It was a sketch with the guy who plays 'Jack' on Will & Grace (his name escapes me right now, Jimmy Fallon, and Will Ferrell.
'Jack' and Jimmy's characters worked in a clothing store as customer (dis)service personnel. It was one of those really, really trendy stores.. lots of black, tight clothing, etc. They were folding clothes in the front of the store. They're fashion snobs, basically.
So anyway, Horation Sanz' character - a "normal" guy - enters the story and proceeds to ask the service workers for help picking-out clothes. Instead of helping, they insult his common clothing. Funny banter ensues.
Then Sanz' character leaves.. and we hear this beeping coming from off-stage. Kinda like a big truck backing-up. It's Ferrell's character, backing-onto the store from the storage room. He's on a motorized scooter, lol. He has this TERRIBLE bowl cut, with huge sunglasses, and some sort of purple/green/black dotted shirt/blouse thing. HILARIOUS.
Ferrell's character proceeds to converse with the two service workers - and then he gets a call on his cell phone. So he takes his phone out. It's about the size of a 3x2 Lego block. He very, very carefully goes to unfold it. Then, he grasps the tiny thing between his thumb and forefinger, and holds it up to his ear. And right before he says hello, the camera shot gets really tight-in on his head, and he's looking pretty much right into the camera at that point. And then he begins.. to smirk. The left side of his mouth curls-up, and his eyebrows raise ever-so-slightly. You could tell.
Will Ferrell lost it, right there before our eyes. He didn't lose it by much, but he lost it. And he seldom ever lost it. THAT was an event. And it didn't help that Jimmy and Jack were cracking-up laughing as soon as he came-out on that damn scooter. They could barely say their lines, they were so far gone. For the rest of the skit, they pretty much gag/laughed through the remainder of their lines.
I almost had an asthma attack laughing at that. Priceless.
