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.

46. OMG is this one cute or what? I saw it a few days back on a different forum. I love the end where she's walking away with beer in hand and says "Come on mommy" LOL! Too cute.

ITA...she's not even 2, she won't even remember this! When my daughter was about 2 she learned a few choice words from her wonderful uncle, and does not remember them now at the age of 4! More than likely little Pearl won't even remember what she said in a couple days. I can say that despite my own child's rantings, she's an angel now. I couldn't ask for a better kid.

And CPS?? Go ahead and call Mary. I'm sure they'll laugh their butts off at you for such a call. Calls like this are not treated as abuse...most times they are laughed off.

47. “WARNING!”
Just so everyone knows TMZ are pulling down ppls negative blogs about paris Hilton, now I don’t know WTF is going on here weather Hilton has them by the legal balls or they are just pathetic parasite huggers, anyway they have pulled off several of my comments and I’m getting pretty pissed off about it. I noticed that they aren’t doing this for Britney or Lindsay (surprise surprise!) and I call for everyone to post their most horrible hate blogs about parasite that they can muster, TMZ are protecting this worthless bitch and I for one am sick of it. GO GET ‘EM GUYS!

48. Funny BUT I do not like to watch or hear two year old children swearing. Come on Will you can do better.

49. While the skit could have been funny, it wasn't. It was just wrong to have a toddler curse, talk about getting drunk, and carrying a beer! That little girl was so cute, and had such great timing (or great editing) it just wasn't needed. She could have said plenty of other words in the place of the curse words and it would have been hilarious. Why do comedians think that all humor requires cursing? It doesn't take much to get a laugh that way. Even a grade school kid laughs when someone says a "bad word". These two guys are far too talented to have to have gone to the lowest level to get a laugh.

51. OMG..........THIS WAS HYSTERICAL !!!

It's pure genious as far as I'm concerned. That 18 month old baby won't remember any of this. She was most likely being " fed " the lines through a remote. She doesn't know the word " bitch " from " book " COME ON YOU PEOPLE ............lighten up ! !

I loved it when the baby said " I'm just buzzed " .........still just LMAO ( I'll be watching this again when I need to have a long hard laugh ) THANKS TMZ !!!

52. Listen up poeple : This is meant to sarcasticly funny. It's " OUT OF THE BOX " so to speak. You have to be a little bit " over the top " to find this funny. Just keep this in mind.

" Pearl " was just " having fun ". during this video. No different than a child playing a " skit " at home except your using different " props ".

This child is much too young to " relate " to what a beer is or what getting " drunk " is.

She doesn't know what a " swear " word is. That's what makes this so funny. He's going where most people don't want to go. But if you use your " common sense " You can see that this baby is clearly not being "abused " and to her it's just a " game " This is an video with adult humor required. It's not meant for cartoon network.

If you watch the video with that in mind....... You will enjoy it a lot more. My husband was repulsed at 1st.........but after being " educated " and understanding that " babies " don't know what these things mean............IT'S JUST HYSTERICAL. .

53. This could've been JUST as funny WITHOUT the little girl cursing. She was adorable but hearing those words come out of her mouth really bothered me. Kinda sad.

54. Children are entertaining and fun to play around with. It is sad that America has little respect for their innoscence. They look to their guardians for an understanding of right and wrong. Too bad this little girl has been sold over the internet in the name of humor.

55. Dear Anal Mary, you are number one! I'm so glad you aren't my Mommy, bitch ,
Love, Pearl

56. Mary, Get off it!

That was one of the most funniest things I've ever seen. I started my day bad until I saw it.. I'm glad I never had a landlord like her. I feel sorry for Will. She is scarey but Cute!

Mary lighten up and Laugh once in a while. The child is not being hurt! You take life way too seriously. She's not even going to remember what she said. Get real! All children have said words their parents didn't want to hear and yet they are not scarred for life. Give me a break.

57. Listen #1 I work for child services and this is NOT child abuse! I think it's really sad you'd blow something like this video so out of proportion. It's that mindset that keeps DCFS overloaded with nonsense cases while real abuse cases are not getting the attention they deserve! Good grief.... chill out... no one forced you to watch the video! Am I the only one tired of other people trying to censor my life?

59. I'd do her!

60. Get a life compassionate Mary. This was a cute little video, kids are parrots and really what is funnier than a two yr old saying "bitch". Certainly not child abuse.
