As a film enthusiast with a soft spot for comedic skits that poke fun at real-life events, I must say that Rachel Dratch‘s impersonation of Raygun during Jimmy Fallon’s show was nothing short of hilarious! The way she mimicked Raygun’s unique dance moves and outfit was spot-on, making it an instant hit for me.
It was inevitable that a comedian would satirize Australian breakdancer Raygun, whose performance at the Paris Olympics over the weekend resulted in zero points and sparked numerous memes. On Monday night, during “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Rachel Dratch did just that by interrupting the late-night host’s monologue with some eccentric dance moves.
“Breakdancing was introduced at the Olympics for the first time, and the performance by an Australian dancer named Raygun continues to spark conversation,” Fallon noted, then played a video clip showcasing Raygun’s routine filled with groundwork and leaps resembling those of a nimble rabbit.
“I can’t help but ponder where Raygun might be at this moment,” I mused aloud, interrupted by the music that the breakdancer had incorporated into her act. Then, from behind the curtain, Dratch stepped out, mirroring Raygun in attire and dancing to the Australian’s now iconic routine.
“Gee whiz, it’s great to see you, Raygun!” Fallon exclaimed with a giggle in between. “I must say, I can’t help but wonder, how have you been feeling since your recent show?” (or simply, “How are you feeling following your performance, Raygun?”)
Dratch mimicked Raygun’s response by breaking into a dance, lowering himself to the ground, and performing an extraordinary series of spins and contortions. “Ah, so Raygun communicates through his dance,” Fallon remarked. “Got it.” (In this paraphrase, I tried to maintain the original meaning while using more casual language and a simpler sentence structure.)
Following that, Fallon began to dance alongside Dratch, both of them wriggling on the floor and performing a series of bunny-like hops while The Roots provided the music.
After her Olympic debut, Raygun shared with reporters through ESPN that all her actions or maneuvers are unique.
“She expressed, ‘Creativity holds great significance in my life. I express this creativity through my work, which may resonate with the judges or not. Regardless, I remain true to myself and my artistic expression. To me, that’s what art is all about.'”
