DH loved it when I did Pat Benatar's Love Is a Battlefield shimmy, and Debbie Harry's rap as she's shuffling down the street in Rapture. I also do a great Lulu singing To Sir with Love.
Don't know if they are good or not but in Improv, I did Robert Osborne, Rashel Diaz, and Allstate's Mala Suerte (Alberto Mateo).
My "best", though, is probably Frank E. Vandiver. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Vandiver
I don't actually play him, however. What I do is mimic him for one approach or another.
At the end of the semester where we had to present our research, my partner had a nervous breakdown two hours or so before class. So I am sitting there, barely listening to others as I figure out how to approach the presentation. When I got up there, I pictured that I was Frank doing a presentation on Stonewall Jackson (had attended that a few years before) and used that as the "framework" to guide me through the presentation.
IE, it went something like this: "Good evening, Eric wasn't feeling well tonight, so he asked me to present both sides of our research. I handled the engineering and he handled the economics. Now, if you have ever read Dilbert, you know the hazards of letting engineers handle economics, so be patient with me, please." Pause of a few seconds and then, "You know, gasahol production has changed massively since I worked on a test project in the early 80's. Then,........."
Two things. First of all, I did that acting about a year before I started taking theater classes. Secondly, playing Frank is a blast!
I haven't done most of these in years so they might be a little rusty.

I think the only impression I'm decent at is Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
