"We're the Flaming Lips. Heard of us much? Thought so." Oh my God.

[@struanthomson1855]

"And he's a great singer, just what the Flaming Lips need" Low-key shots fired

[@delilasloan9311]

...don't forget more indie cred...I caught that also and noticed wayne just nodding and agreeing

[@thereisnocontenthere]

Well it's official now, Flaming Lips need to play more Krautrock

[@runedudez]

Who B'stank why is nobody talking about Neu?!

[@iamhereblossom1588]

Electric Wurm was kinda krautrock

[@muel1405]

man no shite eh?!?

[@MeMeMcsplosion]

Theres krautrock all over embryonic tho

[@acidBONEZ]

Go listen to embryonic. You should get your fill.

[@BigBillBeats]

Lol, Wayne can't stop laughing

[@notforone]

I love that Coldplay is its own genre 😂

[@trevorneil3954]

that krautrock part kinda go hard...

[@finndaly2789]

Trevor Neil was awesome

[@williamepperson3443]

No shit!

[@shotguncitysunshine9026]

lmao coldplay fred and the flaming lips are so awesome

[@SunnyBear]

[@patylombard6991]

Fred Armisen can do anything. And he does. Brilliantly.

[@danmaftei7633]

Omg that was some truly amazing krautrock! Love his movements and the lyrics :D 40/40 would listen to a full version

[@Jack_all]

Fred Armisen is a better rockstar than most actual rock stars..

[@brandonshaw7619]

Cause he is a true rock star df

[@byHexted]

I’m sure he loves having been in a band on the cusp of making it for like ten years and then being called not an actual rock star, yeah he’s not a STAR but he’s a huge rock and punk head

[@jestondulin1154]

Never realized before how much Wayne Coyne looks like Beetlejuice.

[@CuriousCritter17]

Because he doesn’t 😅😂

[@Allias_TheToon]

My first gig was busking with a buddy of mine in flaming lips alley behind the redhawks Stadium

[@theactorjohnlarroquette]

The idea of Wayne Coyne showing another singer “how it’s done” is funny enough to be its own sketch

[@1ambad]

i don't get it

[@theactorjohnlarroquette]

@@1ambad he sucks!

[@Jay_Reacts_REAL]

Because Wayne really can't sing, especially not live (and I fucking love the Flaming Lips)@@1ambad

[@theekopper]

Every time I think about getting a haircut, I just look at pics of Wayne Coyne.

[@thomasdupont7186]

2:36 I know it's a classic but that shot where he starts to worry is just great😂

[@KyaraExMachina]

Wayne Coyne looks like the Mad Scientist from the opening credits of Robot Chicken!

[@mrheem44]

i like the two-tone lips they're........one step beyond!

[@user-oi6gr8xw9h]

mrheem44 he should've said pick it up pick it up 😄

[@johnnyscifi]

On the bbc

[@randomsummergirl]

I know they were poking fun at coldplay but I really liked the music they were playing while imitating them, i wish it was longer!

[@frankbombaci4977]

Flaming Lips X Coldplay was so accurate 😂

[@jordanlewis287]

Wayne coyne is just having too much fun in this lmaoo

[@eduardorivera4343]

Am I mistaken when I say this might be the funnest thing I've seen in a while!

[@julius7801]

I swear Fred’s guitar changes every time I watch this

[@watashiwanachodes]

God, I have such a man crush for Wayne. He looks so handsome in a suit. hahahaha

[@delilasloan9311]

He's glorious

[@athena123456789]

Laughing so hard! Love it!!! The Flaming Lips are very special to us. We have enjoyed their concerts. Our son enjoyed the "premiere" of their film Christmas on Mars at Wayne's house. Some neighbor kept calling the police. LOL

[@ruthiemay423]

I thought he pretty much owns the whole neighborhood.

[@samreilly4360]

Best gig Fred's ever had.

[@Randrew]

Eh? He's played drums for DEVO. Damn fine job of it too.

[@nsrlegaltech]

Fred we all love you of course. Genius.

[@Denim9330]

Fred Armisen is a national treasure

[@Angel5451]

I am so in love with Fred Armisen.

[@tiff7880]

Same!!

[@arcticterror]

damn that 12string SG that's actually a double neck but the bottom neck and guitar parts are gone is dope as fuck

[@Ali-kp7bh]

WHOA

[@EarthtonesCymbals]

The multi-dimensional concept is truly powerful, yet extremely subtle and has such an appeal to a great diversity of listeners, yet somehow maintains its own unique isolation from anyone or anything. These qualities and characteristics will solidify a huge fan base while alienating the majority of potential followers.

[@byHexted]

I used to listen to that album so much

[@EvilDude1]

Lol, Coldplay is genre now? XD

[@light_and_sound]

Haha

[@bonabellbitties9276]

also known as boring radiohead

[@bphcx]

I don't know if it is a band honestly

[@charlie.something]

the first two rows! ha. fantastic. fred is amazing.

[@Trouble-Clef]

Flaming lips one day I WILL see you live!!

[@memonk11]

The Coldplay part really got me.

[@preston1642]

memonk11 is that an actually song

[@quinncooper1643]

the kraut was actually sick

[@Randrew]

No worries. He took an antacid and felt better soon after.

[@quinncooper1643]

@@Randrew nerd

[@NosDarkly]

I guess the Flaming Lips are FoD's resident band now.

[@AdamKadmon37]

dude's hair is amazing

[@coolkid1597]

hey, I get it, I'm a professional, you know?

[@notkredep]

The - Hey, can I keep the guitar I'm just kidding around - timing though

[@pandapower5902]

dude's expressions were the best

[@muzeam13hunter62]

Whose this sappy springling in the background with moist eyes...cracking me up! lol

[@worrywirt]

ZPH SpearHead sappy springling would be a good band name 😂

[@Freetolicious]

The Bossa Nova was awesome

[@gufftones]

brilliant!

[@tomsenft7434]

Those Flaming Lips are pretty good. I hope they get a big break, thanks to Frank Armitage..

[@Zoofactory]

I’m convinced Wayne Coyne and the good Dr. Jordan Peterson share the same tailor.

[@nothingshouldbewithouteffort]

Men with distinction. 🧐

[@deliriumdelightdream]

Nice catch lol...

[@slayerrules5944]

good band, they can jam in any style they want.

[@hnybrr]

This was special

[@MrUndersolo]

I recognize that manager from "Man Seeking Woman".

[@elizabethbennet4791]

omg so good

[@colinr4860]

*ROCK AND ROLL, ROCK AND ROLL!*

[@gilwood7530]

Still one of the greatest bands ... Something for every mood !

[@spicecrop]

There is no problem more cowbell can't cure.

[@moisesolivares3002]

Haha the skank dance was gold

[@jayburgin3912]

What is the name of the actor that is the band manager?

[@215Gallagher]

Worst career move of The Flaming Lips was to keep Coyne instead of replacing him with Fred.

[@delilasloan9311]

Coldplay is now a style of music like jazz or ska...lol

[@profile2047]

Does anyone have any info on that double neck sg that’s missing a neck. What the heck.

[@losfeliz3421]

haha yesss

[@SailorMoonUniverse]

OMG! It's Fred Armisen

[@TyrantTitan.]

2:10 HAHAHALLKLMFAO

[@kaedenkeates1600]

Glad I'm not the only person who thinks the krautrock part slaps

[@seancassidy674]

total Neu! motorik beat mixed with Kraftwerk parody vocals

[@Lori-lp6uc]

Fred only plays with the best!

[@ehrichweiss]

When I started listening to the Flaming Lips in 1988, almost nobody had heard of them. A year later they played a local club that only held 300 people at best, and now you would have a hard time fitting their fans into an arena. How times have changed.

[@daniwind2598]

What the first song?

[@delilasloan9311]

Yoshimi battles the pink robots I think

[@banthedrays]

Funny or die? Cmon

[@JacksonMerril16]

WHERES Shawn?

[@jameswayne8256]

The funniest part is Wayne trying his hardest to look like an asshole. XD Sorry bud, you’re too good for this world!!

[@zachsmith3]

1:21 here you go

[@henchmanb]

LOL "coldplay"

[@Skrenja]

Shure sm7b's that's whatsup.

[@YourStoryTeam]

Did I just see coldplay?

[@11cylynt11]

That band manager dude looks like Woody from Toy Story.😅

[@SkullCraker01]

WTF. I SAW THAT GUY TODAY IN MODERN FAMILY !

[@leeannasloan2292]

Its official...the new flamming lips needs to play more coldplay

[@DavidHaydenFreeThinker]

Lol, John Daly skankin.

[@TyrantTitan.]

That guy looks like Woody from Toy Story lmao

[@crawdadds]

I recommend Fred try out to be the second drummer like in Allman Brothers

[@BosleyBeats]

HAH!

[@h1de]

Hahahaha Coldplay!!

[@alextorres7655]

Lol at coldplay

[@kiannaloveh]

He actually did really good👊

[@franconius85]

portland aproves

[@chriscollins343]

Krautrock lol

[@JohnDoe-bw3tz]

There's a double neck with just one neck.

[@degi2446]

I got a fevah ... and the only prescription is ... more Krautrock

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

Wayne has hair only a nuclear physicist should have...

[@RyanMichero]

The kind of sad part is that Fred spent years trying and failing to be as indie-rockstar-famous as Wayne and is probably still jealous.

[@jaybone23]

Wayne...that's some head o' hair. Love the Lips. Why is Wayne making nice with the governor of Oklahoma though?

[@delilasloan9311]

The business man is right though...the flaming lips do need more indie credentials and a great singer....they need way more of that!!!! Lol

[@kamuelalee]

Coldplay...LOL

[@BrianBattles]

Maybe instead of a band, they should have a car wash or a tobacco shop.

[@jasonthefates7311]

Stupid a good stupid. Meaning yes it's funny and besides I didn't want to meet death

[@gawdspeed]

the flaming lips members made this worth watching but this skit's brand of humor does absolutely nothing to me.

[@chaseg8883]

I’m think Sam Rockwell could totally pass...
