Have you ever found yourself caught in a loop?

Like when someone asks you how you’re doing? You reply “fine thanks and you?”

Then they reply “fine, thanks and you?”

And you’re off – stuck in an endless exchange of platitudes.

This is kind of like that, except it takes place in a bar, between two men determined to outdo each other.

E! News has some background on the latest sketch featuring Brad Pitt on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

It starts off slow. At a restaurant, Jimmy Fallon receives a martini, “Courtesy of the gentleman at the bar,” explains the waiter. That gentleman, naturally, is Brad Pitt. In return, Fallon sends over a coffee to his friend, who is already sipping on a small espresso.

And what could have been a single, nice gesture turns into an all-out war of who can one-up the other. Pitt sends over a scorpion bowl with a medium rare steak and fries. Fallon offers a seafood tower. There’s a pyramid of Ferrero Rocher—the Tonight Show host gladly pops one in his mouth—and an Edible Arrangement. (Of course, the Ad Astra actor licks it.)

I won’t ruin the ending, but I will tell you that it keeps getting more and more extravagant.

Enjoy:
