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]
