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.

31. MARY needs to grow up? The people thinking it's funny to make an innocent child say bad words need to grow up. That's one of the most immature things I've seen in a long time.

32. I've seen worse, where children blow up and hit their parents or whatever!!!! OMG! This is hilarious, it's just a typical Will Farell video! It's hilarious! So Compassionate Mary has to take a chill pill! The kid is getting paid for it!

34. This is pure genius. I found it very funny.

As for the people who didn't, I don't know what to say other than to lighten up. So what if some of us find it funny. Is it such a big deal, that you feel the need to comment on it?
If you didn't find any humor in it than that's fine. Don't watch it. But please let those of us, who did laugh and find it funny, do just that.

No need to get judgmental.

35. I thought i was great. I have a 2 and a 4 yr old and i wouldn't teach them those words just because you know they would say it at the wrong time and give me a stroke. It was super cute and anyone that calls that sweet baby ugly is a real a**hole. Be nice to kids.

36. Of course the child will remember this! Perhaps only subconciously, but that's enough! The parents involved do not deserve such a precious child.

39. Lighten up, people! We're all entitled to our opinions but don't you think calling the baby ugly and threatening with Child Welfare are just a little over the top? I can't stand Will Ferrell, but I have to admit -- this video had me laughing out loud until I cried. Geez, everyone needs laughter once in a while.

40. I have never found Will Ferrel funny, but I have never thought he would stoop so low to get a laugh. I can not believe the parents of this poor child have allowed such a thing to happen. Mary is right this is child abuse,the fact that so many people find it funny does not say much for their moral character. I have a very good scence of humour but this is not any thing to laugh at.

41. It's not against the law to swear or teach your child to swear. Personally, I find it more offensive when kids use poor grammer like "ain't" and "busted". Just like Compassionate Mary is raising her kids with some screwed up sense or Christian morality, Will's friend can raise his daughter as he pleases........

42. TMZ staff the fact that you say this is comedy gold only adds fuel to the fire. You have to bear some responsibility for what people see on this site.

43. HILARIOUS! Thanks for the giggles~

45. I'd really love to know what kind of human being would call that adorable baby girl UGLY???? That is sick to say the least!!! What kind of decent adult would call ANY CHILD ugly??

That baby is not even 2 years old. She is being fed lines and filmed seperately. She has no clue as to what is going on here......And...it IS Funny! As others have said, she will never even remember this. This will be a great video for the parents to embarass her with when she turns 16.

Compassionate Mary, save your wisdom for where it is really needed. Why don't you come out to where I work. I work with some of the Most Seriously Damaged children in America. Sexually Abused, Physically Abused and Neglected children. Children who have had horrible and humiliating things done to them. Children who have been nailed in to trash cans to die by their step father. Girls who have been repetedly raped by the time they are 5 years old. Children prostituted by their mother by the time they were this child's age. I could go on and on, but I'm sure YOU have the picture.

Then again you probably don't.

I DARE you to come to where I work, and take a good look at the children I work with! After that, you go ahead and call CPS about this video.

I'm not sure what planet you come from, but last I knew, here in America, cursing isn't any kind of crime.

This was very cute and brightened my day.

From Someone Who Is Around Abused Children Every Day Of The Year And Knows What Abuse Is.
