Haley Joel Osment's Impression Of JD Vance Trying To Buy A Donut Is Hilariously Spot On

The actor made a cameo on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as the vice presidential nominee trying to buy donuts—and he knocked it out of the park.

Every now and then, an actor does an impression of someone famous so good it makes you wonder how you never noticed all their weird idiosyncrasies before.

Count legendary actor Haley Joel Osment among those with this kind of unparalleled knack for impressions, because his take on vice presidential candidate Senator JD Vance is hilariously spot on.


For a bit for Jimmy Kimmel Live, Osment did a hilarious parody of Vance trying to do the one thing that always seems to allude him—act like a normal person.

And Osment's recreation of Vance's now notorious debacle in which he attempted to buy a donut has the internet screaming.

The totally normal JD Vance CAN order a donut! 🍩🤔

Vance's donut-shop photo op has now become legendary for how hard it flopped—especially when the worker helping him asked not to be on camera and mostly refused to return any of Vance's awkward attempts at winning her over.

It was immediately painted as prime evidence that for all his "hillbilly" background, Vance's time at Yale and in Washington DC surrounded by some of the most rich and powerful politicians on Earth has drastically eroded his ability to understand even the rudiments of looking like the common man.

And right from the jump, Osment nailed Vance's extremely awkward and robotic bearing. Festooned with Vance's signature eyeliner, Osment hit all his marks, from Vance's speech patterns to his transparent attempts at pandering to normies.

The laughs start off with Osment-as-Vance forgetting how to even say the word donut, rendering it something like "door-nut," before going into a donut shop and being quite possibly the most awkward customer in history.

First he flails his hands around not knowing what to do with them. Then after regaining his composure, he asks the clerk for one of "whatever makes sense" and then requests that she "hold the pickles" from whatever donut that might be.

It of course devolves from there in a perfectly Vancian way before uttering something that, while absurd, feels eerily plausible for Vance:

"I smell pregnant woman."

As you might guess, the internet has lost its collective mind at what is indisputably Osment's finest performance.






Osment has been a busy actor in recent years, appearing in shows like Megamind Rules! and Young Jedi Adventures. But with a Vance impression this good, he may find himself being enlisted into the likes of SNL if people on the internet have anything to say about it—several said he is THE choice to play Vance in sketches.

We can dream!

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
