    My speculation:
    Robert Downey = Memorized it and nailed the cues
    Jack Black = Looks like he improvised the whole thing
    Ben Stiller = Looks like he is just as surprised as we are, that he is there.

      I think its more accurate to say :
      RDJ: Trying his best not to burst out laughing:
      These three comedic geniuses know that sometimes the best comedy is the contrast: so if Jack is going all out one of them has to be reserved to make it really pop:
      If you look early on RDJ was improvising as well: but also Ben stiller did the same: almost taking turns with RDJ being the "serious" or base contrast while the others popped.

He got away with it here because it wasn't a serious take.

You may not have used drugs or had a talent some ppl don’t appreciate (fair enough), but you’ve made mistakes. You’ve embarrassed yourself in front of someone. You’ve turned in the wrong direction a time or 2, right? We’re all just human, trying to figure this experiment (experience) out. No one person, org, or body has all the answers. Even the Bible warns us not to delve too deeply into spiritual things, trying to find answers. They don’t want us to know some things. I hate that, but it is what it is.

      RDJ is so my boyfriend. (In my head movies, of course.) Even when he was running amok, falling asleep on rooftops and getting arrested he was lovable. Now that he's sober and fit AF he's sexier than ever. He has a joie de vivre and brains for days. I don't need to tell you ladies. I'm glad this video found its way into my feed. Gladys sounds phenomenal and JB and RDJ can actually sing (maybe Stiller can, too - I can't recall if I've heard him), but RDJ has the smooth moves and the lean physique of a Pip. Damn can he wear a suit!

    Jack Black’s pure energy and obvious love of music is just so dang infectious that as the performance goes on, it starts to positively affect Stiller and RDJ - Stiller gradually starts to let loose a bit more and gave some fun with it, and RDJ breaks his natural coolest dude onstage vibe to smirk and try suppressing a laugh at Jack’s antics. No way you can be that close to the sun of Jack Black up onstage and not feel the warmth of those rays of pure excitement and joy! Loved and needed this!

      He didn't need a "pass" because he wasn't playing a racist character and he wasn't participating in racism.
      He was playing a character who was mocking Hollywood racism.
      A black person couldn't have played the character because the principle of the character was actually the real character. I'm pretty sure that's far too deep for you to comprehend.
