I swear he is spot on! Thats EXACTLY how some kids cry and act...hilarious!

[Monsieur_Cauchemar-YT]

I'm a salesman. I'm going to use this technique exclusively from now on.

I haven't even finished watching it and I just wanted to say Will Farrell is an outstanding actor. The way he has transformed himself into a baby is flawless. Any parent watching this video would know.

I watched this a long time ago and chuckled a bit. Almost two decades later and having a toddler, this is some genius-level acting and writing right here. TBH it's not even an exaggeration

[matak_beans]

That little “no!” At 3:27 is so perfect 🤣🤣

[tokusatsunerd]

"You're not my boss anymore 'cause YOU EAT POO!"

Underrated line there.

[JR-hefn]

Is it me or does it make the show better that the cast doesn’t have their eyes staring at cue cards the whole time??

[justinmraap]

"C'mon, let's go get a lap dance" is probably the best closing line to end the sketch with. It landed perfectly lol

[mushaboomist]

I love how the juice box already had the straw in it lol As if he came prepared for this meltdown

[tomadams]

I think I just found a new approach In my marketing techniques .

[elizabethjones]

Will Ferrell. Every time you cry, I laughed so hard I fell off my dinosaur! LOL :)

[STLCODPS]

"Why didn't you prepare a presentation?"
"I didn't want to!"
"Okay, fine I'll do it"
"No I wanna give it!"
"Well then stand up and give the presentation!"
"I DONT LIKE YOU!"

perfectly captures the logic of a child throwing a tantrum

[AdaraAhab]

Will ferrel embodied how I feel every morning on my way to wrk...I dnt want to be here...cus I dont want

[manicmike]

Wow. An amazing sketch where no one breaks characters. Ferrell was a genius.

[Noruego]

"What a bunch of anuses" is now my all time favorite insult lol

[MichaelCWBell]

I imagine that Will came up with some of these ideas himself?
It's so cool cause it makes you realise how funny it is, even when kids do it.

[BooglePoots]

He has the whole children's way of "straining every muscle in your body as an attempt to squeeze out a few crocodile tears" down like a pro lol

[mrmike]

Ray Romano was one of the funniest guests on SNL ever. You see some of these guests sometimes and you realize it's a shame they didn't get to be feature players. He would've been fantastic

[jaylee]

This is actually pretty stellar acting all around, especially by Will

[LordDarthSmyth]

Dude.... Simply amazing.
How many adults wish we could just through a tantrum like this sometimes, hehe.
