Was he trying to impersonate Bruce Vilanch or Philip Seymour Hoffman?

I couldn’t quite figure it out. He may normally be one of the best celebrity impersonators, but I believe he completely failed this time. I am not compelled to seek out any of his specials based on this.

  The accuracy of them depends on too many factors (the examiner, questions used, format, environment, etc.) to be able to say for sure and the research isn’t entirely clear one way or the other. Also they’re using it for fun in these videos, it’s not meant to be taken too seriously.

It’s funny when he does swear because he has the reputation as someone who does not swear.

The guy asking questions need not to interrogate like that. Lol or is that how a lie detector works? Fear?

I think he lied in a way he could fake not being picked up by the machine. This is the first of these videos I’ve watched that I don’t completely buy as real.

Why are lie detectors still a thing? It’s junk science and they do way more harm than good.
