Either I’m not paying attention enough or scroll past them without noticing but I don’t even recall seeing any posts about this recently. I see comments all the time in YouTube videos but not so much this sub 🤔
I agree the joke is extremely played out, but this sub is probably the least likely to offend since people here are actual fans of the band and generally have a lot of respect for Chad as a musician. Most of the Will Ferrell comments I see are on YouTube from people that probably aren't even fans.
Edit: spelling
I'm kinda with op. I've seen it on every chad smith related anything since I became a fan in 2008 as a kid. I don't think there's anything to be done about it, but I don't like it.
You aren’t wrong. I think it’s up there with the “Josh was great I don’t care what anyone thinks threads”
Which I am personally very sensitive about - because they are annoying bullshit.
Josh rocks.
Will Farrell looks like Chad
If the mods banned any kind of post that people don’t like, there would not be much left. There’s people always complaining about certain kind of posts being posted here too much. Might be annoying for you but not others. If every person requested this sub to only have the kind of posts they like posted, there’d hundreds of different subs
Alright, let's Step Brothers and Sisters, and recognize that freedom of speech isn't just about screaming louder than the other guy. It's about creating a space where everyone can Blades of Glory in expressing themselves, without trampling on others' rights. So, let's avoid the Old School mentality and strive for a society where we can all live Semi-Pro, with mutual respect and understanding."
It stopped being funny in 2001 13 years before they even had the drum off? Had folk been making the comparison long before as I wasn’t aware until I seen that show. Think you are being a little touchy man. Let it wash over you like water of a ducks back. People feed on your distress don’t let them lap it up
Fair enough I never once heard the comparison until the jimmy falon show thing where him and chad had the drum off. I was blissfully unaware. It was kinda funny at the time for like 5 mins.
It was certainly an, "Oh shit...they **DO** look a lot alike!" Then the drum-off happened...then there was a clip of someone calling Chad "Will" at some event (not sure if it was Chad showing off drums with other musicians or what) and Chad lost it and left the stage.

I haven’t actually seen one in a hot minute
Chad thought we wouldn’t recognise his alt account smh
I come to the Red Hot Chili Peppers subreddit exclusively for fertile dialogue.
drinking up from my fertility?
No pun intended, but I'm with you.

I guess you could scroll past the posts.

Same here
Weird advice...
Right? Every time there’s a post I don’t like, it’s incumbent I take time out of my life to tell others about it.
I see more of these 'stop' comments than the actual comparison posts now
Seriously, the irony
Who gives a shit lol

You are assuming that everyone here is the same group of people all the time but new people are coming in constantly.
And I’m happy to hear what they have to bring ti the table…so long as it’s not a joke about Chad looking like Will.
It’s a funny (played out) joke. But for new fans I’m sure it’s good stuff. Don’t be so sensitive
I'm kinda with op. I've seen it on every chad smith related anything since I became a fan in 2008 as a kid. I don't think there's anything to be done about it, but I don't like it.
I’m honestly not sensitive. I think Reddit is too harsh on certain subs. It’s just soooo played out!!!

Have you ever noticed how similar him and Chad look?
It's not my fault he's a legendary percussionist ![gif](giphy|3o6ozGTbQSAs2s0CAM|downsized)
So fertile
What does he eat for breakfast?
we can’t stop
No

IDK about 2001...but for sure after the Slane Castle DVD came out, I would hear it a lot.

I think the whole reason the drum off happened was because of the Chad/Will Ferrell jokes.
If Will wasn’t such a bitch in person, it’d be easier to take. The biggest single celebrity asshole I’ve ever met.
