Is this Ferrell video funny?

I heard Will Ferrell released this video this week, and, being a huge Ferrell fan, immediately went to YouTube to find it. After a few views, I can't quite decide what I think of it. I definitely find the concept funny, but there is something disturbing about seeing it carried out. I don't know ... anyway, I'm interested to hear what other people think. I could go either way.

While I don't condone babies swearing or babies carrying around beer or babies being subjected to Will Ferrell's hideous shorts...this was hilarious.

I saw this last week too and nearly peed myself when he first opened the door to reveal the baby. Priceless. Disturbing, but priceless.

I saw this a few days ago and was rather disturbed by it until someone pointed out that they probably didn't teach the baby to say all those things, just used a voice-over. Now that I feel better about tainting a poor kid's mind in the name of comedy, I love it.

I've been persuaded that it's funny ... although, Jen, they DID teach the baby to say those things. For more on that, see this article: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20035511,00.html (thanks Brad!)

Teach is kind of a strong word. If you read the article, it sounds like the kid just parrots back whatever is said to her, then she forgets it. She's not really learning anything.
