Cult Film Skating Spoofs

The Big Lipinski Takes on The Dude in This Hilarious Video

— February 10, 2014 — Pop Culture
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon recently featured a clever figure skating routine entitled The Big Lipinski. Featuring figure skater Tara Lipinski, the routine is inspired by the cult classic film The Big Lebowski and features the song Just Dropped In from the movie. Lipinski is clad in the iconic brown coat worn by Jeff Bridges' character, The Dude. She also is seen holding what is meant to be a White Russian, The Dude's favorite drink in the film.

This figure skating spoof shows how deeply and lovingly ingrained the Big Lebowski is in our culture. The Big Lipinski is a humorous spoof and a simultaneous tribute to a much-loved and highly acclaimed film by the award winning Coen brothers.
