Forget about "The Evolution of Mom Dancing" and "The Evolution of Dad Dancing"—it's all about the future of dancing. In a laugh-out-loud Tonight Show sketch that aired on NBC Wednesday, host Jimmy Fallon and his guest, Jennifer Lawrence, starred in a new skit called "Come Dance With Us!"
"I don't know if you've heard about this, but a lot of people have been telling me that there's this infomercial that airs at 3 a.m. on QVC starring these two people that apparently look like you and me," Fallon said. The actress played along, responding, "Oh, you mean the 'Come dance with us?' Yeah, people tell me about this all the time, but I've never actually seen it."
Fallon said he watched Des and Dash "promoting a series of instructional dance videos" the night before. "I've gotta say, I don't really see the resemblance. But I TiVo'd it and I got the clip of it here, a little bit of the infomercial. Maybe we'll let the audience decide if it looks like us."
Cut to a costumed Fallon and Lawrence as Des and Dash.
"Don't we seem like the kind of people you'd like to dance with?" Dash asked. The duo then introduced three new dance moves: "Check the Door," "Bury the Nut" and "Peekaboo-a-Choo." After returning to his desk, Fallon said, "I don't really see the resemblance. I don't see it. Also, I tried to come dance with them, but their dances, I've never heard of them before, No. 1. I'm out of breath and coughing just watching them." He then showed "Vol. 2 of 'Come Dance With Us!'"
Des and Dash introduced three more unusual dance moves—"Lunch Box Salute," "Bowling Confetti and "Disco Binoculars"—before demonstrating how to "Check the Door" once again. Back at his desk, Fallon admitted, "Those dances weren't normal. No one would do those dances." Lawrence agreed, telling him, "They really seem very focused on checking the door."
In the final video, Des and Dash did a lightning round where they showed viewers how to "Row the Boat, Check the Pulse," "Slurp the Soup," "Kick Waterfall," "That Doesn't Sound Anything Like Him," "Brow Brow Chicken Cow," "Windshield Wiper" and, of course, "Check the Door."
