Storyline

*MTV Movie Awards - June 1, 2008

(*the show where you can guess who has won by who has actually bothered attending)

Host Mike Myers, who's starring in "The Love Guru," which we'll be hearing a lot about I'm guessing, comes out to a standing ovation from a crowd filled with stars of TV, the big screen, and the Billboard charts.

He tells us that the show is completely live. His monologue contains a bad joke about high gas prices forcing Optimus Prime into taking the bus. Chris Brown in a weird leather military-style jacket reminiscent of Michael Jackson comes onstage and tells Myers not to just phone it in and pimp "The Love Guru." Myers challenges Brown to a dance battle. Brown is predictably amazing, Myers ain't no dancer but he holds his own. They mock the "Beat It" knife routine and then do a pas de deux in which Myers really gets on the good foot. (He clearly took tap dancing lessons at some time in his life.)

Quotes

Ben Stiller: Where... where's Robert?
Jack Black: Eh, he said he wanted his own, personal introduction. Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest movie-star on the planet, the greatest actor of all time... forged in the cauldron of his own genius... the one and only man of iron... I give you: Robert Downey Junior!
