Somewhat. . . hard to describe, but here's a video that pits "Alan Rickman" and "Ian Mckellen" against one another in their roles as melodramatic villains:

That's pretty funny.

That's not a fanvid, though, is it? I thought it's just a regular television program. (Hee! Brian Blessed!)

That's no fan video, that's one of our most popular comedy skit shows!

Ah, I was misinformed, and will correct.

Yes, it's very funny.

There are loads more like that on YouTube, just run a search on Dead Ringers. I suspect you'd like the Bush and Blair ones.
