I did watch it. FOX made the fatal mistake of putting it up against 60 Minutes instead of giving it a time slot where it could succeed. It only lasted 13 episodes before it got cancelled, then it won the Emmy for Best Writing.
I thought I was the only one who thought about this whenever listening to ONE lol, I was like 10 when this came out and was a big u2 fan already but I remember this scarred me for life lol.
Just heard this on the radio in the car and instantly thought of this lol, I remember this show winning and Emmy after it was canceled, good job Fox lol
Very funny. I think it should be noted however that U2 (and Springsteen for that matter), have never taken corporate sponsorship for their tours or their music. You have never seen "Pepsi presents U2" (unlike Michael Jackson). They have never done a paid commercial for any product and never signed to a company sponsor. They were not paid for their ipod commercial, they did that to promote their own music on what was then a new music medium.
October 2014: 'U2's Bono issues apology for automatic Apple iTunes album download' "Lead issues video apology for marketing stunt at September Apple launch in which new album was given to 500 million users" Short memory you've got their mate.
Oh no poor U2 gen x now soccer mom...butt hurt mom. This spoof is spot on. Perfect way to mock the hugest exploitation artists ever and what's sad U2 prides itself on sounding different...yet they made this poof sound exactly like the song ONE hahaha
I don't get where anybody comes up with Bono being upset by this. In the Ben Stiller Show's DVD commentary, Ben says Bono called him and left a message like "Watch more TV." Yeah, that sounds like Bono was enraged.
Doesn't Mr. Kinkaid sound exactly like Reverend Putty?! It's freaking me out that it's not the same guy! Especially since Dino Stamatopoulos was involved with both shows!
He weighs at least 78 keurics
Happy St.Patrick's Day
I wonder how many people Andy Dick assaulted during that shoot?
Watching again 2022
I love Ben Stiller ❤
Stiller should've tried an Irish accent for this sketch. I like Bob Odenkirk as Larry Mullen Jr.
I did not expect to see Ben Stiller spoon feeding Bob Odenkirk cereal today. I can say today's a good day.
Stiller doesn’t even attempt an Irish accent.
How can you do Bono w no Irish accent? That's a big fail.
I don't remember this show. Wish I watched it then

To this day I still say "Have you had your breakfast?"
I thought I was the only one who thought about this whenever listening to ONE lol, I was like 10 when this came out and was a big u2 fan already but I remember this scarred me for life lol.
He looks like Daniel Day Lewis! Also Bob Odenkirk!
As a huge U2 fan "Have you had your breakfast?" Pffffffft oh I lost my shit!
Lucky Charms is called Lucky Clovers in Ireland. Facts.
The random leprechaun and transsexual is priceless.
Just heard this on the radio in the car and instantly thought of this lol, I remember this show winning and Emmy after it was canceled, good job Fox lol
To this day, I can't listen to U2's "One" without remembering this skit.
love ben stiller
#Metoo
So ahead of its time.
#metoo
Where is Stiller's Tropic Thunder follow-up already or the Les Grossman film that was rumored?
Mr Kinkade is perfect
This debuted 25 years ago today. I still remember watching it, thinking it was one of the greatest things I'd ever seen.
This was an instant classic! Ben was ahead of his time. Whenever I hear "One", I think of "Lucky Clovers".
I still often find myself saying "One BOWL... Won't be enough." when pouring cereal all these years later. "Lucky... Cloooovers!"

@@softladification this
Your an idiot Cynthia karina!!!
too bad stupid fox canceled the show. worst decision.
My favorites are still the Skank sketches. Great show all around though
this has to be my all time favorite parody ever. this one has made me laugh for 20 years.
Shoulda stuck with Kinkaid. They coulda been big.
Oh no poor U2 gen x now soccer mom...butt hurt mom. This spoof is spot on. Perfect way to mock the hugest exploitation artists ever and what's sad U2 prides itself on sounding different...yet they made this poof sound exactly like the song ONE hahaha
Fantastic, Andy Dick playing Adam and Bob Odenkirk (better call Saul) playing Larry. Circa 1988 I remember this so well.
1993 actually. U2 didnt start acting like this until the 90's
It was a parody of U2 song, One.
This is the longest cereal commercial I've ever seen. Do Bison eat Lucky Clovers?
Ok I’m off by 3-4 years guess I don’t remember it well lol
Who's playing The Edge?
the attention to detail is eerie lmao. so close to the one video that its spookin' me hard. dat scar.
No, that would be Tom Cruise's accent in Far and Away!
I dont know why everyone is saying worst irish accent ever.... i dont even think he's trying to put a accent on...
"They should have been called Me-2,that's what it's all about ,him" - Mr.Kinkaid,manager for the Partridge Family - one bowl
"bono is god" "buy what you're told"
Indeed. I don't think I've ever really heard an American do an Irish accent without it sounding completely off or just stereotypical.
When you demand to be referred to as Bono or "the edge", you have become a doosh.
better then the real one!
Absolutely incredible
holy crap this is a really good impression but i am seriously offended that they think u2 is all about the money
Offence is taken, not given. If you are offended, that is your problem, not Ben's.
Its All about the ego.

@Malocosa He did play Daniel Day Lewis in a skit once involving a treadmill.
sorry for the stuttering go to 1:00 for the song
Best Cover of One ever! 1:00
Best Cover of One ever!
