It's the Sound...of Shatner
Checking out the news on Yahoo, I found what could possibly be the stupidest headline ever.
Shatner the inimitable, conquering new frontiers - Yahoo! News
William Shatner? Inimitable? Are you kidding me? Shatner is probably the most imitable person alive. Every office comedian and bad lounge act does a passable Shatner. Kevin Pollak has earned a respectable living for years just doing Shatner. People who haven't seen him since the original run of "Star Trek" can do him. Hell, there's probably natives in the Outback who've never crossed paths with civilization who think they can do a spot-on Shatner.
What's so inimitable? You talk, you stop, you emphasize the wrong words and you squint. Even mimes can do Shatner, all you need is a tight shirt, a lurch, and a faraway look.

Nobody grates on my nerves like Shatner.
Don't be dissin' my Denny Crane!
Ugh. Unfortunately, I was unlucky enough to have to sit through Kevin Pollack's Shatner for what seemed like 5 hours. I saw him at a Comedy Club and you're right... Shatner is pretty much his entire act.
