There is a long tradition of tourists from around the world visiting England and messing with the royal guards positioned around Buckingham Palace and St. James Palace. The guards, with their bright red uniforms and large fuzzy hats are famous for their rigid discipline and their refusal to move or laugh — which is why visitors to the U.K. have so much fun torturing them.

Most of those visitors or amateur comedians, but what happens when a professional tries it. Enter The Simpsons star Hank Azaria, who provides the voices of characters ranging from Moe the Bartender to Chief Wiggum to Duffman. In a clip shared widely on social media, Azaria tries to make one of the royal guards crack by unleashing a flurry of Simspsons voices, including Snake, Professor Frink, and the Comic Book Guy.
