During her star-studded Coachella performance this weekend, she brought out the comedy star to play an electrician. Now, the internet is having one heck of a time reacting to his cameo, and I can\u2019t stop laughing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Well, Ferrell\u2019s love for a wild and public bit seems to have taken him to Coachella. He dressed up as a curmudgeonly electrician and monologued about the need for a tech run-through after it seemed like the power went out between Carpenter&#8217;s songs \u201cBed Chem\u201d and \u201cJuno.\u201d It was hilarious, and, as per usual, the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/2481210\/snl-cast-the-15-biggest-stars-the-show-ever-produced\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:massive SNL star;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;massive SNL star&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><u>massive <\/u><u><em>SNL <\/em><\/u><u>star<\/u><\/a> fully committed to the joke. Take a look:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, if you are familiar with Will Ferrell\u2019s love for a random joke and\/or side quest, it makes perfect sense why he\u2019d say yes to a part like this. I mean, I know I remember when he showed up as a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/ferrell-shared-story-behind-viral-002207451.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:sad and smoking Buddy the Elf;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;sad and smoking Buddy the Elf&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u>sad and smoking Buddy the Elf <\/u><\/a>at a hockey game, and I also can\u2019t forget that time he showed up at his son\u2019s school to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/ferrell-djd-frat-party-sons-184735741.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:DJ at a frat party;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;DJ at a frat party&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u>DJ at a frat party<\/u><\/a>.

I know that\u2019s how I would have reacted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I wasn\u2019t there, though, and neither were lots of folks on the internet. However, fans of Carpenter\u2019s were floored in the most fun way by Ferrell\u2019s appearance, and they were posting things like these comments on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@bilielsish\/video\/7627369542259461383?q=will%20ferrell&amp;t=1775919570810\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:@bilieelisish\u2019s TikTok;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;@bilieelisish\u2019s TikTok&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><u>@bilieelisish\u2019s TikTok<\/u><\/a> of the cameo:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Will Ferrell side quests are the best -Veritywells<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Imagine the crowd being so confused on what&#8217;s heppening \ud83e\udd23 -Michelle<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Some one deserves a raise \ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffb -Kristy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Here are a few more wonderful reactions to the <em>Step Brothers <\/em>star\u2019s appearance from X:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>What do you mean Will Ferrell is her guest as a technician!!!!

Jackson, Sam Elliott and her <em>Girl Meets World <\/em>co-star Corey Fogelmanis. So, she really brought out the big guns, and a range of them, for her big headlining set.
