00:00If I know anything about Alan Carr, I think he's a little bit like me.
00:03He's a very big Michael Jackson fan.
00:05Ha ha ha!
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:08And today, we're counting down our picks for the most hilarious celebrity impressions
00:12Drag Race UK queens delivered during the Snatch Game.
00:15Well, I just thought I'd ignore the game and just try and cover my own back.
00:18Ooh!
00:19So, all tea, no collusion.
00:22Number 10.
00:23Charity as Nadine Coyle as Mary Poppins.
00:26Nadine, we just, I've gotta mention,
00:28I love the new look.
00:30Music isn't going so well,
00:33so I thought I would break into the world of acting.
00:37And just before this, I had an audition
00:40for a brand new musical.
00:43After discovering that she and Lil had prepared the same character for Snatch Game,
00:47Charity lived up to her Miss Congeniality title and graciously switched gears.
00:51Who's to say you can't do Nadine Coyle as Mary Poppins?
00:56That kind of absurdity really works on the Snatch Game.
01:01With a little nudge from Mama Roo,
01:02she made the mind-boggling choice of portraying Irish singer Nadine Coyle auditioning as Mary Poppins.
01:08Shara fully embraced the absurdity,
01:10while doing her best to remind the audience at every turn that this was not Mary Poppins,
01:14but actually Nadine Coyle.
01:16Hello, everyone, it's me, Mary Poppins.
01:18It's not actually, it's Nadine Coyle, but you know what I mean.
01:21Her responses were sharp, hilarious, and seamlessly balanced both personas without ever getting muddled.
01:26This was a gamble that could have crashed spectacularly,
01:30but Shara reminded us why risks are sometimes worth it.
01:57Robin Williams' Mrs. Doubtfire is one of the most iconic drag portrayals in movie history,
02:03so it was only a matter of time before the character showed up on the Snatch Game.
02:07While most queens meticulously prepare and come armed with well-rehearsed answers,
02:12Tamara Thomas threw everything at the wall, hoping something would stick.
02:27And plenty did.
02:29She delivered a rapid-fire stream of laugh-out-loud expressions,
02:32and every response out of her mouth was in a new and increasingly ridiculous accent.
02:37As if that wasn't enough, she pulled out a prop that cranked up the comedy several notches.
02:52Though she didn't quite clinch the top spot,
02:54Tamara's natural wit won her well-deserved praise from the judges.
03:13The beauty of picking an ancient character for Snatch Game is that you have free reign to portray them as wild as you want.
03:19Cheddar Gorgeous did just that with her bonkers take on Queen Elizabeth I.
03:23Or should we say The Thirst?
03:33Decked out in red curly hair, a ruffled gown, and teeth that looked like they'd seen better centuries,
03:38and Cheddar reimagined the Virgin Queen as both chaste and sexually experienced.
03:43No one was safe from her acerbic tongue.
03:45Not Rue, not Michelle, and definitely not her unlucky cousin Mary Queen of Scots.
03:53Unsurprisingly, Cheddar snatched the win.
03:56After all, who dares cross the queen known for her notoriously short fuse?
04:08Number 7. Ginger Johnson as Dame Barbara Cartland
04:24To win Snatch Game, you have to play entirely for an audience of one, RuPaul.
04:30Ginger Johnson knew this well when she chose to portray the prolific romance novelist Dame Barbara Cartland
04:35purely to win favor with the host, and it worked.
04:38So I think Alan likes his tea and his men loose.
04:42Loose! Loose as a handmaid's clack.
04:47Well, unfortunately, that's not a match for her.
04:50But that doesn't mean she didn't also come fully prepared.
04:53Ginger had the characterization down to a T, from her wacky accent to the outrageous makeup
04:58and that gloriously gaudy hat.
05:00I'm actually writing my newest novel right now. What's it called?
05:04Well, it's all about how a chaste young woman falls in love with the bell ringer at the local church.
05:10It's called Love Under the Parsons' Dong.
05:16Her quips had everyone in stitches, and she wasted no time reigniting her feud
05:21with fellow romance queen Jackie Collins.
05:23Yes, they were a little loose, so she twiddled their knobs until they stood to attention.
05:28I see. I think that sounds like a Jackie Collins answer to me.
05:34How dare you? Jackie and I aren't even on the same planet, really.
05:38This performance earned Ginger her third consecutive challenge win
05:42and was the perfect setup for her ultimately clinching the crown.
05:48I want to ask you, what is your favorite dish?
05:52My goodness, I've got so many recipes. Dirty Rice is in my new book.
05:58Series 3 runner-up Ella Vidae originally had a different character in mind for the Snatch Game,
06:02but a quick chat with RuPaul in the workroom changed everything.
06:05She switched to celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, and we could not be more thankful that she did.
06:10Ella fully embodied Lawson's signature quirks,
06:13delivering off-the-cuff zingers with a perfectly-timed wry smile.
06:17She nailed Lawson's iconic mispronunciations,
06:20turning microwave to microwave, and even mangling RuPaul's name for extra laughs.
06:25Michelle Visage's new fragrance is called Blank for She Who Is.
06:29Microwave.
06:33Because there is not a lot I cannot fit in my oven.
06:36Her wit didn't just shine in her own answer.
06:39She also volleyed brilliantly with her fellow contestants and the celebrity guests.
06:43It's lovely to see you. I don't know where you're from or what you do, but it's gorgeous.
06:48It was a calm, confident, and captivating performance that solidified Ella Vidae as the queen to beat.
06:55Number 5. Kyran Thrax as Elvis Presley
07:06Choosing the king of rock and roll for Snatch Game comes with sky-high expectations,
07:10but eventual series 6 winner Kyran Thrax certainly rose to the challenge.
07:14Kyran nailed every single detail of her Elvis Presley impression,
07:18from the look, to the voice, and even to his hypnotic hip swing.
07:25Guess who's back in the house?
07:27Here's click, clack, and a bow.
07:28The five best women and stars in the world.
07:33But she didn't forget the comedy.
07:35Kyran delivered punchlines that landed,
07:37but also physical bits like biting off her card because her response made her hungry.
07:41She made for the perfect comedic partner, too,
07:43as she bounced off Lavoie in a way that made their season-long playful rivalry shine.
07:48I said, Liza's Cottage Pop.
07:50Because it is the easiest way out, I know.
07:53One whiff of that and I was dead on a toilet within one hour.
07:56It's not like we needed this performance to confirm that Kyran was a star,
07:59but it sure gave us a solid reminder.
08:02Number 4. Bimini as Katie Price
08:04Gemma was actually banging on my dressing room door earlier on.
08:07Really?
08:08I let her out eventually.
08:12In series 2 of Drag Race UK,
08:14Bimini returned from the COVID lockdown break
08:16with a fire lit under her perfectly padded behind.
08:19She made that abundantly clear with her Snatch Game impression of Katie Price.
08:23Rocking a pink tracksuit and matching tiara as only the Pricey would,
08:26Bimini kicked off with a bang,
08:28dropping perhaps the most quotable line in Drag Race UK history.
08:32You know what they say, Wu?
08:33What is that?
08:34The nipples are the eyes of the face.
08:39And you've got gorgeous nipples.
08:42What made this performance particularly brilliant
08:44was how she took real-life moments from Price's life
08:47and hilariously flipped them on their heads.
08:49She joked about her implants getting held at gunpoint in South Africa
08:53and that she caught her horse cheating again.
08:55As you know, Wu,
08:56you might have heard in the press,
08:59I've had a hectic year.
09:01My implants got held at gunpoint in South Africa.
09:04Did they?
09:05I walked in the stables and caught my horse cheating on me again.
09:09Even Katie Price herself gave Bimini the ultimate seal of approval.
09:13Number 3. Lavoie as Liza Minnelli
09:16Hi, Ray.
09:18It's Ru.
09:19Oh, it's Ru with an U, not Ray with an A?
09:22That's correct.
09:23Because Ray with an A would go...
09:25We've seen many Liza Minnelli impressions on Snatch Game.
09:28And while two queens who previously tackled her have snatched the win,
09:31Lavoie took things to a whole new level.
09:34Alright, not a match, unfortunately.
09:36Maybe next time.
09:37Maybe this time.
09:38Maybe this time.
09:39Maybe this time.
09:40That was a hit for me.
09:41She didn't just catch every joke that came her way.
09:45She grabbed it, twisted it into something even funnier,
09:48and left everyone roaring with laughter.
09:50But I went with magic munchkin.
09:54Yes!
09:55Magic munchkin.
09:56Do you consider the munchkins your brothers and sisters?
09:59I don't see why that's any of your business.
10:02Her responses were hilarious all on their own,
10:04but that didn't stop her from adding some backstory for extra flair.
10:07Lavoie worked the room like a pro, riffing off other queens,
10:11most notably her best Judy, Kyren Thrax.
10:13She even had props to sell the full comedic fantasy.
10:16This truly was a testament to Lavoie's charm, experience, and polished wit.
10:21Do it quicker!
10:22Oh, God!
10:23Oh!
10:24Oh, no!
10:25Oh, God, my leg!
10:26Oh, thanks.
10:27I'll put that in a museum.
10:32Maggie Thatcher!
10:35Right.
10:36Oh, boy!
10:37Funk, you'll funk, you'll bring on Brexit.
10:40Snatch Game is less about nailing a perfect celebrity impression
10:44and more about cracking RuPaul up.
10:46Bag of Chips understood the assignment with her take on Margaret Thatcher.
10:49Like the ship, she likes to go down.
10:51Oh!
10:54Oh, my God!
11:00Oh, my goodness!
11:01Sporting glowing red eyes, fanged teeth, and a perpetually horrified expression,
11:06Bagot didn't just deliver a stellar performance.
11:09She served up a scathing political satire of the Iron Lady.
11:12Her jokes were sharp, timely,
11:14and teetered right up to the line without ever crossing it.
11:17Fortunately, The Vivienne brought her own controversial political figure to the panel
11:21and the two sparred like diplomats in a comedic war of words.
11:24This woman's an inspiration.
11:26She really is.
11:27If anyone knew how f***ed up a country it was her.
11:30I love you, too, but please keep those orange cheesy balls away from my face.
11:36Bagot later proved she wasn't a flash in the pan
11:39as her Kathy Bates impression secured her another Snatch Game win
11:42on the UK vs. the World series.
11:44I'm your number one fan.
11:47Are you really?
11:48Well, I wanna know this.
11:49Who's your favorite author?
11:50You, Paul.
11:51Sit on my face.
11:53Before we unveil our top pick,
11:55here are some honorable mentions.
11:57Kate Bush as Kate Bush
11:59contained layers of references to Kate Bush
12:01and celebrity guest Alexandra Burke.
12:03I was in America on a writing retreat
12:05and I heard this gorgeous metaphor
12:07and I thought,
12:08no one in England knows this metaphor.
12:11So I'm gonna be the first one to bring it over here
12:14and introduce it to the UK.
12:16Dakota Schiffer as Pete Burns
12:18had us aching with laughter
12:20to the point of nausea.
12:21It's all Michelle's vogue routine
12:23it was insincere to the point of nausea.
12:28Wouldn't piss on her, she'd burst into flames.
12:32Jombers Blonde as Saint Patty
12:33This last-minute character change
12:35proved to be a winner for Jombers.
12:37And I said,
12:38rub,
12:39cause he rubs his balls
12:40to get the luck of the Irish.
12:42When he rubbed his balls
12:44I always see them get lucky.
12:46Cheryl as Gemma Collins
12:47Who better to take on the Queen of Essex
12:49than the city's finest, Cheryl?
12:51Gemma, a wig on a puppy?
12:53Isn't that hilarious?
12:54Well, that's Essex.
12:55Girls love a big hair
12:56and I work with quite a few bitches on towers
12:58so I'm familiar with them.
13:00But you know what?
13:01I actually pride myself
13:02like I'm mega confident, yeah
13:04cause I know I've got a designer vagina.
13:06Tace as Jane Turner
13:08Only Tace could have the cheek,
13:10the nerve, the audacity
13:11and the gumption to pull this off.
13:12So do you like to look for
13:13a real chucky man?
13:15A real chook?
13:16Isn't it a chook a chicken?
13:18Excuse me Ray,
13:19you talking about my chucky neck?
13:20Yeah,
13:21do I look chucky?
13:22Ray,
13:23do I look chucky to you?
13:24No, I don't mean to insult you.

13:42Number 1
13:43The Vivian as Donald Trump
13:45The only thing that was wrong with it
13:47it smelled a bit like Mexican food.
13:51So I had to build a wall right around it
13:53and let me tell you something else
13:55it was a big wall,
13:56huge.
13:57While Bag of Chips threw accuracy
13:59out the window,
14:00The Vivian snatched it up
14:01with both hands.
14:02The Liverpool Queen
14:03didn't just impersonate
14:04US President Donald Trump,
14:05she became him.
14:07Vivian nailed Trump's distinctive voice,
14:09wild hand gestures
14:11and of course,
14:12the orange tan.
14:24It's no news
14:25that Donald Trump
14:26is an easy target
14:27but parodying him
14:28with such finesse
14:29while weaving in infamous moments
14:30like his inauguration crowd size
14:32and his alleged pee tape
14:33was simply chef's kiss.
14:41Three million people
14:42here watching me today.
14:43As earlier mentioned,
14:45she found the perfect partner
14:46in Bag of Chips'
14:47Margaret Thatcher
14:48volleying back
14:49absurd responses
14:50at her with ease.
14:51This wasn't just
14:52an impression
14:53it was a master class
14:54in snatch game excellence.
14:55Setting a bar so high
14:57it's still untouchable.
14:58In my experience
14:59when a man takes
15:00his toupee off
15:01to go to bed
15:02he leaves it
15:03on his bedpost.
15:05Oh, on his bedpost.
15:07You said you wouldn't
15:08tell anyone about that.
15:09Though the world
15:11the Vivian's ability
15:12to make us laugh
15:13will never be forgotten.
15:14What celebrity impression
15:15are you hoping to see
15:16in a future season
15:17of Drag Race UK?
15:18Let us know
15:19in the comments below.
15:20I am impressed.
15:21Chara is absolutely
15:22killing me.
15:23It's not actually Mary
15:24I'm still Nadine Coyle.
15:26Don't get her confused.
