Bromances

So, I started rewatching the SNL that Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake hosted (because, let's be real, JT really did co-host with Jimmy) and it got me thinking about bromances. They're a pretty great phenomenon and I love watching them. I thought it would make a great blog topic: Our Favorite Bromances!

One of the first bromances I remember observing is Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sanz on SNL in the early to mid-2000s. They were in almost every skit together and their sole purpose was to make the other one laugh. And they also joined up with Tracy Morgan and Chris Kattan to bring us "I Wish It Was Christmas Today," so obviously we're glad this bromance existed.

Now to more contemporary bromances. Starting with the greatest: Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake.

If you don't love the Barry Gibb Talk Show skits, I'm not sure we can be friends. It is the epitome of JT and Jimmy's bromance. Any time one of them hosts, the other shows up for this skit and random others. They're hilarious together. This might be my favorite bromance of all time. Find one that's half as funny as this.

Josh Elliott and Sam Champion from Good Morning America. Unfortunately, we no longer get to watch this bromance every morning before work and school because Sam left for the Weather Channel, but this bromance should be studied in the history of bromances. These two are clearly besties. I truly miss watching this bromance. They're hilarious together. No gifs, unfortunately, but I found this video of Josh crying on Sam's last day at GMA.



And then there's Jonah and Channing. You can't honestly tell me that after watching 21 Jump Street that these two aren't bromatically involved. You can tell that as soon as these two met they were best friends. They're too funny together.

So funny. I can't wait until 22 Jump Street comes out!


What is your favorite bromantic pairing?

May Movies

Last year I did a big long post about all of the summer movies I was looking forward to. I decided this summer to do each month's movies, especially because there are quite a few in May.

May 6:
Something Borrowed - I just finished reading the Darcy and Rachel series(all of two books) by Emily Giffin last week and I'm obsessed. Rachel in the beginning of SoBo is me. I swear. We are one in the same. It's scary. So from the preview (below) I've noticed one major change but I'm glad because it allowed more of John Krasinski, which is never a bad thing.


Thor - I'll admit, I was not excited for this at all. However, the moment I saw my girl crush, Natalie Portman, was in it, I was a little intrigued. The more I see previews for this movie, the more pumped I get for it. Not to mention the Thor dude is like Brad Pitt... on steroids.

May 13:
Bridesmaids - This movie looks like the female version of The Hangover, let's be real. With SNL favorites like Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig, you can't go wrong. Add in the hilarious Melissa McCarthy (Gilmore girls, Mike&Molly) this has to be golden. Not to mention I'll be a bridesmaid in September and I'm dying to go see this with the other bridesmaid and our bride - sure way to bond the six of us a few months before the bachelorette and actual wedding.


May 20:
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - Anyone who is remotely close to me knows that I. Love. Pirates of the Caribbean. This movie was a definite yes on my list of summer movies the moment I found out that May 20 was the release date. I don't expect it to be anywhere near the caliber of the first 3, but I do think it will be entertaining nonetheless as Jack and Barbossa will team up to fight Blackbeard. I mean, really, I dare you not to laugh at Jack in this trailer. I'm also pumped for Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz to be working together again because their chemistry was great in Blow.


May 26:
The Hangover, Pt 2 - "Hold on, gay boys!" I don't think I know a single person that didn't love the first movie. If I do, I'm probably not very good friends with them because they probably don't have any sort of sense of humor. While this movie probably won't be quite as funny, I still can't help but laugh at the trailers for this one. It looks like essentially the same movie just in Bangkok, "Thigh-land," instead of Vegas, but I'm not going to dog it because of that. I'll be there for opening night, for sure.


What May movies are y'all looking forward to?

Jimmy Fallon's Christmas Song 2010

I hope everyone is familiar with "I Wish It Was Christmas Today," from SNL and then last year Jimmy had Julian Casablancas cover, but this year we have something new from Mr. Fallon.
