It all started with a tweet by Steven Hyden

Which lead to me seeing the image below in the comments

Which is a great joke, but I didn’t remember this joke. So I found the following clip from Zoolander which approaches perfection. Someone added just a touch of amateur editing at the end.

Which of course autoplays to this clip from Ben Stiller on Conan Needs a Friend discussing Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, and Ben’s early appearances on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
So as one does, you get curious and look up the planned appearances they spent all day working on.
So I guess what I’m saying is…. I’ve had a very productive morning.
Follow up notes:
- Signing up for Youtube Premium and not having to watch commercials is probably the best $9 I spend each month.
- I recently created a Police playlist before seeing all of this. It’s culled from just the first two albums, before The Police had ballads, and before whatever Sting’s doing as a solo artist that I haven’t heard but respect. Available on Apple Music or Spotify.
- If you are looking to move playlists from Apple to Spotify or vice versa, I recommend tunemymusic.com
- I joined Columbia House so many different times. The best CD I eventually stole from them was Van Morrison – Moondance. However, in my younger years, when I was actually paying, I forgot to send my card back and received Ugly Kid Joe – America’s Least Wanted that featured Everything About You. I was very mad about this and never took it out of the shrink wrap in defiance.
