I was lucky enough to watch this when it was originally broadcast at the 2000 MTV Movie Awards. The audience reaction was priceless. I can't believe that was 24 years ago. It doesn't feel that long ago....
I don’t think so. I believe it was scripted based on the forced laughter and the aping of each others actions afterwards. Also, Ben actually finishing Tom’s sentence seems to be the natural comedic reply to Tom’s “I don’t think we ever…” line. Think about it, if Tom had finished that line to end the skit, it would have ended the skit on an unfunny note.
@@jmadratzI see both of your points and sucks that we’ll never know but that’s a testament to Cruise’s acting if it’s scripted and faux-surprise, then the seemingly for a second genuine laughter. I’m leaning ever so slightly towards unscripted as there’s that moment where he can’t keep a straight face and bursts out laughing. Also the possibility it was scripted but they were both making each other die laughing with new nuances each take.
it was. I remember when this 1st aired on MTV and then they did a behind the scenes of the spoof and Tom legit broke because he wasn't expecting that line from Ben
I'm sure he does in real life - don't think he would have been up for this if he didn't....love how Tom is always game for a laugh, and they work really well together 😄❤️
Those punches to Stiller's face and the look on his face while it's happening was just perfection👊 The dual laugh at the end, fundamentally explained their enduring professional relationship... eurggh!
This was in 2000. That's 17 years after "Risky Business". Amazing how Tom Cruise aged through the 80s and 90s. He just became a different kind of gorgeous.
This was hilarious Stunt double punch punch punch John Woo harder lol The motorcycles flying in the air t"this mission got impossibleler lol.The risky business scene hitting the wall lol😁😂😂😎🤕Also the cocktail scene🤣🤣
True story: first time i was exposed to these Ben Stiller clips, i actually thought he was Tom Cruise's stunt double lol Those were the days of not having internet and watching these clips on some pirated dvds or vhs tapes 😆
This is a parody but it starts just like when Will Smith was very unironically talking about himself. "What is Will Smith? Is Will Smith an idea or concept?" etc
that last laugh the point at which you no longer know and the lines get blurred as to - is tom playing along - is tom really laughing - is tom that good of an actor - is tom acting but then partially breaking character and bursting out in hysterics and then returning to character - Am i paranoid You just don't know anymore

A good continuation from his impression of Tom Cruise in CELEBRITY JEOPARDY of Saturday Night Live! If you haven't seen that, check it out! It's probably where it got its inspiration for this awards show bit. th-cam.com/users/shortsAEToX3wqIU4
So how in the world did they do Tropic Thunder? And was Tom Cruise playing Tom Crooze's stunt double when the film cuts to the thundering Tropics? I'm trying to wrap my head around the dude stunt doubling a dude disguised as the dude.
He’s still a nut job, and they clearly really heavily wanted it known that Tom pities him instead of being willing to make a COMPLETE fool of himself, BUT, that said, i still gotta give Tom props for having the sense of humor, for not taking himself too seriously, and for even being willing to do this at all! Not what i would have expected!
“This mission - it just got a hell of a lot more… impossibler”
"I thought this segment would be a hell of a lot more… funnier”
Right after he says "This mission..." you can see Tom Cruise is already done with this idea lol
The laugh is so spot on … Ben Stiller is brilliant 😂
How much do you earn to be a hype man? Just curious.
Ik that was great. 😂
John Woo- "Harder..."
🤭hardah*
2:16 😂😂😂
His was the worst installment and yet he’s vindicated by “harder”.
“go away” 😂
That pleased smile before saying it.
I love how professionally Tom Cruise takes even little things like this. But the real unsung hero of this parody is Jon Woo.
Harder
Go away.
@@hr110391 the way he says harder is the best bit of the video

Same. I saw it when it was originally broadcast too. Cannot believe that was 24 years ago. Where does time go?
A reminder that time waits for no man, make the most of every day!
5:57 You can tell that Beb Stiller improved finishing Tom`s sentence and caught Tom off guard. Which is why Tom's laugh is do genuine. I love it!

Oh - improv’d …
No - it was definitely scripted.
It’s a comedy sketch. It definitely wasn’t off the cuff.
I feel like last laugh was so real lol 😂😂😂

Cokaine ❤
@@Spideymrw It's such a good bit lol
@@SpideymrwI can sense it
Them laughing at the end is perfect!
Tom should have kept going way too long 😂
Tropic thunder was one of the funniest films, I still crack up thinking about it.
What do you mean what you mean you people? RDJR LOL
Tropic thunder is the funniest movie of all time.
Who let the fridge open 🥶
@@lefabuleux8192No, it isn't.
@@zoookx Global Meltdown....
Kickin' Impossible
Nuh uh..
Kickin impossibl-er.
And then Ben Stiller directed Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder
Tom's hip hop dancing and over the top acting in that film was wonderful.
Now and then I search for this clip and watch it.
Same
“This mission - it just got a hell of a lot more… impossibler” IS SOMETHING YOU'D HEAR IN MARVEL MOVIES
Tom was ahead of his time
They should do this for all of Tom cruises movies.😂
I'm convinced that last bit was 100% real. 😂
This is a gem I found today.
"Let's call it kickin impossible....." 😂
3:10 is how imagine I look trying to make small talk
What I experience all the time.😢😭
He's harmless, he's harmless, he's harmless
they are so young here. Thnx dudes for all.
Long live
"He's harmless."
Why is Tom Cruise?
John Woo... literally the best action director in the world.
Very few artists surpass their father's fame. Ben is one of that. Respect to him and his father. Both very good people. God Bless his Father's soul.
The fight coordinator was David Lea, the guy who did the fight scenes for Michael Keaton in Batman. RIP
The laugh at the end was like aggressive microphone feedback🤣
The funny thing is you don't know if Cruise likes him or not, especially with that end laughing. So silly, love it. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure he does in real life - don't think he would have been up for this if he didn't....love how Tom is always game for a laugh, and they work really well together 😄❤️
@@colinluckens9591 aren't they friends irl?
@@glutenfreeheaven7681 Well I'm sure they probably are....I don't know of course, but I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be
He is true legend. Ben Stiller.
Tom is just like HE IS HARMLESS 😅
That laugh threw me
always come back to this,just class
Those punches to Stiller's face and the look on his face while it's happening was just perfection👊
The dual laugh at the end, fundamentally explained their enduring professional relationship... eurggh!
Tom is great in comedy roles same as in action/thriller!!....and of course Ben - great comedy actor!!❤❤....
Who else was a teenager back then watching this 😂
This parody was the best.
Hi Ben and Tom we ❤ you guys
Ahhhh so sweet...they both loves you too
@@imnatemshir7012 Thank you babe
@@imnatemshir7012how do you know?
“He takes his job very seriously…he’s, we ah!…I mean even if we don’t ah request him for a film, ah he just shows up!”
I think we all want Ben Stiller to direct another movie with the character of Less Grossman. Come on already!
Ben looks like prince 😆
cant unseent it
😂😂 I thought that too!
😂💀
In my 40s, there will never be actors like them , thx you for all the funny and action movies thus far! U guys are awsome thx
For those who didn't know that Ben had his own show in the early 90's should check it out.
This was in 2000. That's 17 years after "Risky Business". Amazing how Tom Cruise aged through the 80s and 90s. He just became a different kind of gorgeous.
For real. And & here it is 2024 & that man is STILL fine as hell!
Its called plastic surgery and about 50 grand in dental work.
Amazing what you can do when youre rich.
I love the ending xD
This was hilarious Stunt double punch punch punch John Woo harder lol The motorcycles flying in the air t"this mission got impossibleler lol.The risky business scene hitting the wall lol😁😂😂😎🤕Also the cocktail scene🤣🤣
6:11 is when we realized Tom's condition was beyond insanity....
Hahahaha the cocktail scene is crazy.
Hahaha Ben's a freaking GENIUS! 😂👏👏
I wouldn't have thought of this before this parody but Ben actually has a great body!! ❤
“This just went from mission impossible to mission freaking insanity “ Tom Croos
The ending laugh is the best part
It's hard to believe Tom Cruise is older than Ben Stiller. Not by much, but damn Tom's 38 and Ben's 35 here
i like how they are the same height but tom cruise looks taller jn this
I thought cruise was 2 inches or so taller
Very likely he stood on an apple crate.
Apparently, he wears shoes with specialist heels built in to give him a couple inches more.
@@heeeeeresrossynah he's just a strong 5'8.
True story: first time i was exposed to these Ben Stiller clips, i actually thought he was Tom Cruise's stunt double lol
Those were the days of not having internet and watching these clips on some pirated dvds or vhs tapes 😆
Les Grossman should manage Tom Crooze ... that should be a movie right there.
Oh the good ol days. When stars were still a mystery.
This is Gold 😂😂
Tom's protectiveness of this guy is actually kind of endearing.
Also, it's a shame we haven't gotten to see more of Ben Stiller as Tom Cruise.
This is a parody but it starts just like when Will Smith was very unironically talking about himself. "What is Will Smith? Is Will Smith an idea or concept?" etc
"Go...away!" 😂😂
Funniest sketch ever 😂😂😂
Watched Tropic Thunder to link me here.
that last laugh
the point at which you no longer know and the lines get blurred as to
- is tom playing along
- is tom really laughing
- is tom that good of an actor
- is tom acting but then partially breaking character and bursting out in hysterics
and then returning to character
- Am i paranoid
You just don't know anymore
Kickin Impossible should be a Tom Crooze spin off.😂And I forget sometimes how tiny Ben Stiller is, Cruise is about 1 inch taller.lol

Does anyone know where can find the background music version of 5:25?
Found it if anyone wants its instrumental of mi2 theme
"Go away" 😅
That’s hilarious haven’t seen some of that before
I remember this being boss. Here we go again.

Between Two Ferns with Ben Stiller😂
Ahh the days, when people actually thought they were stars.
No no, I just never realized John Wayne walked like that
Dam... Tom Cruise was *HOT* back then!
is Tom really that much taller than Ben?? that part surprised me.
I heard tom was 5'8
Meh, probably using shoes with bigger soles@@thetrickster9885
Actually, they’re both the same height 5’7”
@@socklock1957nope. Ben is one inch taller than Ian Hammond but Tom looks about three inches taller.
Stiller does a spot on Tom Cruise😂
2.02!😅

He’s still a nut job, and they clearly really heavily wanted it known that Tom pities him instead of being willing to make a COMPLETE fool of himself, BUT, that said, i still gotta give Tom props for having the sense of humor, for not taking himself too seriously, and for even being willing to do this at all!
Not what i would have expected!
