Bono for Lucky Clovers

[ThomasEdwardsLive]

Omfg, this is great.. The way he just sits there, with a massive ego next to that tiny lightbulb...

[kingsxkids]

sorry for the stuttering

go to 1:00 for the song

[kingsxkids]

Best Cover of One ever!

1:00

[kingsxkids]

Best Cover of One ever!

[OrchestrationOnline]

Great parody! I especially like Andy Dick's Adam Clayton impersonation. What's odd is that U2 self-consciously created a parody of themselves starting from the ZOO TV tour, and were constantly spoofing their own fame and personalities. Then Ben Stiller does the same thing, and Bono actually gets mad about it! Very silly...you should never play into a satirist's hands like that. Just grin and bear it!

[homelesshannah50]

I doubt he's TRYING to sound like Bono it's parody and he doesn't even do impression so he probably did it on purpose.

[RockJunkie04]

Would anyone happen to have the Ben Stiller parody of: 'Where the Streets Have No Name' ?

I believe he had re-titled it: 'Where the Streets Know My Name'

[MrIdakula]

one of the most under rated shows ever. miss real comedy

[DoubleMiz]

OMG I remember this - this is EPIC, LOL!

[Mrsjack43]

this this halliards< good job copping One music vid BUT Mr. Ben you have to work on you accent.

[weaselsuit]

These Ben Stiller show U2 parodies were SO great, I love U2, but I have a buddy who is absolutely RABID about anything U2. I showed him these skits and he actually got pissed. LOL!

[T74G]

lol!!

[Schwartzhund]

Bob Odenkirk pre Mr. Show! Interesting. If only there were a modern day Mr. Show......

[rubbersoul420]

he looks like elaine's boyfriend in seinfeld, the rock climber mtv guy

[kagiso3741]

Mr. Kinkaid!

[fourfeethigh]

they're magically nutritious!

[fourfeethigh]

lol

[mspookie]

WORST IRISH ACCENT EVER!

[kagiso3741]

Mr. Kinkaid!

[MissZoolander12]

Just wonderful !!!! I love this song when it's singing by Ben !!!! Just delirous !!!!

[brookemcin79]

One boowwwlluh... won't be enough.

[cookmoore]

Terrible accent.

Yes, there's drag!

[Chameleonardodavinci]

2:39 check out the nazi chick behind him

[SimplyMeHooray]

how many people are here from dickepedia?

[carlo88moe]

@SimplyMeHooray yessss!!!!! great site! lil surprised to see him on it but eh whatever, theyre right about his bono

[ykevivaelrocknroll]

poor imitation of Bono...



[danbennerdotcom]

Wow. So Ben Stiller has actually been funny once.

[sporeproof]

Ben Stiller Show: 90-91

U2 One Release: 92

How O_o

[purplehaze0120]

@sporeproof That was just the MTV run. Fox picked it up and it ran again from 92 to 93

[eskimospy77]

He looks an awful lot like David Copperfield.

[MrJtr75]

Ben Stiller is the man. The only movie he did that I can't stand is "Reality Bites" that movie, truly bites.

[TheRobertjavier81]

Que lo que hace un bufalo ahi what the fuck the bufalo ? me no entender

[Lfdjake91]

The Ben Stiller show was one of the best sitcoms shows ever. Just great, brilliantly done parodies of the early '90s pop culture. I used to love watching this show & was sad when it got cancelled after such a short run.I bought the entire series on DVD.

[graemelockieable]

You kids watching this don't have a clue about the real genius or joke behind this entire sketch. The old dude being interviewed about Bono is "Mr. Kinkaid" from the Partridge Family! Ring a bell anyone? Probably not 'cause no one's old enough to remember that far back. Good job Stiller, subtle but nice touch on the faux albeit somewhat realistic documentary/interview!

[slimsanta]

he looks like daniel day lewis more than bono haha

[TheRobertjavier81]

bono abono de kk 

[PeteReplete]

He could have at least tried the Irish accent! So so bad! Worst Bono ever!

[chickenlil180]

one of best things ever to be on television. I still remember the first time I saw this.

[thebobcat64]

bono is god, buy what you're told

[rssell]

At the same time Louis Black was the BOKU spokesperson. But WHY?

[BrinteySpears018]

I love Ben stiller and I hate Bono

[TheAlienAndTheTree]

@BrinteySpears018 i love ben stiller, britney spears and i hate bono. lol.

[Std4mvp]

people want me to be a God, but people look at me and I say I can't be God so I'm telling you to buzz off

[Thule000]

i hate bono, thank you ben stiller

[DrSequoia]

Well, this impersonation is kind of talentless.

The problem of Stiller is that he believes that he's versetile and capable of imitating of anyone he wants. But he's not, sadly.

And, BTW, those days U2 were much less commercially oriented than in 2000's.

[steveconn]

Good but not as pompous as real Bono.

[LifesHavoc]

Stiller is awesome and this is funny I wish he would do more of this stuff maybe a sketch comedy movie or a webisode.

[crazychicks225]

Omg this is hilarious....Bono is God ;)

One bowl...we got to share it :D

[TJae1]

I guess kellogg never releasd this 1 ~

[julietdervin]

I love how he doesn't even really try to have an Irish accent! Haha!

[porter69er]

Bono is Irish! That didn't sound Irish at all or even as morbid as Bono does... That's crap nothing like Bono

[slickabe]

Funny stuff...really funny :)

[AltRockAddict]

U2's gotta love it ~ Good work Mr. Stiller!

[dgreen002]

classic! so funny

[virgin4lyfe]

Mr. Riley from Odyssey?

[Picardy]

A perfect tribute so somebody who thinks they're sooo cool.

[jesseholmz]

he looks like daniel day louis in this

[bozez1]

@jesseholmz have you seen him do Daniel Day Louis?...Look up Ben Stiller Last of the Mohicans.

[jesseholmz]

hahha yeah i saw that right after i posted that comment, ben stiller is great

[clawlesslawless]

lewis

[metallica0019]

hahah i loooove the song

ooooooooone boooooowl and we gotta share it we got 2 share it!

clooooooooooveeeeeeeeeeeeers

hahaa

[selloutasaurus]

very funny! love the cameo by Mr. Kinkaid! and the Partridge Family subliminals.

[TheCoachZed]

HILARIOUS! I never knew Stiller did this stuff!

[JoeClipso]

Ben Stiller, Andy Dick they both got famous off this show.. how do you think we know their names today.. but yea i just found out myself a year ago.. lol

[smithtm979]

Don't forget Janeane Garofalo! :)

[TheLegendfamily]

Oh, yeah, The Ben Stiller Show was awesome. Watching it back when it was still on network was like being in on a little secret. Janine Garafalo (sp?) got her start on TBSS as well. Check out the "Cops in Ancient Egypt" sketch over in the Rel. Vids section.

[seanreillyireland]

Great stuff, thanks a lot. Should have called them 'me 2', excellent!

[TheLegendfamily]

U r quite welcome, I'll just answer u via PM, mate.

[midgehock]

Yeah this was the early early 90's. Good stuff.

[Malocosa]

Ben looks like Daniel Day Lewis impersonating Ben Stiller doing a really bad Bono impression on purpose

[davykrump29]

agreed

[tonygl7]

@Malocosa thats the most hilarious and correct description ever

[carlo88moe]

@Malocosa why* stop there, id go further

[ShaneKarma376]

@Malocosa Well played my friend haha.

[GeneralBulldog54]

Dosen't anyone think that Stiller kinda looks like Affleck here or am I seeing things?

[Corleonetone]

he looks like kenny florian

[juve16164]

he should do chris angles

[southcoocrecords]

I use to love this show when I was a kid.

[balancebalance]

thats was spot on. Ben has a nice voice

[JohnDamnFan]

I hope Adam does this version.

[fizzygillespie]

Considering Adam Sandler had only been on SNL for about a year when that aired, I think that would be highly doubtful.

[lonelygnome1]

lol that's great.

[ironbuttermilk]

Dave Madden fuckin' Rules!!!!!

[fauslyfox110]

yo dont hate on ben stiller, hes mad funny, great movies too

[kunglek]

i wish ben stiller was funny.

[VanBurenBoi]

Is that andy dick?

[ironbuttermilk]

Yes, that was Andy's dick.

[Paulfieldz]

he actually looks Daniel Day Lewis!!

[bababooeylover]

My brother Matt says that groups like u2 who sell out to evil, fat cat corporations like Blackberry, for tour sponsorhsip, ought to shampoo his crotch...

[alansmz]

FYI, this is the first time U2 ever do that. For all they previous tours, they use their own money to finance their tour. Your brother Matt bark up the wrong tree apparently if he's on the hunt for serial sponsorship abusers. U need to help him wash his crotch since u listen to his rubbish so often...

[HarmittysBlog]

Friggen classic..

[StanAlter]

I remember a few years back Ben Stiller saying everytime they'd do a U2 parody they'd get tons of hate mail.

[fiw06]

yanks still cant diferentiate between clovers and shamrocks! but good attempt!

[Heathnyy5]

They were mocking the breakfast cereal Lucky Charms, so I think it was more important to use a C to start the second word, so the box looks more similar to the actual cereal. They weren't just saying "These things are clovers," they were just calling it Lucky Clovers, though it was the same contents as Lucky Charms.

[agmr1256]

this song actually sounds very good! ofcourse the lyrics are funny!

[agmr1256]

ben stiller and andy dick's expressions are priceless! so damn funny! love this show!

[berries22]

i love the episode when ben stiller acts like bono and he sangs the theme song from the tv sitcom "The Jeffersons "

[NubianGoddez]

OMG Ben Stiller is hilarious!! these skits had me on the floor, I was literally crying at his skits, truly one of the funniest comedians to date. blue steel baby!!!

[sgtpepper1138]

he kind of looks and sounds like Bob Geldof

[msully74]

It's daniel day lewis!!!!

[Apoktite]

LOL. genious.

[dgreen002]

one bowl, won't be enough. one box, you know you''ll eat it right up. so delicious, essential vitimins and they're magically nutritious. one bowl, and it's runnin' low. you give me one box now its all i've got. one bowl, and we've got to share it, got to share it baby...luccckyy cloooveerrs.

[darius595]

pretty bad....at least attempt an irish accent if you want to do impressions. stiller is overrated and untalented.

[modeo92]

Stiller captured the aura of Bono brilliantly.

As far as an Irish accent, Bono barely has one. Having relatives in Dublin I know that if the majority of the words spoken are understandable for an American then it's not a true Irish brogue. Sometimes the tangents Bono goes on make no sense but not the individual words. And considering how much time he's away from the Emerald Isle it's easy to understand why.

[dgreen002]

ROFLS

[idioot15]

This is FUNNY...and he looks like bono.(little bit)

[bigbendewolfe]

Subliminal Messages?!? LOL.

Guitar solos showered in lucky clovers! LOL.

And That's one creepy leprechaun!

[egrog03]

im irish and i get all the usual irish shit thrown at the whole time, but this was actually funny, good work ben

[jonnjonn24]

HILARIOUS!!! Could you post his skit My U2 Dads???

[EpiLPstandard]

The best U2 parody i've ever seen and i'm a U2 fan!

[pesnaya]

hahahahahahahahaha

ZDOROVO

[wickedsword]

i wish that ben stiller would do a spoof on joe satriani. he looks very much like him :)

[Ari721]

That is toooooo funny! "Have you had you're Breakfast?" LOL

[Promise1985]

the buffalo is geniuo! OMG what happend to my spelling???

[sovjetvodka]

well, it's kinda funny, but he's totally missed that bono is irish, haha.

[modeo92]

Considering there's an Irish themed cereal and a leprechaun running around, I think Stiller is quite aware of Bono's heritage.

[kramerspadowskiki]

this vido not only parodies "one" but also "the fly" and "even better than the real thing" videos from achtung baby love u2 love stiller

[monkeywaster]

he looks a shitload like daniel day lewis

[modeo92]

He did do a "Last of the Mohicans" parody in a later episode.

[melissastrawbridge]

This is brilliant- and I love U2!!! :)

[Larissa1083]

What year was it filmed?

[modeo92]

Your post is 3 weeks old, but just in case you never found out, this episode ran in 1992.

The series itself ran from September of '92 to January of '93. There were 12 episodes shown (the 13th is on the DVDs), it had terrible ratings not helped by awful time slots, but did win an Emmy for writing.

[mugencivic88]

HAHA "me too, not U2"

[NaveedKoval]

haha "partridge family rules"

[kittylove1980]

jaja! no sabia que ben stiller hacia imitaciones, y lo hace muy bien, solo he visto este de bono y tambien el de tom croose y estan divertidisimas!

[EGITAYE]

"...he's very materialistically oriented you know, and thats not U2's all about,

you know, were not about the glitz and the glamour, the money and the fame and the power and the touring and the money.... well maybe we are about that a little bit but...

well I guess that is what we are about."

[kramerspadowskiki]

this is funny but bono is a great and u2 is phenomanal and one is a great song

[EGITAYE]

hahahahaha the first minute was siiick

[kramerspadowskiki]

the man that made the comments sounds like dave madden

[1370wlop]

well worth it and seriously discounted. You can see the influence of this show even today. Even though Janeane credits Mad TV as being great which it is overall, when you only have 13 episodes, the pacing and the urgency seems to be bigger and brighter than when you have 13 seasons.

[beersgood7]

one of the funniest sketches ever made in my opinion. I actually watched the Ben Stiller Show when it was first aired on Fox and it was very underated. I was pissed when they cancelled it after only twelve episodes. You can actually find used copies of the Ben Stiller Show Box set on Ebay for less than ten bucks plus a few bucks shipping and it is well worth it.

[mikejordan88]

this is comedy gold

[billyhay]

is andy dick playing edge?

[SlickSmooth22]

no andy dick is playing Adam Clayton.

[creepycoyote]

This was hysterical! I can't believe I didn't know this existed until now. Wow, they really went all out with the details--the scar on Bono's chin, the bison! Too funny. The leprechan had me rolling.

[DickJones420]

u want me to be a god but i cant be a god so im tellin u to buzzoff cuz i dont even kno whut a god is

[AlDarko]

LMAO

That was a great show...

[MissMael]

Lol, amazing how much details that was put into this, I'm impressed :D I don't find U2 parodies so often eventhough it's a excellent band to do parodies of.

I'm an old (28) fan of U2 and I always believed Bono to be sincere but I could/can still see he had/has Helluva ego.

Remember he said in an interview that he used to envy people with lot of money, so now he's happy XD

[swinnixon]

lol, "one" endorsing lucky clovers lol

[AdriSoulLove]

HAHAHAHA Amazing video!!!:D

[solittle40]

i just think it's interesting that they didn't realize that U2 were all about irony and mocking during the 90's. that was the point of flashing subliminal messages on the screen...it was social criticism intermixed with real truths. It wasn't just about making money. but whatever. haha it was funny none the less.

[caspertune]

Wasn't about making money? Are you being ironic? That's all that U2 was every about.

[blakevickrey]

is that andy dick as adam?

[sagittariusela]

Awesoooome!That's funny! :D :D :D

[Hughezy]

WOAH, Bono has a ego: real cutting edge...

[gameboychild]

are you kidding me?? haha this is 15 years old...goof.

[Hughezy]

everyone knew Bono had a ego ever since Live Aid... goof.

[harullusa]

That was great!! Ben Stiller is so funny

[McFlyHilaryU2]

Ahahaha, thats a funny video ^^

[maichea]

one bowel

[MrShupe]

U2 sucks a dick.

[Down10]

Heh, I forgot that Danny Bonaduce and Dave Madden were in this. Who would have guessed that Mr. Kinkaid managed both the Partridge Family *AND* U2!

Another nice detail: Remember how so many music videos of the early '90s would flash the lyrics (and other seemingly random words) on the screen? That got old real fast.

[kmalloy11]

He was actually funny back then.

[splorenzo]

Hi zizzou3 how r you...I see you liked it!!

[zizzou23]

that is sooo funny, but aare you sure that's ben stiller trying to be bono? but it looks like the original video of the real bono.

[AussieinHK]

The video is sooooo close to the real "One" videos!

[123Jay321]

Bono doesnt even have an accent any more, hes spent so much time in any other country other than ireland its just disappeared. that was pretty funny. Bonos the man!

[jerrydan]

It was real cute how he didn't even bother trying Bono's accent.

[BrainDamage94]

LOL
