The cut to brad saying “bad boy” like ten times is so good

[@mtpolifant]

As soon as Jeff said it, I was begging for a flashback

[@quintessences]

Two human golden retrievers decorate a cake is more entertaining than it should be

[@AudreyII-]

Hahahahah

THIS 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Brinnyanderson]

If I ever have a golden retriever, I'm naming him Brad.

[@GiGiSchnapps]

Eversince you put this thought in my head, I can't get rid of it D: I keep imagining the two of them, one older, slightly lower energy, easily distracted, holding a kong toy, and one younger more bouncy one, pouncing at things.

[@diablo-sosa]

No one could have phrased it better

[@jaydestone54]

How does Jeff get anything done? The guy is too bewildered, curious, and distracted by everything all the time. Loved this.

SO TRUE hahahahahahhah

This is so accurate I'm ded

Jeff literally stopped and said "you're a weird guy" and that's saying something

[@whatshername369]

I enjoyed both of them.

[@Woozlewuzzleable]

On paper this duo makes sense but in real life it's better than I could ever imagine. It's like 2 golden retrievers having a playdate. I'm exhausted and need a nap now, the Ghost joke was gold.

[@ravingrooster5206]

Well said.

[@shierocshieroc3735]

Not sure how this collaboration was made but I love it!

[@IggyCrib]

Jeff doesn’t know about offsets, Brad doesn’t know how to say Thelonious. Pretty cute

[@Brooque613]

This is gold….blum 😅

[@lesliedausey]

I almost coughed up a lung laughing when Jeff said there should be a moratorium on "bad boy" to Brad Leone of all people.

[@Thedudewhopoops]

Brad is on the short list of people Jeff Goldbloom has called “an interesting fellow”. Is there a bigger compliment?

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Jeff Goldblum is just like Ryan Reynolds in the sense that even when he's off set and not filming a movie, He's still in character. Jeff Goldblum is *JEFF GOLDBLUM* starring JEFF GOLDBLUM

[@bluetextonwhitebg]

if you think that's impressive, daniel day lewis was the spatula.
