Rendition of Gladys Knight and The Pips' 'Midnight train to georgia' on the American Idol season finale, with The Pips being Robert Downey Jr, Jack Black and Ben Stiller
I have watched this countless times over the last 14 years since it was first posted. To me, the funniest thing about this whole video is Gladys Knight desperately trying NOT trying to crack up at their antics and perform the song. There is one point where she almost looses it - the huge smile and laughing eyes before the recovery and singing the next verse. Comedy at its funniest.
Today, I found this clip. Quickly, I shared this with my daughter. Within 5 minutes, I received a call from her. She was laughing and crying. I cold barely understand her. I did recognize “ Pips”. This made our day. Thank you.
This was from the finale of season seven of American Idol. I’m fairly certain that this was around the time of Tropic thunder coming out which is why it had RDJ, Jack Black and Ben Stiller. They were absolutely hilarious, no they weren’t singing because that was a 70s variety show clip with them overlapped but as always RDJ is super cool, jack black is super weird and Ben Stiller it’s just awkward funny.
Robert Downey Jr. just oozes pip-ness......Jack Black just kinda oozes, and Ben Stiller looks like he's not too sure where he is or what he is doing! One of my all time fave vids!
ain't gonna lie.. kinda insulted that you spelled Robert's last name wrong.. "Downey" (not Downie) if you please --- otherwise, LOVE the vid with every fiber of my being!

Same
Robert Downey Jnr. - Classy soul-disco-tech-rythmic
Jack Black - Funky motherhubber
Ben Stiller - Kid just trying to fit in
One of the funniest skits of all time!!!!! Love these 3 together! Genius!

I am cracking up. Another hilarious skit check out “The Pips” without Gladys Knight on the Richard Pryor show. So funny!

I honestly think Ben was doing his “stick.” He was being the straight man . Loved it all.
RDJ disappearing is the best 😂 gets me everytime
I loved Robert Here,always remembered it but never looked on here for it.He got moves and I do believe he can sing in real life!
At 2:10 when RDJ was feeling it was the funniest part!
OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGG BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH XD the pips are fucking awesome LMAO
this very funny video,
i love robert downey jr.
Love it
as músicas antigas são as melhores
This is gold haha
I think this was in promotion of Tropic Thunder! 😂😂😂
Funny - The Pips sure look different. ☺. Is this Saturday Night LIVE???. Must have been fun doing this skit.
I hope in the far future that this is watched and someone states that they are the actual “Pips”
Jack Black moves better than anyone including the Pips
i'm a male, i'm straight, i swear i am, but i would do dirty things to Robert Downey Jr.
Goodbye gladys.
man pickup the chair and get outta here
I watched the original version from 1974 on “The Midnght Special”. This group are better dancers. 😉
RDJ! XD Love it! Are they actually singing?
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
