college was a great time for me because of this song.

- Yeah.
- (Laughing continues) - Joseph was a little jealous of your thrusting down there - You like that? - I noticed.
- I was just over here using my imagination.
We had two very different styles of thrusting, though, which I appreciated.
We had Joe who was a little jackrabbit.
- Yeah, he know.
(Imitates jackhammer sound) - And then and then we had - what do you mean "little"? - What do you what do you mean "little"? - What? What? - Some of us like that.
- LL Cool J: The jackrabbit? I like it.

I'm picking you up.
Seth, do you like Katy Perry? I do.
So, yeah, what do you think of Katy Perry, Seth? I love Katy Perry.
I don't know where it goes from here is all I can say.
That was I think he got that little chunk of the stage pregnant if I'm not mistaken.
(All laughing) No, that was that was a sexually-charged performance.
Yeah, that was (stutters) My instinct was to throw dollar bills on him.
I don't know what that says.
But that was my instinct.
- Anthony, join your co-star in the VIP, please.
- Oh, my bad, - I'm still thinking about Katy Perry, my bad.
- Nah, you good, you good.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Round one is over, but when we come back, round two of A-Mack versus JGL is on.
Who will make out with the "Lip Sync Battle" belt under their tree? - Stay with us.
- I kissed a girl and I liked it the taste of - (Cheering continues) - ra pa pam pam ra pa pam pam.
I am in the Christmas spirit.
I'm always in the Christmas spirit.
That's what I'm known for.
(All laughing) Yeah, when most people describe me, it's "Christmas-y.
" (Laughs) - Great.
You have little footies.
- Perfect.
- Awesome.
- So, I don't wear my shoes in there? No, unless you want to.
- No, I don't want to.
- I mean, they're padded on there, but and then, you have a little hat - and it's adjustable, so - Great.
So, basically, you just get to hang out on set in pajamas all day.
- It's like you're the luckiest guy - Who can argue with that? - on the show.
- That's exciting.
It's all a white Christmas surprise, surprise just a bit of slush in the park outside - one side of the lights in the trees - You're naughty.
(Laughs) So naughty.
(Woman mumbles) Joy to the world to every Seth: It's really comfortable.
Honestly, it's I'm not wearing anything underneath this.
Man: Clear the steadicam aisle, please.
Joe is quite the performer.
Yeah, he puts a lot of effort into whatever he does.
He goes big or goes home.
- So, let's just do it a few more times.
- Absolutely.
- Yeah.
- Mackie on the other hand, is Papa Doc from the hit film, "8 Mile.
" Right? That's what you do, homie, right there.
You gotta breathe.
You won't be able to breathe.
Is this (Laughs) Seth: I believe he was in a rap group as a child.
Yeah, he's Hawkman.
Or whatever, Falcon, whatever he is.
I just saw "Ant-Man.
" It was great.
That scene was awesome.
Yeah, that scene was really good.
We just touched hands.
It's okay, though.
(Laughs) Too gangster for TV that's right, you don't see us but they still want to be us - what - So That's why I'm not competing.
I haven't.
I never made one.
- You never did that? - I never did one.
Gangster for TV that's right, you don't see us (Imitating James Brown) Talking 'bout Christmas.
- Yeah, exactly, yeah.
- What's fame? - Gangster for TV - It's quite a production.
(Stutters) The production value seems more much more than I expected it to be, honestly.
Too gangster for TV The goods I'm gonna take those cakes and I'm gonna take all that (Bleep) home with me, trust me.
We're already planning it.
- (Audience cheers) - LL Cool J: All right, welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle.
" Right now, our battlers are teaming up together.
They're taking it back to 1987.
A long time ago.
With a song that really hits home for me, since it's about where I grew up.
It really is.
Paying homage to the kings from Queens with a holiday classic, here's Joe Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie and Seth Rogen, doing something you're absolutely going to love.

Woman: Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.

- Uh-huh.
I think the more metal, the better.
- Cool.

These are the boots that you're going to be - Wonderful.
Maybe, can I put those on now? - Dancing in.
You absolutely, 100% can.
Do you want to rehearse in the hat? That's a great idea, yeah.
Thank you.

And I love that's it's not about, like, (British accent) "We're going to judge you and maybe you'll be the next Idol or maybe you won't.
" It's none of that, it's just, like, "let's have fun because this stuff is supposed to be fun.
" - LL Cool J: Absolutely.
- No judgments.
LL Cool J: Yo.
Seth, what are you thinking right now? Like, Joseph Gordon-Levitt-Jackson.
I'm having (Stutters) some conflicting feelings, honestly.
I thought you killed it, man.
That was unbelievable.
- Thank you.
- The synchronicity of it all.
- Your dick doesn't look as good as Mackie's did.
- I know, it never will.
It never will.
Seth: If I was judging this on on dick and balls alone, Mackie would have it.
- Chrissy: Don't worry, we're not.
- I understand.
- He would take that.
I'll take that.
- Seth: In the sack.
Yes, the package would've been delivered and he would he would have it, but unfortunately, that's not what - this contest is based on.
- I wore these baggy pants - on purpose.

- Not Not Dick Sync Battle.
But, um Right.

He had a little yearning in his eyes over He took me to the club.
Took me to the next level.
That was a lot of thrusting.
- I thought you showed me a side of you - Yo.

I'm not surprised to hear him say that, actually.
- (Chrissy laughs) - So, Seth, you know both guys - that you know - Yeah.
- Joe came out swinging.
- That was dope.
The view from back here was particularly dope.
- I gotta say.
- (Laughing continues) (Woman catcalls) The view from the shelf was on fire.
This jumpsuit is a little bit tighter now.
- That's all I can say.
- (Groaning) Oh.
LL Cool J: I love it.
Joe, grab some holiday cheer - Yes, sir, thank you.
- Up in the VIP.
So, Anthony, come on over.
You ready to show us what you got? I think I got a little somethin' for the people.
- You know what I mean? - (Catcalling continues) Yeah, yeah, somethin', somethin'.
- (Laughs) Yeah.
What'd you pick? - I'm down.
Um, I think, you know, (Stutters) it's funny, but for me, this song, it just quantifies every girl's college experience.
- Oh.
Interesting.
- Uh-oh.
- And, you know, it's just - Oh.
college was a great time for me because of this song.
- (Audience laughs) - LL Cool J: Well, ladies and gentlemen, Anthony Mackie.
(Cheering continues) ("I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry plays) Oh! This was never the way I planned not my intention I got so brave drink in hand lost my discretion it's not what I'm used to just want to try you on I'm curious for you caught my attention I kissed a girl and I liked it the taste of her cherry chapstick - Oh! - I kissed a girl and I liked it I liked it (Audience cheering) No, I don't even know your name it doesn't matter you're my experimental game just human nature it's not what good girls do not how they should behave my head gets so confused hard to obey us girls we are so magical soft skin, red lips so kissable hard to resist so touchable too good to deny it ain't no big deal I kissed a girl and I liked it the taste of her cherry chapstick I kissed a girl just to try it I hope my boyfriend don't mind it it felt so wrong it felt so right don't mean I'm in love tonight I kissed a girl and I liked it I liked it.
(Cheering continues) Yes.
Yeah.
Would that be Mack-me-cum-laude or - Chrissy like, "um - (Laughs) - "I don't have to " - It hit a little too close to home for me, and I only went to community college.
- Yeah.
- (Laughing continues) - Joseph was a little jealous of your thrusting down there - You like that? - I noticed.
- I was just over here using my imagination.
We had two very different styles of thrusting, though, which I appreciated.
We had Joe who was a little jackrabbit.
- Yeah, he know.
(Imitates jackhammer sound) - And then and then we had - what do you mean "little"? - What do you what do you mean "little"? - What? What? - Some of us like that.
- LL Cool J: The jackrabbit? I like it.
LL Cool J: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like the jackrabbit versus the go-for-broke stroke, right? - Yeah.
That's gonna be off - Get under - you know what I mean, like - Yes.
You know what I mean? It's very true.
Anthony, are you a big Katy Perry fan? I have to say, you know, everybody have their list.
(Exhales) Katy Perry If she ever, like, wanna come to the hood - (Audience cheers) - Chrissy: Oh.
Anthony Mackie, you are not in the hood.
I ain't gonna send her a car.
No Uber for you, chick.
I'm picking you up.
Seth, do you like Katy Perry? I do.
So, yeah, what do you think of Katy Perry, Seth? I love Katy Perry.
I don't know where it goes from here is all I can say.
That was I think he got that little chunk of the stage pregnant if I'm not mistaken.
(All laughing) No, that was that was a sexually-charged performance.
Yeah, that was (stutters) My instinct was to throw dollar bills on him.
I don't know what that says.
But that was my instinct.
- Anthony, join your co-star in the VIP, please.
- Oh, my bad, - I'm still thinking about Katy Perry, my bad.
- Nah, you good, you good.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Round one is over, but when we come back, round two of A-Mack versus JGL is on.
Who will make out with the "Lip Sync Battle" belt under their tree? - Stay with us.
- I kissed a girl and I liked it the taste of - (Cheering continues) - ra pa pam pam ra pa pam pam.
I am in the Christmas spirit.
I'm always in the Christmas spirit.
That's what I'm known for.
(All laughing) Yeah, when most people describe me, it's "Christmas-y.
" (Laughs) - Great.
You have little footies.
- Perfect.
- Awesome.
- So, I don't wear my shoes in there? No, unless you want to.
- No, I don't want to.
- I mean, they're padded on there, but and then, you have a little hat - and it's adjustable, so - Great.
So, basically, you just get to hang out on set in pajamas all day.
- It's like you're the luckiest guy - Who can argue with that? - on the show.
- That's exciting.
It's all a white Christmas surprise, surprise just a bit of slush in the park outside - one side of the lights in the trees - You're naughty.
(Laughs) So naughty.
(Woman mumbles) Joy to the world to every Seth: It's really comfortable.
Honestly, it's I'm not wearing anything underneath this.
Man: Clear the steadicam aisle, please.
Joe is quite the performer.
Yeah, he puts a lot of effort into whatever he does.
He goes big or goes home.
- So, let's just do it a few more times.
- Absolutely.
- Yeah.
- Mackie on the other hand, is Papa Doc from the hit film, "8 Mile.
" Right? That's what you do, homie, right there.
You gotta breathe.
You won't be able to breathe.
Is this (Laughs) Seth: I believe he was in a rap group as a child.
Yeah, he's Hawkman.
Or whatever, Falcon, whatever he is.
I just saw "Ant-Man.
" It was great.
That scene was awesome.
Yeah, that scene was really good.
We just touched hands.
It's okay, though.
(Laughs) Too gangster for TV that's right, you don't see us but they still want to be us - what - So That's why I'm not competing.
I haven't.
I never made one.
- You never did that? - I never did one.
Gangster for TV that's right, you don't see us (Imitating James Brown) Talking 'bout Christmas.
- Yeah, exactly, yeah.
- What's fame? - Gangster for TV - It's quite a production.
(Stutters) The production value seems more much more than I expected it to be, honestly.
Too gangster for TV The goods I'm gonna take those cakes and I'm gonna take all that (Bleep) home with me, trust me.
We're already planning it.
- (Audience cheers) - LL Cool J: All right, welcome back to "Lip Sync Battle.
" Right now, our battlers are teaming up together.
They're taking it back to 1987.
A long time ago.
With a song that really hits home for me, since it's about where I grew up.
It really is.
Paying homage to the kings from Queens with a holiday classic, here's Joe Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie and Seth Rogen, doing something you're absolutely going to love.
