Nov 3 2009The One And Only Christopher Walken Performing Lady GaGa's 'Poker Face'
This is a video of Christopher Walken reading Lady Gaga's song 'Poker Face' on the BBC's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. Trust me, it's every bit as awesome as it sounds. Plus some. MULTIPLIED BY MORE. And then divided by a fraction less than 1.
Thanks to killerabbit, Russel, The F'n Jem'Hadar and sham, who know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and when to run.

They did this on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Still worth the watch.

It is brilliant thought.

Easily the best thing I've seen all day.

Lady Gaga is a poet, and I think Christopher really brings that out.
9. Heather - November 3, 2009 1:12 PM
Finally, I can listen to a Lady Gaga song without breaking out in hives. Thank you, Christopher Walken.

That is so awesome. I don't like Lady Blah Blah. Walken is full of awesome.
14. Zee Brat - November 3, 2009 1:45 PM
YES
15. Chuey The Rock N Roll Midget - November 3, 2009 2:01 PM
Cartman does it better on south park!
16. shitzangiggle - November 3, 2009 2:16 PM
@15 it's true cartman put more effort into it but its still not as funny as christopher walken.
17. weed - November 3, 2009 2:17 PM
Tell me what do you guys find funny is this?
or is it that ' being cool' thing??
Like everyone hates nickleback and loves bacon! because they think it'll make them cool. Even though they wouldn't have clue what either is!

Stop this stupid Fad thing.

Walken is the best. Everything he ever did on SNL was gold. He should read a Kanye song next.
19. rien - November 3, 2009 2:25 PM
I think Lady GaGa is awesome, and I still loved it :)
20. john - November 3, 2009 2:29 PM
@17 I feel the same way, walken is a talented actor but I dont really get the obsession with the peculiar way he talks.
21. Jesse Starr - November 3, 2009 2:43 PM
Oh man thats good. Kudos on the link btw.
22. om3ga - November 3, 2009 2:59 PM

This is further proof of Christopher Walken's awesomeness.
I want that as a ringtone now.
25. HeyHey - November 3, 2009 3:07 PM
You know.. he's *too* awesome.. I'm starting to get suspicious of something
26. shellshell - November 3, 2009 3:30 PM
This is good but I do think Cartman did it better hahahahaha, just thinking of the little fat b@stard singing it makes me smile!
27. cabbo - November 3, 2009 4:45 PM
@17 Nickleback (the band) are turd. Still. Even after the newest album. The one that's meant to be the big redemption. They're STILL turd.
28. cabbo - November 3, 2009 4:46 PM
And I don't know much about christopher walken. He was in a tim burton movie. THIS is funny. Simple as.
29. Ebee - November 3, 2009 5:00 PM
I like Cartmans better but this is still funny.

Seriously, what could be better?!?

35. White667 - November 4, 2009 2:51 AM
Are you serious? I saw this last Friday when it aired, this was scheduled on TV. How can it take you SO LONG to post stuff like this.
36. om3ga - November 4, 2009 3:38 AM
i kno its old to us peeps in england but it gets shown a few days after on bbc america... still as funny as a heart attack... take that whatever way u want

38. Jaded Icon - November 4, 2009 7:33 AM
@ 37
Because unlike you he has other stuff to do besides eat cheetos all day and write complaints on blogs...
39. eed - November 4, 2009 7:50 AM

Not Funny |-(
41. Jeezy - November 4, 2009 10:49 AM
@17: You are the most logical person in this thread...
There's nothing really that funny about this video. It's exactly like the stupid bacon fad... everyone loves bacon, sure. But we don't have to wear it and live our lives based on bacon...
For fùck's sakes, people... be original. Be critical of things. Don't just jump on every bandwagon that comes by.
42. Jaded Icon - November 4, 2009 11:38 AM
@ 43
You're such a rebel!! That makes you super sexy. How about the bandwagon that we b*tch about everything everyone else likes. Hmmm....sounds like YOU have a case of the sheeple....
43. jourdash3 - November 4, 2009 1:09 PM
wow i came across this post as i was listening to that song. weird.
