    “I’m just a worrier, that’s why my friends call me whiskers” I’ve been quoting this for years. It’s my favorite nonsense
  • @sclarsen86
    When someone makes Jeff Goldblum look like a perfectly normal person, you know it's going to be good.
  • @skte2die
    I’ve always loved how he grabs his arm in relief after the mad cow question. 😂
  • All these years later, having seen this skit at least a hundred times, and I still laugh uncontrollably each time.
  • @kristinwolf1165
    This is one of my favorite skits. "It's a simple question, doctor"😂😂
  • @AllhailtheUS
    Pretty sure Will was ad libbing here based on how Jeff was reacting...the look of bewilderment on Jeff's face is PRICELESS
  • @_kim123
    This is one of Will's beat sketches ever. Me and my sisters still quote this to this day. "Would ya eat it" "Just answer the question and we'll move on" and of course the loud random "Hey!" while shaking your head.
  • @tori5976
    My parents had a best of Will Ferrell on SNL dvd and this skit is one of our favorites, we quote it all the time. “my favorite planets the sun! I could stare at it for hours” 😂😂 classic
  • @DanCummins
    this is just one of the all-time best. to this day my friends and i will randomly interrupt conversations with "HEY!" and thensome stupid unrelated question.
  • 2:29 Goldblum looks genuinely surprised that Ferrell asked whether or not he would eat the moon if it were made of barbecue spare ribs. Hilarious I love it.
  • @gastonbuffet
    i believe that "timing" is essential when you deliver a line, and i don't think you can get better timing that what Ferrell did here. PERFECT
  • @cjburgess5682
    Goldblums demeanor really really plays well in this skit
  • @DatAnnexGuy
    This clip is eternal. It never fails to make me laugh.
  • @a.white.nj85
    “I guess I’m just a worrier, that’s why my friends call me whiskers” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
  • Will Farrell will forever be a GREAT. His timing is insane. He can literally sit there and twitch for 8 seconds and is HILARIOUS 😂
  • @chrisdavila135
    "Heck, I'd have seconds" and then polish it off with a tall cool Budweiser... lollololllol
  • @DavidEmerling79
    It's even funnier if you're aware of Harry Caray's idiosyncrasies. But Will Ferrell's portrayal is so funny, it stands on its own even if one didn't know who Harry Caray was at all.
