“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
Antonio, do you shake your head back and forth when you say it?????
My go to is, "Just say yes and we'll move on...." Hands down, one of the funniest bits Ferrell ever did.
Mine is “a hot dog would equal roughly a nickel, depending on the strength of the yen.”
Someone recently asked me what my favorite planet is...
Can you please explain the joke to me?
When someone makes Jeff Goldblum look like a perfectly normal person, you know it's going to be good.
THIS. is what I was thinking the whole time!
Yes. I thought the same
He is not a normal person, no sir
After this, Jeff was determined to never be outweirded by another person ever again.
And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. -Jeremiah 29:13
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. -John 3:16
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.
-Acts 3:19
I’ve always loved how he grabs his arm in relief after the mad cow question. 😂
Same! Subtle and hilarious! Hahaha!!!
All these years later, having seen this skit at least a hundred times, and I still laugh uncontrollably each time.
Same! My cat was just looking at me with bewilderment at that weird noise I was making. 😂😂😂 And no, her name isn't "Whiskers" 😸
I know someone like Harry Carey. Not exciting to talk to IRL. It's only funny cause it's a spot on impression and the delivery. But like most of these characters, I do NOT like to live it. I'm related the the woman who thinks she knows something about current events, but just shows how stupid she sounds by being that annoying girl at a party that u try to chew ur leg off to run away.
@@JNMKloverseriously. I get headaches from laughing so much
This and jeopardy kill me every single time
Because it is outrageously hilarious!
Pretty sure Will was ad libbing here based on how Jeff was reacting...the look of bewilderment on Jeff's face is PRICELESS
Had to be. He cracked for 1st time ever and wasn't looking at cue cards anymore. The "I'm confused" showed he didn't know Will went full improv there lmao
The story goes that Ferrell kept changing the second question right up until filming to keep Goldblum on his toes lmao
The "it's not rocket science, just say yes and we'll move on. " was also 100% improvised after he realised Goldblum was at a loss for words 😂😂😂
Lorne hates ad-libbing.
I thought that at first too, but now I think it might be that Jeff Goldblum is just a fantastic actor. Maybe a bit of both.
@@davekeenan6511 Will ferrel could do whatever he wanted in SNL, by the end Lorne was begging him to stay.
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.
Kevin Sullwold Yep, Will ad libbed and Jeff turned pale!
acting my dear fellow
2:21 he looks directly into the camera like "wtf???"
It looked like he went off-script when he started talking about the eclipse. Goldblum starts to fidget and look around.
Yup Ferrell used the impression for ad libbing a lot. There’s an article about it screenertv.com/television/will-ferrell-harry-caray-jimmy-kimmel-live-chicago-cubs-win/
“I guess I’m just a worrier, that’s why my friends call me whiskers” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
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
"apparently albert einstein died 42 years ago. you know what,we'll try to get him anyway" 😂😂 gets me everytime
We had that one too! My mom also had Chris kattan, Christopher walken, Chris Farley and mike meyers. I have quoted them my whole life lmao
I had that tooooo!!!
My parents had that too! As well as Dana Carvey, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Mike Meyers, ect.!
My English/Social teacher in HS had it, too, and this skit still makes me laugh. 🤣
This is one of my favorite skits. "It's a simple question, doctor"😂😂
.
Wudja eat da moon if it was made of spare ribs
The absolute best part😂❤
I like when he makes Jeff Goldblum jump after yelling, “HEY!”
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.
I bonded with some of my cousins because according to them, I did a perfect Ferrell-as-Caray impersonation, and they couldn't get enough of it. Same with some of my classmates in high school: I'd do Ferrell-as-Caray and they'd be doubled over laughing.
Why?
you too?! I remember doing the "HEY!", then a random question almost ad nauseam in like 5th grade and literally no one would get it omfg
Thats why I wanted to watch this. "Hey!" I do it too lol
LOL! i love it
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.
As much as I love this. The idiosyncrasies of Pat Hughes and Ron Santo are hilarious
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.
I agree. It's one of his beat.
"Heck, I'd have seconds" and then polish it off with a tall cool Budweiser... lollololllol
ceee deee that woo from the audience really seals it for me.
Harry caray was the announcer for the St. Louis cardinals for 25 years and prominently advertised Budweiser during the games. (They were owned by the Busch family)
😂😂😂
Yess
“ I would do it”
Goldblums demeanor really really plays well in this skit
True and a very self-contained demeanor at that! I was surprised to see him capable of it actually and wondered what others thought
This clip is eternal. It never fails to make me laugh.
the concept of Harry hosting a science show is pure genius
it's not rocket science, just say yes and we'll move on
Connor Hutcheon how to propose to the woman you love
I'm just trying to figure out why that is such a hard question to answer. Obviously one should eat the Moon if it were made of ribs.
Van PastorMan I would not eat it dew to the space environment there a lot of radiation.
@@larrybarnhill6661 🤣🤣🤣 simple as that
😂
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
I was trying to think of all the reason this skit is so great. Timing is definitely one.
Awkward pause......HEY!!!
Yep!
*H E Y*
oh hey ur here
I’m so glad wilburgur loves snl
What's up, checkmark?
Will Farrell will forever be a GREAT. His timing is insane. He can literally sit there and twitch for 8 seconds and is HILARIOUS 😂
Goldblum really held his s**t together, just like he always does, and thank you for your genius, Mr. Ferrell. Priceless piece of comedy here...
I would cry laughing
Held it together? Really though?
it's a shame that Harry Caray and Alex Trebek were potrayed by the same actor. Harry would of been a great celeb jep player
Omg yes
Alex, I'll take mad cow disease for 400
TRUE!!!!😲😂
What are "whiskers" Alex?
I agree
"I hope i never get [mad cow disease]!" - actively showing all symptoms
Lol
I'm glad Im not the only one who noticed
me too
the shaking is a symptom of parkinson's. not really something to use as a laugh in a skit.
@@SarcastSempervirens Harry Caray didn’t have Parkinson’s so that’s irrelevant
My dad recorded this on VHS when I was a kid so we could watch it all the time. We used that tape for years to watch this skit, like revisiting an old TH-cam video. It cracked me up then and it still gets me now!
Looked at the moon, ate a lot of ribs, Yes?
I remember the first time I saw this skit. The mad cow question was one of the 3 times in my life that I actually laughed uncontrollable. I laughed for several minutes straight. I guess it was just my frame of mind right at that moment. My girlfriend thought I was nuts.
To understand the comic genius in Will Ferrell is to just let go and feel the funny!!!
Haha. Awesome
Same here I was watching it at my now wife's dorm common area with some of her fellow students and I was beside myself. This skit is burned in my memory lmaooo
She still with you?
Same that bit was hilarious
How he is keeping a straight face is beyond me.... Best skit ever!!!!
He struggles a bit at times. Hard not to...
I couldn’t, no way!!!
My favorite planet is the sun lol
You can tell the first couple questions Jeff is looking at the cue cards, and then when he asks about the moon being made of spare ribs, Jeff is like "what? how do I answer that??". I think Will went off script, LOL!
Yeah, but would you eat the moon is it was made of ribs?
@@NormAppleton yes
@@ericthomas917 Great! Then we can move on.
Jeff's face during this is hysterical! He's so confused and trying to hold in his laughs at the same time.
He's confused as far as, do I improve or play it straight? The obviously told him to play it straight.
This is easily one of the best bits Will Ferrell did on SNL.
I honestly wonder is Jeff Goldblum knew exactly what this was going to be like? He seems genuinely confused during most of it. Or maybe he's just a better actor than I'm giving him credit for.
I suspect that they did to him what Mulaney used to do to Bill Hader. Rehearsed it the "right" way, then changed everything and made him vamp for the bit.
Matt Ruller that “What?” at 2:30 sounds genuine. I think Will probably ambushed him with that bit. Great stuff.
It's hard to tell with Goldblum especially because he *always* sounds hesitant and like the words are just coming to him on a slight delay, even when he's obivously memorized a script.
Will can make anyone break character
Yeah and eventually Will picks up on Jeff freaking out and casts him a lifeline of "just say yes and we'll move on"
It's a simple question, Doctor.
Anne Rakowiecki a baby could answer it!
@@jma012507 If it's so simple you answer it!
.
.
I seriously can't stop watching this.
I can't stop watching this. Not only the best SNL skit ever, one of the best comedy sketches of all shows and all movies ever. Rock on Mad Cow Disease!
I'd probably give Schweaty Balls or Cowbell the funniest skit ever title.
Jeff Goldbloom gave a great straightman.
He was the best choice to be with Will on this skit.
I was just thinking that. When a sketch requires a creature as unique and bizarre as Jeff Goldblum to be the straight guy it’s gonna be a wild ride.
I was just thinking this is the most normal I've ever seen him
this why Will Ferrel is the best of the business, he can act out anything for a very long time and not give it away for a moment.
+Tanel Murd So true. I love SNL for the most part and I didn't use to like Will Ferrell (granted I was watching dubbed versions so that had a part in it) but after watching this he became one of my favorite comedy actors and this is my favorite SNL sketch. I hope he get's invited to come back more often.
Tanel Murd that's Sachs baron Cohen my friend, who can do that.
RagnarTheRed why didn't you like Will Ferrell back then? Very curious
WF is annoying, whatever the character portrayed.
And he worked with Jimmy Fallon, a guy who couldn't keep a straight face at his own funeral.
Never thought anyone could out weird Jeff Goldblum. An awesome classic.
i’ve never watched a second of baseball and had never even heard of harry caray when i first saw this and it’s still one of the funniest skits i’ve ever seen
I played when ize a kid, but had never heard of him either until this skit. Gotta be an all time favorite of mine, along with spartan cheerleaders! Stay safe man.
As a person who studied Theater, it's so interesting watching Goldblum fight his personality habits- like touching his face, gesturing with his hands, and even how he folds his arms over his chest. He's doing everything to keep character while trying to remain active in the scene. That's a hard thing to do no matter who you are. He kinda loosens up a little by the end, and starts giving Ferrell more to interact with. But good fun all around. This is one of my favorite SNL moments, and I always crack up with laughter.
Props and kudos to him for being the professional. I would have broken many times throughout this sketch, and Goldblum does his job here. :)
Goldblum broke how many times here? I would never bring up this sketch if I were him...just shows he can't improvise
He's wearing a babyshit brown knit sweater vest. His name is Kent Waller. Mr. Goldblum wants to dive into the comedy here but he can't, he's the straight man. It was probably the hardest thing he has ever done.
"It's a simple question Dr.... would you eat the moon if it were made out of ribs?"
Just say yes and let's move on
Where is the Tom Hanks, 'what if the moon was made of green cheese, would you take a bite? Can't find it!
Heck I’d have seconds & wash it down with a tall ice cold Budweiser
"You know what we'll try and get him anyway" 😂😂😂😂😂
By Will not answering Jeff's final question or statement, that's where the brilliance really comes out. Because no matter what answer he gave to Jeff, the comedic payoff would not have worked as well. Plus, by the ambiguous silence he leaves Jeff Goldblum in the end, fits with the rest of Harry Carey's craziness and eccentric mannerisms/personality. This sketch really showcases Will Ferrell's strongest talent in the character driven performances he does, that's where his gift really shines. I love how he outwits Jeff and causes him to break down laughing and snap out of character
"I once took a pair of binoculars and stared at the sun for over an hour" 🤣 can you picture someone doing that!?
President Trump.
"President Trump." Obviously! LOL!
You have to know Harry to get max laughter out of it lol
Harry stares at the sun because he's curious like a cat. Trump does it because he's a moron.
which is why he has to wear those inch thick glasses
"I guess I'm just a worrier!" lol
That's why my friends call me Whiskers.
I thought they called you whiskers cause you're curious like a cat?
@@suprcrzy.........*consistently bobbing head*.......
"HEY......!" 😁
That's why my friend call me whiskers... I thought your friend called you whiskers because you were as curious as a cat??.... H E Y!
This sketch is absolute perfection. It killed me when I saw it live and still makes me laugh until I cry in 2019.
Will Farrell is still one of the best SNL performers, ever.
I used to watch SNL every weekend, back from the Ackroyd/ Chase/ Murray days and all the others in between. This skit ranks in the top 5 I’ve ever seen. Ferrell is great, and ad libbing or not, Jeff Goldblum is so on point. Just good, clean humor.
"Mines the sun." I can't stop watching this🤣😂😂
"I have a couple of friends that call me Whiskers."
Because you worry or curious like a cat?
@@Hotlog69 YEAHSS!
Happy Harry Caray day! Don’t stare at the eclipse directly or you’ll burn your eyes out 🤨
I really wish Will could bring this character back. It's so hilarious
the best will ferrell character ever.
and don't forget Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights.
Robert Goulet is another classic!
This never gets old!!!
I remember seeing this one live and as a teen I almost pissed myself laughing.
Just say yes and we'll move on lol
2:13 Goldblum is waiting for a queue from Ferrell, but what he gets is clearly not what he was expecting, and everything that follows just leaves him more and more perplexed.
What's your favorite planet? Mines the sun!
One of the best Ferrell skits in existence.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Jeff Goldblum want even given a script for this sketch. I think he was just told to get in there and improvise to Will's questions because he looks genuinely dumbfounded & speechless by some of Will's questions. I love it!
I know it's hard to narrow down a greatest sketch of all time. But this has to be in the running.
Would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs? Lmao
Joseph Cini Yeah
Well that's not rocket science... Yes!
Yea.....I'd have seconds
Would you rather be the top scientist in your field or have Mad Cow Disease?
WheelzOfFortune oh good. I thought you'd pick mad cow😂😂
I guess I'm just a worrier
That's why my friends call me whiskers
Is there really any difference?
* confusion *
@4:25 ... that subtle moving of jeffs hand onto wills leg hahaha I doubt that was scripted. It's so hilariously awkward
Then polish it off with a tall cool budweiser! Lol classic
im crying. lmao... the genius of Will Ferrell right here. nothing complicated about this skethc, just Ferrell being amazing.
This was every conversation between Harry and Steve Stone. I swear Goldblum is doing a Steve Stone impression here.
That's why they called Steve, "Whiskers". ;)
Im with Fidel Cashflow, the shaking/tremors make me laugh everytime, especially at 3:08 when he makes that short look at Jeff. He was a lifesize bobble-head figure. lol
I don’t know how Jeff kept a straight face 🤣🤣 This shit puts me in tears
“What’s your favorite planet? Mines the Sun!”
3:07 when he leans in and looks at him then, “Haay!!”
"I'M A WORRIER THAT'S WHY MY FRIENDS CALL ME WHISKER'S" LMAO
1) I had almost forgotten this sketch, still one of the best ever
2) Harry would be thrilled to know that the Cubs did indeed win
This is one of the greatest skits ever performed in the history of Entertainment.
Harry is smiling now somewhere in Infinite space....Cubs Win!
Cubs win LOL I thought he was saying Colin Quinn.
This is epic, Will Ferrel at his best
This is the only character that makes me laugh my ass off just by looking at him. That shaking he does just kills me every time.
He even more stranger than Jeff goldblum ... How awesome is that.
When will says “HEY” the last time & Jeff actually jumps 😂😂😂😂
This is the best Harry Caray skit. 👍👍😂😂😂
indeed
This is the funniest Will Ferrell character!
Finnish 1980 needs more cowbell
I have a soft spot for the cheerleaders 😉
Will Ferrell, the king of improvisational non-sequiturs. It certainly kept his cast mates, including the guests, on their toes.
Goldblum breaking on this is one of my favorite SNL moments.
He didn’t “Break.” He is playing his “character” throughout. His “character” is on a Show in front of an audience hosted by Harry Caray, and the “character” thinks it’s ridiculous. He is in “character” the entire time.
Goldblum nailed this sketch.
best snl skit EVER
Rhett Haley to me this sketch is 2nd only to Chris Farley's " I live in a van down by the river !!! "
The pause between Caray stating he wanted to have moon ribs and beer, and that very definitive “I would do it” is what’s _really_ infinite.
“I guess I’m just a worrier”. This skit is one of the funniest things I have seen! Thank you for posting this!!
This has me rolling lmao!! "If the moon was made of ribs, would you eat it?!"
Only 332,000 hits?? Sad
This should have millions. It needs to be seen by every level headed sense of humor human.
I think NBC polices SNL content - this stuff is all hosted on the NBC site, probably has a zillion hits there.
This sketch/improv is so good, it brings me so much joy. Thank you Will (and Jeff for being a good sport)!
PURE MAGIC, cackling like a hyena 11:15pm woke up the whole damn house that night..
They did it Harry!!!
This is one of my favorite SNL skits. They worked off one another so well.
Gotta give it to Jeff for not busting up laughing
“Would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?” Lol
One of my favorite SNL skits ever!!!
"Join us next week with our guest, Albert Einstein."
"What? Well, apparently Albert Einstein died 42 years ago. You know what, we'll try and get him anyways!"
LOL!!! Fall out of my chair laughing. XD
i fucking died when i heard that..
Still one of the funniest sketches I have ever seen. Still makes me laugh out loud
Everything about this skit is so perfect! First, Will sounds nothing like Harry but yet his impression is absolutely hilarious. 2nd, his ability to obviously go off script to get Jeff to crack makes it that much funnier. and lastly, the timing that Will uses for the "Hey!" and the use of pauses are perfect. I simply cannot get enough of this skit. I can't count the hours spent watching this one skit over my lifetime.
Will Ferrell - the single greatest SNL cast member to have ever been on the show.
I hear ya but I would have to say Eddie Murphy
It’s August of 2021 and this skit still brings tears to my eyes when I watch it! Hilarious! 🤣
Same here...I'm still crying. Too much!! 🤣🤣🤣
This, Chippendale's, and Cowbell remain my all-time favorites.
Still my all time favorite SNL skit. Holds up after all these years.
Jeff Goldblum is one reason why this should have more views
How did Jeff keep his composure? I would have been laughing so hard. What a great sketch. I love it when SNL goes wacky, from Akroyds bass o matic stuff on thru the years.
Ferrell's Portrayal of HarryCaray is TheMost Hilarious SNL Sketches *EVER!*
“HEY! How about this COVID 19? It was here for a while then it went away, your thoughts??” -Harry Carrey 2021
2:00 curious like a cat.
