In a recent viral video, impressionist Jay Pharoah delivers what many are calling the best impressions they have ever seen. The video, originally posted on Reddit, showcases Pharoah's impeccable talent as he mimics a humorous scenario involving Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart splitting a bill at a restaurant.

The video begins with Pharoah effortlessly slipping into the roles of both Johnson and Hart. "Alright. Listen, here's the problem. Here's what the problem is. I'm gonna be straight honest with you. The problem is, Dwayne, I'm not splitting the check with you because I only ordered buffalo wings," Pharoah says, channeling Hart's distinctive voice and comedic timing. He continues, "That's all I had. That's all I can fit in my body, Dwayne. Look at my body. My body looks like a pedigree. Bam, bam, bam, bam."

Switching to The Rock, Pharoah deepens his voice and asserts, "Oh, come on, Jabroni. The Rock thinks this. You know, it's really serious that you pay, Kevin. You know why? You say that you're ballin'. You're supposed to be the best, the number one comedian in the world. So you know you can cover it this time. And I've got the next one. Ask the Applebee. Thank you."

The video has garnered a lot of attention, with viewers praising Pharoah's spot-on impressions. One user commented, "Jay Pharoah is a woefully underused talent. His range as an impressionist is impeccable and he's even funnier on his own." Another user noted, "That's a spot on Dwayne!" while another expressed a desire to see more of Pharoah's impressions, writing, "I'd like to see the other impressions as well."

However, not all feedback was purely positive. One viewer mentioned, "Really funny impressions, but I just wish they would crop this video some more. I can still see some of what's happening." Another pointed out issues with AI subtitles, "Those AI subtitles are horrendous. 'The rock says this' equals 'wrong business'."

Among the comments, there were also tributes to the late Stephen Boss, known as "tWitch," who was mentioned as the interviewer in the video. "Rip the interviewer Stephen Boss ('tWitch')," wrote one user, highlighting the loss felt by many.

Despite a few critiques, the overwhelming response has been one of admiration for Pharoah's talent. Some viewers compared his impressions to other well-known impressionists, with one stating, "It is pretty good, but I think Jamie Foxx's Trump may be the most accurate impression I have seen." Another mentioned, "His Chris Tucker is phenomenal."

Ultimately, the video serves as a testament to Jay Pharoah's exceptional skills as an impressionist, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating more of his work.
