How Donald Sizemore’s Donald Duck Impression Turned a Nuisance Call into a Viral Sensation
Like many of us, Donald Sizemore has a bone to pick with telemarketers. Those persistent calls often come at the most inconvenient times, disrupting our day-to-day activities with offers we rarely find interesting. However, instead of simply hanging up or responding curtly, Donald decided to turn the tables in a way that brought joy to millions.
Recently, Donald received one of those all-too-familiar calls from a telemarketer. Rather than grumble or end the call abruptly, he seized the opportunity to have a bit of fun. Channeling his inner Donald Duck, he launched into an impression that left the telemarketer bewildered.
“Hewhoah? Hewwwwhoooooah, are you dhere?” Donald quacked into the phone, perfectly mimicking the beloved Disney character. On the other end, the telemarketer, unaware of the prank, began to deliver their scripted message. Donald, not missing a beat, responded with, “Ohhhh, doah, am I in tawubble?”
The confusion and amusement were palpable as the telemarketer struggled to maintain their composure. Eventually, realizing something was amiss, they hung up, ending the call but not the laughter.
What made this moment even more special was that Donald’s wife, Gayle Sizemore, recorded the entire exchange. Recognizing the hilarity and charm of the situation, she shared the video on Facebook. Gayle — who was serenaded with a ducky rendition of “I Love You Truly” on her 50th wedding anniversary — said she had no intention of creating a viral sensation.
“Oh my goodness no,” she told WJLA Sunday. “I posted it on my [private] Facebook and both of my daughters called me dying laughing, begging me to make it public so they could share it on their Facebook. They never dreamed of this either. They just wanted to share their funny dad with their friends.”
The internet did the rest. In just two weeks, the video went viral, amassing over 9 million views. People from all over the world found joy in Donald’s playful spirit and impeccable impersonation.
This wasn’t the first time Donald’s Donald Duck impression had left a memorable mark. At 77 years old, he had perfected this act long ago. In fact, it was part of his charm on his very first date with Gayle. His ability to bring a smile to others, even in the simplest of ways, has always been a part of his character.
In an age where telemarketing calls are a universal nuisance, Donald Sizemore’s creative response is a reminder of the power of humor. His playful trick not only diffused an annoying situation but also spread joy to millions, proving once again that laughter is indeed the best medicine.
So, the next time you find yourself irritated by an unexpected call, think of Donald and his quacking impression. Maybe a little humor is just what the moment needs.
