modern US City accent that is common in places like California kind of like a plain american accent. the Texan comes through in our diction and lingo mainly.

Yeah Yeah Yeah. He just keeps discussing discussing discussing the accents than actually speaking them. He just does a word or two and the audience bursts into applause.

anyone else on a Fred Armisen rabbit hole?

I like how nobody in the comments gets the bit.

I'm from Houston and he just sounded like a guy who's never visited Houston.

He nailed Austin

😂 brilliant

That cuban accent thougghhh

Vietnamese is startling when they hit an "ng" and do that hard "guh" sound.
