The most British phrase in the English language and I love it

[@JammastaJ23]

This was probably a bit of torture that Fred had to be in character and couldn't actually talk to them

[@user-rb5hw2ry3i]

He definitely talked to them outside of character, probably went out for a bite and every fing innit?

[@evrtt_trn]

waiting forty years for a Clash and Bizzaros collaboration... guess this is best we ever gonna get innit

[@electricblanket1]

Being a fan of Armisen and knowing how big of a fan he is of theirs. And The Clash being my fave band in the world I do not know how he kept a straight face.

[@heather3383]

I love the Steve Jones bits, too. So freaking funny! Did you see the SNL skit where Fred plays a dad reprising his role in a punk band/homage to his daughter’s wedding? I would actually listen to “Fist Fight in the Parking Lot” in any playlist. Dave Grohl is great in it. Up the aging punx! 🤣💖 With EVERY project Fred does (I’m just gonna call him “Fred,” because we’re hella tight, but not really. Or ever. I’m just lazy.) I’m especially dying when he taps into music genres!! He actually KNOWS the music, which makes it special and a nod to those of us who get it…”as well.” 😁

[@TheChupacabra]

Of course this is all pretense for Fred to have an excuse to hang out with the clash.

[@victoria7t]

Practice. Lots of practice.

[@martins.7060]

Mick Jones really seemed to be enjoying himself. I saw him twice, once with The Clash and once with BAD. Both shows were outstanding.

[@destineyvillegas9781]

Man fred really has great talent. I love him, he's the best

[@Hellbunnyfelicia]

I'm done!!😂 Fred Armisen is easily one of my top favorite actors. And the fact that he actually got members from The Clash, truly an honor.

[@justinmix143]

My sister was M3, the Punk Rock Queen of the Cass Corridor, keyboardist/backing vocals/whips & chains in seminal Detroit punk bank The Impaler, and 💯% the most punk spirit that ever raised hedes in its streets. She gave me The Ramones Rocket to Russia & The Clash’s Combat Rock for Christmas (1987-I was 10), and my changed life was changed forever🤘 Mostly through Steve Albini she was always a fan of great Chicago punk bands-like Fred’s band (Trenchmouth)-as well. I’ll always feel my father (bass; Springwell) and sister to be the greatest father/daughter rockers from the Midwest in rock n roll history. I’d say Rest In Peace my queen of a sister, but I know if there’s an afterlife where you’re happy and doing exactly what you want/love, then you’re obviously playing out tonight in a kick ass band. Prolly Joe and Andy Gill on guitar, Dee Dee on bass, Keef Moon on drums, and Darby Crash sharing vocals with Lux Interior. Somethin like that. So Rock TF on forever, dear sis. Love you so much 💜 🤘

[@jackdempsey9644]

The greatest British band ever IMO. Mick is the writer, Paul is the coolest looking man that ever held a bass! RIP Joe Strummer and shout out to Top. Top Band

Totally, and The Clash wasn't half bad themselves! I'm assuming you're talking about Ian Rubbish and the Bizarros of course.

[@The8347135]

Lthe Clash's Ondonc All In G is my favorite album

To play with the Clash. What an honour.

[@michellegriff13]

I'm in love with Fred's talent. Literally IN LOVE!!!!!! They spent so much time focusing on the album cover they forgot to record the music 😆

[@AndrewJerkins]

Fred can die at any moment, he's literally done everything he could have ever wanted. Don't die though.

[@lifeisgood6616]

Saw Mick with BAD two years ago. I never saw someone so happy on stage. They were tight and the show was a joy!

[@Truthmoses]

mic jones getting tickled at 2:42 and 3:52 just snapped my 3 yr depression

[@violetsky5202]

Gotta love Mick.

[@702Faithful]

First heard The Clash in ‘82 when I was 10 and still listening today. One of the greatest bands.

[@howardtyler7]

The Punk Nigel Tufnel ! Great stuff Mick and Paul for playing along!🤣👏👏

[@joshturner3263]

'Go over there, sit down , SHUTUP' hahahaha

[@darrylwiggins4799]

This is fantastic! It's so good to see two of my favorite band members together because in my youth I was so focused on the Clash I completely missed Ian rubbish and his talented band.

[@doctorfeelfunny584]

Armisen fantasy fulfilled. Mick and Paul were very game, but knew to play the straight men.

[@djofortunato5799]

These guys were remarkable sports about this. It's like a comedy musicians dream come true 😅👍

[@YeNguyen]

I think the best part of this is what a blast Jones and Simonon seem to be having.

[@josh0g]

Mick and Paul will always love music. Even for something silly like this.

[@squinkque]

Mick Jones looks like Bob Dole now. Cool. Paul Simonon looks like an older, seedier Paul Simonon. The Clash burned through my teenage imagination, I will always love them. They always had a sense humor even when they were storming the record industry's barricades they never took themselves too seriously, for the most part.

[@jacobboyle2556]

Ian Rubbish never ages!

[@brettblyth1857]

Humour

[@AC-hj9tv]

Older guy looks older. Deep.

[@audibletapehiss3764]

Yeah, I geeked out just a little when Mick and Paul sang "Heeeey Policeman." I mean, that sound.

[@danmseattle975]

The Clash are my favorite band of all time

[@BrianAchterberg928]

The Clash THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS!!! ✊❤️❤️✊

[@punkisinthedetails1470]

STILL THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS

[@scottlapier4363]

Mick Jones looks cartoonishly English. Fred Armisen is lucky man to get to jam with them.

[@michaelthomas366]

Saw the Clash back in the early 80s with the English beat opening for them. Great concert!

Fred and Weird Al should work on an album parodying different music genres from the last 50 years!

[@vpcproduction7070]

no..

[@lolitabridges1974]

Fred is too much. "We forgot to record the music". He is a comic genious who is talented musically as well. He really is. Anything he does I'm on it.

[@tomallen5837]

NO

[@PookieQDB]

If you don't listen to The Clash you'll think this video is stupid.

[@victoria7t]

All comedians like that. If you don't know the subject it's going to appear stupid.

[@maddie8415]

I think a person will get the humor even more if they're familiar with The Sex Pistols...particularly Johnny Rotten.

[@theprion7]

Hey policeman... what a tune

[@MrDino1953]

Exactly. What tune?

[@mazieferreira7757]

LMAO.... that was great. Playing with The Clash is still a big deal.

[@phaedrussmith1949]

"They did a sort of past tense copying of us." Brilliant.

[@turkeybowlwinkle4440]

I think I still have that record that was just a hole.

[@athanatic]

Watching this makes me imagine the balls to conceive of this, then actually do it. I think the funniest people out there are always looking for a venue to do their crazy, brave shit. I look forward to the next thing that springs forth from these fertile imaginations.

[@victoria7t]

It doesn't take a lot of courage. Creativity definitely but not courage

L’the clash is one of my favorite bands. Ondonc my favorite record. ALL IN! G, what a band!

[@tomhomer1980]

I can't stop watching this😂. As someone from East London, I've got to say Fred's London accent is hilarious but bang on, but...I don't like it. 😂

[@goblinbollocks2838]

You cannot be from London if you think that sounds like anything other than an American putting on an accent

[@johnnydtractive]

This makes me so happy.

[@DirtyPoopers]

i wonder if The Clash think his accent sounds as real as it does to me

[@chrisbluma7942]

Kinda wanted him to sing a really conservative tune at the end just to mess with Mick and Paul.

[@tacoscamp]

The only band that matters! Thank god for guys like Fred Armisen keeping their names and faces out there for future generations. I feel very lucky to have been there the first time around. RIP Joe!
