The hand gestures. This is hilarious before a word comes out of his mouth.

"Full scale orgy of death there in the sand"
I forgot how funny Carvey's GB character was

[sebastianlecourt]

"It will not be another Vietnam. Because we have learned well the simple lesson of Vietnam: stay out of Vietnam."

SNL 1990-1995 was pure gold. So many talents.

[Somegoy]

The fact that his hands never stop moving shows how smart he is. He can make everything he does funny even if it's not accompying words

[williamkoscielniak]

Dana Carvey might have been the most talented impersonator SNL ever had. I grew up on this stuff!

[blupunk]

Dava Carvey's impression will always be the best thing about the Bush I presidency.

[Peter]

I read that George H. W. Bush liked these impersonations of himself and would actually laugh at them. He had the uncommon ability to laugh at himself.

Farewell to the Chief!

[Boojkill]

Only thing missing here was "Dan Quayle...still gaining acceptance..."

[endlessmountain]

The SNL 1986-1993 run was incredible. The years leading up to 1986 were good and I wish I could say the ones post 1993. If they had half the talent they did during this great run it would still be an all-star lineup or fist loads more than all other previous all-star shows we'have had like Friends and Cheers which had a long list of great performers.

"Probably won't, but then again, I might" 29 years later...

[strangemarkings]

This is a masterclass in how to make every second of a monologue funny

[carolki]

you know bush sr was a good sport laughing along with everyone else.

[Lightning-lvbx]

Bush loved this impersonation so much he invited Dana Carvey to the White House.

[cliffordshafran]

RIP, George H.W. Bush. Of course, SNL relentlessly lampooned every president from Nixon to Trump. Bush probably had the best sense of humor over these parodies and became best buddies with Dana Carvey.

[ritz]

A wise man once said that Bush Sr looked like a mix between Mr Rogers and Ted Bundy. Cannot ever unsee this!

[nancyward]

Saw Dana about 4 years ago in Boston - still an enormous talent!

[NavyVet]

I remember my career Air Force father laughing to the point of tears at this skit.

[jeremychildrey]

Looked this up and can't believe it's been that many years since seeing this🤣🤣Still funny 😂😂
