His timing of breaking the award while the music’s still going on, his facial expression while he clumsily picks up the pieces and puts them on the table, are pure genius and proof, right there, that he fully deserved the Mark Twain award. He could have stopped at that moment...absolutely brilliant!
Your right definitely deserved...every...single piece of it, including the one that flew in that one guys eye in the front row that he probably took home and tried to sell on ebay after his tears dried up and he could see his computer screen
Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, Martin Short, Dave Chappelle and the late Norm MacDonald, masters of their craft, funny and intelligent, impossible not to laugh…
Once again, he thanks and highlights his wife and family. Respect him more and more every time I hear him speak. Being successful is laughing at yourself and acting foolish from time to time. Life is too short and to make light from time to time is needed. We need more of it right now in 2020-21.
For helping "me" make tonight possible... if any of you ever needs me to speak on your behalf, ever, I mean this sincerely, I'm probably not available.
Will telling his wife, the point is, "it's his night"! After the show, if he decides to pull an all night bender with Gwen Eiffel... He's gonna do it! Hilarious! Party animal & PBS host Gwen Eiffel on all night bender w/will Is vision I cannot shake.
I love when a speech is both heartfelt and entertaining. Weaving the two with confidence and creative wit is only for the top masters of the craft. Case in point...
I love reading about comedians who have been married since before their fame and have amazing marriages to this day. The idea that someone still finds you funny as the first time you made them laugh is so heart warming to me, I hope Will and Viveca continue their posterboy example of true happiness and that we all someday experience that true level of joy.
+chapinero017 Funnily enough, that was how people felt about Mark Twain. There are anecdotes about him going out to speak to crowds, and just staring at them silently until people started giggling, then laughing, then erupting into laughter.
God--I will never get tired of this speech. From the very beginning to the very end, it's just freaking perfect. Perfect balance of genuine gratitude and humor, perfect comedic balance of jokes with the perfect amount of wit, physicality and even a pratfall thrown in... it's just a downright masterclass in how to have a true mic drop moment in comedy!
It’s not right to use God’s Name in vain. He tells us that in the Bible. God bless and just letting you know. Exodus 20:7 “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold guiltless anyone who takes his name in vain.”
Actually 100000 sounds great for the first couple of decades but then inflation kicks in not to mention the aweful war with China and 2nd great depression of 2156 and then 100,000 is basically nothing so FUCK YOU Mark twain award.
As he pointed out, the Oscars don't appreciate comedy as the art form it is. What Andy Dick did in Danny Roane (4.5 on imdb) and what Rob Corddry did in Lower Learning (4.0 on imdb) is actually more difficult and in shorter supply than pretending you're really sad, but they don't care, they're no clowns.
Brazilian Atlantis as what was essentially a hilarious joke, Ferrell starred in a lifetime TV movie with Kristen Wigg, where they played it totally straight. Very dramatic. No one understood why it wasn’t funny, which was the joke.
You can tell this man is just the most kind and generous person you could ever have as a father or husband. His family is so lucky to have him! Must be the coolest dad ever!
I laughed when he said "...because of prize money" & my stomach ached when he continued to "1 billion dollars over 10,000 years!" Miss him, especially his presence at SNL.
@@amandajstar I thought it was hilarious. That said, it's difficult to explain why anything is funny really. There are some theories about why certain things are funny though and to whom. Off the top of my head Incongruity theory comes to mind.(theconversation.com/science-deconstructs-humor-what-makes-some-things-funny-64414) Basically it is funny because it subverts expectations.

Will Ferrel is my favorite actor of all time and I mean that sincerely. I think he is absolutely brilliant and I love all of his movies. This was great.
I agree, and some of my favorite comedy movies of all time are "ELF" ... "STEP BROTHERS" ... "TALADEGA NIGHTS" ... "SEMI-PRO" ... "BLADES OF GLORY" ... "GET HARD" ... "LAND OF THE LOST" !!!!!!
A real comic talent, genius ability to remain deadpan while everyone else cracks up. Whatever you may think of his films, his standup performances are priceless.
Will Ferrell is frickin' hilarious. First off, he BROKE the frickin statue! Then he delivers a hilarious speech. He ran marathons! TRUE! Will Ferrell cracks me up. I can only think of him running naked from Old School lol. His comment about PBS and a hundred viewers cracked me up LOLing big time! I could see Will scaling the Washington Monument. I just start laughing when I see Will Ferrell. I love that guy!
if you assume 5% interest, a billion dollars over 10,000 years (let's say yearly payments of 100,000) is worth as much as 2,000,000 dollars today. not bad, but nowhere near as much as "one billion" makes it sound like.
No, that’s 100,000 a year. A very respectable salary, more than enough to live happily on. So who on this planet needs to have over 10 billion dollars? It’s more money than any one man could ever spend.
He's hilarious & has a massive amount of fans. Even if you hadn't seen or heard of him before, just watching this clip would make you appreciate his down to earth, yet quirky nature/humour. He is a guru!
Thank you for whoever put this amazing talented human being on this earth I could hardly watch the whole speech without tears of absolutely rolling down my face. Without laughter and joy and individuals like will well if you watched it you know. Thank you for making me cry in the best possible way.😂
whats with all the jerks? if you don't think he's funny that's fine but calling him an idiot and saying the audience laugh to easy is uncalled for. he's just doing his job at making people laugh, and it is working. but if you don't like his jokes that doesn't give you the right to insult him.
Almost a decade later, this is still gold. Absolute comedic gold. My favorite part about this is that, Mark Twain, in his own absurdist sort of way, would think this was absolutely hilarious.
He’s a comedic character actor. The man rarely falters and is very calculating towards his approach. Watch all of his movie bloopers, he rarely is the first to break.
johnmmxii Well thank you for telling me. I was about to waste 10 minutes of my important life watching this. If YOU don't think it's funny, then I surely won't waste any of my time trying to form my own opinion, as it is inferior to your own, anyway.
Sky Lane Why so sarcasm? chronitized asked a legit question, or maybe I wanted to take it literaly while it was a rhetorical question, and put my humble opinion in there. Why should your opinion be inferior to mine? If you have something to say on why his wife would only give a superficial grin to this supposedly-funny-but-sad-to-watch act, feel free to express yourself. Who am I to tell you what's funny and what's not? Why do you think she's not really laughing at this act?
johnmmxii You're missing the point. You directly implied that your opinion is a fact by not saying something like 'in my opinion" first. You said, "Maybe because this act isn't funny at all." Which implies your bewilderment and condescension toward anyone who might find this is funny - all because YOU don't. That's why 'so sarcasm'.
If I find something hilarious, I might only smile. It's pretty rare that I am choking myself with laughter, maybe if I'd been awake for like 30 hours and my brain was losing it, then I'd be out of control laughing. Also it's hard to laugh when you know everyone's looking at you, she's just trying to be part of the act, in a kind of awkward way. I agree it was fucking hilarious speech. Bewildered as to why there are comments saying this was not funny.
I fucking lost it when he tried to piece the bust back together.... Also super funny when the band started playing too early....LMAO!! Just a great routine
Will Ferrell. The type of man whose ridiculousness takes me far away from the seriousness of life. Because of his art, I likely upset the neighbors, bellowing laughter. A true comedian. This award is well deserved.
One of the funniest dudes EVER! Love Will Ferrell! Who has to watch Old School EVERY time they are flipping channels and they see that it is on? hahaha 007
That exquisite sense of "awkwardness and uneasiness" most of us likely had as he starts to go after his wife then mixed with seamless delivery is his magic. This is brilliant and so very unique.
My favorite part of this was the bit centered around the trophy. The irony when his speech keeps centering on how he's going to look after the trophy is really funny. He also leans into the bit and takes his time awkwardly picking up the pieces of the award and glancing nervously at the busted bust as he speaks.
“All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure. ” Mark Twain.

@Josip why wouldn't you call a plumbers wife to fix your....pipes?
She did win a prize. My penis.
Almost a decade later, this is still gold. Absolute comedic gold.
My favorite part about this is that, Mark Twain, in his own absurdist sort of way, would think this was absolutely hilarious.
IMAGINE JIM CARREY AND WILL FERRELL TOGETHER IN ONE FILM
+VIDEO OF THE DAY that's the film they play in heaven when we pass the holly gates xD ahah
would be awkward, since both have different types of comedy
Except that Carrey is'nt funny
It would cost so much money. Both are 30+ million a film these days.
Of course he is.
Ridicolous.
Here after listening to Conan's podcast first episode with Will Ferrell 👍🏻
Very funny indeed 😂
Im psyched for this podcast, and happy for Matt Gourley making it as producer and actually sitting in on it.
Me too
Same!
I'm only expecting the best of that podcast
Same
He’s a comedic character actor. The man rarely falters and is very calculating towards his approach. Watch all of his movie bloopers, he rarely is the first to break.
One of the best acceptance speeches I have ever heard. Totally hilarious.
how was his wife not laughing her ass off hahaha
Maybe because this act isn't funny at all?
johnmmxii Well thank you for telling me. I was about to waste 10 minutes of my important life watching this. If YOU don't think it's funny, then I surely won't waste any of my time trying to form my own opinion, as it is inferior to your own, anyway.
Sky Lane Why so sarcasm? chronitized asked a legit question, or maybe I wanted to take it literaly while it was a rhetorical question, and put my humble opinion in there. Why should your opinion be inferior to mine? If you have something to say on why his wife would only give a superficial grin to this supposedly-funny-but-sad-to-watch act, feel free to express yourself. Who am I to tell you what's funny and what's not? Why do you think she's not really laughing at this act?
johnmmxii You're missing the point. You directly implied that your opinion is a fact by not saying something like 'in my opinion" first. You said, "Maybe because this act isn't funny at all." Which implies your bewilderment and condescension toward anyone who might find this is funny - all because YOU don't. That's why 'so sarcasm'.
If I find something hilarious, I might only smile. It's pretty rare that I am choking myself with laughter, maybe if I'd been awake for like 30 hours and my brain was losing it, then I'd be out of control laughing.
Also it's hard to laugh when you know everyone's looking at you, she's just trying to be part of the act, in a kind of awkward way.
I agree it was fucking hilarious speech. Bewildered as to why there are comments saying this was not funny.
i love how is wife is worried about the award dropping at first but then realized who shes married too and understand hes being funny
Does anything ever surprise her anymore?
DO YOU HEAR ME!? I just died :")))
+Jari Green Watch Jimmy Fallon w/him on it "Tight Pants" (You sick son of a bitch" haahhaahha)
"Donna, what can I say?" 😂😂😂
His wife was selling it too lol he is either really smart tho to flip his whole speech
"His real name was not Mark Twain, it was Jerry GOLDMAN" 😂
His wife what a sport!!!
Jason Heilman that would not pass today... 🖕
Is that a new gender that people are identifying as now??
Will is so crazy. That Sax player was great, but we needed more Cowbell.
"Since I was a small boy, I have thoroughly enjoyed his delicious fried chicken."
Yes too funny
Recovering from knee surgery and this guys stuff on the net is keeping me sane..
Casey Walker Will Ferrell is there for all of us.
Casey Walker Heal soon!
Casey Walker exactly what i did when i blew out my knee last year lmao get well
Doing the same exact thing rn lol
I fucking lost it when he tried to piece the bust back together....
Also super funny when the band started playing too early....LMAO!!
Just a great routine
The stuff about his (pretend) first two wives, and then directly to Viveca were hysterical!
Will Ferrell. The type of man whose ridiculousness takes me far away from the seriousness of life. Because of his art, I likely upset the neighbors, bellowing laughter. A true comedian. This award is well deserved.
"You've got a big mouth, and you like to run it." LMFAO!!!
He literally proved why he won that award!
And hundreds of viewers on PBS would agree with you
One of the funniest dudes EVER!
Love Will Ferrell!
Who has to watch Old School EVERY time they are flipping channels and they see that it is on? hahaha
007
That was the best. Thankyou "Will Ferrell".
I've seen this like 1000 times and its still amazing
Will Ferrell simply has a god given gift to be naturally and genuinely hilarious.
"The insurance game didn't work out for me so i fell back on comedy". that one got me good lol.
This man is a living legend
That exquisite sense of "awkwardness and uneasiness" most of us likely had as he starts to go after his wife then mixed with seamless delivery is his magic. This is brilliant and so very unique.
You can see what movies Will Ferrell makes and acts because the rants are his speciality he's a legend
Big nope on this guy
"DO YOU HEAR ME!? LOOK AT ME WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU!!" Lost it 🤣
My favorite part of this was the bit centered around the trophy. The irony when his speech keeps centering on how he's going to look after the trophy is really funny. He also leans into the bit and takes his time awkwardly picking up the pieces of the award and glancing nervously at the busted bust as he speaks.
love this guys sick sense of humor, he get funnier with time'
Three years later, this is still funny as hell!
