00:00You two should have these.
00:03I bought them for Sabina, but they're useless now.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:08And today, we're counting down our picks for the most notable moments
00:11when Will Ferrell's comedic genius shattered the composers
00:14of his fellow cast members and guest stars on SNL.
00:17He joined in with such gusto
00:19that the red maple room never smelled quite the same.
00:26Number 20, Doctor's Office.
00:28I'm terribly sorry.
00:30I double-booked my patients so I can make more money
00:33and be happier with my life.
00:34What?
00:35I think we want to switch doctors.
00:37Yeah, well, knock yourself out, toots.
00:40But no one knows their way around your giny town like me.
00:43It's always a Herculean task for Jimmy Fallon
00:45to keep his composure in a sketch,
00:47especially when performing opposite Will Ferrell.
00:49In this season 26 sketch,
00:51Ferrell plays a doctor who terrorizes his own patients
00:54just to buy himself some alone time.
00:56When Fallon and host Renee Zellweger walk in as an expectant couple,
00:59he gives them zero grace.
01:01Everything seems to be pretty good.
01:03I can feel the baby kicking.
01:05Maybe he'll grow up to be a place kicker.
01:10Enough!
01:11At first, it seems like Fallon might escape without breaking,
01:14even as Ferrell badmouths him to an individual over the phone.
01:17But when Ferrell unleashes a full-on scream directly at them,
01:21Fallon absolutely folds,
01:23taking Zellweger down with him.
01:24Is that a good enough deal for you?
01:26Huh?
01:27Huh?
01:28You feeling strong?
01:29Fuerte?
01:32Look, I don't want to fight you.
01:36Even Ferrell lets a grin slip,
01:38which only makes it funnier.
01:39Number 19.
01:40The Lovers with Clarissa and Dave.
01:43If you know The Lovers sketches,
01:44you already know Rachel Dratch and Will Ferrell's
01:46Roger and Virginia are practically a containment hazard.
01:49This installment brings Jimmy Fallon back as Dave,
01:52now accompanied by a new date named Clarissa,
01:54played by host Winona Ryder.
01:56Why don't we just go to the room, I think.
01:58Nonsense!
01:59There is no greater aphrodisiac than the hot tub.
02:03Yes!
02:04It's hot tub, not hot tub.
02:05Here, Clarissa becomes completely entranced
02:08by Roger and Virginia's suffocating romantic energy,
02:11leaving Dave feeling like a third wheel on his own date.
02:14Things hold together reasonably well,
02:16that is, until the food and wine arrive.
02:18Remember the first time we ate cake pods?
02:21Let me guess, you were back at the...
02:25Let me guess, you were back at the university,
02:29traveling through Spain, right,
02:30when you met your friend Ted Johnson or something.
02:33The props, combined with Ferrell's escalating commitment to the bit,
02:36send Fallon into barely suppressed giggle territory.
02:39Ryder isn't far behind, too,
02:41as she fights a laugh she clearly didn't budget for.
02:44I'll be shortly there to caress you with hands pruny with chicken grease and chlorine.
02:51Gross!
02:52Oh, Roger and Virginia,
02:55you have helped me see what love is all about.
02:57Number 18, Cobras and Panthers.
03:00Norm Macdonald playing a dead serious gang leader
03:02opposite a cast of dancing delinquents is already a comedy goldmine.
03:06In this West Side Story-inspired sketch,
03:08Macdonald's hardened street thug watches in disbelief
03:11as his own crew spontaneously breaks into theatrical song and dance.
03:14How did you come up with a song so fast?
03:17No, no, it just came to me.
03:19What about...
03:19Just came to you?
03:20It was perfect.
03:21It was like you rehearsed it or something.
03:23Oh, thank you.
03:24Ferrell is one of the gang members,
03:26and when a rival gang shows up to confront them,
03:29Macdonald attempts to rally his boys,
03:31calling them out one by one for backup.
03:33When he gets to Ferrell's character,
03:34Ferrell skips out with a theatrical flourish
03:36that is completely, gloriously wrong for the moment.
03:41Big Jake!
03:44Oh, God, this isn't working out.
03:52Macdonald's famously deadpan delivery waivers just barely,
03:55but enough to notice.
03:57For Norm Macdonald,
03:58that is basically a full breakdown.
04:00What are you, you call that being a cobra?
04:02Boy, show him what it means to be a panther.
04:05Panthers!
04:05Meow!
04:06Cobras!
04:08Panthers!
04:09Meow!
04:10Cobras!
04:12Number 17.
04:13Ventriloquist.
04:14There's something uniquely unhinged
04:16about a ventriloquist's dummy
04:17that gains sentience
04:18specifically to complain about his situation.
04:21So, uh, do you have any plans
04:22for this weekend, Chippy?
04:24You try having plans this weekend
04:27when you got a man's hand up your butt.
04:33I'm not trying to be funny.
04:35This man's entire hand is up my butt.
04:37Ferrell plays Wally Culpepper,
04:39a well-meaning but deeply concerning performer
04:42whose puppet Chippy starts airing
04:43some very uncomfortable grievances mid-act.
04:46Kenan Thompson and Cecily Strong
04:47play a concerned couple
04:48who can barely process what they're seeing.
04:50Their reactions start sincere,
04:52but the longer Ferrell leans into the bit,
04:54the harder it becomes to stay composed.
04:56He said get your hand out of his butt!
04:58He's clearly not into this!
05:01Ladies and gentlemen, please,
05:03it's a puppet.
05:04It's just part of the act.
05:05As they try to intervene,
05:07both Cecily and Kenan crack at separate moments.
05:10The camera catches both of them,
05:11and honestly,
05:12given what Ferrell is doing up there,
05:14the real miracle is that they lasted
05:15as long as they did.
05:24It's easier!
05:27Not with you as a partner, it doesn't.
05:29Number 16.
05:30Scared Straight, SNL 50.
05:32My name is Lorenzo McIntosh.
05:36And my name is all the way Ray May,
05:39because I don't do nothing halfway.
05:42The SNL 50th anniversary special
05:45gave us many gifts,
05:46but perhaps none more unhinged than this.
05:49Kenan Thompson and Eddie Murphy
05:50play two convicts confronting a group of young men
05:52about the harsh realities of prison life.
05:55Then, Will Ferrell walks in as Big Red,
05:57and it becomes immediately clear
05:59that hardly anyone will leave the sketch in one piece.
06:01How is this guy?
06:02That's Big Red.
06:03That's right.
06:04They called me Big Red.
06:06Because of your hair?
06:08No, because I'm well red.
06:11I got six GEDs and a nagging UTI.
06:15Ferrell declares that prison is actually fantastic.
06:18He then launches into a story
06:19that starts as his origin tale
06:21and detours straight into the plot of Elf,
06:23before taking a very, very racy turn.
06:26You're not going to be named Elf.
06:28You're not going to be an Elf named Buddy.
06:32You're not.
06:33No.
06:33No.
06:34You're going to get Elfed in your butt, G.
06:39I'm trying.
06:40I'm trying.
06:41Ferrell himself starts fumbling his own lines.
06:43Thompson and Murphy both crack.
06:45Even Mikey Day and Marcelo Hernandez
06:47can't hold it together.
06:48Because you'll be yelling sort of a nutcracker, all right?
06:53But it won't be no Santa coming to town.
06:55It'll be Santos coming in your brain.
06:57No.
06:58No.
06:59No.
06:59Number 15, Office Break Room.
07:01I'm taking a road trip,
07:02and we stop at a crate and barrel.
07:05And I tell the waitress,
07:07hey, I'm on a diet.
07:08Is there anything in the menu you'd suggest?
07:11And she's like,
07:12sugar pie, you're a crate and barrel.
07:14Even our menus have butter all over them.
07:16Poor Jason.
07:18All he did was accidentally confuse
07:20crate and barrel with cracker barrel,
07:21and suddenly his entire office
07:23won't let him live it down.
07:24Or at least that's what he thinks.
07:26Ferrell plays the wounded co-worker
07:27and begins to spiral dramatically,
07:30squaring off against Chris Redd,
07:31Heidi Gardner, Alex Moffat, and Cecily Strong.
07:34Jason, let it go.
07:35You know what?
07:35You're awful.
07:38All of you are awful.
07:40Okay, calm down, man.
07:42This office is so clicky.
07:44We have moved on, Jason.
07:47His exit strategy,
07:48grabbing the office water dispenser bottle
07:50for a dramatic storming out,
07:52would have been perfectly fine,
07:53except he picks it up completely upside down.
07:56As the water trails his every step,
07:58Cecily Strong's composure cracks ever so slightly.
08:01It certainly doesn't help that Ferrell
08:03remains in the background,
08:04crouching to ensure he stays in frame.
08:07Man, what the hell is wrong with me?
08:09Um, I don't know.
08:11You know, you know?
08:14I don't even know why I'm married to him,
08:17but he's my husband and I love him.
08:19Number 14.
08:20Date in Mexico.
08:21This cut-for-time sketch plays out
08:23almost like a short film,
08:24and Ferrell commits to every agonizing second of it.
08:28He's a romantically optimistic man
08:29at a resort restaurant waiting for his overseas lover,
08:32clearly channeling the energy of a 90-day fiancé episode.
08:45However, his date never shows.
08:51Instead, she calls to dump him.
08:53What follows is a masterclass in escalating emotional chaos.
08:56Ferrell stress eats.
08:57He spirals.
08:58A shoe shiner.
09:00On an outside street.
09:02And I wash feet at a salon.
09:06Oh, okay.
09:08I can't even pay for this stupid lobster I'm eating.
09:13I borrowed the money from the mob.
09:16All the while,
09:17Cecily Strong and Chris Redd can be heard in the background
09:19struggling to keep it together.
09:20But the moment that breaks Cecily completely?
09:23When Ferrell stands to present the handmade bikini
09:25he'd already bought for his lover to her.
09:27You two should have these.
09:31I bought them for Sabina, but they're useless now.
09:34I'm sorry, what is this?
09:35Candy panties for Sabina.
09:38Because she's sweet like candy.
09:40And she wears panties.
09:42I think we're good.
09:43Number 13.
09:44Space.
09:45The Infinite Frontier.
09:46Dr. Kent Waller.
09:47Jeff Goldblum is famously quirky,
09:49but even he couldn't survive Will Ferrell's Harry Carey.
09:52Let me ask, what's your favorite planet?
09:56Well, I don't have a favorite.
09:58I find them all fascinating.
10:01They're all part of a-
10:01Mine's the sun!
10:03In this installment of the recurring sketch,
10:05Ferrell's unhinged broadcaster corners astrophysicist Dr. Kent Waller,
10:09played by Goldblum,
10:10for a chat about Jupiter's moons that very quickly goes somewhere strange.
10:14Carey wants to know why Waller's friends call him Whiskers.
10:17He also wants to know, hypothetically,
10:19whether Waller would eat the moon if it were made of barbecue spare ribs.
10:23We all know that the moon is not made of green cheese.
10:28Yes, that's true, Harry.
10:29But what if it were made of barbecue spare ribs?
10:33Would you eat it then?
10:35What?
10:36I know I would.
10:37Heck, I'd have seconds.
10:38Goldblum laughs several times throughout.
10:41And while he tries to frame it as his character finding Carrie ridiculous,
10:44the seams are very visible.
10:46That's not acting.
10:47That's a man genuinely delighted and slightly bewildered
10:50by whatever Will Ferrell is doing across from him.
10:53How about this mad cow disease?
10:57What about it?
10:58Well, it was here for a while, then it went away.
11:01Your thoughts?
11:05Yes, yes.
11:06It was what was in the news for a while,
11:07and then it disappeared from the news.
11:09Number 12.
11:10Mountaintop Lovers.
11:11Roger and Virginia strike again.
11:13This installment of the Lovers sketch brings in Amy Poehler and Chris Catan
11:17as a new couple subjected to the duo's suffocating boundary, obliterating romance.
11:21So, um, the skiing was good?
11:24Oh, exquisite.
11:26Tell me, have you in the Bear Clown Lodge before?
11:33No, no, we haven't.
11:35This is our first time.
11:36This time, host Jack Black joins the chaos.
11:39Ferrell reprises Roger's iconic stilted vowel inflections,
11:42this time applying the same bizarre treatment to the words Subaru and tow truck.
11:46That choice destroys Rachel Dratch completely.
11:50She physically buries her face in Ferrell's hair to hide her grin.
11:54All the while, I sat in a broke-down Subaru,
12:00dressed in a wizard's costume,
12:03waiting for a tow truck to bring a new fan belt.
12:10Poehler breaks multiple times.
12:12Black, who has the misfortune of being on the receiving end of Ferrell's aggressive thigh stroking,
12:16also cracks.
12:17At a certain point, containing yourself simply becomes impossible.
12:21Roger finally arrived in his wizard's costume.
12:25He joined in with such gusto
12:27that the red maple room never smelt quite the same.
12:33Number 11.
12:34The Sensitive Drill Sergeant
12:35Ferrell's drill sergeant is equal parts intimidating and bizarrely nurturing,
12:39which is already a tricky balance.
12:41Opposite him, David Spade barely stands a chance.
12:44Early on, Spade starts to crack,
12:46and Ferrell immediately turns it into fuel,
12:49punishing him with push-ups while staying fully in character.
12:52Do you think this is funny, Private Peterson?
12:54Drop and give me 20, you insensitive dog turd!
12:57Yes, sir!
12:58Do you need to be a NASA scientist
13:00to realize how uncomfortable I am
13:03opening myself up to you right now?
13:05The real breaking point comes when Ferrell gets in his face,
13:08shouting and poking him with his hat brim
13:10in increasingly aggressive taps.
13:12Spade tries to hold it together,
13:14but the combination of physical comedy
13:16and Ferrell's intensity is too much.
13:18I'd like to sincerely apologize
13:19for the insensitive way I acted earlier, sir.
13:23I was uncomfortable with your vulnerability, sir,
13:26and I chose to maximize my anxiety with a giggle.
13:30I was thoughtless in truth.
13:31I hope you can forgive me, sir.
13:34His smile breaks through,
13:36and from there, it's a losing battle.
13:38Ferrell senses it and keeps going,
13:40turning Spade's laughter into part of the rhythm of the sketch.
13:43Permission to hug you, sir?
13:47Permission granted!
13:52All right, gentlemen!
13:54That's enough of this slumber party!
13:56Number 10.
13:57Reality Stars
13:58Together with Cecily Strong,
14:00Will Ferrell gets to embrace his sassier side in the sketch.
14:03I can't tell you how great it is to be out of L.A.
14:07and back in Flagstaff with my normies!
14:10Give me reg peeps over Holly Woo Woo any day!
14:13The two play a couple that unexpectedly starts shooting footage
14:16for their reality show at a barbecue they're attending.
14:18Their behavior turns outrageous the second the camera starts rolling,
14:22with verbal onslaughts that feel like something straight out of a real Housewives episode.
14:27You need to own it!
14:27You need to own your B.S.
14:29Excuse me?
14:30Hey, don't you dare yell at my wife!
14:34Strong's character tries to chew out her friends,
14:36while Ferrell joins in and hides his laughs,
14:39making others giggle.
14:40He also picks up meat off the grill and throws it,
14:43prompting more laughter.
14:45My wife can't have chicken!
14:49With chaotic energy for days,
14:52this controlled train wreck is exactly the kind of sketch that causes people to break.
14:56Ooh!
14:57Can we use your bathroom?
14:59Oh, yes, please.
14:59Why, so you can poop out your energy wine?
15:01Oh, no, no, no.
15:02We're just going to do drugs in there.
15:04Number 9, Evil Boss.
15:06As an employer from hell,
15:08Will Ferrell can do whatever he wants.
15:10Excuse me, Mr. Tarkanian?
15:11Why are you interrupting me?
15:13Well, I just thought that you...
15:14You thought?
15:15You thought?
15:16You do not interrupt me!
15:17When I am busy, do you understand me?
15:19In this sketch, he is in the process of hiring a new candidate while harassing his other workers in horrible
15:25ways.
15:26It's so ridiculous that Pierce Brosnan, who is playing the applicant,
15:29has a hard time keeping his composure.
15:31Office politics.
15:33Sometimes I think this place is like Ellie McNeil.
15:36Ferrell is at the top of his comedy game here,
15:38so sitting in his vicinity as he yells and mistreats everyone is not easy.
15:43Hey!
15:44Hey!
15:44Now my watch!
15:46Okay, no personal phone calls!
15:48Alright, I should smack you in the mouth!
15:50Brosnan ends up smiling so wide that he has to do some facial gymnastics to keep his cool.
15:54As Ferrell's character takes things to an extreme,
15:57Brosnan at least has the benefit of being able to hide his reaction a little.
16:01It's so wild that it's amazing the others didn't break.
16:04Hey!
16:05You get back here!
16:06Hey!
16:07Number 8.
16:08Cast List
16:08Playing a stuck-up drama teacher in this sketch,
16:11Will Ferrell is a ticking time bomb from the beginning.
16:14I see the sharks are circling the boat.
16:17Oh my god, so funny, Mr. Conan.
16:21Shut up, Beth.
16:22His character really relishes in making the students wait for their casting assignments.
16:27While telling everyone to back away from the board,
16:30he bumps into co-star Aidy Bryant.
16:32Back up, please!
16:34Back up, please!
16:36This sets off a chain reaction where several of the other actors all start to laugh
16:41in a moment that can only be described as thoroughly enjoyable.
16:44Always a consummate professional,
16:47Ferrell tries to recover and snaps back into his evil persona.
16:50First, it must be initialed by the choreographer.
16:53Somehow, everyone stifles their laughter long enough
16:56to make it through this underrated ode to theater programs.
16:59Yes!
17:00Gorgeous, sweet chaos.
17:03Number 7.
17:04Space.
17:04The Infinite Frontier.
17:06NASA Flight Director Linda Hamm.
17:08This surprising version of Harry Carey,
17:11which combines a broadcast legend with science education,
17:13is irresistible.
17:15Joining us in the studio today is Linda Hamm,
17:20the flight director of John Glenn's historic space shuttle mission.
17:24His talk with Linda Hamm takes several twists and turns into unexpected territory.
17:29Joan Allen struggles to hold on,
17:31as she naturally can't take Will Ferrell seriously
17:33while he rambles on as the baseball announcer.
17:35Hey, Linda!
17:37What was it like inventing the space shuttle?
17:41Uh, I didn't invent the shuttle.
17:44Well, I wonder, whoever did made a lot of money.
17:48And then I bet he tried to invent something else,
17:50but it wasn't as good.
17:51Ferrell is so deep into character
17:54that he becomes almost hypnotizing as well as funny.
17:57Linda Hamm!
18:00Linda Hamm!
18:03Linda Hamm!
18:06Does your name ever make you hungry?
18:08As the sketch comes to a close,
18:10Alan basically drops the act,
18:12seemingly realizing that her scene partner is only getting funnier.
18:15We can't argue with her either,
18:16because the comedian's every line is hilarious.
18:19I'm still gonna eat a planet.
18:21See you then!
18:22Comes when!
18:23Comes when!
18:28Number 6.
18:29Dr. Beeman's Office.
18:30Test results.
18:31What begins as a doctor's visit
18:33becomes a fever dream of a sketch.
18:35So how is our baby?
18:37Well, I don't want to keep you in suspense here,
18:40so we'll just get right into it.
18:42Hold on.
18:44Hello?
18:45Beverly!
18:47How the hell?
18:48What?
18:48Will Ferrell's Dr. Beeman informs a couple
18:51that something is wrong,
18:52but does so in the most outrageous way possible.
18:55Honestly?
18:56Ferrell's every move in this sketch
18:58would make any elite performer break.
19:00Now, I'm going to tell you this quickly,
19:01and it's probably going to sting a little bit.
19:04Your son's a witch.
19:06What?
19:06Oh my god, no!
19:07He can't contain himself after Tim Meadows' dance,
19:11leading an already-breaking Molly Shannon
19:12to laugh as well.
19:14What the hell was that?
19:16Look, I couldn't think of anything good.
19:23The truth is...
19:27We misplaced your baby.
19:29The entire idea almost collapses at this point,
19:31with only Chris Parnell being able to keep a straight face.
19:34Before it's all over,
19:35Ferrell readjusts and brings the glorious sketch home
19:38with some solo work.
19:39But the laughs stick with us.
19:42Yikes!
19:48That was a rough!
19:50Number 5.
19:51Short Shorts for the USA
19:53There's just something about Will Ferrell
19:55in too small clothing that gets us every time.
19:58I apologize. I apologize.
20:00The premise of this sketch,
20:01which aired less than a month after 9-11,
20:03is that this group of office workers
20:05has been encouraged to wear their patriotism
20:07on their sleeves.
20:08Literally.
20:09Ferrell was apparently supposed to come in
20:11wearing patriotic short shorts,
20:13but right before airtime supposedly improvised them
20:16into a sort of makeshift thong contraption
20:18that barely hides his modesty.
20:20What's worth a get-up?
20:22Get-up?
20:23What do you mean?
20:24So that's genuine shock on the faces of his co-stars.
20:27And we do not blame any one of them
20:30for losing their composure
20:31when Ferrell makes himself comfortable.
20:33Uh, here's the situation.
20:38We, uh...
20:39Here's the situation we find ourselves in.
20:41His dedication throughout this bit
20:43makes for a hilarious experience
20:45that his collaborators,
20:46like the audience,
20:47clearly love.
20:48The US of A
20:50is the greatest country
20:52on the face of the earth.
20:53And for that,
20:54I will make
20:55no apologies.
21:01Number 4.
21:02Jeffries with Sean Hayes.
21:04This sketch is hilarious from the jump,
21:06and there's a ton of build-up.
21:08Come on, man.
21:09Diesel's hip.
21:10Yeah, a hip that should be replaced.
21:12It all comes down to the finale, though,
21:13when Will Ferrell's boss character arrives.
21:16He strolls in on a scooter
21:17with an icy look
21:18that quickly causes
21:19Jimmy Fallon and Sean Hayes
21:21to lose it.
21:26There's also the little cell phone
21:28that adds another hilarious detail
21:29to his entrance.
21:30Needless to say,
21:31his castmates are basically
21:32left in stitches,
21:33and he himself almost giggles.
21:36Hello.
21:37Yes?
21:39Really?
21:40Splendid.
21:40Fallon is already known for breaking,
21:42but trying to stay composed
21:44while Will Ferrell
21:45is doing some of his best work?
21:46That's tough.
21:47Ferrell doesn't even need
21:48to be in the entire sketch
21:49to steal the spotlight
21:50and generate laughs.
21:52More than perfect.
21:53Allow us to engage the Concord band.
21:54I wish they had something
21:55higher than first class.
21:57Please.
21:58Number 3.
21:58The Lovers with Barbara and Dave.
22:01While trying to enjoy the hot tub,
22:02Jimmy Fallon's Dave
22:03encounters an interesting couple
22:05played by Will Ferrell
22:06and Rachel Dratch.
22:07Is this your first time
22:09at the Welshley Arms Hotel?
22:11Uh, yeah.
22:14And are you here without a lover?
22:17The duo speaks
22:18with indecipherable accents
22:20as they become more ridiculous
22:21with each passing second.
22:23Their strange behavior
22:24starts to put the whole sketch on edge,
22:26sending Fallon
22:27and Drew Barrymore's characters
22:28for a loop.
22:29Dave.
22:31Dave.
22:32Dave.
22:36It's like a Twilight Zone episode
22:38that's played for laughs
22:39that even the cast members
22:41can't resist.
22:42Our dear friend,
22:43Barbara Hernandez,
22:46is the top female archer
22:48in the Northeast Division.
22:51That's unbelievable.
22:53Everyone,
22:53including Ferrell and Dratch,
22:55begin to crack
22:56as the wacky dialogue
22:57gets the best of them.
22:58Ferrell soon brings the house down
22:59as he spits out
23:00his oddly poetic lines
23:02through chuckles.
23:02Was it in our minds?
23:05We don't know.
23:07Number two.
23:09More Cowbell.
23:10Will Ferrell comes in hot
23:11in this iconic sketch.
23:13His character starts playing
23:14the cowbell
23:14in a raucous recording session
23:16that doesn't go as planned.
23:23Given free reign to go wild,
23:25Ferrell goes all out
23:26with his instrument,
23:27and the others have to work
23:29to avoid ending up
23:30in a fit of laughter.
23:30That,
23:31combined with Christopher Walken's
23:33top-notch performance,
23:34makes it hard for the actors
23:35to hold it together.
23:36Jimmy Fallon's drummer
23:37in particular
23:38crumbles
23:39as he tries to tell off
23:40his bandmate,
23:41and he can't help but laugh
23:42as Ferrell and Walken
23:43do their thing.
23:44You're being so selfish, Gene!
23:46It is a perfect storm
23:47of hilarity
23:48that makes this sketch
23:49extra memorable.
23:50So,
23:51anything else
23:56all
23:57whatever
24:03you've been
24:04heard
24:12before we continue,
24:14check out this single
24:15from Sound Mojo's album Current, EDM Transformed.
24:18Check out the full track and album below.
24:35Number 1. Gus Chiggins, Old Prospector.
24:39We're not sure how this character found his way into this sketch,
24:41but we are glad he's here.
24:43The last name is Chiggins.
24:46C-H-I-G-G-I-N-S.
24:51Chiggins.
24:53And I thought my hearing was bad.
24:56Gus Chiggins is the odd man out in a military operation that's about to ship out.
25:01Unsurprisingly, the other men have some questions and concerns
25:04about the Old Prospector being there in the first place.
25:07I'm just afraid that with all of his pots and pans banging around,
25:10the Old Prospector's gonna compromise that.
25:13Why don't you just worry about yourself and leave the prospecting up to Old Gus Chiggins?
25:18Will Ferrell's absurd performance makes every second of the bizarre premise worth it.
25:22His voice, mannerisms, and overall demeanor need to be seen to be believed.
25:27Most of the cast breaks one by one as they have to keep asking about Chiggins.
25:31As I've said before, a hundred times before, each unit has been assigned an Old Prospector.
25:39Okay?
25:40While the other cast members are supposed to act mad at the outsider,
25:44they cannot contain their giggles after Ferrell's lines.
25:47And if you hear me make the sound of a chipmunk, stay real still.
25:51How do we know what that sounds like?
25:53Oh, trust me, Joshua.
25:55You'll know.
26:05Did we miss a Ferrell moment that had you losing it right along with the cast?
26:09Drop it in the comments.
26:10You'll know.
26:13Just
26:14You
26:14You
