Will's Little "Landlord"

Click to play!A two-minute comedy video of Will Ferrell fighting with his landlord would be funny. But when you make the landlord a 2-year-old girl with a temper and a drinking problem, you've got comedy gold.

The viral video is called "The Landlord," a simple production between Ferrell and longtime collaborator Adam McKay. It's McKay's 2-year-old daughter who plays Pearl, Ferrell's verbally abusive landlord with a penchant for beer.

The video appears on FunnyOrDie.com, a website the duo's production company created as a place for them (and other, lesser-known comedians) to show off their short videos.

McKay told the L.A. Times that he's not worried about his daughter picking up bad language: "She's in that phase right now where you can repeat anything to her and she won't remember it." Kids saying "bitch" is always funny.

Goes to show that there should be a law against idiots having children.

62. Of course pearl wont remember anything! I would bet lots of people commenting on this heard and repeated things like that at her age! Perhaps not you mary, but most of us did. And if you refuse to just accept this and move on, then wait untill she is old enough to comprehend this maturely, and ask her if she remembers it. Also, it doesnt mean pearl's parents are bad parents. This would have been stopped before it reached the internet if it could be considered child abuse. And if someone who works for child services doesnt think its child abuse, it is most definatley NOT child abuse

P.S. I mourn for you children mary, they will most likely be outcasts at school.

63. Wow....#1 is pretty dramatic. Overly I would say. Child abuse? I think not. This was so frickin funny. I cried from laughing so hard. I guarentee this 2 year old will not turn out to have a trucker mouth or a drinking problem. She's probably more well rounded than most kids!

64. I think its just nasty to hear kids curse...at any age. All the people that think its cute, its not. Someone posted that their kid says "bye bitch" to people. There are many people who get offended, even if it is a child. Find something better to teach your children...the alphabet for example, or manners or how about respect. And again...everyone one wonders....what has happened to our nation and the youth therein....hmmmm

68. I have personally seen children grow from being taught the language that the 2 yr old used into mean hateful young teenagers , the parents may say they don't remember but they do and until you have children and watched them grow along with many many more you see the effects from that young of an age. So for those of you whom do not have children can't make any kind of comment on what effects this has on a child that age.
Those two men really need to learn to exploit an adult and not a child and if it were any normal American and not a celebrity Social Services would have already taken that child away , I know I have seen it happen.
I clicked to watch because I thought it was about Will Smith or I would have not watched it but this was a disturbing video and obviously showing how big of a brain those two men have and may one day take it further than just teaching a 2 yr old to cuss.
This shows just how we are destroying American Society, we have lost all decency and all manners in America and this video shows where it starts and once it has started it's very hard to get those qualities back that America once had.

69. LAAAME - Will Ferrel looks like he's on the road to John Belushi-style-stardom! Keep binging Will, ya look and sound great! Just listen to your people: The Fro works. That tired, sleepy, meth-head look? Love it. Oh, and harrassing a baby? Brilliant! Call Alec Baldwin and you guys can make Old School 4.

70. OMG! People need to relax! I think it was funny....how many of our parents have at least one photo of us as kids with a beer bottle/can ?!?!?....because it was FUNNY...and I can't think of one toddler that did not curse when they were in that parrot stage...they repeat everything. I am sure this kid will NOT be scarred for life because of this.

Social Services needs to not waste their time on things like this and help those kids they SHOULD remove from homes because of LEGITAMITE abuse!

71. Moron. Loser. Jerk. Wuss. Panty-waist. Oxygen Thief. Knucklehead. Creep. Einstein. Fart-Face. Any of these would have put me into spasms! Sorry you sold-out!

Next time? No swearing, boys, and you'll have a classic! On par with Mel Brooks/Carl Reiner "God" or Abbott/Costello "Who's on First" or Cosby's "Noah."

Once again. I'm disappointed with the sell-out.
Modify and give more! This is a GREAT Bit!

72. This was funny because Pearl is obviously such a sweet little girl and it is such a juxtaposition and unexpected. I don't think it's cause for calling child services... If this is her only exposure and Mommy is coaching her she probably thinks its a fun game.

On the other hand, I didn't use ANY bad language around my child because I don't talk that way. I did get tired of her coming home frustrated about being made fun of for saying please and thank you too much ... at her friends houses. Now at college, she thinks everyone could use some manners lessons so I guess it just shows you we are all going to the "lowest common denominator", especially with people who can't express themselves without vulgar language.

73. This is stupid. What kind of parent would teach their kid to say stuff like that?
The father needs his kid taken away.

74. this probably falls under the new catagory of Politically Incorrect, but i thought it was so damn funny!
i didnt see the harm.........geez kids say worse than that ON PURPOSE!

75. COme on #1 and anyone behind her views! this clip is so funny! there are worse things to happen to a child than teaching her swear words. What is up with you Americans and Christians and swear words? Where is your sense of humor and expression? As a liberal Christian I have no problem with this clip. It's comic through and through. That little girl is not going to ruin her life because of this. She won't turn up homeless, as a tramp, or as a potty mouth and she gets older. In fact, she'll look back at this in 10-15 years and laugh. She'll share it with her kids and so on. Get that stick out of your ass and buy a jar of humor will you?
