According to Funny or Die, this is a little vignette called “Wikus and Charlize”, which originally played as an intro clip during the South African Music Awards (which is apparently something that exists). In it, District 9′s Sharlto Copley reprises his role as Wikus van de Merwe, the Afrikaaner Steve Carell, and tries to convince fellow South African Charlize Theron to appear with him at the awards show. I post it mainly because I know there are many of you who can’t get enough of Wikus from District 9. I enjoy it too, even though Afrikaaners sound like scary witch people, and if I ran into one I’d probably burn it alive just to be safe. This must be what they listen to while they wait for their babies to cook.

If my sensitivity training has taught me anything, it’s that they’re called African Americans and that those people aren’t African Americans because they’re not black.
I undergo sensitivity training in my pants whenever I think about Charlize Theron too long.
Excuse me, I’ve gotta go . . . do . . something . . .
penis.
Shit, sensitivity training in Iowa ain’t much more than how to tie a proper knot.
So he plays a character, but he’s referencing himself at the Oscars… trying to… aw fuck it, just delightful.

It´s more the afrikaneer Spike Jonze
Wikus?! They don’t hardly know us!
The SAMA’s are fun to watch. The South African Major Box Office awards are a hold over from the old days though.
