Ben Stiller as “Tom Crooze”: An MTV Movie Awards Classic Nearly 25 years later, one of the funniest MTV Movie Awards moments is still Ben Stiller’s 2000 sketch “Mission: Improbable,” where he played Tom Cruise’s overeager “stunt double,” Tom Crooze. Decked out in Cruise’s shades and leather jacket, Stiller nailed the parody—while the real Tom Cruise played the perfect straight man. It remains one of MTV’s greatest award-show spoofs ever. | Did You Catch This?

At the 2000 MTV Movie Awards, Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller performed a comedic skit called "Mission: Improbable," in which Stiller played Cruise's bumbling stunt double. The parody, centered around the making of Mission: Impossible 2, satirized Cruise's reputation for performing his own dangerous stunts by showing a wildly unqualified double, "Tom Crooze," constantly interrupting the genuine star.
