I've been a total fan of Dana Carvey forever. He is such a great impersonator, he can do two people at once. One of his old-time acts was combining Johnny Carson, a white midwesterner, with Arsenio Hall, a black hipster, into one character. It was howlingly funny to audiences at the time who saw both late-night hosts frequently.

One of my favorite bits was the song "Chopping Broccoli", a spoof of pretentious hipster musicians and their ludicrous lyrics. I first saw it when he performed it on SNL with a crowd of actors, including Sigourney Weaver and Phil Hartmann, playing the part of other hipsters at a party, marveling at these profound lyrics: "She bought some broccoli, she brought it home, she's choppin' broccoli!"

I sing Choppin’ Broccoli while I’m cutting up brassica oleracea for my salads!
