# Will Ferrel Invades CNBC Power Lunch By Jason Legge | Published 2008-01-29 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/will-ferrel-invades-cnbc References: [glumbert](http://www.glumbert.com/media/powerlunch) As was remarked by my office compadres - Will Ferrell can pretty much do anything, anywhere, and then video tape it and post it on the internet, and it will be funny. It is a tried and tested formula that has yet to fail Ferrel, or his funnyordie.com alumni. In this outing, Ferrel invades CNBC's "Power Lunch." Check out how utterly pissed off Bill Griffeth looks. I don't know what he was so sore about, Ferrell pretty much guaranteed that somebody, somewhere, might actually watch a minute of CNBC. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Celebrity Pranks on TV Shows:** Exploring the trend of celebrities making surprise appearances on TV shows to create comedic moments. - **Online Video Platforms:** The increasing popularity of online platforms like funnyordie.com as a medium for sharing funny videos. - **Impact of Viral Videos:** Analyzing how viral videos, like Will Ferrell's appearances, can generate attention for a brand or show. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Television Broadcasting:** Identifying the television broadcasting industry as a potential platform for celebrity pranks and viral video promotions. - **Online Entertainment:** Exploring the opportunities for growth and innovation in the online entertainment industry fueled by popular video sharing platforms. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Understanding the potential of viral videos as an effective advertising and marketing tool to raise brand awareness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Short Talk Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/progressives-dr-rick.md) - [Humorous Payment Platform Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paypal-checkout.md) - [Nostalgic Long-Form Infomercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-mobile-mintfomercial.md) - [Comedic Christmas Parodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad.md) - [Humorous Menswear Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-wearhouse.md) - [Streamlined Software Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rule-your-business.md) - [Comedic Groundhog Day Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-for-days.md) - [Hilarious Mixed Nuts Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantersallorone-debate.md) - [Social-First Snack Comedies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretzelized.md)
