Summer Heights High, a popular Australian TV comedy created and starred by Chris Lilley, made a big impact in the 2000s. Among its standout characters, Mr. G, an overly dramatic drama teacher, became a symbol of humor. Known for calling himself a skilled performer, Mr. G often executed over-the-top, eccentric dance moves that never failed to make viewers laugh.
In the shared TikTok video, a scene of Chris Martin performing during Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour is paired with Mr. G’s voice saying, “One thing I like to do from time to time is just perform for the kids for the whole lesson. So they can see how someone at a professional industry level does it.” Fans quickly noticed the funny resemblance between Chris’s animated dance moves and Mr. G’s exaggerated style, making the video go viral and gain massive attention online.
The video instantly attracted thousands of views and comments. Fans left a flurry of funny remarks, showing their delight with this spontaneous comparison. One person wrote, “Welcome to Mr. G’s room,” while another quipped, “Fine, I’ll watch Summer Heights High again.” Another fan humorously named him “Chris Martin-Lilley,” combining Chris Martin and Chris Lilley’s names. Yet another fan commented, “OMG, the Mr. G voiceover is top-tier comedy. I swear Raygun has the same moves!”
