Bennie and the Jets

[@TamayoMeri]

GENUINELY feel this from the bottom of my soul. bennie and the jets only comes on the radio specifically when im either dissociating or having a panic attack. theres no ifs ands or buts. its like the song that plays when i die and respawn like the character natasha lyonne plays in Russian Doll

[@ghoulstreet]

Um, you just said it perfectly. There is no better way to describe dissociation.

[@EdwardNOJacobYES]

This is my favourite comment ever

[@nickreynolds9745]

[@gutar5675]

Not to alarm you, but you're probably going to have a lot of panic attacks in the next few months now that the new movie is out

[@TamayoMeri]

Senor Studly oh dude you have no idea how glad i am that i don't have cable service or like to see big hollywood movies a whole lot lol. bennie and the jets playing frequency is directly proportional to the amount of acute stress in my life

[@addama]

This song was his way of letting us know who kidnapped him. The repetitions and changes in the tune, when decoded, gives an address. There, we will find the real Elton John, locked up for decades.

[@thisisanexonym]

gimme that address b o i

[@brennens8849]

this is peak physical comedy

[@platystrophia]

YES!

[@KateCarew]

I’m always so impressed by his physical prowess!! His words and delivery are amazing as well but his physicality takes everything to the next level of hilarity.

I had to click off my previous Chris Fleming video, to watch this new one

[@Flemorial]

Flemming🤙

[@eloisegerard1888]

Saw this live in Seattle, we sat in the second row and Chris called my brother Jiminy Cricket when Forest told him he was doing great when Chris was interacting with the audience. When Forest yelled "good bit Chris!" Chris looked at the audience and was like "did you hear what this little monster just said to me?!" It was a pure moment. Chris was so chill. This is the end of my yelp review

[@honeycomb937]

chill guy, great jokes. really enjoyable experience and i'd definitely go see a routine by him again. would give ten stars if i could! _0/5 stars_

[@awkwardghost7670]

Elton: mate, I think I've said it enough times Bernie: M O R E B E N N I E

Saw him do this bit in Austin... The commitment to it was incredible. An amazing amount of sweat was lost that night.

Such a good bit. I was there for this! The Orlando show was absolutely incredible, probably the funniest comedy show I've been to!

Idk if I've ever loved or needed a comedy skit more than this one. Bennie and the Jets is absolutely my least favorite song of all time thanks to those late nights in retail listening to BENNIE BENNIE BENNIE Thank you, Chris Fleming, thank you so much.

[@Kmeyrose]

Exactly! I already didn’t like it before I worked retail...but now? It’s been drilled into my brain lol. This bit helps make the song a little less soul-sucking.

[@roet8792]

Watching this and trying not to laugh and wake the toddler should be an Olympic sport

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

Such a master of mime and physical comedy in an unusual way. I don't know if this exactly counts as mime, but it conveys the feelings perfectly. Love it!

[@ArcticaTheFox]

When he played with his elbows and this head I LOST IT

[@lexi.cmk.turner]

SO glad this has been finally uploaded - I work in a cinema, and we've had an awful lot of Elton John on the playlist since Rocketman, and I haven't been able to shake this image since seeing Chris do it live

[@lonnyfer]

okay as someone who does thoroughly enjoy this song this was SO on point omfg

[@ripleyandweeds1288]

elton john having some malevolent force hold him hostage while he tries to end bennie and the jets has the same energy as trying to get out of a conversation while having a panic attack.

[@RenateRainbow]

This song came on at work the other day and all I could think of was this video.

[@AlexDainisPhD]

I nearly fell over from laughter in a store the other day when this song came on because all I could think of was this bit. Amazing.

[@EpiphanyDraws]

i worked at my local target as holiday staff last christmas and some sociopath put benny and the jets on the playlist (which only has about 50 songs tops, so chances were i would hear it at least once a day) and every time it came up i thought only of this bit.

[@AlineMayagoitia]

If Rocketman doesnt include this sequence im suing hollywood

[@firesparkling9370]

It didn’t. The only way Hollywood can make up for this is giving Taron an Oscar.

Watched this video this morning on Instagram and have had Bennie and the Jets stuck in my head all day... I do not regret watching this video again now because it's Chris Flemming and with watching Chris there is no regrets.

chris, i want to thank you so much for getting me into comedy. it has honestly changed my life. im so thankful :(

I got to see your show in Austin last week and I know there were some technical difficulties but I so appreciate that you took the time to fix it it was such a great show!!

[@stanconnorstan4266]

Weird. I just finished watching Teens who Drink Coffee...and you all know how that ends....coincidence? *I think not*

[@redflannelsocks2920]

I love this. This song somehow always comes on at an unnaturally high rate when I go on long road trips--it's a surreal experience

[@mandala314]

This song freaked me out so hard as a kid! I just *had* to listen all the way to the end as I gritted my teeth and my neck hairs rose up. DJs probably play it so they can take a nice long dump. I'm convinced some version of Elton is still banging away at his piano and I'm as anxious as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs

[@daybyday834]

Just saw this skit live. It's even more magical in person. 😂

[@owenherlihy]

The elbows killed me 😂

[@noahatlas5240]

i saw rocketman four times since last week, and i have NOT STOPPED THINKING ABOUT the juxtaposition between this stand up bit and the actual scene in the movie. Elton was riding a high during a drug-induced orgy and he was at the lowest point before the rocket man scene, and he was fucking miserable the entire time. watching this after knowing his state of mind...... dude im losing it

[@keatonalameda260]

W H Y IS THIS GUY SO UNDERRATED. THE FUCKING TALENT!!! G O D. I s2g no one will EVER get me to shut up about Chris Fleming 😂😂😂

This one was made when he initially got kidnapped for the production of Gnomeo and Juliet, when he wasn’t properly punished for trying to escape and didn’t know how to hold the fear inside

[@mariaseipel6295]

this sketch is also rlly funny when you compare it with rocketman. the scene with bennie and the jets is the scene of true chaos and ultimately the point where elton’s like “oh fuck i’m stuck in a loop i can’t get out of”

Despite the fade out implying the end of the song, Elton was compelled to remain for another seven hours in the studio singing about Bennie until he was forcibly removed from his piano with the aid of chloroform and a moderate dose of injected ketamine
