Phillie Phanatic hilariously recreates viral Coldplay kiss cam scandal

The Phillies delivered their take on the story that won’t die.

They recreated the viral Coldplay concert “kiss cam” moment as part of Friday night’s game against the Angels.

In the middle of the contest, an event called the “Coldplay Kiss Cam” played on the outfield video board at Citizens Bank Park while Coldplay’s song “Clocks” provided the soundtrack. The camera eventually landed on the Phillie Phanatic and another mascot, donning a blonde wig.

The pair of mascots recreated the awkward moment from a viral video featuring Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and head of human resources Kristin Cabot, who were caught on the concert’s kiss cam at a Coldplay show on July 16.

They swiftly concealed their faces, seemingly to cover up a potential affair, which was humorously hinted at by lead singer Chris Martin when he commented, “Either they’re having an affair or just very shy.”

Their viral exit prompted Astronomer to place both executives on leave and launch an internal investigation.

“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the tech-and-data firm said in a statement.

“The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”

The game itself saw Philadelphia attempt to maintain momentum after the All-Star break, but ending up losing, 6-5, to the Angels.

Philly dropped to 55-42 on the year, but maintained a 1/2 game lead on the Mets, who dropped a home contest to the Reds on Friday.
