A Night at the Roxbury is a 1998 comedy movie directed by John Fortenberry, spun off from the recurring Saturday Night Live skit starring Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan (originating the "Roxbury head-bop", with the brothers (and the guest star) shaking their heads to the Haddaway song "What Is Love"). The movie tells about Doug and Steve Butabi's journey as they get into the biggest and best nightclub in the city. | |

Failure Is the Only Option | |
| A Night at the Roxbury / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: The protagonists always fail to get into nightclubs. At the end of the file, this streak is technically never broken, thanks to their inadvertent masterminding of a nightclub whose inside looks like its outside and vice-versa, meaning that they've technically turned the world into a nightclub and been thrown out of it! | |

Lousy Lovers Are Losers: When Steve and Doug have sex with Vivica and Cambi, it's a disappointing experience for the girls, given they both lasted less than a minute, but they don't care and are more concerned with congratulating each other on getting laid. | |

Shout-Out | |
| A Night at the Roxbury / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: 21 Jump Street and Johnny Depp are referenced by Mr. Zadir and Doug when talking to Richard Grieco. He isn't amused. The scene in which Doug apologizes to Steve and Steve accepts ("You had me at hello!") is a direct parody of a scene in Jerry Maguire, complete with the use of "Secret Garden" by Bruce Springsteen in the background. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: After some initial success halfway through the movie, all of Doug and Steve's plans quickly unravel, causing a rift between them and allowing their father to push Steve into marrying Emily. After Doug interrupts Steve's wedding at the last second, things quickly take a turn for the better and everything the brothers had been wishing for quickly falls into their lap. | |
