History Main / ElvisImpersonator

* ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'': The Pompadour line of enemies (Pompadork, Rockabillian, Johnny Gale and The Twister) are all based on greasers, with the last one being an Elvis impresonator sporting the classic white, fringed Nehru jumpsuit.

* During a 2001 episode of Raw in Memphis, Wrestling/{{Edge}} and Wrestling/{{Christian}} came to the ring as "Fat Elvis" and "Really Fat Elvis".

Wiki/TheOtherWiki lists three types of Elvis impersonators -- look-alikes, sound-alikes, and combinations -- who tend to be either professionals, amateurs, JustForFun types, or those who do their routines for {{comedy}} and/or {{parody}}. They also state that the earliest known Elvis impersonator was a Canadian teenager who started making stage appearances in 1956.

* One of these, named Chikara, appeared in a {{Filler}} episode of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''. (The one where a princess named Fuku gained some weight out of binge-eating and needed Ino, her once IdenticalStranger, to pose as her on the day she was supposed to meet her fiance for the first time.) Turns out this particular Elvis-wannabe is actually a prince... and a ChubbyChaser.

* One of the {{Nice Hat}}s you can now get in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' is "The Hound Dog"--it turns [[TheBigGuy the Heavy]] into an Elvis impersonator.

* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' is Elvis in looks (except for the hair color) and mannerisms ([[CasanovaWannabe though quite a bit less successful with the ladies]]). In fact, Johnny Bravo originated as an Elvis impersonator in animated short ''Mess O'Blues'' by creator Van Partible, where he had dark hair and wore his white jumpsuit.

* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' is Elvis in looks (except for the hair color) and mannerisms ([[CasanovaWannabe though quite a bit less successful with the ladies]]).

** In "The King and I", Eminem claims he and Elvis are bound together like prisoners, and concludes, "yeah, I stole Black music".

* Music/{{Eminem}} has a particular kinship with Music/ElvisPresley, as another great white artist innovating in a Black genre who inspired mass moral panic, and occasionally - as his VillainProtagonist alter-ego, Slim Shady - self-declares himself to be the second coming of him (or a star even greater). He reinforces this by dressing as Elvis in his music videos a couple of times - in "We Made You" he [[OtherCommonMusicVideoConcepts recreates the dance routine]] from ''Film/JailhouseRock''. (In the Making Of video, he can also be seen singing in-character as a slightly pitchy Elvis, delivering a [[VulgarHumor foul-mouthed]], [[QueerPeopleAreFunny gay-themed]] version of "Jailhouse Rock". [[RedundantParody Not that the original song wasn't already obscene gay-themed shock comedy]] aimed at winding up MoralGuardians.)

* The short lived Canadian series ''TakingTheFalls'' had an episode that strongly implied that the real (but not dead) Elvis was hiding out at a convention of Elvis impersonators.

* One segment of the film ''Aria'' has an Elvis impersonator lip-synching Verdi's "La donna è mobile", from the opera ''Rigoletto''.

* ''Guns, Girls and Gambling'' stars Creator/ChristianSlater as a down-on-his-luck man who enters and loses an Elvis impersonation contest in a NativeAmericanCasino. A priceless native artifact is subsequently stolen from said casino by one of the other contestants, setting the plot in motion.

* No big shocker that the pilot episode of ''Memphis Beat'' was '''crawling''' with these, to the point of being a visual RunningGag.

* Maxi from the VideoGame/SoulSeries dresses similarly to Elvis, but is otherwise a BruceLeeClone. Naturally, one of this {{fan nickname}}s is ''Nunchaku Elvis''.

* The Welsh singer ''Music/{{Shakin’ Stevens}}'' starred in a theatre production of a musical based around the life of Elvis Presley before his solo career took off in the early 1980s. He released a highly successful string of hit singles, some of which were sung in a similar rockabilly style to Presley, leading people to assume him to be an Elvis impersonator; comparisons between the two singers are still drawn to this day. Some interviews, however, have suggested that Stevens does not necessarily appreciate the comparisons.

* [[SmartGuy Emil Hamilton]] of all people turns into one during a WhatDidIDoLastNight plotline involving magically-spiked champagne on ''Series/{{Smallville}}''. [[HiddenDepths Seriously.]]

* ''Series/TigerKing'': Downplayed by Curtis Hill, the Attorney General of Indiana who pursued charges against Tim Stark to shut down his zoo. He doesn't put on a flashy costume, but he proudly demonstrates his ability to do a mean impression of the King.

* The 2007 shovelware game ''Rock 'n' Roll Adventures'' has you play as one named Elviz. He uses his guitar to fight, swinging it at enemies and strumming sonic waves. He also says "Uh huh huh, thankyewverymuch", but only in the tutorial; he's silent otherwise.
