Reminds me of that slightly meta Eddie Izzard bit where he talks about doing a joke in French to a French-speaking audience where he impersonated Sean Connery. Imagine Connery speaking French in his own acshent and idioshyncratic shtyle; kind of funny even without whatever it was he was saying. Unfortunately, none of the French audience had appreciated it much, and so after the gig he asked someone about it.

It was then he learned that Francophone audiences were more familiar with Connery’s designated French-speaking dub actor, who sounded nothing like Connery.

The audience might have understood what was going on, but it kind of killed the joke.
