Will Ferrell Accepts Chad Smith’s Drum Battle Challenge on Reddit

A few days ago Will Ferrell claimed to actually be Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He posted this video to Instagram after his Reddit AMA.

Chad Smith responded with his own video telling Will to stop impersonating him. He then challenged Ferrell to a drum battle.

Then today, during Chad Smith’s Reddit AMA, Will Ferrell showed up and accepted the challenge.

Hi, Chad. Will Ferrell here. I saw your video and I graciously accept your invitation to a drum battle. If we can raise $300,000 for Cancer For College I will face off with you in the greatest drum vs. cowbell showdown the world has ever seen. We can do it on stage at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert or in front of a mutually convenient public library. Your call.

Also, would you rather fight a hundred duck sized ducks or one horse sized horse?

Now of course this was probably all a set up, but still, what a greay way to promote a charity event!

And in case you missed it, check out Jon Daly’s brilliant Red Hot Chili Peppers parody Abracadabralifornia.

This parody fooled a lot of people on Super Bowl Sunday. Yahoo Music wrote a whole article about it thinking it was real!

The RHCP2014.COM website is what really makes it for me. It seems legit in a ridiculous kind of way.

The idea originated on an episode of Comedy Bang Bang where Daly and Zach Galifianakis were members of The Pepperman, a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan club.
