Will Ferrell showed up to a AAA baseball game in Round Rock, Texas the other night in character as “Rojo” Johnson, a Texas-born, Venezuela-raised pitcher who recently did time for illegal lizard smuggling.
Ferrell was just promoting a charity golf tournament with a game-stopping skit in which he was called out to the mound only to be quickly ejected due to an altercation with the (real) umpire and a (fake) batter for the Nashville Sounds. [Cinematical]
You might point out that Ferrell’s beer-chugging, mustache-sporting, gold-chain wearing pitcher act is quite a bit like Kenny Powers, but I would counter that A. Will Ferrell is awesome. B. Kenny Powers is awesome. C. Drinking beer is awesome. D. I’m awesome. E. Watching Will Ferrell goof around is way more awesome than watching baseball. Also, when you’ve got a pitcher named “Rojo”, I feel like there’s a “Red Rocket” joke to be had. That would be awesome.
In related news, I hear your mom’s been pitching for the Crack Rock Express. Ha, just kidding. She catches. (*high fives frat bros*)



I would watch Will Ferrell dry paint. Or something like that. Alls I’m sayin is the mofo is funny.
I lost the fun of saying “Rojo” when the engines failed in the middle of that cooze cruise. You’d think a group as familiar with working the pole could handle an oar…
It was kind of like a condensed version of “Land of the Lost.”
Phase one: Mildly amusing gag that could have been genius if slightly more thought out.
Phase two: Run around for five minutes.
To me chasing Will Ferrel is kind of like a dog chasing its tail. Seems like a good idea at first, but when you catch it you have no idea what to do with it. Also if you eat it you have to shit out.
This could only be better if he got in a fight with Kenny Powers.
Season 2 now, please.

You know what Kenny fucking Powers thinks about this? I think Ferrel is a pussy. That man strips down to his underwear any chance he gets and he fagged out. Me, I would have grabbed that cute server at the hot dog stand by her pig tails, drug her out to the mound and railed her til she pissed blood. That’s called the Kenny closer. And that’s fucking comedy. Then I’d scream “You’re fucking out!” at my dick, run the bases and steal some fruity boy’s beer. That’s what Kenny Powers thinks.
I think Will’s attempt at humor here was a bit of a seventh inning stretch.
Waiting for evangelical blowback because Will was a drunk at a family event and he was a terrible influence on their children made of glass in 3…2…1…
Kenny Powers has his own personal stylist. Rojo Johnson shoplifts his shit from Fashion Bug.
Would have been funnier if the batter whipped out a taser. No need to chase him down.
