Popstars - Comic Relief Parody

[sillyfunify]

This was written by none other than Richard Curtis!  It's great to see it again: I actually have it on VHS and have searched for it before on youtube, but couldn't find it because I searched for 'POPSTERS' lol. Aanyway thanks for posting it.

[squishy3000]

"That's....incredible"

"But you won't be in this band, will ya?"

[ProtestantsRUs]

Wasn't that the lady from Green Wing as a judge?

[Anglogirl1]

@ProtestantsRUs It's Sarah Alexander who is also the wife of Peter Serafinowicz who plays "Cassius" in this parody.

[RavenCK]

'Neeeeeeeaaaaaaaaar, Faaaaaaaaaar,

WhereEEEEEVER you arrrrrrrrrrrrre,

I believe that the heart does go on.'

CLASSIC!

[Anglogirl1]

@RavenCK Especially since the woman singing that is Kate Winslet!

[TheTimster90]

This is why we shouldn't have Mr Bean as a judge! XD

[lupo10]

Hahahaha I've never seen that before, nice clip!

[choptix96]

haha simon pegg looks like such a mug

[paniikkia]

Peter Serafinowicz and Simon Pegg, bloody hilarious! "Groovy!"

[voon100]

Hahaha@Darius sketch, it is so spot on.

He is almost there reaching to new heights with his fame.

He stars in West End play, Chicago, appeared in Hotel Babylon and is married to Natasha Henstridge, now auditioning in ITV Operastar.

If there is a reality TV show about being the next Prime Minster you can bet your life he'll audition for it.

[Satan820]

[iloveparamore2]

[Crimsonhe]

The R best comics ever the UKs the best i love bining a brit

[littleblueyedangel]

so funny!

[pixl8edkat]

Love Rowan Atkinson banging his head on the table - that's something I would do in a comedy sketch like this to show my aggravation too LOL

[FabFM]

rowan keating shows us his true talent

[liammonnier]

Sure you don't mean Rowan Atkinson?

[FabFM]

No, I mean Ronan Keating actually... sounds better here than on record... lol

[danuk2k7]

dude he rocks sounds great on all his records

[FabFM]

listen to leif garrett then tell me that... then when you have moved up that notch, get back to me, then I'll start recommending some music!

[danuk2k7]

sorry thats like so last millenium get up too date man

[FabFM]

music is about the music, not what year it was recorded it. going by your logic what you like now will be crap in ten years time, thus all you will ever listen to is a load of crap! this proves what you have for brains.... crap!

[effbyrne]

his name is simon pegg

[owillojameso]

its the dude from hott fuzz!!! and shon of the dead!!!! lol

[emmagill222]

hahaha. I remember all the popstars series. this is hilarious!

[PurpleHazeOfSanj]

LOVE YOU SIMON PEGG!!!!

[shemxe]

he iz well fit

[aahmm]

haha only rowan atkinson can make blowing your nose funny the mans face is amazing

[djbethell]

The really funny thing is that most of these "stars" started out sounding exactly like they were auditioning for Popstars! Gotta starts somehwere I guess...

[swelstead]

This is why I wished I lived in Britain. Can you see any US 'popstars' (ie real 'stars' like Emma Buntin or Ryan Adams, or their American equivalant) making fun of themselves like this, outside of a VERY carefully orchestrated Saturday Night Life appearance???

[massiveants]

sarah alexander is a lovely

[jasminknowles]

HAHAHAHA Jamal's family are hilarious.

[wannabeboltonian]

Did I just see Jon Tickle at the start of that video?

[johnpizarelli89]

[rocktzar]

[theincrediblehaque7]

a lesson in how to do a good parody. rowan atkinson = genius

[geniusNOTatWORK]

HAHAH! This was great! And I came upon it accidentely :)

[humptyodumptyo]

who played jamal??? why it's mr lenny henry!!! mr comic relief himself!!!!

[Spam2712]

Sorry, I love British comedy, but I live in the U.S., so I've never heard of Lenny Henry.

[humptyodumptyo]

He's a british comic legend from the good old days when i was young. Great that you love british comedy though. You should check out other Comic Relief sketches. :)

[Spam2712]

Believe me, I have been looking! The BBC should be releasing these specials on DVD! It'd make it a lot easier. For one thing, I can't find the rest of the Doctor Who special that Rowan Atkinson did back in the late 90s.

[bluemoonshired]

chef

[Spam2712]

By the way, that's not Brad Sherwood at 1:00-1:05, is it?

[Spam2712]

This is great! Rowan Atkinson and Simon Pegg have to be two of the funniest people ever! By the way, does anybody know who played Jamal? He was hilarious as well!

Thank you so much for posting this! I love Rowan Atkinson and it's so hard to find lesser seen things like this in the US.

[ken131]

WhooHoo!!!  I get both Rowan Atkinson and some Howard Goodall action (he's the guy at the piano)!! I'm a happy girl.
