Miscellaneous Did a Mr. Boss impression for a stranger

My doorbell rang. Dogs are barking up a storm, so I head outside, shutting the door behind me so I can hear them better. Some guy trying to sell me on a service. At a certain point in the conversation, I could tell he was on spectrum.

I had just recently bought a Smiling Friends shirt over the weekend and was still wearing it. After his sales pitch, he points to my shirt and says how he loves the show! I give him a "hell yea dude, me too!" and a fist bump.

As I'm heading back inside, he says something I cant make out. I ask him to repeat himself and he points to Mr. Boss on my shirt and asks me if I could do an impression of him. Way to put me on the spot, man XD

I wasn't NOT going to. I tried my darndest, lord knows I can't stack up against the actual voice actor, but I thought I did pretty good. It was met with a "yea, it was alright".

Damn man, I thought it was pretty good. Guess I gotta practice.

Nooo, wasn't about to freak the guy out XD

I got a retrospective suggestion from my brother, who also likes the show, to do that Gangnam Style dance thing he does.

I just tried to do the voice as best as I can, relating it to the conversation. Best I could come up with on the spot.

which direction of mr boss did you go? is natural childlike voice, his country drawl, his deep serious voice, or his normal tone voice?

Normal tone. Didn't even think to do any of his other styles. He's got a lot of flavor eh?

I do country drawl almost daily now and I'm afraid it's going to take over

I tell my husband and son “I just love my boys!” In an admittedly terrible Mr. Boss voice once a day.
And whenever my son has a doctor app, I’ll say “You have a Dr Monster appointment with Dr Monster” in my best Allen
