So a bunch of us at work were laughing over the Will Ferrell "Landlord" video that went up on the Web last week, and we got to talking about our favorite Ferrell sketches from "Saturday Night Live." I am of the opinion that SNL's "Celebrity Jeopardy" series is one of the funniest things put on any TV network anywhere ever, but there's a somewhat lesser-known -- or at least lesser-talked-about -- sketch featuring Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller that never fails to make me laugh out loud. Herewith, I bring you "The H is O."
You know, I think my favorite part of this video -- besides the thought of Stiller's character believing that the height of manly coolness is to have "Glenn Frey's stank" all over him -- is the interaction between the three guys at the bar. Which, as anyone who has ever hung out with a group of 20-/30-something guys can tell you, is scarily accurate.
Anyway . . . here's the Ten:
1. New Order, "Krafty" (DJ Dan dub remix)
2. Thievery Corporation, "Incident at Gate 7"
3. The Clash, "This Is Radio Clash"
4. Nine Inch Nails, "Head Like a Hole"
5. Fatboy Slim, "Next to Nothing"
6. The Clash, "Clash City Rockers"
7. The Strokes, "The Modern Age"
8. The Strokes, "Trying Your Luck"
9. James Brown, "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine)"
10. Wu-Tang Clan, "Tearz"
Your Ten, and any particularly memorable Will Ferrell sketches, in the comments.
