If you close your eyes and just listen to these Hunter Davis Youtube videos, you would swear it was Sir Ian Mckellen himself rapping you the lyrics to the TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The cadences and inflections of Davis's impersonation are spot on and it makes for some hilarious results.
Hunter Davis is a Los Angeles actor whose specialty is mimicking the voices of famous thespians, but it's his TV theme song parodies that are getting him major attention on YouTube. Some of the themes he covers, aside from the one seen here, include Saved by the Bell, Ducktales, Popeye the Sailor and Back to the Future. Sure, these videos are simple and only feature him singing in funny voices to the camera, but it's already garnered Davis 1.6 million total views, so I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds these parodies funny.
