Don’t even try to find context on this one. Will Ferrell is his funniest in 5 minute spurts, so TV appearances like this are a home run. He is making his rounds this week to promote his new movie Get Hard, and I assume since the hot take this week that it’s super racist, Ferrell bailed on the usual movie banter and just went out and was funny.

This is exactly how I like my Will Ferrell. Anchor Man, Elf, Step Brothers? Nope, nope, nope, none made me laugh and the only leading role I ever got behind was Ricky Bobby. You put him in a robe ordering his mom to bring him meatloaf? I’m in stitches.

That’s a perfect portion of Will Ferrell. He was funniest on SNL when he had a 5-10 minute sketch and even if it were a clunker he got his laughs and it was over before it became too nauseating.

The best part about mainstream actor Will Ferrell is when he has a movie he needs to make the rounds. Fortunately, fellow SNL Alumni Jimmy Fallon has a show that can provide Ferrell the platform to lose his mind on TV and, in most cases, go viral the next day.
