History Main / ElvisImpersonator

* In the pilot episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'', June has a GenieInABottle in her backpack who is dressed like Elvis (but doesn't act like him).

* A fat Elvis Impersonator shows up in ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'''s second movie, trying to woo Bloom. Last we see him, he had just copped a feel on Bloom's butt, and is running with his pants on fire and chased by Bloom's Dragon Fury spell.
* The WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck episode "Paraducks" had a pair of robber brothers like this from when Darkwing was a kid; the elder brother and leader of the little gang had a guitar that could do a fair amount of damage. This turned out to be a case of a NotSoHarmlessVillain when the present day Darkwing's attempts to thwart their robbery let them take over St. Canard.
* In ''WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy''[='=]s Boo Haw Haw, Eddy dresses up as a zombie Elvis. He doesn't really act much like Elvis, though.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'': "And They Counted Happily Ever After" has Hacker taking over Happily-Ever-Afterville as their king, and couldn't decide on which historical king he should dress up as, so he decides to dress up as Elvis as a result of this.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' had The Hacker take over Happily-Ever-After as their king, and couldn't decide on which historical king he should dress up as, so he decides to dress up as Elvis as a result of this.

* On ''Series/{{Castle}}'', in the episode "Heartbreak Hotel", Castle, Ryan, and Esposito are in Atlantic City investigating a murder during a convention. They get kicked out by the casino manager, and Castle's plan for sneaking back in involves going full Elvis. Including Esposito as 'brown Elvis', or "Elv''ez''".

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "The Once and Future King", Gary Pitkin is a very talented Elvis impersonator who is trying to make it as a musician in his own right. He mostly performs for disinterested audiences in seedy hotel lounges and is extremely reluctant to take his act to UsefulNotes/LasVegas as it killed the real Music/ElvisPresley. [[spoiler:He is eventually sent back in time to July 3, 1954 and [[YouWillBeBeethoven takes Elvis' place]] after accidentally killing him.]] [[labelnote:Possibly inspired by]] Creator/MichaelMoorcock's short story, later novel, ''Behold the Man'' - although that was not about Elvis, but Jesus![[/labelnote]]

A subtrope of this appears a lot in dubs of Japanese media. Because the pompadour is considered DelinquentHair and most associated with bike gangs, a lot of minor or comedic villains get that hairstyle. In the process of dubbing, they're often turned into ([[Creator/ConanOBrien nearly]]) the only thing Westerners associate with pompadours. Additionally, Elvis [[BigInJapan has always been very popular in Japan]].

* ''Series/{{Wishbone}}'': In "Mixed Breeds", Wanda finds herself getting attracted to an Elvis impersonator named "Lou Dublin", unaware that he's actually Bob Pruitt, the kids' English teacher, whom she's already seeing. Thus, Wishbone likens the situation to ''Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde''.

* [[Videogame/BattleCircuit Battle Circuit]] features the boss Johnny, who can attack with his guitar, stun the player with his notes and upon defeat, turns into Fat Elvis!

* In ''Film/{{Dudes}}'', an impersonator who goes by the name of [[JustForPun Dared Elvis]] is something of a TricksterMentor to the lead characters.

Most often can be found overseeing marriages in UsefulNotes/LasVegas, the Elvis Impersonator (a subtype of CelebrityImpersonator) usually dresses and acts like late era Music/ElvisPresley: portly, with an exaggerated pompadour hairdo, wearing a ridiculously pimped out jacket, and [[CatchPhrase fond of saying]] "thankyewverymuch".

* In Literature/TimeScout, ''Wagers of Sin'', during a discussion of the Church of Elvis, Malcolm does a fairly good rendition of "Heartbreak Hotel", finishing it with "[[CatchPhrase thankyouverymuch]]".

* Creator/IsaoSasaki began his musical career as an Elvis impersonator, thanks to his BadassBaritone voice and Elvis's aforementioned popularity in Japan.

** ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'' had an ''evil'' Elvis Impersonator… Sort of. The MonsterOfTheWeek called Radster was sort of a lobster/scorpion hybrid, but he had an Elvis-like pompadour, and spoke with the King’s distinctive accent and syntax. (It’s unlikely that his ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' equivalent was the same, but still…)

* An Elvis Presley-esque RV shows up at the Piston Cup races in Disney/Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}''.

-->-- '''Johnny Carson'''

* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}: Fortunate Son'' revolves around an unstable rock musician who has frequent hallucinations of the [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed unnamed]] "god of rock and roll" and other rock legends. When he travels to Las Vegas, he's disgusted by the many "god" impersonators he sees, viewing "the god" himself as having chosen money and fame over music, and consequently begins repressing his hallucinations. [[spoiler:Some of those "hallucinations" turn out to be real impersonators hired by the villain, a record producer who wanted a new rock legend to supersede "the god" in order to make money - and because he was "the god"'s twin brother, who had been adopted by another family and publicly thought to have been stillborn, and felt trapped in his famous brother's shadow.]]
