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 was trying to think where I had seen this before and... oh! holy moly! Way back then when I had a set-top box and a TV license! I did actually watch it! Before I got married and had kids! Back when I could do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted! Those were the days.
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 😄❤️
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.
What’s actually really great about this sketch is on a deeper level we realise at the end that Tom does want him around. Everyone else warns him that the guys a nut but we realise that there’s something a bit off with Tom because he gets genuine enjoyment out of him being around. It’s like a co-dependent relationship where Tom looks at Stiller and is like “wow, I have to try really hard not to become that guy”.
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🤣🤣
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
Tugg Speedman and Les Grossman, Les looks so different here. Les Ozempic role prep ? Weight training ? Makeup Oscar!!! Since Big Les revived Tuggs career with Tropic Thunder can we get another movie ??? Scorcher VII ? or Mission Impossibler ?
i had the amazing dvd playing on my original xbox, thinking i had the coolest console with the coolest dvd, watched this so many times it was great along with the metallica video. Childhood man
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 😆
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
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 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
@@auzziguy449 lol
Ben Stiller's reaction when he's told to go away is priceless.
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
@@johanvoellner1849 you for real so casual yet powerful
jon who?
Them laughing at the end is perfect!
Tom should have kept going way too long 😂
@@nolancho Tom Cruise or Tom Crooze?
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.
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....
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!
Yo también
Let's face it.. we're old now 😅

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....
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
Ben set him up and Tom's reaction is genuine not scripted
Kickin' Impossible
Nuh uh..
Kickin impossibl-er.
Kickimpossibler
Kimpossible.
I'm convinced that last bit was 100% real. 😂
"Let's call it kickin impossible....." 😂
This is a gem I found today.
Now and then I search for this clip and watch it.
Same
Me tooio ❤😅
They should do this for all of Tom cruises movies.😂
"He's harmless."
Why is Tom Cruise?
He's harmless, he's harmless, he's harmless
they are so young here. Thnx dudes for all.
Long live
“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
Something Scott lang would say.
3:10 is how imagine I look trying to make small talk
What I experience most of the time.😭😭
I remember watching this when it originally aired and I still lose it every time at the Cocktail scene!
I loved the ending. The laughing together. 🤣🤣
I think we all want Ben Stiller to direct another movie with the character of Less Grossman. Come on already!
The fight coordinator was David Lea, the guy who did the fight scenes for Michael Keaton in Batman. RIP
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
John Woo... literally the best action director in the world.
mwhat about michael bay ? 🥴
This never goes old
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.
Love both of them, RIP Jerry ❤
The laugh at the end was like aggressive microphone feedback🤣
I love in the cocktail segment when he brakes one bottle, he breaks the other one for the heck of it.
Hahahaha the cocktail scene is crazy.
Tom is just like HE IS HARMLESS 😅
He is true legend. Ben Stiller.
That laugh threw me
Tom is great in comedy roles same as in action/thriller!!....and of course Ben - great comedy actor!!❤❤....
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.
Ben looks like prince 😆
cant unseent it
😂😂 I thought that too!
😂💀
Oh the good ol days. When stars were still a mystery.
“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!”
always come back to this,just class
I love the ending xD
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.
Children’s blood will do that
Just too bad he’s a Scientology wacko
After taking a photo together... "I'll get doubles." That makes me feel old.
Never ever get bored of this!
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
OMG! THIS IS GOLD! 2000's 🖤🔥🤘🏻😎
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.
6:11 is when we realized Tom's condition was beyond insanity....
Comedy is awesome.

Who else was a teenager back then watching this 😂
Yes and no.
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🤣🤣
This was really funny.
That is an amazing impression!!!😂😂😂😂
It's perfect. The one you literally don't have to take serious in his film roles, the other one is on the complete opposite
5:48 the pat 🤣
The laugh part is so hilarious!
I can relate to this. I am currently a stand in/body double for a famous actor. I legally changed by name to Rhyne Gozalyn
Hi Ben and Tom we ❤ you guys
Ahhhh so sweet...they both loves you too
@@imnatemshir7012 Thank you babe

Les Grossman should manage Tom Crooze ... that should be a movie right there.
Watched Tropic Thunder to link me here.
Freakin' awesome!!!!😂😂
Dam... Tom Cruise was *HOT* back then!
It makes me think if the last joke wasn´t Ben catching Cruise with his pants down, he looked truly surprised when Ben finished his sentence. 😂😂😂😂
This is a fkn clasic ahahah
Props to Tom Cruise & John Woo who are willing to participate in this skit
Ben is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
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 😆
Ahh the days, when people actually thought they were stars.
This is Gold 😂😂
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
Omg Ben is amazing
Tom walked into that last line😂😂
I love Tom in Tropic Thunder.
4:27... I love this guy..
Hahaha Ben's a freaking GENIUS! 😂👏👏
Tom Cruise should do more comedy.
Love to see the outtakes.
Funniest sketch ever 😂😂😂
I wouldn't have thought of this before this parody but Ben actually has a great body!! ❤
Tom is the King!
"He's harmless"
martial artist at 1:10 was the goon trying to fight JCVD at his dojo in Double Impact
IMO, by far, Magnolia was Tom Cruise's BEST performance EVER... *to see Ben Stiller make it "PG-Rated" is absolutely hilarious* 😂
Comedy impossible! They're both Tom Cruise. Tom's my idol and it's my dream to be his stunt double too as well.
Limp Bizkit🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥
CUZ HATE, IS ALL THE WORLD HAS EVEN SEEN LATELY
“This just went from mission impossible to mission freaking insanity “ Tom Croos
Just lovely lol 😂
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
They somehow found a way for Ben to do his Tom Cruise impression without offending Tom Cruise
The ending laugh is the best part
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!
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
