    Hard to believe this piece of music history is already 9+ years old
  • @Xue_Ying
    This clip never gets old for me Also it’s so funny how Chad Smith looks like Will Ferrell and also kind of behaves like him 😂
  • @vampiiko350
    Will Ferrell: I’m the best drummer Will Ferrell: hold my beer
  • @tapanikangas
    The first 10 seconds is when you're actually trying to figure out who is Will and who is Chad....
  • @jinjxmusic
    Every couple years I find this video for the very end - when Anthony is singing to Captain with them singing in harmony - it gives me chills.
  • @laurie8857
    Will Ferrell creating such beats without even connecting with the drum kit is true professionalism. #inspired
  • @isaiahrios2407
    If they ever make a movie bout the Red Hot Chili Peppers guess who’s playing chad smith
  • @Ghosty-Facie
    I love how will is a magical drummer, he's so good the drums play different sounds than what the drums are supposed to play and cymbals play themselves :O
  • @joeygawl4346
    I wasnt expecting the band to show up at the end there that was AWESOME!!!
  • The fact that the chile peppers actually come out and play don’t fear the reaper while Will plays the cow bell makes this even more legendary
  • @davitorres1066
    They should do this again but with The Rock and Dwayne Johnson
  • I'm only now watching this and it is the best thing I have ever seen in my life.
  • @jadedone6900
    I don't how this one clip managed to sum up the best of my memories of SNL, Will Ferrell, the 90's and RHCP all in one... but it's pure Gen X magic.
  • @ClovisdeCruz
    There's a moral to this... your greatest rival is yourself.
  • @TVStudiohc
    The way he tries to hide Chad Smith with the trophy edge at the end too 🤣🤣💀🏆
  • @dancedj2k2
    Every time I am feeling down, I just come back to watch this wonderfully funny and entertaining video.
