Why is he dressed like a Quaker?

It’s delivery
Facts!!
60% of the time it's funny every time.
Fire the wardrobe guy.
Step brothers still top 5 movie
John C Riley is an amazing actor. He freaked me out with his singing in the film "Chicago" singing about being "cellophane"! Then he's Cal in Talladega Nights. But my personal opinion is he was his very best in Dewey Cox. He is amazing fo sho❤
If anybody can match wills funny they Def are rare and great human beings
He went to brother rice highschool a small Irish Catholic school w about 1,200 students. I went there as well. It was a tough blue collar neighborhood known for churning out tough guys over the years.
Do you think he would dress that way if he wasn’t an actor?
No. Will is not funny
I think John was the funnier of the two in the movie
I love both of them
So funny everytime
How about a Stepbrothers 2 please???
Will Ferrell just has a magic to him. I can feel it deep in my plumbs.
Step Brothers was easily amongst the best comedies of it's generation, but when I think of these two together the first thing that comes to mind is "Shake & Bake!"
Would of been funnier if he said he’ll always be my step brother
Is Gary funny tho?
We need another stupid Will and John C Reily movie. ASAP
My great grandfather was buried in the same outfit
For your health
Give up the hat dude you look ridiculous
Shake and bake!!
Hey step bro
i witnessed with my own eyes your nut sack on my drum set
I’ve never seen Dr Brule speak so coherently. The electroshock therapy must have worked.
I love John C. Riley and I love Will Ferrell and the two of them together are off the chain, loveably hilarious!
I watched wedding crashers for the first time the other week, just seeing Will Ferrell come onto screen made had me in hysterics
