How to Write a New Yorker Cartoon Caption: Will Ferrell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Zach Woods, and Zoe Chao Edition

00:02

Hello, I’m Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and…

00:05

I’m Will Ferrell.

00:06

Zach Woods. Zoe Chao.

00:08

And today we’re gonna be captioning

00:10

some New Yorker cartoons,

00:11

’cause they could use a little help.

00:13

What do you say we begin?

00:14

Let’s begin, Will.

00:18

Oh Lord Jesus. Wow.

00:20

Okay. Okay, so it’s Bow Down Yoga.

00:23

That guy has a rug. Yeah.

00:24

[Julia] And the other girl has a yoga mat.

00:26

Yeah. I thought that was turf,

00:28

but you’re right, I think it’s a rug.

00:29

That is a rug. He looks mad.

00:32

Yeah. The caption is just

00:34

an expositional description, correct?

00:37

Because I feel capable of that, but very little else.

00:40

[Julia] What would you say it would be?

00:41

There’s a water thing in the down right corner,

00:44

and there’s a couple.

00:45

Right. Hardwood floors,

00:47

sprung floors, dance floors.

00:49

So I think we got it.

00:50

[laughing] Great.

00:52

So…

00:54

[laughing]

00:56

Yoga room.

00:57

Hardwood floors.

00:58

You know what it is is it’s truth in comedy.

01:00

Perfect opportunity to talk about that.

01:01

Isn’t that right? Yes.

01:03

Because I’m so sick of comedy that isn’t honest,

01:07

and what is the most honest caption

01:09

but just a cold, factual description.

01:12

Of what you’re looking at. Exactly.

01:14

[Julia] God, I couldn’t agree with that more.

01:16

So this caption is yoga room, hardwood floors,

01:19

water bottle, floor rug, people.

01:24

[drum roll]

01:27

You’re welcome, The New Yorker.

01:30

Oh, God.

01:32

What?

01:33

This is one of Dick Cheney’s cartoons.

01:34

[laughing]

01:35

[Julia] So I guess the idea is

01:37

drinking and driving is fun?

01:40

One of few pro-drinking and driving PS ads.

01:42

[Julia] Yeah, it’s a new lobby group.

01:44

Right. I think I got one, guys.

01:47

Oh, thank God. Really?

01:48

Great. Woo hoo hoo hoo.

01:53

Hold on, I don’t want you guys to look.

01:55

‘Cause you can’t pre-judge.

01:56

I’m excited. We’re gonna be surprised.

01:58

I got that Christmas Eve feeling.

01:59

[laughing]

02:01

You never got gifts on Christmas Eve, right?

02:02

No, I was savagely beaten every Christmas morning.

02:06

[Julia] What is this, this is a short story

02:08

or it’s a novel?

02:09

I’m not sure which. Well..

02:11

Okay. Here it comes.

02:15

[laughing]

02:16

I guess the carpool lane is a little different in Texas.

02:19

Oh, yeah. Boom.

02:21

Because, hillbillies but also oil tycoons.

02:24

Yep. Perfect.

02:25

[drum roll]

02:30

Oh. Oh.

02:33

[Zach] The old classic.

02:34

[Julia] Got it.

02:35

Do you really? Yep.

02:37

[Zoe] Oh my gosh, Julia.

02:41

[chuckling]

02:44

[Will] Your Highness.

02:47

[Zoe] Bam.

02:49

[drumroll]

02:54

Okay, so… It’s a, uh…

02:56

[Julia] A lady in a bathrobe and slippers.

02:57

Kitchen. Getting what looks like…

03:01

[Will] Some coffee or juice or something?

03:03

[Julia] Possibly maple syrup.

03:04

And then a Genghis Khan looking type person.

03:08

Mm-hmm. A Viking-ish person

03:10

has coffee and toast and is examining his sword.

03:14

Zach, what do we have?

03:17

12th century Viking bris.

03:20

Guys, The New Yorker’s sick, but they just only have

03:23

bris cartoons. Yeah.

03:24

I don’t know what your obsession is with circumcision,

03:25

but it has to stop.

03:27

[drum roll]

03:32

[Julia] Oh, back with Cheney.

03:34

[laughing]

03:35

Who knew he was such a laugh riot?

03:38

Oh. Couple in bed.

03:40

He’s in pajamas. His phone has ex–

03:43

It looks like he was on the phone and it exploded.

03:45

Uh-huh. She’s kinda like

03:47

this again kind of feeling.

03:49

She doesn’t seem particularly alarmed.

03:51

Mm-hmm. Ugh.

03:52

They’re both kinda pear-shaped.

03:54

They are pear-shaped.

03:56

And there’s bricks hidden behind the plaster.

03:59

Do you guys like classic comedy?

04:03

I require it. That’s good.

04:04

Yep. [laughing]

04:07

Okay.

04:09

Well, I called the hotline.

04:11

Are you happy? [laughing]

04:13

That’s the best one so far. That’s the best one so far.

04:15

I think so. Best one so far.

04:17

Standing O. [drum roll]

04:21

I think if you’d spent your life

04:22

trying to have a career in comedy,

04:25

and then someone was like you can sit across

04:28

from your comedic heroes

04:29

and have the depths of your unfunniness

04:32

revealed publicly, how do you think that would feel?

04:35

I know the answer, because I’m living it.

04:39

I had a great time. [laughing]

04:41

And I can’t wait to do this at home

04:43

with my friends and family,

04:45

and do it the way we did it,

04:46

in real time with no editing.

04:47

[laughing]
