Will Ferrell Describing How He Pranked A College Professor Every Three Weeks In College Is Incredible


Will Ferrell graduated from the University of Southern California in 1990 with a degree in Sports Information, a degree less useful than Art History. The Delta Tau Delta was known for his shenanigans around campus, often stripping down nude and streaking around campus. Ferrell was evidently too busy making everyone laugh to have sex, as he didn’t lose his virginity until he was 21 and a junior in college.

Ferrell’s most hilarious and recurring prank involved him dressing up as a janitor and interrupting his friends’ classes with faux maintenance jobs. These intrusions were so funny that even the professor encouraged Will to interrupt his class for a comedic break.

Ferrell appeared on Conan last week and, in full lion facial paint, described his college antics. Check it out below:

Thank you to the USC literature professor who helped groom a comedy legend.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
