"Is Grandma going to die?" -"She is if you don't NAIL IT THIS TIME!"

[@trogdorthe8th]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the young professionalism of the boy in front starting at 03:02 ? He was literally about to crack and held it together WAY BETTER than I ever could.

[@meggriffin467]

He held it together way better than Fallon would have!

[@JG4EVER]

Better than Jimmy Fallon could

[@ambland82]

I go to court and speak big words lmao 😂

[@Krivbeknih29303]

I go to court and talk with big words

[@ambland82]

Knoa Bowman you are right 🙂

[@tomasmalin]

These disfunctional family skits are iconic. Just as funny as sad.

[@crisgriffin3042]

Based on real people...

[@morganzonder1243]

*Dysfunctional

[@jublywubly]

Yeah, as funny as it is, it's very true to life for those who had a narcissistic parent.

[@flagmichael]

Not funny to those who lived it. It is kind of sad that being run out of the house at shotgun point (I was 13; my brother was 11) on Christmas eve was not even close to the worst thing that happened. Should people who grew up with cruelty be mocked about it?

[@MadFlourish]

@@flagmichael who did you think made the skit dingus - comedians generally have trauma

[@m.s.a2.068]

I love the little boy trying not to laugh at the end 😂

[@mikem.3308]

Do not mess with your dad, HE DRIVES A DODGE STRATUS

[@michelleottley5292]

Big time Stuff! Lol 😂🤣

[@jhbraucht]

I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!!!!!!!! A STRATUS!!!!!!!!!

[@santinojozefmiller7721]

He also drives a Mitsubishi Galant!

[@Eli-ip5kq]

Will Ferrell is iconic

[@Nicklibera1959]

have you ever watched him talk about both of his sons? one loves his dad's comedy and his other son could careless and is academic.

[@AWayToShareOurVideos]

@@Nicklibera1959 And now I'm searching Will Ferrell's sons...I love KZbin comment leads. 🙂

[@actuary33]

Thats funny....hey u shut up! Lolol

[@gabrielapeter5412]

“I‘m a lawyer and you are going to hell” xD

[@actuary1233]

U shut up! Lolll...been looking all over for this

[@alberts1985]

His best skit or one of them. Every time my kids sing my mom happy birthday I can’t help but think about this. 😆

[@tonyrehal218]

You can’t duplicate Will Ferrell. He’s the master of sketch comedy.

[@brandontuggle3697]

* S I N G T H E D A M N S O N G* !! 😂

[@dantalks8278]

Will Ferrell is me every time I hear people change keys in the middle of happy birthday.

[@DavidLee-ll9vq]

"GET OFF THE DAMN SHED"

[@taverncat9570]

brad....jeff...be a dear and get off the shed.

[@soonerthanlater8206]

Pretty much this. In almost all of his sketches.

[@maulerXX]

Will Ferrell was such a legend, they wrote skits just for him alone. No other cast members. No celebrity guest. Just Will Ferrell and some kid actors.

[@mikethegrunty5968]

“Is grandma going to die?” “She is if you don’t nail it this time” Dead 😂

[@mr.simplistic6850]

I GO TO COURT AND SPEAK BIG WORDS, I AM LAUGHING SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HARD!

[@blanktom6049]

that was back when "happy birthday to you" wasn't in public domain. This skit must have cost them a fortune.

[@backwoodsjunkie08]

You have to pay for the rights now?!?!

[@billytrespassers3123]

Eggbert08 The reverse - it has been put into public domain. That’s why chain restaurants used to sing their own weird versions of it lol

[@soth1sol]

People can get a cheeseburger anywhere, okay? They come to Chotchkie's for the atmosphere and the attitude. Okay? That's what the flair's about. It's about fun.

[@armstrongjosh]

Thought you were joking until I looked it up just now.

[@blanktom6049]

@@armstrongjosh yup. wonder if thats why snl never put this on youtube before

[@richarddick1980]

Usual conversation with my mom,especially “don’t talk to me that way!” part

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

Shades of the DODGE STRATUS skit near the end of this one

[@skeingamepodcast5993]

I'm just over here trying to comprehend how a skit from my teenage years is vintage now...

[@robmc120]

This skit brought to you by Nintendo, it brings families together! lol

[@el_boricua0078]

just imagine

[@freespeechisdead1565]

This is what happens when a woman has a kid at 49.

[@danboyle116]

Sooo. She's 86 and he's 37 ... Mistake baby? That'd explain quite a bit.

[@honey_bee65]

Sound's like impossible baby to me

[@yuh3277]

Dan Boyle I have a kid in my grade who’s 15 and his dad is 76

[@mchevre]

@@yuh3277 That's kind of a different thing as there's no technical upper limit to a man having a kid. They keep producing sperm, just in smaller quantities with more chances of genetic anomalies as time goes on. Women, on the other hand, literally run out of eggs at some point.

[@yuh3277]

MrGoat I’m just saying it’s gross

[@eauneau]

There are no mistakes...just happy little accidents. 🌲

[@nostalgiajumper0233]

“YOU DON’T TALK TO ME THAT WAY! I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS! I’M A LAWYER! PEOPLE FEAR ME! YOU GO TO HELL!” 😂😂😂😂Ik the “dodge stratus and people fear me” part wasn’t there but if it was that would be funny lol

[@mushaboomist]

This brings back memories from when my dad math tutored me

[@steveconn]

"Adults in the 21st century scarred by Will Ferrell as child actors in the nineties" could be a whole sub-category of therapy.

[@froggo7215]

Lmao🤣🤣

[@navidb]

this prob inspired Step Brothers Adam Scott + family singing scene lol

[@1988pecco]

Kudos to those kids keeping their composure. I woulda burst out laughing

[@catalinacurio]

Now grandma can watch dad torture his poor kids to sing the darn song! 😂😂😂

[@benyoung4305]

"I suggest you people get this right if you don't want to spend the night in the car!" 🤣

[@Vinnafetish]

I'm about to watch Step Brothers🙂

[@jondunmore4268]

I'm sorry for you.

[@cahlendavidson2921]

"I'M A LAWYER! I GO TO WORK AND TALK WITH BIG WORDS!" 🤣

[@nostalgiajumper0233]

Kids: *sings happy birthday naturally* Dad: *that was terrible* 😂😂😂

[@FeliciaShilo]

Awww cute and funny!! My family always sing Happy birthday to me on my birthday too!!

[@felicitygq5855]

Love you SNL. You make me laugh so much.

[@soonerthanlater8206]

Will Farrel was certainly the king of yelling on SNL ...

[@collinmartin9925]

Don’t sit there and tell me 70s SNL was better than 90s SNL

[@soth1sol]

?! /clangs dropped utensils upon dishware/ someone actually sat there and told you that?! "70s SNL was better than 90s SNL" /clangs again!/

[@RayRay-zt7bj]

I'm sure every season had its good and bad episodes.

[@blanktom6049]

yeah, but isn't this the same character will ferrell does in like every skit?

[@collinmartin9925]

BlankTom you could say the same thing about John belushi

[@blanktom6049]

@@collinmartin9925 no i couldn't. i've barely seen any of SNL from the 70s

[@robertwheeler4068]

I thought Will was gonna tell Grandma to..."Get off the GD shed!!!"😂🤣

[@smokejc]

Those kids are amazing.

[@lukewillard2281]

The inspiration for his brother in step brothers

[@writereducator]

This is kinda how I get in the classroom sometimes.

[@asclepius5317]

When your dad actually communicates like that

[@Cartman4wesome]

At 2:40 I was expecting him to yell “You don’t talk to me that way. People are afraid of me. I drive….I drive a Dodge Stratus”

[@brokinarrow1]

I love will ferrell,

[@gocanuckurself1]

I love Will Ferrell so much 😭😭😭

[@billieglasscock7465]

Will Farrell the funniest man on the planet!!!

[@ChrisRubino1587]

*She will be if you don't nail it this time!*

[@AlanTuringWannabe]

That little blonde girl was nailing the emotional facial expressions.

[@sofianavarrete3268]

Funny 😄 ❤❤❤

[@mharris6085]

Happy Birthday Aiden!!

[@PrstgeWrldWde]

The kids were actually pretty good

[@jma331982]

“I suggest you guys shut up and sing like professional singers!” 😂😂😂

[@armandoucles5346]

I wonder if this the same dad who told his kids to "GET OFF THE SHED!!!"

[@amberklein8301]

or 'GET ON THE BASE!!!!'

[@ZA-qk2og]

😂

[@brophpiece]

Fun fact: 2 out of the 3 kids starring in this sketch would go on to costar in Mrs. Doubtfire as Robin Williams' children

[@KrimsonKracker]

NOBODY could make yelling and screaming funnier than Will Ferrell. NOBODY. Btw, the kids in this sketch deserve massive props for not breaking character... I keep imagining they must've replaced Jimmy Fallon with these kids when he couldn't control himself. 🤣🤣🤣

[@MrsFiddlePlayer]

It needs more cow bell. Bwahaha

[@RealTechnoPanda]

I am a LAWYER!

[@wroughtironmgtow9558]

reminds me of my middle school friends stepdad,he would take the most unimportant and mundane things too seriously and have a fit if things weren't going his way.as we got older my friend from school and i ran into each other and I asked him about his mom and he told me that he cut off all ties with his mom and stepdad permanently.

[@jeffreyelya9996]

What would've made this even better was if Will actually sang a demented version of the song, LOL

[@andreapatane4204]

Funniest birthday video ever!

[@Geeksmithing]

AND GET OFF THE DAMN SHED!!!! Man, those kids are a nightmare!

[@sofianavarrete3268]

A 💯 ❤❤❤

[@Gravydog316]

LOL reminds me of the time I was @ 7-11 , & some lady came in & started yelling that I was the devil because my hair was dyed blue, then everyone started throwing things at her, & she stormed out yelling that computers were a tool of the devil. LOL my Doritos & Slurpee wee pretty good tho, I remember.

[@lizzie4842]

“What the hell was that” lmao

[@JedlyMT]

Just did the math, his mom had him at age 49!😂

[@tyrellmccullen1572]

disturbed sound of silence

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

Mom is 86 Son is 37 So, she had him at 49 years old? Modern birthing miracle right there.

[@sandram6283]

Classic 😁

[@MaxxxWellz]

WTF 99' is vintage now???

[@soonerthanlater8206]

21 years ago ... Drinking age. Suppose 20 years is how they determine classic car status. Maybe vintages in sketch life are similar deal?

[@8806teneff]

Are these the kids that wouldn’t get off the shed? 😂

Boy Sounds like my childhood.

Grandma was workin over time! She would've been 49 when she gave Birth

[@kambermusic]

I mean I can’t blame him too much - those kids can’t settle on a key to save their lives lol jk

[@MMcCoy-yh4ho]

I love these skits, but why are the commercials on SNLs KZbin like 10x's longer & more often than any other channel?? I wanted to watch a bunchbof these but I cannot sit through all of these non skippable ads.

[@mansamusa8191]

MD Mc hmmmmm I never get ads on snl vids

[@asecretone]

You gotta pay for that premium KZbin

[@soth1sol]

you know why. c'mon. not a matter of paranoid cynicism if it's absolutely true. they're flicking the back of your ears like this bc they want your money. they want you to give in to your legitimate frustrations. and submit. don't, i say. fuck 'em. get an ad blocker. watch thousands more videos for free. hell, write the next great american novel, with the extra time you'll be saving. borders on psychological warfare for me. fucking hate ads.

[@aiberlane3390]

At least he didn't tell them to get off the shed!
