[@fafafagat]

his feel like one of those videos that's extremely funny to you, but when you show your friends, it's not funny to them, and they'll just think you're some fart face.

[@dewchamp5716]

I feel this.

[@fafafagat]

@@kingkennedythomasphiri8358 ayo you just brought me back to a video I haven't been to in five years. I think this was before I was a big fan of bill hader

[@Devolutionator]

Dude you are so right. I love this sketch, but when I show it to others, they don't get it. They must have fart in their ears.

[@ChiefVizier]

nailed it, fartface

[@teddyochfreddy]

Bill Hader talked about this sketch in the latest episode of The Rewatchables! Apparently it got zero laughs when they tried it out, but Lorne Michaels liked it so much so it made it to tv anyway.

[@theanti-monitor6816]

It's actually awesome.

[@SuperJNG18]

Lorne Michaels is all right.

[@graydenday3760]

He talked about it a week ago on the Turned out Punk podcast too.

[@davidgalinat4257]

My guess is this aired at 12:56 am.

[@roykentseyebrows4196]

Hader has said that it played to absolute dead silence during dress rehearsal. During the main show, they followed Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin and just before they went on stage, Brolin turned to them and said, "Ok, guys... Let's shut these fuckers up."

[@joecollins2513]

Say what you like about Will Forte, but he always gave every sketch 100%. Every time.

[@nekomochi486]

I'm sure everyone only has good things to say about him! His angry sketches are SNL gold.

[@jfrsnjhnsn]

I WILL say what I like about Will Forte. He is a fart face.

[@jverkaik100]

Who is saying what they like about Will, and what is it that they like to say? If it's that he's a fart face, I can assure you, he is not a fart face.

[@Jimmersaunt]

One of the more underrated performers on this show. His characters were hilarious!

[@tangibleandroid285]

Every. Single. Time.

[@dalyand5944]

This sketch is so stupid so why am I laughing so hard? I think it's because these actors are committed 100% to this ridiculousness.

[@einsjam]

I like you.

[@Jarek_73]

Very well put. Todays constant breaking and cue cards watching can never work.

[@tarff26]

Agreed. The commitment sells this 100%.

[@jesusian7]

It's hysterical. Will Forte is awesome

[@b.lonewolf417]

I love it when the actors are so committed to the sketch like this! Breaking is not charming or endearing. It's just unprofessional and cringeworthy.

[@atomicagegamer3693]

"He is a smart face..." slays me. It's like he's channeling a reassuring childhood pep talk, from his mom.

[@jamesandrews8157]

I love Bill Hader's story on Norm's podcast about having the sketch bomb at dress and then when it was showtime, Brolin, knowing it's likely to bomb turn to Will and Bill and says "well.... let's shut these fuckers up"

[@jaygasper4853]

I don't get it , how is it bombing going to shut them up

[@qotsashfifty4]

Haha he told the same story on The Rewatchables

[@qotsashfifty4]

@@jaygasper4853 as in, they’re going to stop the audience from laughing. Great line.

[@alittlebitgone]

@@jaygasper4853 Do you laugh a lot watching bombing comedy?

[@Oink_McJeffery]

​@@jaygasper4853part of the story was Amy Poehler had done some sort of rap that had set the place off and everyone was laughing and this skit directly followed that.

[@rememberingmogu]

This might just be the worst, most immature skit in SNL history... and I love it

[@jk6491]

So did Lorne Michaels, apparently.

[@davidgalinat4257]

This sketch was written by 6 year olds. And the fact they decided to play as old men makes it more hilarious for some reason.

[@cpresto2]

cuz they're all acting like they're trying to win an Emmy 😂

[@aminm369]

You forgot andy samberg sketches

[@bumperroan8211]

It truly has no redeeming value, but since it's about farts, it's hilarious!

[@PreLeisureTrax]

There's something so satisfying about Will Forte screaming

[@stinkfingeradamwest]

I love when hader and forte share videos

[@williamturner79]

I'm pretty sure it'll be more satisfying to get some help

He gets such energy without losing composure 😄

[@DimIsHigh]

This is one of, if not the, most unhinged, wild and nonsensical sketch in SNL history. An absolute classic and a masterpiece.

[@sidiyer841]

I still think potato chip takes that title but this one feels oddly realistic tbh

[@DimIsHigh]

@@sidiyer841 I'm rewatching it right now, and yeah, strong contender, but not nonsensical enough imho (for the comparison)

[@ellelaroux8689]

@Sid Iyer you made this comment A YEAR ago, and I just saw "fart face" and came to the comments to mention the potato chip.

[@HerrDurkslag]

Ok I know the entire audience was basically dead quiet for this entire sketch, but I absolutely love it. It's such a dumb, silly concept but every actor is giving it their all, Brolin's reactions are absolutely hilarious and the "he shot himself" at the end is such a dark, unexpected twist. I genuinely adore this sketch.

[@TiqueO6]

A good tell on any sketch is how it ends and when it ends in a death that usually means the writers just had nowhere else to go in the time allotted. Of course this was a purely conceptual sketch and all about commitment and intensity. Overall it worked for me but I don't love endings like this one had.

[@rolandmeyer3729]

​@@TiqueO6 The reason you don't like the ending is bcuz you're a FARTFACE ! 🦨🎺

[@smithintern-tainment7868]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Brolin is in this

[@jeffreykweder8337]

The funniest part is the immediate affable willingness to cover his ears.

[@andthedragon]

I remember seeing this the first time - Brolin's delivery of "He is a clean face" killed me.

[@daveintheAM]

Yeah, weird to see a non comedian host just match the energy so well

[@jldude84]

And to appreciate how sunburned he appeared.

[@BrianBattles]

I love how the vein in his neck pops out

[@brianstephens8337]

" if that's unreasonable, I never want to be reasonable again." incredible. What an underrated skit.

[@chim-choo-ree]

Apparently, I liked this a whole lot more than the audience that night.

[@someguybreaks]

Agree, what a bunch of party poopers. Dare I say, they're all a bunch of fartfaces.

[@boboloko]

I felt the same way … As the audience

[@MiamiChicken]

I nearly died laughing when Josh Brolin plugged his ears. Just the absurdity of the whole situation is hilarious

[@camtron]

Will forte's reaction at 4:07 after being told that the dude is crying is so good.

[@HealthyandLovingLife]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Jizbam]

OMG I missed it the first time. Thank you for pointing out that comedy gold.

[@Matein13]

I love the sketches that were clearly written by Forte, Hader and Mulaney at 2 in the morning.

That audience is the real fartface. This was gold!

[@xsteveconwayx]

The fact that Josh Brolin is willing to do a sketch like this and has the confidence to allow himself to be the butt of a joke proves how cool he really is. He’s the anti Steven Segal.

[@lukess.s]

Huh? He's an actor - he acted, in comedy

[@Pssybart]

The butt of a joke? I guess that's how his face ended up smelling like farts.

[@crashburn3292]

I just saw Hader talking about this sketch. He said it bombed at the table read and bombed even worse at dress rehearsal, but Lorne Michaels loved it so instead of yanking it he moved it up to right after Weekend Update. Hader said the audience was so confused and silent and you could hear everything, even people in the audience whispering, "Whaaaat?" and gasps of non-approval.

[@jamesprior2496]

Horrible decision!

[@HealthyandLovingLife]

The audience are a bunch of fartfaces...this was hilarious!

Well, that escalated quickly

[@andypinette9178]

I thank god lorne micheals made this hit the final cut i love it

That ending shouldn't have been as funny as it was, I laughed so hard.

[@Camgoat]

this deserves so much more laughs. this is literal comedy genius.

[@absurdrhino]

Instead of "like" or "dislike" on KZbin it should be changed to "Fart face" or "Smart face"

[@zackhanson4788]

For some reason, Brolin standing up for himself with "no, HE is a smart face!" made me laugh really really hard.

[@djcsavato100]

I guess this is how to defeat Thanos: call him Fart Face

[@willthompson2262]

3:01 "he is a smart face..." most quotable line in the episode

Remember how Bill said this sketch bombed so hard and now I can see what he meant.

[@TheMoggFREE]

Is it true that Will Forte never break character??

[@elingobernable1331]

yes

[@vvrsvallabh]

Some say that's his Forte!

[@phil-ys3cf]

So far I've never seen him break and also once someone broke while they were looking at each other and saying nothing and he didn't even smile. he's really good at not breaking

[@dazem8]

yea I've legit searched KZbin "will forte break" and it gave me a bunch of results of jimmy fallon breaking lol

Shortly after this event, Jim went out to exact his revenge by collecting all 6 infinity stones and snapping half the galaxy into being fart faces.

[@brettneuberger6466]

This is seriously funny. I just watched Will tell the story about this skit. Apparently, it bombed in rehearsal and again, live. He still thinks it’s funny. Me too.

[@adamschultz3384]

I think this only works because it’s absolutely self-contained. The audience not laughing and nobody cracking really makes it timeless to me

What! this was absolutely hilarious i liked it and the end was priceless

[@ReadyMindsetGo]

+DiligentDrew Me too! I burst out laughing at the end!

3:12 Best two seconds on KZbin, no context necessary.

[@randywoods67]

Will Forte commits so hard to every sketch, I can't remember ever seeing him break character, regardless of how utterly stupid it is. It's quite amazing. Hader is one of the all-time greats, too, but he busts up as much as Fallon used to. I think Forte made him step up his game here...

[@Phyoomz]

God, now I can't stop watching this skit. 😂😂

[@Flashback1981]

This sketch takes on a whole new life if you picture Brolin in his role as Thanos, sitting there talking to them. “The hardest choices require the strongest wills.” “Well, it looks to me like you’re an About-to-Cry Face!” *crying* “No he’s not!” “FART FAAAAACE!!!”

[@rajithmaligaspe]

Ouch that silence was painful.

[@idbuyanewbmx]

Easily one of the funniest sketches ever

[@jamesprior2496]

Seriously! You must not understand real humor. This is one of STUPIDEST things ever put on 'film.'

[@alexsavage7145]

I love how fartface and bill aren't looking at Josh but somewhere to his left. Adds to the surreal absurdity

[@thwiftlythwept7023]

I've seen many SNL skits and this competes at the pinnacle! Simple, awesome sketch that you could take on a tour.

[@scottpollack1007]

Will Forte is up there with the Greatest Members of All Time on SNL including Aykroyd, Belushi, Carvey, Farley, Fey, Hader, Hartman, McKinnon, Murray, Myers, Poehler, Radner, Sandler, Spade, Strong, Sudeikis, Thompson, and Wiig! I have never seen Forte in a skit where he didn’t do an Outstanding Job! HE WAS A SOLID PERFORMER!

[@Thegbear]

This sketch died a horrible death on air, yet it’s the one I’ve watched the most. I love it.

[@thekredyard7577]

The chemistry of Will forte and bill Hader is off the charts, they should have more sketches with the two of them. I think they must have came up with this sketch together.

[@christofferjenzen78]

Brolins "NO,NO,GOD!! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!" with the hair flopping around is just too much. The genius lies in him being perfectly okay giving someone shit and all it to took to break him was call him the exact same thing. Seen this about ten times, it's always gonna hold up.

[@TommyLikeTom]

The way Bill Hader described it was way better than the actual thing. They got the fartface line out way to quickly, no set-up at all

[@phil-ys3cf]

I agree!

[@matthewstephens6848]

I'm here after The Norm MacDonald appearance and it sounded much funnier when he talked about it. The idea of ruining someone's life by calling them fart face is what sounded funny to me, but I imagined it being less ridiculous.
