So is Serafinowicz making fun of Trump using the stereotype of a gay lisp? Or is that supposed to be a different accent?
It started specifically as a Liberace voice-parody…
… and I think that’s what it remains except not as many people recognize Liberace’s speech/voice stylings these days as “Liberace” per se so the vids get labeled with random ‘funny voice’ labels.
Of course now it seems silly, but Liberace had that speaking voice while claiming to be straight and having women swoon over him back in ‘the day’ - and LIberace is (was) a celebrity that people impersonated because he was iconic and unique and a character (but not because he was secretly gay).
So, while what P.S. is doing is not merely a ‘stereotypical gay voice’ here, I think such confusion could be understood these days.
But is specifically ‘LIberace-based’.
The first vid Serafinowicz did like this is labeled '‘Liberace Trump’
