The Pips: Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So true! Living the dream!

😂😂😂😍😍😍😍😍 but of course 😊🙂

😂 😂 😂❤

He has always been one 😎🇳🇱👌🏾

Yeah he is, lol👍🏿

And so am I

He is the man.

Who wouldn't.

We all should.

The young gentlemen did awesome too.

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.

True indeed

Beautiful lady and beautiful voice.

Gorgeous voice!!

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!!

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 RU-vid who don't make me feel like an idiot while you correct me. Thank you :-)

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

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

🤣😆

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

I'm not sure if you have ever come across this live concert with Gladys and a few others but mercy, what a voice! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yOSnUmLt5VQ.html&ab_channel=FaulFerkel

@@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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HMjNJ89jXDA.html&ab_channel=PeterMichaelEscovedo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AkSDmQlrwYQ.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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.😁😁

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

Period.

Still beautiful

It's the effortlessness of it

Totally Agree ! Ever

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!🙂🙂

Pure Gold...love it!

🎯

He sings too, obviously. LOL (Tenacious D)

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

Gladys is 10 times better than Aretha Franklin by a long shot.😘

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 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

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!

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😄

Hello Pamela, How are you doing?

Yep! One of the greatest vocalist of all time and she is so effortless.

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!

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.

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

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 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.

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.

So smooth

YEP!!!! HES THE BEST!! GOOD!!

😍😍

Yes he does!

Love Jack Black 💖

"..... what a killer song that was!" IS‼️😆

Absolutely.

For sure. So happy to hear Gladys

I agree that voice of hers is subliminally

Yeah love the dynamics, ben plays it awkward, jack plays it super enthusiastic, and rdj plays it smooth

Right on - oh that is why RDJ disappeared! 😂

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.

@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!

Perfectly summarized 🤘🏼

I know it's like Goldilocks' porridge.

Jack Black, got the mooooves

Gladys Knight and the Pigs

you bet :)

my thoughts exactly ! And there's a 3 years gap !

Jack Black always adds joy to every performance.

Who underrated her?

omg hahaha

nokiahmotorz01 Ha ha ha ha ha hee hee heee hee okay!

Ha, ha...

😂😂😂

no he left to do some blow.

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

frozen, not froze

Flourish is the word 🤣🤣🤣

Geesh stop it do u really believe she was on stage with them ? This was edited to make it look real cant u tell?
