Hilarious! This is actually a real dance. Had to do this dance as a kid. I was looking for an example of the dance and I sure found it!!! LOVE Will! Thanks for posting!
i think the reason why a lot of people do not understand this and why it is so funny is this...gym teachers all around this country in the early '70s used to put this on the turntable and let a classroom full of grade schoolers excercise to this song what fun Will nailed the workout thanks for posting!!!!
so ridiculously simple, that it’s hilarious 😂. may only be funny to those, like me, that have vivid memories of doing this in elementary school in the 1970s .
@coolio1179 I was responding to your comment to me: "dude the first line was understandable but im rating it down cause it was too long of an insult ".
This is not what we did? Kind of it but maybe because I was in square dancing that also had rounds in between of real dancing steps we did it different?
@coolalecman its obviously just me then dont get me wrong i think will ferrell is funny i loved anchorman but this just isnt to my taste before anyone starts trolling
@coolio1179 "it was too long of an insult" Well, you are an odd one, then, if stating that I thought this was funny despite it being Will Ferrell. I guess it reflexts on you that you think a compliment is a bad thing. Maybe you are correct and this should be the last time I support Mr. Ferrell. Congratulations for being obtuse.
Some of the funniest skits from the 90s in SNL. Mediocre but lasting comedy movies. He's probably a better actor than you understand. But I agree, this is 100% unfunny, and the fact that people eat his shit is a testament of how overly powerful celebrities like him are.
I like English comedy. However, they talk so damn fast in their dialect I can hardly understand some of them. I don't hold it against them, and I still believe they are on stage for a reason. You people are jaded.
We would dance this in elementary school!! Well, what can I say...it was the 1970's. What memories!
Hilarious! This is actually a real dance. Had to do this dance as a kid. I was looking for an example of the dance and I sure found it!!! LOVE Will! Thanks for posting!
The best interpretive dance - and dancer - for this Moog pioneering classic from Gershon Kinsey!
We did this song in the 90's up here in Alaska. :) ahhh the memories of line-dancing month.
OMG!!!!!! We thought we were so awesome doing this!!!! LMFAO!!!!!!
So... it is 12am and I am here. Someone needs to get me help
This comment made me laugh so hard because it's the exact same for me..
kams335 me too lmao have any of you see the original version its even crazier then this one ha ha ha i cant stop laughing or watching this
This brings back memories. I remember seeing this on TV long ago. Classics never die, and funny stuff hands on.
Awww man I wish I would have been there looked like it was really fun.. Thanks for sharing the vids..
To answer your questions, it's hilarious because it's awkward and stupid. The reasons why I love Will Ferrell.
I just love this song... I had the album when I was a kid xxx
We did this in elementary school PE. Lol
OMG BEST DANCE EVER O.O
You're right, Comedy Legends are defined by the pre-written movie scripts they read from. Legend.
Legend :)

i wish i had that kind of courage
they ma- no let us dance to this in camp a few years back best camp ever
I so remember having to dance to this
And they say white people cant dance...
Victør Smit _ he was just moving his feet, legs, and hads
Angel Sekombo IT WAS A SARCASTIC JOKE 😨
He can do anything and it WILL be funny.
YES!!!!! that's really good.
how on earth did he keep a straght face! i wld have been pissin my self as soon as the song came on lmao
awesome dancer ...
Simply the court jester to the uptight monarchy
Only Will Ferrell can get away with doing this at a benefit show and still have people cheer like crazy.
i think the reason why a lot of people do not understand this and why it is so funny is this...gym teachers all around this country in the early '70s used to put this on the turntable and let a classroom full of grade schoolers excercise to this song what fun Will nailed the workout thanks for posting!!!!
I remember dancing to this song in K-8 gym class. This same exact way.
you are my hero
This is the best. We had to do this in gym in the 70's
the fun is on the context...
...but whenever you have to explain the source of fun, usually it defeats the purpose...
@technicx08 this is the original song ,i think, just search "hot butter popcorn" (without quotes) and you have it
omg i lost it at 1:00 ! =^.^= so funneh
why doesn't the video have a million views?!
It is in a way an homage I think to the great Andy Kaufman, making something simple funny through repetition. And it works :)
Was he doing the Alley Cat? lol
@fullbronze30 yep, it was a benefit hosted by Tenacious D
so ridiculously simple, that it’s hilarious 😂. may only be funny to those, like me, that have vivid memories of doing this in elementary school in the 1970s .
ha ha ha! this is soooo like doing japanese aerobics!!!
Seems like something Andy Kaufman would pull
He may have! He seems to have gotten some "moves" from the dance, hasn't he.
THis is why I'm glad my last name is Farrell. See how close it is :3
I'm doing this for my class
So awesome!! lol And hilarious!
Let's scream every time he turns! Yeah!
Mad
go my sister who taught me to dance....vicki lee
People, are you amused by how he saves his | _ | face through most of the dance?
That the dance you do when you eat 'Popeyes Chicken' and have a blockage.
My high school is making us dance to this -_-
What is a friend? How do you get a friend? How do you keep a friend? How come I dont have a friend?

Ferrell can be genuinely funny at times, but it often seems just being him doing whatever is enough top make many people laugh...

@w00tbeatlesrock cool story bro
