Will Ferrell has posted what is being touted as the "farewell performance" of the little 2 year old toddler Pearl. In this 2nd installment, Pearl plays a tough police sargent sent to the interrogation room to force a murder confession out of Will.
Pearl made her first comic debut
here playing the foul mouthed landlord of Will Ferrell. Seen on screen swearing and carrying around beer bottles, there was a lot of public outcry and blogging following it's release 3 months ago. The video received nationwide coverage. Ferrell made the video with long time business partner Adam McKay, and it is McKay’s daughter Pearl who plays the 2 year old with an attitude.
In what appears to me to be an attempt to clean up Pearl's act and her parents reputation, this video, posted 3 days ago, is seriously toned down from that of it's predecessor.
Pearl appears absolutely precious, and uses no swear words whatsoever. The worst utterances from her rosy baby lips are "I'm going to bite your nose off" and "I'm going to knock your teeth out".
The premise of the video entitled "Good Cop, Bad Cop" is moronic, and I find myself wondering what on earth has possessed Will to participate in such a lowbrow production. Will wears a shirt that says "Tastes like Chicken, Smells like Fish" and is disheveled and unshaven. He looks like someone in serious need of a bath. Is the overgrowth of head and facial hair merely for effect, or is Will suffering from some sort of dementia?
I personally failed to see any humor whatsoever in this 2nd, and supposed final, video starring cute little Pearl.
Here's hoping they keep their word, and Pearl can go back to playing in the sandbox and learning to count to 10 like a normal, well adjusted 2 year old.
