When we see that a comedian has a pretty decent impression of a total scumbag, we’d like to hope they take that scum down a peg or two. It’s ever so satisfying. We grab the pop corn and settle in for the cutting satirization, and we’re either treated to a hilariously eye-opening take on the douchery, or a watered down, surface level joke about the mark’s hair style, like there's nothing else to talk about.
Parody and satire seem pretty similar. They both have a target, but where parody is a jab at a person’s faults or quirks, satire is an indirect gutting that exposes the monster within. Both are great. There are some top notch parodies here, but for complete psychos like Jeffrey Epstein and Vladimir Putin, we wanted blood! Blood, baby! When it comes to satirizing modern wrongdoers, those and 13 others compile a solid mix of nibbles and toothy gouges.
Brad Garrett impersonates Bill Cosby - Biting

On Sirius XM's Sway in the Morning, he pulled out a solid I put the roofie in the Jello. BITING CRACKED](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/8/3/883283.jpg)
Johnny Depp as Donald Trump - Toothless
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters Johnny Depp has the worst DONALD TRUMP impression. Sad. For some reason, Funny or Die made a 51-minute movie with Depp as Donald Trump. The makeup is great, but there's zero satire, and Depp's impression is just god-awful. TOOTHLESS CRACKED](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/8/4/883284.jpg)

'SNL' on Jeffrey Epstein - Biting
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters JEFFREY EPSTEIN went to hell on SNL. Adam Driver's portrayal of Epstein has some bite, but the writing picked low-hanging fruit with lines like I'm just hanging, and To me, the devil is a woman my own age.

'Entourage' features a caricature of Harvey Weinstein - Toothless
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters Entourage indirectly impersonated HARVEY WEINSTEIN. The ill-tempered Harvey Weingard is a clear take on Weinsten, but his temper is used for comedic effect. Weinstein's sexual deviancy was said to be an open book, but the show shied away from all that. TOOTHLESS CRACKED](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/8/0/883280.jpg)

Chris Redd impersonates Will Smith on SNL - Biting
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters SNL's take on WILL SMITH slaps! Chris Redd does an okay Will Smith, but the Seat Filler sketch as a whole perfectly satirized the Oscar slap with Jerrod Carmichael's shocked expressions speaking for all of us.

Alec Baldwin impersonating Donald Trump - Biting
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters It's okay that Alec Baldwin's TRUMP isn't spot on. Baldwin knows his take on Trump isn't great authenticity-wise, but it was meant to be an exaggerated skewering. Не drew a ton of hate from the GOP, and won an Emmy for it in 2017. BITING CRACKED](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/7/7/883277.jpg)

Cecily Strong & Chloe Fineman take on Marjorie Taylor Greene & Lauren Boebert - Biting
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters SNL takes aim at gun nuts. Brandishing AK-47s, Cecily Strong and Chloe Fineman (as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert) declare that getting saved from the COVID vaccine is communism, and go pro gun with the line, Guns don't kill people... People people people. BITING CRACKED](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/8/1/883281.jpg)

Beck Bennett as Vladimir Putin - Toothless
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters SNL Beck Bennett is a shirtless VLADIMIR PUTIN. The standout quality in Bennett's Putin impression is that he's shirtless, and countless Trump and Putin as lovers were tiresome and actually pretty homophobic.

Dave Chappelle on R. Kelly - Biting
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters Chappelle used R. KELLY's own song against him. Chappelle's parody song, Piss on You, dove into R. Kelly's misconduct head on, and opened our eyes to Kelly's troubling lyrics about underage girls in his actual songs. BITING CRACKED](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/7/9/883279.jpg)

Margaret Cho as Kim Jong-Il - Toothless
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters 30 Rock Margaret Cho was hilarious (but harmless) as KIM JONG-IL. Cho said she couldn't study his voice or mannerisms, since there's barely any video of the Supreme Leader. Her very funny take mostly says how great things are in North Korea.

Jason Sudeikis as a male Ellen - Toothless
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters Jason Sudeikis plays Mellen SNL chose not to jab at ELLEN's misconduct. One year after 36 former staffers spoke out about Ellen's racial insensitivity, sexual harassment, and bullying, SNL played it safe. We were hoping for a more biting take.

Darrel Hammond as Donald Trump - Toothless
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters SNL TRUMP actually liked Darrel Hammond's impression. Lambasting Alec Baldwin, Trump tweeted, Bring back Darrel Hammond, funnier and a far greater talent, which is a clear sign that Hammond could've had more bite.

Aidy Bryant as Ted Cruz - Biting
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters SNL Aidy Bryant nailed TED CRUZ. On Trump calling Cruz's wife ugly, Bryant said, I mean, I think she's beautiful but since Trump is the boss... Sorry honey, ya busted! It's a great jab at Cruz's sniveling loyalty. BITING CRACKED](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/0/2/7/884027.jpg)

Cecily Strong as Melania Trump - Toothless
![SATIRIZATIONS of modern monsters SNL MELANIA TRUMP approves of Cecily Strong's Impression. Strong just does a standard Eastern European accent, and there's never much bite. Trump even told her that Melania really likes the impression. TOOTHLESS CRACKED](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/7/5/883275.jpg)
