The Chaser - I still can't accept what a nob I am U2 parody

[xman51000]

Couldve been way better.........

[decoderchick99]

Very fitting for this monu-mental prick.

[MissMael]

If they wanted to spoof the Vertigo era Bono why make a spoof of an 80s song and video? Sorry the timeline is too messed up to be funny I think.

[zsealy011]

Could someone make a transcript of this? I can't understand the words and would love to know what he is actually saying. I love this song very much but this looks hilarious XD

[Summayah89]

@zsealy011 Transcript:

I have met countless leaders, I have dined with Bill Gates

Always in sunglasses x2

I've met Bush and the pope, I've even been "On Enough Rope" with Andrew Denton

Still in those sunglasses

But I still cant accept what I nob i am x2

I taught Gelfof how to raise funds, showed Kofi Annan how the world runs

Give him a tip or two, less you and more u2

that's most of it lol

[MrBerniewoo]

He`s just been on at Glastonbury, talking to a spaceman live on the space station. What a guy! Maybe he should join him there -permanently!!

[jdogno1]

Funny but maybe the last gag could have been done differently. Otherwise. Hillarious.

[FlyingPig1902]

Bono is a monumental cunt, so this parody is absolutely spot on.

[xman51000]

@FlyingPig1902 sos your mum lol........

[laura25679]

I love U2 but this is brilliant! :)

[awkwardturtles100]

chas is hilarious, always hilarious!

[cerelilqt]

Why is bono's charity called one?

Only 1% goes to charity! (its true)

[fowlkenz]

He really is a wanker thou, hes not even that great of an artist just makes words rhyme to preset piano tempo

[MultiMasterProductio]

it's a fucking joke.

[moilezebre]

i'm a U2 fan and I'm still able to laugh at this it's just a joke nothing more

[melissatafe]

This is magnificent! Whenever I need a laugh......I just watch this!!

Especially LOVE the rolling eyes !

[andperhaps]

didnt it used to be i still cant accept what a wanker i am?

[funnyfacerful]

hahaha so true. whos singing?

[Mel0867]

@funnyfacerful

im pretty sure they got a U2 cover band to sing/play it.

[siniceblood2]

@Mel0867 True. And Chris had to mime at double speed so it would sync properly.

[xcmm92]

that guy has a very similar voice to Bono's

but Bono is 100x better :D

[Jorindevil]

Lol cool parody XD Yeah, and I'm a great fan of U2 and I love Bono, still it's funny. XD

[byrnesy311]

your a faggit thanksandy

[stupidjunk878]

Is he still paralyzed? That's the funniest thing ever! Couldn't have happened to a nicer cunt

[TheJackeryShow]

Hahaha Bono is such a faggot.

[Thanksandy]

@TheJackeryShow wow what a mature comment, very accurate as well. Why do people feel the need to use faggot as a derogatory word, it makes no sense, unless you are talking about George Michael, Elton John etc. Call him a c**t, w***ker, knob****

[Queens0x0x]

scary. the guy in 1:17 looks like my maths teacher.

he put on that face when he pissed.

[Queens0x0x]

HAHAHA i love the faces they put on 0:49!

i sometime feel like that to, about him.

[radripper2]

always in sunglasses lol

[rajkuru]

LOL

[chunkyyman]

awesome

[80sU2rocker]

you guys im a U2 fan and i think this is funny! its just a joke

[Thanksandy]

@80sU2rocker it is funny, there is a bit of truth in it, obviously not the words used to describe Bono, but it's just a tongue in cheek parody of someone a lot of people misunderstand as being conceited, pompous and arrogant, whereas his heart is in the right place and any rock star will have some kind of ego..

[ococlaire]

Haha, very funny!!

[bloodsling]

jeez..this guy has good pipes,I love U2 but I can appreciate the tongue in cheek humor here

[yamum122]

get a sence of humor its a joke fuckin hell

[allisonjohnzon271]

For those of us who like U2, this is extremely disrespectful and not funny. Bono has done more for places like Darfur than most government officials. AND in addition his eyes are extremely sesetive, hence the sunglasses, and it just adds personality so if you wanna disrespect him, you're the wanker.

[adzug]

lighten up, hes done alot but he seems like a bit of a turd, so what?

[adzug]

he seems full of himself to me but you cud be right i maybe wrong

[broganwd]

Dude its a Joke, so grow a sense of humour and shut the fuck up

[laqchlan]

ur gay

[mfwg74]

seems you don't get a grip on the whole concept of parody and satire

[thesteveus]

Bono is a twat.

End of.

[MCREDDIEPANTS]

yeah your a little faggot

[thesteveus]

the come-back king...........

[MCREDDIEPANTS]

o get over yourself your short we get it short people are evil

[Jas0199]

Oh get over it you soft cock. it's a fucking joke.

[blakesquakers]

haha 'don't be a soft cock'

[SirBroadsword]

Ah, the good 'ol days... I miss when the Chaser's were actually funny...

[maddermofo]

You've got Bono 2005 with Edge 1988, but it's still brilliant!!!

[jacko56214]

does any1 no where i can download this song

[marineninga]

ok Xvideo service theif nice program and very simple to use

[playgirlinreality]

hahaha i saw this on tv and it was fukn hilarious

Bono is a nob and that's a fact which he cant accept

haha well done Chasers, im a really big fan =]

[iTzJJshuffle]

hes a number 2 lol (watch the southpark episode with the biggest turd record)

[123nadia456]

its not actually chis singing lol

they got a U2 tribute band

but its so funny

[miraculousdraculous]

it's funny that in the original

bono isn't actually wearing sunglasses :P

[paradisewildchild]

i was a big fan of U2 before but now they are getting on my nerves. Besides, they are OLD NEWS.

[thesagachannel]

I love how much he actually sounds like Bono. I love U2, but this is hilarious!

[jayden940]

Bono is a chaser

Good on ya, doucheass

[Elx7777]

Bono is an ass

[ocleirigh86]

Bono is a douche.

Good on ya, chasers

[billbobkid2]

lol

thnx

[b3nry]

The beginning sounds like eye of the tiger

[dannyboyinxs]

lol its funny how the audience didnt laugh that much until it showed chas with the guitar

[goodwing]

funny how Bono's name backwards is O-NOB

[hamishblakefan]

Gosh this is funny! its much better than the original!!!

[sorby101]

the voice is fake

[KISSguitarist]

It's called effects dumbass.

[AidanMclaren]

@KISSguitarist

Idiot.

[HNCS2006]

damn why wasn't I in chinatown that day! would have been cool.

love the effects and everything. Chris actually sounds really good! haha

[MrsLeish]

i really love this

dunno why.

chaser is the bestttttttt

[Lavvenji]

the guy has a good voice. What do you think about it? Excuse my english.

[gezburnz]

no way is bono a nob- all you people who actually think he is, well youre the nobs. u2 are the bollocks- no one better live. bono does his bit 4 charity and dines with the mega rich and famous but wouldnt you if you were worth $500 million dollars.

[premiumunlegend]

take all the fun out of it why dont you?

[y488]

In an article in Bloomberg Markets (March 2007), two journalists, Richard Tomlinson and Fergal OBrien, discovered that Bono used his band's 2006 Vertigo world tour to promote his 'ONE' Campaign. In addition, at the same time, U2 was racking up $389 million in gross ticket receipts, making Vertigo the second-most lucrative tour of all time.

Revenue from the Vertigo tour was funneled through companies that are mostly registered in Ireland and structured to minimize taxes.

[Rocklobster933]

thats great 2 hear

[kanehotdog14]

WOLOLO

[heartthehorse]

well said, Bono = excessive conceited phoney.

[MCREDDIEPANTS]

ur whore shit yeah not horse shit whore shit

[heartthehorse]

In your Mcreddie pants?

[WholeLottaEllen]

yeah yeah okay i think bono's actually alright, but i still love this song and it shouldn't be taken seriously, the chaser's don't take anything seriously! :D xx

[Hawkesy]

maybe if he paid tax, the irish government could afford to give more money to the 3rd world.

[IrishBloodinveins]

Bono is not perfect by any means, i agree with you he should pay Tax..it would be a nice gesture, but despite his faults he's still a decent man!

[IrishBloodinveins]

Yeah, but there are lots of people who fritter away their self-made fortunes, and not do their bit for charity. Bono has the best yeah, he's a little extravagant yes..but he does lend his support to charity. Now i think this is a very funny send-up and i think Bono would crack a smile too...but the man is a sincere man, and i for one love him!!

Love from Ireland

[IrishBloodinveins]

This is FUNNY!!!I'm laughing, i swear! But because it plays off mannerisms and charcatersitics, not because Bono is actally a knob..he isn't! Bono is NOT a KNOB

[IrishBloodinveins]

Look, i'm Irish, i have a tolerance for quirky humour, i love this, but i maintain Bono is 100% unknobified..He's a figurehead, he rocks!

[keatingt123456789]

u guys r idiots, it was hansen who didnt wanna do that segment so chris had to

[IrishBloodinveins]

classic! but Bono isn't a knob!!

[heavymetaldude321]

Bono is a knob.

[dannyboyinxs]

omg, u guys think its no longer aired.... ahahaha its australian, and they stopped after 2 seasons because the didnt want to do a whole 'nother season not because they got in trouble... pfft they dont care

[ashman188]

the chaser is still aired, and surely the guy is chris and he is still with the chaser??

[margieee18]

he's just on leave. the rest are touring around Australia performing.

[ashman188]

exactly!

[JohnEko]

Finaly, I understand why the Chaser is no longer aired.

[unclehyypia]

wtf has bono done to you? assholes

[consiglieri1971]

this IS funny...don't take yourself to seriously.

[TOMMASCRAWLEY]

nothing and they dont pick on ppl they just do it for luaghs but the guy acting like bono decided he was leaving after being forced to do this coz he has nothing agianst bono and is a fan

[UnoticedShadow]

no hes not he had issues with family and will be back by october

[BardTheBowman101]

Fucking hilarious, I hate Bono

[pamplemousse80]

haha good work.

as do i.

[jafoosy]

funny!

[lorenrb]

mean

[Awoogrl]

hmmm...my love for Bono allows me to giggle, if only a little :-)

[wilso2067]

How is this un-funny???

[musicowns69]

fuck off this is funny as hell

[oanyego]

you are obviously easily amused, total pish, but because muppets like you lap it up, then it ends up here,

[mercyoz]

wtf.. bloody americans.. no offence americans

[Redstomp]

What does it have to do with Americans?

[clugerfinder]

the chaser is australian

[Nelsonnewcal]

get a sense of humour

[billygaykid]

Bono is a legend, U2 are the best band in the world! Chaser's still funny though.

[y488]

You haven't seen Radiohead live...

[statusquorules]

If bono took off his sunglasses (which he never has) you'd see his skin being whiter than the rest of his face due to sun tan :)

[kittymz]

Also, The title is showing how much of a knob the person who posted this is seeing nob isnt a word.

Its knob.

Tard.

[Daedalus117]

You people... I'm not even British and I know this.

"Nob, a British slang term for a person of wealth and social standing, deriving from an abbreviation of the word noble."

[luvtoday49]

snap. im not british either and i knew that. (thanks 2 the dictionary on my computer. lol) i also have this on dvd and it says 'nob'

[xvyxwqz]

A "nob" is top of your penis, a dickhead, like u.

[nickiholland]

what the fuck?

at least they posted it!

[roadkillkitten]

I love the 'WTF' look on Jules' face after Chris kisses the blonde girl.

[courtez09]

so stoked andrew had nothing to do with this coz hes a massive U2 fan :D

[luvtoday49]

lol funny u say that coz he actually didnt want to imitate Bono coz he is so obsessed with U2.

:)

[MeatAx3]

Its funny cuz its true.

[kittymz]

AGREED!

Not saying U2 aren't ohk, but is there any pics where he isnt in glasses?

[MeatAx3]

Yeh I love U2 but he is a knob is glasses, but why not be when your rich and constantly stoned?

[sofie146]

This song rox

[legslikelegolas]

bono is still a legend!

[ihatechriss]

That is fucking brilliant, just BRILLIANT.

[chasersrock]

genius

[chasersrock]

Brilliant

[MimiGilmoreSnFan]

took me a while to realise it was chris ahha!

[bellynda1]

Why does reading these comments make me feel like I am living in a country full of Paris Hiltons and Beyonces, there is a lot said about Muslim women but at least they value intelligence and education over beauty and brainless slutiness.

[kittymz]

Uh.

What the fuck has that to do with anything?

[elizawitheddy]

EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING

[MAXKORN1]

What's so wrong with Bono? He's just a man who's trying to do some good with the position he's in. Yeah, he may have an ego, but what rock star doesn't?

[step13step]

lol. omg at 1:51...hehe. but wow! i thought people'd be like "oh geez, shut up" (to me)

[MAXKORN1]

prove it

[xCarDirntx]

lmao omg i wish iwas thaT CHICK chris kissed... dude that is ssooooo funny

[Shanno45]

this song is so funny, and it's true, bono is a nob

[elbowpudding]

bono is a legend!!!

[123chicken321]

just to clear a few things up here: chris taylor wrote the lyrics. they had a cover band record the lyrics in a studio so this aint actually chris's voice. on the dvd commentary track, they said that andrew wanted nothing to do with this sketch because hes a huge u2 fan. yes, bono is a nob!. and, no offence to chas, but no i dont think hes hot!! tayls on the other hand, is looking pretty damn sexy in leather! :p

[step13step]

gah! not trying to be the stupid fan girl but how hot is chas!?!?!?!?

[andrewbrownster2]

I love this song, its hilarious!

[rachilee19]

Yay...go Chaser Boys tney Rock...i dont want them to go to jail...all they did was make the Apec more interesting...lol

[rachilee19]

Yay the chaser is back on no more repeats...im so happy...im so happy

[FusionStudios]

I'll upload some more cool snippets soon

[yazza27]

this definitly has to be one of the chaser's best music spoofs! the lyrics, lip synching and signature Bono moves are all spot on. the hand gestures at the end of the clip are a cracker!

[TheFanny]

I can't put to words how much I love Chris! He is just brilliant!

[foylepher]

its hard to lip sink that fast

[ShckJok]

No need to lip sync really, as he could have sung the song and then have the audio removed and replaced with aother audio track (But I suppose that is lip sync'ing)

[foylepher]

that U2 cover band sounds just like U2

[inirapsag1]

um that "band" is most likely the solo talents of andrew hansen.

[SofiaK102]

not in this song dilhole

[katiewoman]

OK, to all people who think that is Tails singing... It's not. It's a u2 tribute band!

And the only reason Andrew didn't do this clip was because he's a huuge u2 fan.

thankyou.

And thank god for DVD commentary:)

[waroneverything]

i agree, at least u listen to the commentry its awsome

[Dashou4]

yeah

[rachilee19]

Craig is hot in this but i like it better when he is smiling

[Dashou4]

mmmm craig and andrew agree dakota :P

[HappySounds]

Was this the episode where Andrew was in hospital??

[honeybflie]

LMAO!!! ohh my gawd... thats fucking hilarious! man they're good. love em.

[CrazyHalfUkie]

Brill comedy-wise as is the course, but got to echo callmepsycho and give props to the very nice and melodic voice.

[callmepsycho]

Surprisingly good voice... he should consider ditching the chaser and using that voice.

[remoman]

jeez they did a good job on this!!

[ChasersRok]

oooh you're nice!

[ChasersRok]

yeeess chris sung it! i mean i am a massive andrew fan but gawd he was hot in this....shame that andrew was too sick to do it cos well he would have made it even more steamy...siiighs i should really stop annoying people and posting comments on every single chasers vid i can find haha

[PowerHold666]

Uhh, yeah. Probably.

[katiewoman]

I post comments on all Chasers Videos too, Don't feel too bad... We can be obsessive together hehe...

[ChasersRok]

Haha yes we will annoy the innocent people by attacking vids! Hehe it is not my fault if I have lots of opinions...even if they are just 'sighs he looks so great in this'...anyways what was I saying?

[ShckJok]

Andrew wouldn't have passed for bono

[fiw06]

I am a big U2 fan. But i thought this was hilarious!

[Emilyrose96]

I love how Chas so obviously isn't playing guitar. His fingers aren't even moving on the neck of the thing. HEH.

ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS CLIP. Perfect. Chris is a genius. He wrote/sung it. WOOT!

[sascommando247]

Nice work by the Chaser boys.

Fuck US comedy, its just not funny anymore.

(Except for Family Guy)

Bono is such a nub.

[aldakhoshaba]

OMG! CiscoJP how can u say that, i love chasers esp. Chris ...god yeah anytime anywhere

[nerdgurus]

chasers r da bomb! yay ha ha beautiful parody! suk crap bono! ha!

[katiewoman]

Hey, does anyone know who actually sang this? I know it's the chasers... But was it chris? Or did they get someone else to do it?

Other than that... It's fantastic

[ShckJok]

Who is the blonde he kisses? Some random, cause I think I have seen her in other footage of theirs
