Changes: The Roxbury Guys

Revision as of 21:58, 20 September 2012

The Roxbury Guys was a sketch about two brothers named Doug and Steve Butabi (although their names and relationship to one another were never revealed until the subsequent release of the film) who always dressed in rayon suits to go clubbing, where they would attempt to pick up women. They were played by Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell respectively. Their trademark was bobbing their heads in unison to the song "What Is Love" by Haddaway, which always played throughout the duration of each sketch. They were extremely unfortunate with the women at the clubs, often gyrating against them in an attempt to get them to dance, but always causing a negative reaction. The sketches often featured a third member of the group, similar to the others in appearance and actions, performed by that week's host (such as Tom Hanks, Martin Short, Jim Carrey, Alec Baldwin, and Sylvester Stallone); this character was usually credited as "Barhop".

Trivia

The Roxbury Guys were created by Will and Chris on the comedy show "The Groundlings". Here's a quote from Chris on there inspiration for the Butabi brothers: "Will and I were in a club, and we saw a guy who...was bopping to the beat, suggesting in a silent way, 'You want to dance with me? You do? You Don't? You Do? Okay, don't worry about it.' So we started imitating him."-Teen People
