Watch Parks & Rec’s Aubrey Plaza And New Girl’s Jake Johnson In A Film Clip For Some Band
Because all of your favourite people on TV are best friends with each other.
Chicago soul/funk act JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound have just released the clip for ‘Rouse Yourself’, which is about to become your new favourite road trip song. But that’s neither here nor there.
The clip stars a dead-weight Jake Johnson (Nick from The New Girl) with his breakfast beers and his dream board, who thinks his girlfriend (played by Aubrey Plaza, aka April in Parks & Recreation) has left him. So he enlists the help of life-guide Nicky Excitement — Arms Dealing/Muscle/Guided Meditation — to get her back. By killing JC Brooks, and stepping up as the frontman.
The clip was directed by Billy Bungeroth who, along with Jake Johnson, is alumni of Chicago’s infamous Second City Improv group. Aubrey Plaza and Johnson acted together in Safety Not Guaranteed — and it turns out yet again that every comic legend in America is best friends with each other.
