Madtv The Calling Parody

[tumejorpose]

So funny!!!

[3sgtepwnzr]

will sasso is so classic.

[Krimsonix]

Hilarious - Freaking hilarious.

[The4EverYoung85]

As I watch this, I wonder what MADtv (or FOX, for that matter) was thinking when they got rid of Taran Killam. He was only the show for a season and WHAM! He was never seen again. At least Taran's on SNL now...

[classicrockboy93]

They're missing Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots, Pete Palladino of The Badlees, and Ed Roland of Collective Soul

[TitanNerd68]

@classicrockboy93 In other words, every alternative rock vocallist of the 90s.

[dbonomo123]

What about Extreme, Crash Test Dummies, Hottie ?

[jmandy2009]

The guy making fun of the calling sounds like cher lol. Love this video.

[love4ever5]

I knew that guy from saturday night live looked familiar he did mad tv first... 

[The4EverYoung85]

@love4ever5 His name is Taran Killam (of course, Taran isn't the first MADtv cast member to appear on SNL. Jeff Richards spent a year on MADtv before he moved to SNL, but he sucked on both those shows. Taran was good on MADtv, but he only was on that show for a year. He's now on SNL and he is coming back for another season).

[telam92]

will sasso is hilarious

[Dionysius8421]

I've been looking for this FOREVER.

[LastYearsRegrets]

OMG! I was shocked when Ray Charles showed up.

[verutum21]

ray charles for the win!!

[JAKETHEGREAT11100]

creed puts them all to shame. cmon people dont kid yourselves

[NeonNamtabProduction]

@JAKETHEGREAT11100 lies its the calling

[needlewings90]

no i dont think they could exactly make fun of nickelback since chad kroeger's voice is so unique. other bands that use the same tone of voice like these guys are seether and puddle of mudd.

[clipsryan]

I love how Trey Parker uses the grunge vocals in some of his songs.

[okerbaka]

will sasso is beast

[insanity21376]

@okerbaka LOL he is .. he totally made this video.

[Kayleigh27]

I have no idea what they're singing lol

[matikalyere]

@Kayleigh27 lyrics part 1: The Calling: So lady, I'm thinkin'

With you is where I want to be/If I go, you'll freak out/Cuz I'm the only one you see

Creed:Hey buddy, your singin'

It sounds an awful lot like me/You ripped off my voice box/You are a crappy low rent Creed

The Calling.I am not

Creed: You are too/You even stole our melody

The Calling: Then tell that to Pearl Jam/They're in that boat behind that tree

[matikalyere]

@Kayleigh27 lyrics part 2: Pearl Jam: Well look here, it's Scott Stapp/and kid who swiped my lock jaw sound/Get ready, cuz I will

Beat your trick thief ass in the ground/So finally, it's just me/I was the first to sound like this

Ray Charles: That's bull crap, I'm Ray Charles

and its my ass you all can kiss/That's how I sing/That's how I sing

All:That's how we sing, Yeah/That's how we sing, Oh Yeah/That's how we sing, Yeah/That's how we sing, Yeah/Yeah yeah yeah

[SCO23]

Taran Killam as Alex Band

Will Sasso as Scott Stapp

Michael McDonald as Eddie Vedder

Aries Spears as Ray Charles

[xgirlfiendx]

LMFAO @ the Scott Stapp parody!!



[sillygrl23]

Oh my god that was hilarious but when PEARL JAM came on I just lost it because growing up that was the first time I heard that deep throated gutteral musical tone from that band.

But in all fairness they can take a cue from Ray Charles he perfected it looong before any of those guys were even conceieved lol. Man, I miss those Madtv music videos.

[w1seguys]

What about Nickelback, Lifehouse, Stone Temple Pilots, and Ke$ha?

[Rawk4Life]

Did you just say Ke$sha? She's not even the same genre as the bands you mentioned. FAIL!

[w1seguys]

@Rawk4Life That's kind of the point genius.

[TxSxfunnychicks]

OMF T-T Whats the guy with the blound Wig on name DX i <3 him but cnt remmber his name

[KatReaganomics]

The guy who does the lead singer of the calling is dead-fucking-on. It's hilarious.

[ahmadbanjar]

what about lifehouse??

[Paligurl123]

buahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

[LoganCrews]

They forgot The Stone Temple Pilots.

[QueXseraXsera]

The guy who is making fun of the calling is hilarious!

[jaggedalibi]

@QueXseraXsera Yeah, he's on SNL now.

[mycolddeadeyes]

LMAO When Ares Spears floated in at the end.

I thought I would die laughing when he said " That's bullcrap im Ray Charles and it's my ass

you all can kiss." Ares was one of my favorite

cast members, I wish he would appear on television more often he is hilarious, especially

during the time he spent on MADtv. The same goes for Will Sasso whenever they would appear together in sketches you knew it would be hilarious. XD

[revived513]

Will sasso is amazing.

[ComaLies225]

LOL at will sasso, looks almost like the creed guy

[redobsidian1]

I like the randomness of Ray Charles. Ha! c(=

[vinthelot]

somebody know the name of the songs ?

[darchangel08]

i love these bands, but i cant help but think this is SO true XD

[darlingelf]

Finally someone made a parody of those ridiculous bands.

[fearrising10]

i love will sasso XD

[VinnyReckless]

anyone know where i can download this?

[HIXAA]

will sasso

mike mcdonald

[vridore]

LMAOOOOO

[maipigenDK]

Oh i wish they showed MadTV in denmark!

[eddweird30]

excellent i watched it 3 times

[charmizl]

the pearl jam singer actor is hot

[YamiGekusu]

Tarran Killam FTW! :D

[Adronitis]

the lead singer guy...he played a rock star for a disney movie..."stuck in the suburbs"..lol

[simonjeste]

IMDB: Taran Killam ... Jordan Cahill

He was "Derrick" in the viral series "Nobody's Watching".

[weakyboy]

very funny;DDDDDd

[cuts789654]

any lyrics of this??

[guanaca1987]

my favorite mad tv parody!!!!!!!!!!!

[AgentOrange04]

i think they coulda added nickleback... anyone think so?

[chrispumah]

hahahahaha but who would of played him though?

[weakvsfire]

they could a been there awhile adding folks that could have been included

hell they could've done a whole separate version with maybe folks like cameo or lionel richie

[h4n53n1]

@AgentOrange04 yeh

[liongirlsec]

@AgentOrange04 i was thinking the same thing

[razorblademask]

@AgentOrange04 No. Chad sounds nothing like these guys.

[seljeks]

@AgentOrange04 I came here to say this exact comment!!!!! Bwahahahahaha

[JCTFilms]

Creed, Pearl Jam, and Ray Charles are the best.

[weakyboy]

Very funny;DDDDDDd

[RysunKelvin09]

hahah! they all sound alike.. CREED!

[l101177]

GO PEARL JAM AND RAY CHARLES!

[Wakka12321]

Who from the MadTV cast is the singer from The Calling?

[Limptallica]

he was one of the "featured" guys. He was never an official member of the cast, he would just do a few skits here and there. He was also in the "Robert De Niro and Al Pacino go for ice cream"

[lg70742]

SOOO true...and SOOO funny!!!

[fierceasfire]

" i was the first to sing like this "

lolololols!

[booginas]

OMG!!  I can't believe they parodied this!! it was so overdue. I always thought that The Calling's lead singer sounded like the guy from Creed, and then I always thought the guy from Creed sounded just like the guy who sang lead from Hootie and the Blowfish!

[chronicsmoker4]

hahaha i didnt expect ray charles

[drdeadguy]

0.31 lol his face

[varppis]

Oh finally I found this, the best music video on MADtv ever!

[SteffyP623]

[AmericanUS5Freak]

That's just sad...

[RawrItBeMe]

How? O_o

[AmericanUS5Freak]

Well, when I say sad that's just another way of me saying pathetic...

I admit if a mock of an artist I like is actually funny, but this was just...Aye.

[tailabeoufgirlx]

lmfaoooooooo

[dontlistentomeimmute]

hahahahah fucking great!

[KuroOokamiUchihaSage]

MADTV'S PRIME

[Endless1200]

Man this video still cracks me up! I gotta give it to Taran though he sings pretty damn good

"I am not!"

"You are too!" lol

[bedfall]

HAHAHAHA CREED

[bloodfiredeath69]

Holy shit, I just found out that Will Sasso, the guy who impersonated Fred Durst, also did Scott Stapp. Ironic much?

[TehCommentz]

By the way, is Taran his real name? He's made videos under 'impytherap' channel with a different name.

I think he became a TV star after the youtube thing but I'm not sure.

[chichiluv93]

Taran is his real name 'impytherap' is an unaired show he did we was known b4 that i think

[TehCommentz]

Omg Taran is soooo funny. xD

[popuptuber]

They forgot to add Stone Temple Pilots, Sound Garden, Linkin Park, Puddle of Mudd, Saliva, Nickleback, and just about anything that came out of the Northwest Corner of the country. They all pretty much couldn't get their collective pants down around their ankles fast enough for the collective orgasm of the grunge movement.

[bloodfiredeath69]

Since when did Linkin Park have a vocalist that sounded like Scott Stapp? Their vocalists are worse, a terrible white rapper and an angsty adult.

[deanguitarfan]

dude u know that scott stapp sounds just like eddie fuckin vedder

[gscortez]

no.

[ItsLiddyTime]

omg when ray charles came out i laughed so hard.

[bloodfiredeath69]

Scott Stapp looks fat here too. xD

[kittylishus45]

LOL

[bloodfiredeath69]

They sound like my ass! xD

[perry4show]

lol its so weird how they all sound the same, and have similer melodyes

[rajuas]

what did ray charles say?

[perry4show]

thats bull-crap im ray charles and its my ass you all can kiss,thats how i sing,thats how i sing,etc.

[rajuas]

jajajaj...funny one, thanks!

[grungrung]

they should have all of them to something from their music videos like the blond guys is they are surrounded by those while walls creeds is they are on boats but pearl jam and ray just came in on boats

[xxAceOfClubsxx]

wtf? xD

[vujdzelis]

noobs

[youtewb06]

they could add Seether too.

[grungrung]

bleach132465798 he says "you are a crappy low rent creed"

[bleach132465798]

what was the creed guys line after "you ripped of my voice box"

[najib1993haymour]

who is the guy playing the lead singer for the calling

[SUPERSAYAIN69]

taran killam

[grunthor666]

i think lifehouse is another group to add right?

[clayschocolat]

YUP! =)

[xCoolMuffinx]

Looove it.

Will Sasso..lmao.

[ilactore]

eddie vedder and ray charles sound nothing alike.

[pisubala]

whats the songs name?

[prue6967]

wherever you will go :)

[frutisnack2000]

the calling

[Joestn77]

i remember when i first saw this on tv. i was laughing so much, i didn't even realize what they were singing about(but i got the idea) untill ray charles came out. it was genius.

[MerlinaFerdinand]

ahahahahah

charles rulz!!

[grungrung]

lol scott stapp/ will sasso is smiling the whole time

[Wednesdayschild666]

That guy who plays the Calling dude is hot in a stereotypical way... Who is that?

[006532108]

This is the shit but creed is the best and ray charles is second. LOL

[nessedathoodgurl]

ray charles better bitch

[JXCphoenix]

haha the best is when Ray Charles comes in out of nowhere..."that's bullcrap..."

and of course when they all get together to say "that's how we sing". lol i love it

[cvang5]

come back to madtv will sasso.

[Ryan2142]

This is dead on. lol

[razorblademask]

God, Will Sasso is incredible. XD

[chrissyxxDEAD]

hahahhahhaha i love this!

[razorblademask]

I'm not a big fan of Pearl Jam, and yes I did come from that era of music but they only have a few songs I like. The Callings ok and Creed was badass in their day, BUT Creed had a song called "one" that sounded like it would be a perfect Pearl Jam song. I'm not saying they're taking their style, but it was really close.

[Livingchaos5623]

Will Sasso makes this skit work. I could watch his part 50 times over and laugh every time. He's the greatest. Hey Fox do yourself a favor and make a good decission for once and get the producers of Mad TV to bring Sasso back. Your show sucks without him.

[razorblademask]

He quit.

[lesterclaypool1]

They need to give Sasso his own show...or someone does.

[razorblademask]

I know he was in some show, just don't know the name of it.

[chewybubb]

nice!!!

[morbidkitty]

i love the calling...but it's so true :)

[batiyol]

still the calling rock's!!! long live the calling

[wiiman6996]

i love the paret where ray charles and say " Thats bull crap i was the first to sound like this"

[kingdiamond69]

This is probably my all time favorite mad tv skit ! Will Sasso needs to return to the show i miss him him.

[flag4eva]

'Hey buddy, your singing, sounds alot like me,' lol!!! I love this style of singing, introduced to it via pearl jam and nickleback I think its soo sexy and a guy can sing like this for years and years!!

[XbitchXslapX]

this is cute!

[MattBeckstrom]

Is the tattoo girl Carla from Scrubs?! Judy Reyes?!

[Megalo0]

No. It's Nicole Parker

[blackwolf1272]

She had a role in scrubs 2 but blonde

[MattBeckstrom]

Yeah, I was just joking.

[Trickcence999]

I love Mad tv's song parodies.

[Megalo0]

So do I. This is probably one of my favorites.

[CookieBear99]

LOL the creed guy was awesome lol

[Atepitupgirl18]

I can't believe this! It's a total disgrace to The Calling! I hate it! I don't really care about everyone else in this! I love the calling and I think this is the worst thing ever to be posted on Youtube!

[lazeeboy]

Its just a joke, you shouldn't take it so

seriously.

[Atepitupgirl18]

I don't care. I've idolized Alex Band for over 6 years now.I don't really care about the other people, but, It really just ticked me off....

[razorblademask]

If you were really a fan, you'd notice the similarities they made in the parody but sense you don't you don't really like that band then. Grow up and get over it.

[Presto69]

when ray first comes out is mos definitely the best

[shiri2]

stupid this parody...the calling is great...;/

[stnrodriguez]

The calling sucks

[stnrodriguez]

The calling sucks

[MiLiSHKA89]

Can't stop laughing when CREED's singer comes out.. Oh my god!

[jrry32]

You mean Will Sasso as Scott Stagg.

[MiLiSHKA89]

Oh sorry Mr digits and letters! Im sooo sorry i didn't wrote will sasso's name, and i realy dont care much for a guy from a metalband tbh. so please! let me enjoy this without YOU, telling ME, how wrong I am! PLEASE! GODDAMN!

And btw CUTIEPIE i was laughing so hard that i almost cry, how in the world could i start lookin' up a guy's name, whom i'm totally uninterested of? how?

[jrry32]

No I was telling you it is Scott Stagg and Pearl Jam(Mike McDonald) says Scott Stagg so you don't have to look it up and yes, you should be laughing that hard it is hilarious especially when Aries comes in as Ray Charles.

[BIGDADDYKRAFT53]

STAPP with P's

[dgfpat]

Thank you for the info. And Mili you should tone it down. Irry was just trying to help you out. And there are nothing to do with letter
