HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I haven't seen anything this funny since I watched Monty Python's Life Of Brian in a local theater the weekend it was released (1979?)!

Is this clip taken from a Comedy Central TV special? It's a rip-roaring, side-splitting laugh-a-thon!



What do you mean that it is NOT supposed to be funny? There is no possible way...or is there?

He looks fake, like an Abe Lincoln animatronic or something. Very weird. But I'd have to pick Billy Mack's "Christmas Is All Around" over this.

I'm guessing the vid director kept telling him to "Smile!" It looks kind of forced. Did you check out the other one? I kept expecting him to break out into,

"It's a nice day for a...

White Christmas..."

Good lord! I was pretty surprised when I read the press on the album coming out, but that video really puts it over the top.

It will be quite a hoot watching Billy Idol work his way to releasing his take on the Great American Songbook, a la Rod Stewart. We can't be that far away from it.
