Too hilarious. A skit making fun of the fight between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Mike Myers is playing "Mick", whereas the REAL Mick Jagger is playing "Keith", sitting right next to him. It's pretty easy to tell it's Mick on the right. Look closely at his jawline, and face in general, even with the shades on.
