The real Kurkjian deserves credit for just having fun while Dillard absolutely nailed him in the impression. I cackled several times.

That's one of the funnier things I've seen in a long time.

That made my day. He nailed Kurk.

[GormanHarvey]

That is just good stuff. Still laughing! Kurkjian was a great sport

[trwi7]

The whole thing was great but the best part to me was the end when he said "This is Tim Kurkjian - ESPN." That was so spot on it was ridiculous.

[1992casey]

The best part was the material and the fact that Tim D. had it down pat. It made the imitation that much better.

[pitchleague]

unfortunately, that is now the third different team that has had a player do an impersonation on camera of Kurkjian. This is almost like an inside joke.

 

Is it funny? Sure. But if everybody is doing it, it becomes less funny.

[pretendastronaut]

It'll become less funny eventually, but for now, it's still pretty funny. Elliot Johnson's is spectacular. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IExTQXBOqsE

The great thing about this one is he just kept going. The other guys broke up laughing after 30 seconds or so. And that Kelly Gruber reference was amazing.

[Nottso]

Fun stuff for sure. I'm waiting for somebody to do video of Jabba The Kruck.

[RobDeer 45]

I saw that from twitter yesterday and just lost it. I mean I can't believe all the material he had. I agree, his ability to go that far with out losing it was amazing. Still making me laugh today.

Who did the third one?

It's one thing to be able to sound like someone else's voice. It's another thing entirely to clinically send up a guy, complete with his verbal patterns, squeaks, & the types of stat nuggets he uses. Even something as simple as clearing his throat -- because the timing was killer -- got a huge laugh. I don't know exactly why, but 'the throat clear' had me laughing as hard as anything else.

 

Dillard has a gift for impressions. To be honest, I thought the Harry Caray shtick was his calling card, & I got kinda tired of it. I was guilty of assuming this dude had no range... how wrong I was!

[craigharmann]

That....was......one of the most awesomest things I have ever seen. Just for THAT reason alone, Tim Dillard deserves a spot in the bullpen. He seems to be a good guy, and a definite help to keep the clubhouse loose. I hope he pitches well in spring to earn a spot on the team.

[Warning Track Power]

Tim Dillard always reminds of Bill Hader from SNL. Don't know what it is but every time I see Dilliard I think of him as the cop from Superbad.

[GoudaBrew]

Who did the third one?

 

I think J.P Arencibia's does TJ's voice the best.

[Glennron]

To be honest I thought Arencibia's was too exaggerated. It was still funny, but I still think Dillard's was much funnier. It was like Dillard had it scripted, his improvisation was great and it just kept going.

Is it a Harry Carey impersonation or an impersonation of Will Farrel doing a Harry Carey impersonation?

Yeah, you kinda hit the nail on the head as to why I wasn't in love with it. To be fair, though, almost every HK impression in the post-Will-Ferrell-HK-impression-era seems to be based on Ferrell's

True and to be honest I wouldn't even know what a non-Will Farrel Harry Carey impressions would even look like.

[JackNicholson1974]

The guy from the Rays is by far the best.

[dlk9s]

Arencibia's is the best when it comes to dead-on accuracy and the Bautista big-ears thing was pure gold (plus the way he pronounced BAU-tista). Dillard's awesomeness came from the exaggeration. The voice itself wasn't nearly as good as Arencibia, but the exaggerated voice cracks, the throat clear, the Corey Hart bit, they were all amazing.

[1992casey]

Did Dillard redo his hair to look like Kurkjian's?

[hawing]

 

Every time I see another Kurkjian impression, I think of this Brady Bunch gold from back in the day.
