MAD-TV spoof of The Scientist video

Has anyone seen this?

 

Not that I watch that damn stupid show (SNL is soooo much better and funnier), but just a day or so I ago I was scanning through the channels and came across Comedy Central playing an old episode in which there is a spoof os the Scientist video.

 

The same guy who plays that baby in those reoccuring skits plays Chris walking backwards (just walking backwards--no effects) and singing forwards with altered lyrics that are poking fun at Chris and the band and such. I believe the song was renamed "The Narcicist" lol.

 

I think I remember one line from the song being "I am the new Bono" or maybe "I want to be the new Bono" or "I'm trying to be the new Bono" or something like that. There was also some stuff about the paparazzi, Gwyneth, I think Apple, trying to write songs that mean something.

 

Just kinda interesting and I've never seen it before. :rolleyes:

i saw the first airing of that in late 2003, i think...

what a hysterical spoof! it had everyone rolling on the floor in my house.

...i've been trying to see the repeat, but always seem to miss it. jessica alba was guest starring in that episode, right?

I love that skit. :D I also like the one that's a parody of Speed of Sound. Meh, madTV's okay. I'm glad you people don't hate it. I hate it when people on here just hate people/songs/shows JUST because they make fun of Coldplay. I'm fine with jokes, but I get really pissed when it's pure hate.
