Help me out, I’m dying here! I’m trying to remember the name of the movie where the main character, a guy, keeps doing the same karaoke song over and over? Maybe a Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Steve Carell, something… Help!?! ---

It wasn’t an episode of King of the Hill was it? I remember one where Khan kept singing “The Morning After.” ---

> [@middleman](#): > > It wasn’t an episode of King of the Hill was it? I remember one where Khan kept singing “The Morning After.” Thanks but nope. A guy in my office said it was an episode of The Office, but I don’t watch that either. I’m pretty sure it was a movie… ---

In the TV series Angel, the lead character sings the song _Mandy_. Often. ---

Steve Carrell does karoake to “Word Up” in _The 40-Year Old Virgin_, but at home and not in public. ---

> [@Tim\_R.Mortiss](#): > > _500 Days of Summe_r? Or maybe _Blind Date_? Hmmmm, 500 Days of Summer…that’s a definite maybe. I saw it not too long ago and if I recall, he was very drunk when singing it. That might be the one. Thanks! ---

There’s a Kids in the Hall sketch where Bruce McCollough is a competitive karaoke singer who always sings “Freebird.” Then, on the day of the big match, the guy on stage right before him sings it, and he doesn’t have a back up song ready and bombs hugely. ---

In _Stepbrothers_, a brother of either Will Ferrell or the other main character always sang “Ice Ice Baby,” starting when he was in middle school. He later becomes a realtor, and his slogan is “My homes are nice nice baby.” This was one of the few funny parts of the movie.
