Whether they were joined by Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, Martin Short, or Sylvester Stallone, or they were pursuing Helen Hunt or Pamela Anderson, the exploits usually played out the same, with the guys in matching rayon suits, gold chains, and sideburns trying to fit in, be cool, and woo the ladies, with very little success and quite a bit of nose rubbing. On 'Saturday Night Live', the largely mute pair's trials relied almost purely on the visual aspect for laughs. In Roxbury, Ferrell and Chris Kattan, his young cast mate on the hip '90s SNL, reprise their roles as two city clubbers often seen bobbing their heads to Haddaway's 'What is Love' and ineptly pursuing women in various venues. A Night at the Roxbury, released in 1998, nearly stands out from its brethren thanks chiefly to two reasons: frequent television broadcasts (most often on cable's TBS) and for marking the first leading film role of Will Ferrell, who in just a few years has established himself as one of the biggest movie stars to ever graduate from NBC's longtime weekend fixture. The rest of the class, however, is buried deep within pop culture's consciousness, much like the sketches from which they spawned, only more so, without regularly-scheduled exposure in syndication and coverage in SNL's frequent trips down memory lane. The Blues Brothers is loved by many, but while it is closely associated with SNL, considering it a direct descendant based on Jake and Elwood's two-time musical guest status is a bit of a stretch. Was one lots of people saw, enjoyed, and continue to do so today, along with, to a much lesser degree, its sequel. While no great comic masterpiece, Wayne's World, featuring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey's basement dwellers,

When was the last time you or anyone you know watched or gave thought to Stuart Saves His Family, It's Pat, or even more recent works like Superstar and The Ladies Man? Movies based on popular, recurring 'Saturday Night Live' sketches tend to arrive with some fanfare and disappear soon after, largely forgotten by the general public.
