1
I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt because it says like, I want to be formal, but I'm here to party too.
2
Is it sad that I laugh that much at my own stuff?
3
Yeah.
4
Hi, I'm Will Ferrell
5
and today I'm going to be rewatching some of the scenes from throughout my career and we'll start right now.
6
Begin!
7
One of my favorite scenes in the movie, it's such an incredible joke bag.
8
Before we get into the fight, Brick Tamlin played by Steve Carell is holding a grenade.
9
We don't know how he got a hold of it.
10
There is a man on fire, there is someone being dragged by a net by horseback,
11
which is kind of an homage to early Planet of the Apes.
12
I think it's something like 30 to 35 different setups with two units,
13
a stunt unit working at the same time as the main
14
film unit in downtown LA in the middle of July and I think it was 100 degrees that day.
15
It's so damn hot!
16
And we only had the one day to complete all that.
17
And it's probably a scene that should have taken three days to shoot.
18
So silly, so absurdist.
19
I think it is really one of the touchstone moments that defines the tone of Anchorman.
20
I think Adam and I wanted to create this film
21
where we got to indulge every comedy idea we ever had and follow it all the way through without someone telling us, no, that scene's too long.
22
No one would ever do that.
23
That doesn't make sense.
24
And we just wanted to be like, it may not make sense, but it's just funny.
25
I think when people saw that film, they're like, this feels like someone gave you the keys to a car
26
and you're five years old and you don't know how to drive.
27
No one wanted to make it.
28
No one understood why this would be funny.
29
We just felt like we were playing with the house's money
30
and let's just make the craziest film we can because we may never be allowed to make another movie ever again.
31
Your tiny Jesus, your golden fleece diapers with your tiny little fat balled up fist paw.
32
It was a man.
33
He had a beard.
34
Look, I like the baby version the best.
35
Do you hear me?
36
I win the races and I get the money.
37
I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt because it says like, I want to be formal, but I'm here to party too.
38
Because I like to party.
39
So I like my Jesus to party.
40
Is it sad that I laugh that much at my own stuff?
41
Yeah.
42
Of course, it makes sense that they would pray before having a meal.
43
But the fact that Ricky's obsessed with the baby Jesus and to just follow that thread to the end.
44
And shooting those kind of scenes around a dinner table or lunch table, it's painstaking.
45
That took all day for maybe a two minute, two and a half minute scene.
46
We were having so much fun.
47
I remember feeding lines to the kids and the camera operator was laughing so hard.
48
He called cut himself.
49
He was like, I'm sorry.
50
It's so unprofessional.
51
I can't stop laughing.
52
And I don't think you can use that take.
53
The camera's just bouncing.
54
And because we just kept feeding every line we could think of.
55
Shut up, Chip, or I'll go ape shit on your ass.
56
I'm gonna scissor kick you in the back of the head.
57
I'm 10 years old, but I'll beat your ass.
58
Chip, I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey.
59
Greatest generation of my ass, Tom Brokaw is a punk.
60
Chip, I'm gonna jack up on Mountain Dew.
61
What's fun about that is I've now,
62
I've been sent sermons from other pastors at churches who have taken excerpts of that scene
63
and have presented it to their congregation.
64
And that stuff's just, it's really cool.
65
We're also having fun in our own way with kind of the gross exploitation of product placements
66
and how they had to mention endorsements in a family prayer as if anyone was watching.
67
Also due to a binding endorsement contract that stipulates I mentioned Powerade at each grace, I just want to say that Powerade is delicious and it cools you off on a hot summer day.
68
And we look forward to Powerade's release of Mystic Mountain Blueberry.
69
It's always fun when you can have a little satirical glint to some of the stuff you're doing.
70
When that film came out, a little bit of what I heard about was the reaction to Blazing Saddles from Mel Brooks.
71
He said that they were really worried about the middle of the country
72
and how they would react to a movie like that.
73
And he said, you know where we sold the most movie tickets?
74
Texas.
75
And Talladega did that.
76
Like, race fans were satisfied.
77
I had people, NASCAR fans going, thanks for being true to the sport.
78
I was like, oh, you're welcome.
79
Wait, did we?
80
Oh, yeah, we did.
81
And then people in LA and New York going, how did they let you make that movie?
82
It was so fun to kind of split the difference and satisfy both audiences.
83
It's time for an announcement.
84
Okay.
85
Okay, people, tomorrow morning, 10 a.m., Santa's coming to town!
86
Santa!
87
Oh my God!
88
So here's what's funny about this scene in Elf is that I don't think we ever rehearsed it.
89
Faison, in that scene who plays the manager, that's the first time.
90
If you watch that clip again, he's barely hanging on.
91
I don't even think I told Jon Favreau, the director, that I was going to play it that way, to play it that way, but it wasn't like it got a big crew laugh either.
92
It was just like, Will's acting crazy.
93
What's going on?
94
I love that that became such a big part of the film.
95
Another fun fact is that toy store is shot in an old mental hospital in Vancouver, Canada.
96
We use that as the interior of the department store.
97
So no one knows that till now.
98
That scene specifically, it's a real metaphor for the entire character.
99
The fun of this movie is going to be a fish out of water story, but he's going to have to be so excited about discovering this new world.
100
And the game is going to be
101
that he finds joy in the most mundane thing that those of us in the human world take for granted.
102
And so we kept trying to challenge ourselves to what would logically make sense.
103
And of course, he's away from home and he doesn't realize that it's not a real Santa.
104
So the fact that a Santa is coming to visit, that would be his reaction.
105
Santa!
106
Not only because Santa's one of his favorite people, but at the relief that he's finally going to come across someone he knows really well.
107
I know him.
108
You'll be here to take pictures with all the children.
109
Yeah.
110
Just keep your receipts.
111
10 a.m tomorrow.
112
10 a.m tomorrow.
113
Santa's coming to town.
114
Yes.
115
John really had such a vision as to what this movie could be.
116
I think he really was cognizant of trying to make it feel like a classic, like a film that he kind of, you know, felt nostalgic for.
117
And that comes through, I think, in his choice of music.
118
It was his idea to kind of shoot the North Pole through with the forced perspective, not really use any CGI,
119
which was really challenging at times.
120
I think we were a good combination is that I pushed for a little bit more of the silly comedy.
121
pushed for more of the heart and between that tug of war,
122
that's a, no it's a train, there's a train that's coming to pick me up.
123
I travel by train, little miniature train.
124
My oldest son didn't like watching it because he's like, dad I don't like it when that man yells at at you.
125
So when James Caan gets mad at me and sends me away, he's like, I can't, I don't like it when he's mean to you.
126
So that was his last time.
127
He watched it.
128
I've been here for two weeks, and I'm walking around this place thinking I've got a huge doucher for a stepbrother.
129
Secretly, you're not a doucher.
130
Let's play a game, all right?
131
On the count of three, name your favorite dinosaur.
132
Really fun, heightened exploration of what would these two 40-year-old men who are still kids have in their possession.
133
Of course a samurai sword, signed by Randy Jackson.
134
Why do you have it signed?
135
Well, I ran into him at the airport.
136
I'm not gonna not get his autograph.
137
Which I've had many TSA officers ask me, you don't have a samurai sword with you?
138
I'm like, no, I do not.
139
But night vision goggles, most favorite magazine non-pornographic to masturbate to.
140
Good housekeeping.
141
Favorite celebrity you have a crush, John Stamos.
142
Favorite dinosaur velociraptor.
143
To have that build to become, did we just become best friends?
144
And then do you want to destroy things in the garage?
145
Yes, let's go do it.
146
That kind of kicks off their friendship
147
and is a tonal marker as to what is going to happen throughout the rest of this film.
148
If you were a chick, who's the one guy you would sleep with?
149
John Stamos.
150
I don't know if I've ever heard from John Stamos, but I think if it was bad, I would have heard.
151
I think he's happy, right?
152
How can he not be?
153
Yeah. Where is Burt Reynolds?
154
Burt Reynolds' poet, it just vanished.
155
He was never here, Trebek.
156
Yes, he was.
157
No, he wasn't.
158
I didn't write that sketch ever, so it felt like such a gift to get to do Alex Trebek.
159
I had impersonated Trebek at a sketch at the Groundlings way back in the day.
160
Oh, Mr. Schiff, did you hear that?
161
She said she wants you back.
162
I forget if they were already working on A Jeopardy.
163
I was like, by the way, I can do an Alex Trebek.
164
And my impersonation is on that show.
165
I wasn't as gifted as a technician as like Daryl Hammond was who could do a voice letter perfect.
166
I always had to infuse.
167
It was always gonna be a little part of me in every impersonation.
168
So it was just fun to show this other side of this guy who was
169
so buttoned down and perfect and never lost his temper in real life, but to have him be exasperated with idiot celebrities was just very pleasing.
170
Negative $69, okay, that wasn't your score.
171
Well, 69 is how I scored with your mother last night.
172
Pow!
173
All right, let's just move on to the category for double jeopardy.
174
Alex always being tormented by Sean Connery.
175
I was always fascinated that the writers could come up with a new category
176
that Sean Connery would interpret it in a very vulgar way.
177
I'll take the rapists for 200.
178
That's therapists.
179
And Norm would always play Burt Reynolds.
180
And Norm, there was one of the times, oh, this light just went out.
181
Do we care?
182
Maybe that was Norm trying to reach me from the other side.
183
Maybe.
184
Of course, Trebek would always get so exasperated at Burt Reynolds.
185
And there was one One of the ones, I think it's one where Norm just shows up wearing a big foam cowboy hat for no reason.
186
Trebek loses his shit on, and the sketch kind of ended with me screaming at him.
187
Good night!
188
Would you get that off me!
189
Then we walked off, you know, we're changing for the next thing and Norm's like, hey, are you mad at me?
190
I go, what do you mean?
191
I was like, well, you really got upset.
192
I'm like, no, Norm, I'm just playing a character.
193
That's how good an actor I am.
194
But I'll always remember Norm thinking I was really upset with him.
195
You know, but of course I was not.
196
What's that?
197
You're gonna have to speak up louder than that.
198
Oh, you want to go far.
199
You want to go into outer space.
200
You're gonna go flying through that air, screaming your head off with pure ecstasy you explode into the cosmos.
201
Do the damn thing.
202
Okay, let's do it.
203
Let's go for a ride.
204
This is in the first episode of The Hawk, and we established the fact that Lonnie Hawkins, my character, loves to talk to his golf ball,
205
which I think was an idea maybe pitched by David Gordon Green,
206
who's one of our producers and directed the pilot.
207
And we set up this ritual that he has a relationship with the golf ball, which I bet you there's some golfers who talk to a golf ball.
208
It seems to make sense.
209
Down, down, down.
210
It's fun that he thinks talking to this inanimate object will actually have an influence on his game.
211
That's how it's done!
212
That's how it's done!
213
To get to have the luxury of 10 episodes where you get to really build this character
214
and you get to see all the quirks
215
and you have kind of fun little details all along the way
216
and to have it be irreverent and a little more R-rated,
217
strong PG-13, and to where a cast doesn't feel inhibited.
218
And it's kind of hearkening back to old school Step Brothers things where we really kind of let it rip.
219
It's just so much fun.
220
It's so much fun to kind of return to that.
221
I mean, the show has much more depth
222
and heart than I thought it was going to have when we first set up, But I'm really happy it has both.
223
I love kind of being able to return to something like this.
224
Do you golf?
225
No. That is the stupidest question I've ever been asked.
226
Of course I do.
227
Do I not look like a golfer?
228
I'm really good.
229
What's your name?
230
The next question.
231
I don't want to get into that.
232
I'm like a 17, okay?
233
But you don't even know what that means, do you?
234
I'm a birdie.
235
No, it's not.
236
Okay, you really don't know.
237
Okay, well just continue.
238
Well, this has been an amazing stroll down memory lane.
239
Thanks for watchin'.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
