Last night, Jimmy Fallon celebrated Late Night‘s second birthday and, generous Jimmy that he is, instead of receiving gifts, he gave them away to us. By “gifts,” I mean two spot-on, hilarious video shorts–truly the sort of gifts that keep on giving.
First, check out “Winning for Men: By Charlie Sheen,” Jimmy’s parody fragrance ad, and note two essential things: One, that they used about 90% real Charlie Sheen quotes, because they were that crazy to begin with. And two … who knew Fallon was such a dead-ringer for Sheen? It’s almost like the first Tina Fey/Sarah Palin parody I ever saw. Eerie.
Jersey Shore parodies are a dime a dozen, but this one has something most others don’t: Rachel Dratch! Plus, again, Jimmy’s impersonation of Pauly D is pretty perfect, right down to the “T-shirt time” (oh, I mean “Sweatshirt time”!) song. Check out “Jersey Floor,” which essentially mirrors an episode of Jersey Shore, except that it takes place in an office:
Happy birthday to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon! Thanks for making us laugh for the past two years–we hope NBC gives you at least two more.

An avid grammarian and over-analyzer, you can usually find her thinking too hard about plot devices in favorites like The Office, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and How I Met Your Mother.

She’s got a BA in English and Studio Art from Whitman College, which makes her a professional arguer, daydreamer, and doodler.
