Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly Enter The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest | The New Yorker

[@zachkutkey303]

“I think I’m gonna take off” was brilliant

[@maximillianosaben]

@Mary Boyer-Shaw - I don't know, Ferrell's was pretty darn funny.

[@tehpappy]

His is perfect. Mine: "No, that's not a rocket in my pocket. The rocket is actually strapped to my back."

[@dielaughing73]

"Gotta jet!"

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

nah that was terrible

[@kristianmiller1561]

Agreed!!

[@leafbelly]

The elephant cartoon: "Are we gonna talk about the laptop in the room?"

[@michaelmontoya9372]

awesome

[@midknight1339]

"Back in my day, we were *afraid* of mice"

[@CapnSlipp]

Proof that Will Farrell and John C. Riley are over-rated. 👏👏👏👏

[@boylibrary3533]

leafbelly eh

[@louiseobrien7559]

“Looks like Jerry got the graveyard shift again”.

[@ddrwizard]

Yeah... Our retirement plan is not the best.

[@vocalsky7522]

I told him that if he had to nail the boss's wife, do it Tuesday not Thursday!

[@tashgambas4374]

You came up with a better caption than the celebrity comedians well done!!

[@ojsimpson9278]

“Everyone is dying to take his place.”

[@rynesanders9]

3:20 "This is where the magic happens."

[@why-even-try-brotendo]

Lol, I was going to say that.

[@SmellsLikeBrass]

Same here! I think they're messing with us. I can't imagine they didn't think of that. The other captions where great!

[@virtualsnake1994]

brilliant. it fits better than a glove...

"You kids have it so easy. In my day you had to touch a mouse."

[@aparicioj03]

This one is good

[@tonyfourpaws4511]

Genius!

[@zachkutkey303]

Ooh this is more clever, but john’s caption makes me laugh hard.

[@21centdregs]

i could see this being the intended caption

[@faunaflage]

"See? I told you it would fit!" was brilliant.

[@maximillianosaben]

"I think the dog is on drugs."

[@meeravalpo]

You have a hoarding problem Cheryl

[@zizzersoccer]

“Finally, that open concept we’ve been wanting”

[@lionelkentler]

Super powers really aren’t as useful as I thought they would be.

[@kinggwprich]

"This isn't what i had in mind when i asked if you wanted to hang out..."

[@bobbysanchez6308]

“I don’t mean to brag, but I was the most popular kid in my high school” is a pure strike of genius

[@OhanaFilms]

Promoting a movie is so complicated now thanks to KZbin. Ya gotta eat hot wings, ya gotta think of captions on the spot, etc.

[@neomcdoom]

Ohana Films Hehe

[@UnderTheBridge96]

I think we as a species kind of “ditch” things once they become popularly mocked, so I think everyone as a whole got bored of the same answers to the same questions, so they had to start making the interactions more interesting/competitive

[@hhnz]

2:20 "He's just a dog, he wouldn't understand the gravity of the situation."

[@hoborock007]

....good one

[@93Jubilee]

Brilliant!

[@QuantumBraced]

"I think I'm gonna take off" was pretty good.

[@hadntfilms1991]

QuantumBraced too obvious tho

[@bobclinton4407]

“Good mourning Jerry” Was low key hoping for that

[@mrsmith9031]

Then for the magician one. She is saying, "When you said you would let me go halves on this date, I was thinking you meant something else"

[@mcook6005]

I love how sincere John C. Reilly's humor is.

[@corpclone14]

"This is probably the smartest audience we've done something for."

[@maxdavis2154]

2:33 “when the reality show said they were gonna flip our house, this is not what I thought they meant”

4:02 I'm just on Safari, dad..

[@rgarlinyc]

@Karthik Nair: Oooooh! Ten points!🤜

[@faunaflage]

OOOOOH! Good one. How 'bout: "In my day we didn't have to Google - we just remembered things!"

[@aidandarby9533]

Should we address the elephant in the room

[@thecabillonaire]

Still on that computer? I think it's time to address the elephant in the room.

How did that poor grammar caption that you made get 35 likes lol? I think we should "saw" other people? Smh.

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

Because it's funny! Geez, Lighten up. Live a little. Wordplay is fun. That particular line could have meant "saw" in the literal sense also!

last one: "I'm glad you got rid of your mouse, that thing scared the crap out of me!"

Too long

[@haasepete]

Don't bother deleting your history. I never forget

[@hannastocks2123]

omg that's genius

[@noisydonut]

Doesn’t make sense. You delete so they don’t see in the first place. If it was a gold fish you could say “Don’t bother deleting because I don’t remember anything”

[@clarewillison9379]

"I told you that we were in for a magical evening"

“I told you I was Magic Mike”

"...and this is the bedroom, where all the magic happens" would have been good for the magicians one lol

[@TellEveryoneRecords]

The old school Bill O’Reilly “I’ll write it; we’ll do it live” quote was the funniest part of the whole video. Unfortunately that’ll likely be lost on many, but it was well worth it.

[@borgue]

Chris, i say this because i love you and your mother: To get to references one drills past the bottom of the comedic barrel, into the floor, past the molten core and out onto pastoral XianQiang, China.
