Old Skool Joints: Roxbury Edition

This week's Old Skool Joint post is inspired by the failure that was my Thursday morning last week. After getting little sleep and spending a combined two hours on transit all for 20 minutes of class I threw myself down on the couch. I promised that I'd just take a little nap and then get right back to school work. This plan might have worked if I hadn't taken a minute to check what was on tv. I mean, how can anyone resist "A Night At the Roxbury"?

I caught the movie a few minutes before Will Ferrell goes to marry Molly Shannon, and it might be because I was a little delirious, or it might be because I'm right, but I decided that the sequence that follows is the greatest thing to happen in any SNL skit turned feature length motion picture. First, Chris Kattan busts up the ceremony by holding a boombox over his head, John Cusack style, and blasts "What is Love?"



Then (and I couldn't find a video) he and Will Ferrell re-enact that scene from Jerry MaGuire that we're all so familiar with, while Bruce Springsteen's "Secret Garden" softly plays in the background. Brilliant.

The point is, I think we should all take a few minutes to enjoy these songs. Preferably back to back for added comedic effect.
