Jack Black looks like he's been waiting his whole life to be a pip lmaooooo 😑😭😆😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So true! Living the dream!
😂😂😂😍😍😍😍😍 but of course 😊🙂
😂 😂 😂❤
He has always been one 😎🇳🇱👌🏾
Jack Black is genuinely enjoying himself like a grown child.
Yeah he is, lol👍🏿
And so am I
He is the man.
Who wouldn't.
We all should.
Her voice is unreal! What a talent ❤
The young gentlemen did awesome too.
Everyone is enthralled by Jack Black's over the top enthusiastic dancing, but
it's Robert Downey Jr that actually nails the choreography.
Smooth and has the wrist flicks down pat. Impressive.
I thought he was the worst of the 3...
@@TheBeelzboss Then you have never seen a Motown group. I've seen live in 1967/68 .. The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Five Satins, The Barons, Gene Chandler and RDJ could have danced with anyone one of them. They would have asked Jack to leave the stage. He got away with it here because it wasn't a serious take.
He sings pretty good too like Jack Black, the odd one out was Ben.
Yes! He was a smooth operator!
@@kensolar69My thoughts exactly. Downey had the moves down pat! As you say he could literally be hired to dance on stage with this performance. Every move was deliberate but natural. He clearly knows how to groove.
Btw I’d kill to have seen those Motown groups! I’m seeing Buddy Guy next week.
The most beautiful part of this video is gladys Knight voice
True indeed
Beautiful lady and beautiful voice.
Gorgeous voice!!
I never get tired of Jack Black’s enthusiasm for life.
I don't wanna know anyone that would! 😉
I couldn’t agree more!! His mood is my daily mood goals! 😂
Downy lookin all extra smooth lol
Jack is hilarious 😆
Jack Black is awesome!!
You can see Mr Downey is a dancer from how smooth this motions are.
Gladys Knight is a voice for the ages.
RDJ has some serious unmatched cool rhythm and nails the vibe. Jack Black is his usual over the top amazing self. Poor Ben Stiller can barely march to the beat. This is gold.
It's 2021 & CZcams just decided to recommend me this video. No complaints here!
Same here! Had a much-needed laugh.
Me too! Too funny!!
Love it. We were doing this with our choir and had so much fun and a lot more damage with the moves...😂😂😂
Can’t stop watching!
Same, needed the laugh lol
Not enough comments about the gorgeous magnificence of Miss Gladys here. So damn good.
Beautiful
Gladys is fabulous.
You could tell so many times SHE wanted to laugh and yet she held it together like the queen BOSS she is!! Love this!
@@trenae77 you know that's footage of her from years and years ago. They edited out the real pips, and edited in Jack Black Ben Stiller, and Robert Downey Jr. She wasn't really there with them at all. The original footage was her real background singers
@@RTDavis0503 No I did not because I'm a dork but I should have realized. Which makes me grateful for gracious people like you on CZcams who don't make me feel like an idiot while you correct me. Thank you :-)
I love how Ben has little to no rhythm but doing his best, Jack dances too hard with slightly better rhythm than Ben and is having a great time, and Robert Downery Jr. has the cool dude swagger and rhythm thing going on lol.
You nailed it.
Facts… 😂
Oh come on Jack was playing for laughs, he stole the show!
That's because RDJ is a method actor who actually used the infinity time stone to travel back in time to become the 4th Pip with Gladys Knight for 3 months so he would execute flawlessly in this 4 minute sketch. What dedication to his craft.
Ben did not look comfortable
My speculation:
Robert Downey = Memorized it and nailed the cues
Jack Black = Looks like he improvised the whole thing
Ben Stiller = Looks like he is just as surprised as we are, that he is there.
🤣😆
Ben Stiller can’t dance. You either can or you can’t. He tried, but he’s so clunky.
I think its more accurate to say :
RDJ: Trying his best not to burst out laughing:
These three comedic geniuses know that sometimes the best comedy is the contrast: so if Jack is going all out one of them has to be reserved to make it really pop:
If you look early on RDJ was improvising as well: but also Ben stiller did the same: almost taking turns with RDJ being the "serious" or base contrast while the others popped.
@freakjob0 Jack Black is such a gag. He can't help himself going over the top, to entertain and get a laugh. Ben dances like his Dad, Jerry Stiller, rip.
you nailed it bro. LOL
OMG Gladys Knight can sing, nobody sounds like that anymore. She's was so pretty too,
I'm not sure if you have ever come across this live concert with Gladys and a few others but mercy, what a voice!

@@shamanbeartwo3819 Thank you for this ♥️
@@lf1496 - :)) Don't thank me, thank B.B. and his friends. I have been listening to Gladys since the 60's and when I heard her sing her first two notes in this performance, I remember thinking, "Woman, you have been holding out on us all these years!" But you're right, we don't hear very many bona-fide singers anymore. But every once in a while, I come across a head turner.

czcams.com/video/AkSDmQlrwYQ/video.html&ab_channel=Night%26DayNetworkLLC (here is a gal messing around singing in her living room with NO room treatment, no EQ, no compression, no mics and all recorded on a phone. DAMN!!)
Her voice is unexplainably beautiful...texture tone just rich in tone! There’s a soulful warmth about her and the voice!! Loving her voice!
She is!
Gladys Knight's smooth as silk vocals NEVER disappoint..! She's the Princess of her genre... SO amazing! I could listen to her all day...
Jack black vocals are better. She sound like every other black soul singer back in day, but Jack black sounds like a original rock superstar.
@@krissanders987 You better check yourself son
Her honorific title in music is actually ‘Empress of Soul’ but 100% agree with how talented she is 🎉
@@krissanders987Tell us u know nothing about music without telling us u know nothing about music
Gladys Knight sure is! Knowing what was going on behind her but not keeping herself professional!
I was really surprised at how smooth Robert Downey Jr was in his dancing. He could have been a real PIP if that acting thing had not worked out for him.
He played Chaplin. Chaplin was called "the fucking dancer" by one of his contemporaries. Chaplin was a master at rhythm and body movement, so if RDJ could play Chaplin it's because he has that in him.
@@mercelo6882That's right. I forgot about that.
Jack Black was what I expected. Ben Stiller -- If Blue Steel was a choreo, you nailed it. Robert Downey Jr -- you got the job.
A night watch guard, a panda, and iron man decide to form a band...
An action star, method actor, and the guy that does fart jokes
*A Musuem Night Guard, a Private School Music Teacher & Iron Man
I must be old. All I see are a braces wearing nerd whose in love, one half of a bad ass comedy rock duo, and a cool LA junkie from the 80s.
R.A. Vee WOW!😲🤭. That’s really how you feel?! That’s so mean, to ALL of them. They are so much more than their mistakes or failures. Like EVERYONE. Isn’t that true of you? You may not have used drugs or had a talent some ppl don’t appreciate (fair enough), but you’ve made mistakes. You’ve embarrassed yourself in front of someone. You’ve turned in the wrong direction a time or 2, right? We’re all just human, trying to figure this experiment (experience) out. No one person, org, or body has all the answers. Even the Bible warns us not to delve too deeply into spiritual things, trying to find answers. They don’t want us to know some things. I hate that, but it is what it is. I just think you shouldn’t disparage someone who hasn’t personally harmed you or your loved ones🤷🏽♀️.
@@novice5895 I don't think any harm was meant. Most of us are naming their movie roles, except for the Robert Downey junkie part but still I don't think any harm was meant. He was known for that for a while lol.
My answers are the correct ones btw 😁 It's their Tropic Thunder roles, which I'm assuming this was a promotion for.
The fact all 3 of them knew the song and did this shows a lot of respect they had for her
I feel like they grew up watching and singing along..
We don't know that all of them knew the song before they rehearsed the performance. They probably _did_ know it as it is a popular song, but seeing them perform it doesn't prove they had a lot of respect for Gladys. Just a silly statement that assumes a bit too much.
@@mikejohnson3338 yeah it's kind of an odd statement lol.
No offence to her may be they had respect for her! but they did it as a promotional activity for their film tropic thunder!!
They grew up on her music lol. For them, this is the Horses In The Back Can’t Tell Me Nothing song by that flamboyant rapper
RDJ: I can't help but be cool
JB: I can't help but have fun
BS: I can't help but look awkward
RDJ nailed this and looks like a real Pip or Motown background singer! This guy is so talented.
This is why I love Robert Downy Jr. Look at him he cool as Ice! He could have actually been a pip 😂🤷♀️
Right
RD is a huge talent - he can do ANYTHING
I didn't expect anything less, knew RDJ was gonna kill it.
He's been dripping sauce since forever lol
Very cool and smooth with it.
He sure could.😁😁
Robert was to cool for school..... Jack .....I can't with his silly self..... Poor Ben ..... Stiffer than a board..... Lol.... All in all I loved it.....Mother Gladys makes everyone look Amazing....
Don't let Ben stiller fool you I'm pretty sure he's been in professional dance competitions. He does his dancing in stuff like along came Polly where he salsa dances
Ben Stiffer. 🤣
Ben may be a bit stiff, but note his subtle eye play.
I said the same about Robert. He was actually not too bad!🙂🙂
Can we just talk about RDJ?! He’s like “I was born for this”! Lol. I knew he was cool, but the rhythm tho! He was on point! Jack is so Jack 😂 living his best life.
Oh how I adore Gladys ! No one sings like her. Always been beautiful inside and out and STILL the best soul singer ever.
Period.
Still beautiful
It's the effortlessness of it
Totally Agree ! Ever
I know this is being played for laughs, but can we just talk about how Jack is killing the choreography?
Absolutely killin it!
He looks crazy.🤪
And Ben Stiller is so stiff and nerdy in his moves. Lol
He is❤❤❤❤
Yes he is and Ben Stiller should never dance again
the introvert, the extrovert and the classy-kind of humor... this is gold! Great performance by Gladys!
Pure Gold...love it!
🎯
Jack Black dancing like he really needs the job, RDJ dancing like he knows he can't get fired, Ben dancing like he's just happy to be there.
Even with all the shenanigans going on behind her I couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful and immensely talented Miss Gladys Knight. What an extraordinarily talented vocalist.
Jack Black was putting it down, though. He can dance. He was actually enjoyable to watch.
He sings too, obviously. LOL (Tenacious D)
I love how they dance reflects the characters they usually portray.
Ben stiller : awkward white man dance
Jack black : crazy over the top antics
RDJ : smooth suave playboy
Lol
the best back up ever hzhzhsh
Indy Solo Oh gosh! Yes it does!
Exactly! Lotta people didn't catch that and are complaining, but that's exactly what it was, their usual characters!
Awkward white man dance 🤣🤣
Rdj has soul ni. Remember Hearts and Souls? My fav of his
Absolutely loved the whole Pips impersonation... Loved that they each had a style of their own but that Downy jr was the coolest of all! 😍
I know I'm not the first to say this but DAMN, CAN THAT LADY FUCKING SING! The true Queen of Soul if there has ever been one. I'm no soul expert but I don't think there are many singers that can even come close to this amount of talent.
Gladys is 10 times better than Aretha Franklin by a long shot.😘
So Ben stiller had no rhythm whatsoever, Jack black was giving it his all lol, and Robert Downey Jr was to cool for it! Lol I love this
Calm down he ain't gonna shag you for this comment
This exemplifies their personalities so well.
Took a lot of guts for these guys, but WOW they are great. RDJ COULD BE A PIP! How in the world did Glagys Knight get through this performance without hysterical laughter. She's definitely a PRO!
Sho you right Ben was a rhythmless nation kinda like my boys don't believe the hype all black people do not have natural rhythm
LOL
RDJ keeping it classy AF
RDJ is just the dude playin' a dude, playin' another dude. He's GREAT!
If he showed up in that suit at the gas station I would still take him in the bathroom for a romp...
@@RoxieMarquez_marroxeli Hell. Yes.
He’s fine as shit now
Gladys is such a beautiful woman, and that angelic voice....🥰 Loved this.
I love all three of them. And Glady's. Adorable. Beautiful. God bless them all. And Mr. Downy is trying so hard not to burst out into laughter, while dancing next to Jack.
Lol I agree and Ben stillers expression is priceless and hilarious ( well actually all three)!
On the second time I watched it, I paid more attention to Gladys and how she almost lost it a couple of times and finally did at the end. Love her!
These three need to make more movies together. I never realized they had so much chemistry.
Like Tropical Thunder....
Ernestas Shield* Tropic Thunder
He said MORE movies, you dunderhead.
@@CinnamonToast_Crunch_is_GOATED dunderhead lol
This comment section is too funny😄
Robert has so much swag, Jack is living his best life, and Gladys is such a beautiful woman so gifted & talented, I had the pleasure of meeting her she is one of a kind 💜
Hello Pamela, How are you doing?
Yep! One of the greatest vocalist of all time and she is so effortless.
RDJ has got swagger for days. He's just so cool all the time. This is why he's been my "boyfriend in my head" ever since Weird Science. Even in Back to School where he played the dork of all dorks, he was still the coolest.
Omg I loved his character in back to school!!! It was the equivalent to Jon cryer’s role as Ducky
He's one of my imaginary boyfriends, too! Jack Black is another one.
Sounds like you would be his perfect match👍
RDJ is so my boyfriend. (In my head movies, of course.) Even when he was running amok, falling asleep on rooftops and getting arrested he was lovable. Now that he's sober and fit AF he's sexier than ever. He has a joie de vivre and brains for days. I don't need to tell you ladies. I'm glad this video found its way into my feed. Gladys sounds phenomenal and JB and RDJ can actually sing (maybe Stiller can, too - I can't recall if I've heard him), but RDJ has the smooth moves and the lean physique of a Pip. Damn can he wear a suit!
RD CLEARLY knows how to dance....hence the smaller steps. So nice to watch
Admit it. We all want to be Pips. Coolest occupation ever, am I right?
So true! I have been in choir for years. Occasionally the choir director will ask if anyone wants to do a solo. I always say, "No. I just want to be a Pip."
You left out the M
Can I be the bass player for The Temptations? I wanna be the guy who wrote the baddest and simplest bass line in history.
Seriously my mom trying to explain to a 7-8 year old girl in late 70's why she can't grow up to be a Pip.
Just found this, hilarious. Jack always wanted to be a pip, Ben wants folks to know he tried and Robert is just so cool, he got this, lol.
Jack Black understands the assignment, every time
I have no idea how this came about, but we need more of this in the world today!! Still laughing at this!! Thank you, you wonderful gentleman who share your talents with all of us!!
Hi Tiffany!👋🇦🇺 I agree!! I watch this occasionally & I love it every time!! Pure happiness! 💕🇦🇺💃
Is it some kind of tropic thunder promo?????
@@toddg1322yeah, it was on an American Idol finale
RDJ looks like he’s been doing this for years. He’s got moves.
Don't understand the jack black hate, I think he's killing it here
He over plays it to draw attention to himself - to some of us that's just obnoxious. Stiller wasn't much better looking like a deer caught in headlights. RDJ stole the show - the man CAN swing those hips.
Jack can dance
@@SueFo64 you never heard Jack sing. Steal nothing.
... you do realize this was scripted and rehearsed between the three of them, right? They’re playing it that way on purpose.
Jack Black is perfect
I've been a bit depressed lately but just watching this video alleviated a lot of it. Thank you, Jack, Ben, and Robert. I can't begin to describe how much I needed to laugh that much, especially when Robert disappeared and Jack went looking for him and returned with his pants half off. My eyes teared up in laughter.
I've probably watched this 100 times and still laugh every single time! Definitely a mood booster 🤣
@@murphey104 It most definitely is a "mood booster". Thank you for the comment.
I hope you’re feeling better these days (hugs)
Hope you are feeling better. Sometimes talking to someone about anything helps at least a little. Will pray for you.
Ben is committed to the bit (even though he doesn't quite get it), Jack is happy to be involved, and RDJ is too cool.
All three of these guys are adorable and talented. Ben has no rhythm, Jack is a big kid and Robert is there because he’s cool. Their bow ties were hilarious 😂.
I honestly would be willing to pay just to see a sitcom with these three.
O dear goodness, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Well, there’s Tropic Thunder.
@@t.a.p.3801 Good point! I also forgot that they were all in Tropic Thunder. Lol
Going across the country solving mysteries, plenty of guest stars and music montages? Sign me up!
@@LoveHappinessShineOn they did this as part of promoting Tropic Thunder at the time. So.
I have always loved Gladys Knights music. Really takes me back. 😊❤ What a talented woman.
Robert Downey Jr. has a lot of soul!
This is hilarious! On a real note... Robert Downey got the smooth moves.
So smooth
YEP!!!! HES THE BEST!! GOOD!!
😍😍
Yes he does!
Love Jack Black 💖
Robert was killing it,smooth.
Through the laughter one might forget just how wonderful a song this is, and what a great performance by Gladys.
RDJ proving he's a smooth operator there...
Everything aside it makes you realize what a killer song that was!
"..... what a killer song that was!" IS‼️😆
Absolutely.
For sure. So happy to hear Gladys
The Real Pips would have laughed so hard and Gladys Knight has a sense of humor, this was funny
😂😂
Gladys is incredible! What a voice!! ❤️
It's nice to see these big stars not taking themselves too seriously and having a good laugh
Gladys Knight is the epitome of soul, one of the greatest singers of all time fact.
A testament to her talent that it all looks effortless.
I agree that voice of hers is subliminally
They’re having fun .. we all should try it!!
I love that Jack is super into it, Ben is a little stiff, and RDJ is just smooth AF lol its perfect
I think Ben played the 'awkward role' on purpose. JB - too funny, RDJ - so much game and the beautiful and talented Gladys - perfect.
Yeah love the dynamics, ben plays it awkward, jack plays it super enthusiastic, and rdj plays it smooth
Cracked a rib laughing at this. Jack definitely getting into the moves, that man has come out of the womb, waiting for his moment. Ben, is like , hey man, I'm just gonna go along with this for the laughs,😂 and Robert, waking up, half way through, thinking, I'm a serious Hollywood actor, what the hell is going on? They're all amazing 😂😂😂
Right on - oh that is why RDJ disappeared! 😂
Jack Black’s pure energy and obvious love of music is just so dang infectious that as the performance goes on, it starts to positively affect Stiller and RDJ - Stiller gradually starts to let loose a bit more and gave some fun with it, and RDJ breaks his natural coolest dude onstage vibe to smirk and try suppressing a laugh at Jack’s antics. No way you can be that close to the sun of Jack Black up onstage and not feel the warmth of those rays of pure excitement and joy! Loved and needed this!
Oh, and can we talk about how Gladys is older than all of them but looks their age or even a smidge younger…? Forever gorgeous!
She’s not old here, it’s a mashup.
This is a video from 15 years ago. But Gladys will be beautiful always, because she has a beautiful soul.
Ben Stiller, no rhythm, Jack Black, playing the buffoon, and Robert Downey Jr. pure class, acting the part to perfection. Loved it!
When I was a baby, this song is the only song that would calm me down. And, 35 years later… I still LOVE it! Now, add RDJ, Jack Black and Stiller,.. this is GOLD!!! 😂🤣
*Absolute classic! Especially love Jack Black....he does have a good voice, and gets into it full steam.*
@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox About half way through I decided the three 'New Pips' 😅 were lip synching to a backing track. I assumed to the original Pips. But maybe these boys recorded some vocals ahead of time so they could concentrate on their steps!
That #GladysKnight is one gorgeous queen! Then and now. Good job guys!
Ben Stiller just looks happy to be there, Jack Black is layin it on thick, and RDJ is too cool for school. Perfection.
Robert was the cool one, Jack was the fun one and Ben is the mess of a friend we all have
Why am I blessed with this masterpiece now? 😂 I wish this trio returns again
Omg I love this. That trio was a great combo. And just for the record Gladys sang the heck out of this song back then!
Robert Downey Jr. could be a Pip.
He's pretty smooth.
He dances too little. He dances too much. HE dances juuuust right.
Perfectly summarized 🤘🏼
I know it's like Goldilocks' porridge.
Jack Black, got the mooooves
Gladys Knight and the Pigs
好き過ぎて、何回もみちゃいます。
LOL Jack Black is giving 101% to this performance. Gladys Knight's voice smooth as butter. She's gorgeous!
I can't believe I'm only just seeing this. It is brilliant.
you bet :)
my thoughts exactly ! And there's a 3 years gap !
Jack Black is so into it and I'm loving every second of it! 😆😆😆
Jack Black always adds joy to every performance.
Absolutely brilliant! All of them! Jack has some moves, Robert is smooth and Ben.... well... he tries. Gladys a fabulous singer. Lovely!
Just saw the seed of this- on an infomercial about The Flip Wilson Show! Ben, Jack and Robert did a great job "filling in" for the Pips!
Beautiful Gladys. The most underrated female singer of her time. It’s bloody criminal.
Who underrated her?
Omgosh, Ben, Jack and Robert rocked as the pips. I don't think 3 others could have pulled this off better. Too funny
This is a great example of: As individuals we are good, but collaboratively, we are extraordinarily superb!
When I'm down...I WATCH THIS!✌️
2:54 RDJ is feeling it ..HE IS FEELING IT!
Robert Downey had the most soulful moves.
As it was once said back in the day, Robert Downey Jr.'s "got it going on!" Loove it!
Wonderful to hear Gladys Knight's beautiful voice. Robert Downey is great.
RDJ left cause he was afraid he'd miss the Midnight Train to Georgia
omg hahaha
nokiahmotorz01 Ha ha ha ha ha hee hee heee hee okay!
Ha, ha...
😂😂😂
no he left to do some blow.
Jack Black is seriously the most underrated vocalist performers of our time. He’s so talented.
Stiller seems to be pleased with himself for getting the steps right.... 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I freaking love it!!!
Ben wasn't comfortable, Jack pants was falling, but IronMan Robert Downey Jr. Was actually moving tho 😂
That was hysterical! You couldn't have found 3 better Pips. I love all of them. But Jack Black was wonderful.
They are so outrageous and Gladys is just performing perfectly as always. The term “Queen” is so overused that it has lost its meaning, but she is a true Queen 👑💃🏽
Except the original Pips.
well, when RDJ stepped off screen, it went from 3 Pips to Pip Pip and a Cherio :P
Every six months or so, I need this.
Have you ever heard Gladys Knight sing Live? My mother took me to get concert, I had no Idea.... To hear her live, well worth it. I had no idea. Her voice is very strong, beautiful!!! I had no idea until I heard her live. I was froze at her concert, her voice is beautiful. I'm telling you, she has a very strong and powerful voice. No comparison to any other.
frozen, not froze
So fun! You can tell Ben is just robotically going through the steps he practiced. Meanwhile Jack's every move is made with some sort of flourish as if he's trying to make up for Ben. And RDJ looks so sexy his every move says Bow-chicka-wow-wow.
Flourish is the word 🤣🤣🤣
I'm in tears watching this and the fact that she's able to hold it together and sing is a testament to her amazing ability
Geesh stop it do u really believe she was on stage with them ? This was edited to make it look real cant u tell?
@@anthonytaylor7928 ok captain obvious
