Will Ferrell is no stranger to joking around in the sports world. He’s shown up at USC practices and helped with Halloween pranks, and he once showed up at a minor league baseball game pretending to be a pitcher. This time he took on the familiar role of introductions announcer, a role he also held in Old School.

In New Orleans to film the movie Dog Fight with Zach Galifianakis, Ferrell did pregame introductions for the Hornets and Bulls. He certainly left most of the players confused, though some of the guys, such as Emeka Okafor, seemed to enjoy the show. Others were more of a buzzkill. The video was pretty entertaining.
