The greatest rock n' roll band in the world as comedians? Without a doubt. Two moments, both from SNL, still make me laugh when I think about them.

1. The Jagger-Jerry Hall-Jon Lovitz "fishing story" sketch.

2. The sketch with Mike Myers impersonating MJ and MJ doing a letter-perfect impersonation of Keith, complete with bandanna and sunglasses.

What about the rest of you? Any particularly funny moments to relate?

Keith hitting that obnoxious idiot on stage with his guitar.

The Rolling Stones video of Sonny & Cher's I Got You Babe (in some English TV-show I suppose).

That's a good one, davido. From the same video ("Let's Spend the Night Together"), there's a scene of Ronnie running around the stage like a complete loon, and Keith stops playing and glares at him, probably thinking "WTF are you doing?"

Charlie`s BBC interview, when they were shooting the One Hit To The Body -Video and he was so unsatisfied by doing nothing. The guy from the BBC asked him that there must have been a lot of hanging around in Stones -history: "Yes, 5 years working , 20 years hanging around "

during shattered on snl 78
when mick whips around after ripping his shirt
and ends up face to face with keith, and keith just laughs in micks face

In "Let's Spend the Night Together" It's also fun when Mick complains with Ronnie about him arriving late to the venue, but my favourite Stones lol moment is on the Paris concert of "Four Flicks", during Charlie's introduction!

"got to be worked on
don't have no bark nor bite..."

The Guy at the end of the Rewind video!

also on snl 78 when mick spits on the floor during respectable
even wyman looked baffled

When Micks looking at the guy freaking out on stage
at Altamont, and his biker security is oblivious.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiit! But I'll give him credit,
he gets back to the song. Perhaps the only
time he's lost control of a situation on
stage and doesn't quite know what to do.......

Jagger's 76 hairdo

I didn't see this, but my dad told me that Keith slipped and fell on his ass at the Copenhagen '95 show.

JumpingKentFlash

When a drunken Jagger knocked on Charlie's hotel room in Amsterdam and told his "drummer boy" to get his arse downstairs then a few minutes later an immaculately suited Charlie appeared and punched Jagger in the face so hard he slid along a table and almost fell out a window into a canal, saying: "Don't ever call me your drummer again. You're my @#$%& singer."

yeah but the amsterdam thing is a myth

the stones on saturday night live.
and when they got in trouble taking a leak on a gas station.. it must have been very funny getting fined for it!

At the Toronto Air canada centre show
in 2002 Keith came running out, very dramatic
and all for the opening chords of SFM and fell
flat on his butt. Funny yes, but made me wonder.............

"yeah but the amsterdam thing is a myth"
- Based on what?

My all time one would be SNL epsisode Bassplayer decribed with Mick doing Keith.
and also I always laugh at Keith's picture on the cover of Black and Blue.

Ha ha yes keith does look spectacularly gormless on the B&B cover shot. It doesn't really look like him at all.

Another of my favourite Charlie moments (mythical too?) is after a gig in '64 or '65 backstage where loads of fans were beseiging the boys for autographs and locks of hair etc. One girl approached Charlie who was sitting untroubled on his own and asked him for a souvenir. He looked around, shrugged and offered her a chair. I often wonder if she did struggle home with it or still has it.

On the VH1 video promoting the VL tour, you see Dan Aykroyd mowing the lawn at RFK Stadium while the Stones are running through "Honky Tonk" on stage. This is just surreal, silly and very funny. If only John Belushi could've lived to see that. This is the same video that has Ronnie describing playing a pedal steel guitar as like "flying a helicopter" with all the pedals & controls. I liked that, too.

based on mick and charlie both saying it never happened
its just another keefism

In "According To The Rolling Stones" Charlie says it actually happened, but he ain't proud at all of it!

"got to be worked on
don't have no bark nor bite..."

I stand corrected

I'm backing up Davido here... that ACC Toronto show '02 was freakin' outstanding. Keith's falling and then laughing at himself as Darryl helped him up just added to the magic. He's human, and that was hilarious. Good times, good freakin' times!

how about ronnie flipping over micks back in the lstnt flick

Keith on B&B is great. But cool. Man did he look cool.

Norman Gunsten! Gawd, I forgot about his hilarious '78 tour interviews with the Stones - some of which are on 'Rewind'. That one at the end where Mick comes offstage (presumably in Memphis) and goes through an interview routine like a boxer right after a fight ("you should see the @#$%& state of HIM, mate!") is hilarious.

Gunsten's interview with Mick in his Memphis hotel room is great too

"You dont share this bed with Mr Keith Richards, do you?"

the 4 new songs

Everytime I see the Stones I have to laugh when Mick comes out dancing, it's just a little strange at first. It takes at least a couple of songs to get used to his dancing and then its pure RnR after that.
