MTV Movie Awards Classic – Ben Stiller as Tom Crooze
This might be a classic to end all classics. I first saw this in 2000 while in the college dorms, and have been quoting it with my friends ever since. It’s one of the greatest accomplishments in Ben Stiller’s career. Doesn’t get much better than Tom Crooze. Thanks to Aziz for posting this on his blog and reminding me of the hilarity.
There are three distinct lines that I can quote at any time of day and make my college buddies laugh out loud. This sketch has truly withstood the test of time. It’s actually much better than Mission Impossible II! My favorite quotes:
“Let’s call it Kickin’ Impossible?”
Stiller: “We even finish each others sentences”
Cruise: “I don’t think we finis….”
Stiller: “Finish each others sentences!”
“What if when Tom jumps off the bike… and when they are both coming at each other… if right before, he turns to the camera and says ‘this mission… it just got a hell of a lot more impossibler.”
