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:

ahhh yes, the "narcissist!" :lol:

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?

hmm. i'm not sure if she was. she could have been though lol. i turned it off after i saw that. I really don't watch the show that much, i just don't think its really funny. I think they try too hard :D

Aw I wanna see! I also never watch Mad-TV...I hate stupid funny. Had no idea they had a skit on Coldplay even.

it's not much, but i found some info. on the spoof music video:

Old Lady: Watch it! Teabag.

 

Chris Martin: Hey walking backwards is easy.

I hate mad tv, its just not funny, usualy.

yeah mad tv sucks

i like stupid humor

but i've never seen that skit, sounds funny

I have heard of this, but I've not seen it for myself... :(

whats the deal with the new nicknames? (i.e.: status 1:5 yellow)????/ i just noticed this, as I'm not on as much now out of school

its the new "rankings".

 

it goes by the CD, then the track, then the name of the track.

i am lookin for it

cant seem to find it :/

is there any way u can get it?

or can some one post it?

Interesting...

hahahahahaa, hillarious, hope it's online so i can download it

 

:D

I've been hoping that for the last couple of years.

You all love and worship and watch MADTV. Stop kidding yourselfs, you are only convincing yourselves and each other and no one else. Michael McDonald is brilliant and every other positive adjective there is.

I posted this somewhere else here, but can't find it, here ya go.

Haha, pretty funny! I love when the basketball guy says "What you doin' white boy?!" Because that's what would have happened in real life if Chris walked into their game!

:laugh3::laugh3:

 

IT's just to funny .

I posted this somewhere else here, but can't find it, here ya go.

 

 

:lol: at 1:36

It is pretty funny

EDIT: Oops! Vid's already posted above! :D

Eh, it was okay. :D

Haha... I think in a way it gives them a nod..

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.

HAHAHA! That was hilarious!

 

I love how they imitate Chris' scratchy voice when he goes into certain notes - too funny. Especially when he says 'I'm a true lover of arrrrrt'. xD

 

I bet Chris would have found it funny. :nice:
