An Impersonation Paradox is a noted curiosity in doing impressions. It basically states that the more often a person attempts to imitate a celebrity, character, etc., the worse he will be at it, and the less a person tends to attempt it, the better he will be at it. This might be explained by the fact that one who can do the imitation perfectly will be satisfied in knowing that he can, and won't need to attempt it at every chance. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This is directly related to Flanderization and Character Exaggeration. If someone has Flanderized his mental picture of the celeb, then the actual celeb, untouched by Adaptation Decay, will no longer match the mental picture. This is also a huge problem for people writing Real-Person Fic. Compare Your Costume Needs Work, in which the real thing is mistaken for a fake. Also see Bad Impressionists. |

Jon Stewart doing an impression of anything will usually be followed by his apologizing for how terrible the impression was. "Oh, Bush impression. I'll miss you most of all." |
