@H M It is about a peach. Actually, it might be interesting to see what Peter might write for a children's book. I know that he does have children, so he does have some experience.
Yep. I just commented the same thing. He got lucky and was able to use this scene to channel a lifetime of pentup rage against people who messed with him.
@allys744 That's right, it was very funny. Buddy did the same thing to the racoon in the beginning of the movie putting his arms out where the racoon hissed at him causing him to back away at first but then continued trying to hug the racoon. Perhaps if Mr. Miles hissed at him, maybe Buddy would have backed away but only thought Mr. Miles ran to him to hug him.
@@cadefilms4072 That's correct. Since Buddy thought Mr. Miles was an elf, he thought Mr. Miles was running up to him to hug him. Perhaps maybe Walter should have said "Buddy, he's a midget and not an elf and some humans are born shorter and they're called midgets." After that Walter could have said "I'm sorry Mr. Miles, he's been living in the North Pole his whole life with other elves which is why he called you one."
Dwarves usually are very good at attracting women, with their reputation of having a third leg as long as the other two legs (lol). Remember in Austin Power's Goldmember in the scene with Mini Me (Verne Troyer) and Michael Caine's character saying about dwarves, they're Tripods!
What perfect writing, directing and acting in this scene. I love how Buddy's complete and utter innocence reads as the meanest condescension, particularly that "Is that riiiiiiight?" eyebrow raise he does. Ba ha ha! Classic.
I like to imagine that they simply gave Peter Dinklage his lines without telling him one bit about Will Ferrel's character, and then they just let the whole thing play out.
@@Cedar_Wolf “Hey so we know you probably hate short jokes, but check this out; We’re gonna have Will Ferrell come in dressed like an elf straight from Santa’s workshop, and you’re just gonna whoop his ass. Sound like fun?”
PLOT TWIST: Dinklage, infuriated with Ferrell’s changing of the script and insulting of his figure, attacks the actor and storms out of the set. James Caan, bring the professional he is, just yells “Miles!” instead of “Peter!” as he leaves so they can still use the scene.
Buddy was pretty damn stupid for continuing to push Miles Finch, even after not only his dad made it more than clear that he was disrupting an important meeting, and not only after Miles himself warned him that he better stop, but even after Miles attacked him and said "call me elf one more time!!!". I really understood James Cann's (Buddy's dad's) reaction after Miles stormed out. I still found it funny when Buddy said "he must be a South Pole elf"
@@Conor2496Considering his upbringing of being raised around elves it makes sense why he thought Miles was an elf rather then a dwarf though unfortunately Miles doesn’t know this meaning from his point of view Buddy is mocking his dwarfism and just will not stop. So it’s hard to blame him for getting so pissed off. I also at least partially blame Santa Claus for not telling Buddy that not every short person is an elf as well.
The reason this scene works is because neither of them knows why the other is doing what they're doing. Finch is understandably mad at Buddy for being unintentionally ableist and doesn't know that he's a legit elf, and Buddy thinks he found someone from the North Pole and is confused as to why Finch is beating him up
I found out something very interesting about Peter Dinklage. In his entire movie career not once has he ever done any typical dwarf roles. According to him being a dwarf actor is extremely hard when you're trying to land serious roles. He was picky. He worked hard. And eventually he landed the roles he wanted to. Which eventually led him to becoming the number one most popular dwarf in Hollywood. Dave Acuna is ranked second. And Brad Williams is third.
Narnia ??? that's pretty stereotypical dwarf role right there if there ever was one. Just saying. But y eah, Peter has worked very hard. He's good in everything he does. You can tell he takes acting very seriously.
@@slewone4905 but it's not a stereotypical dwarf role. Tyrion is clever, a capable player of the political game despite being belittled by many other characters for what he is.
@@CovidVirginThey're right about the first part. The joke is about a condition that someone can't change, and how it's apparently funny and ok to laugh at someone who deals with it. Treating people like they're walking jokes over something they can't control *is* bigotry.
If He Told That To Me I Would Tell Him This. Fine I'll Get Out Of Your Life. But Before I Do. I Just Want To Say You Are A Horrible Person Who Cares About Nothing But Your Job And Self. If Your Gonna Keep Caring About Yourself And Not Others Like Your Family Then You Are No Longer My Father. Goodbye Walter!
Apparently there is some truth to this scene as Peter is known to be firmly against these kinds of stereotypes. I know its just acting, but I think he put some of his own emotions into this scene.
Considering how Buddy did albeit unwittingly cost him a golden opportunity that could have helped him with his business troubles and he had only known his long lost son for a few weeks not to mention the implied bad memories he had with his previous wife you can’t entirely blame him for snapping at Buddy like that
Peter Dinklage is seriously one of the best actors out there. For anyone who hasn't seen The Station Agent, he;s wonderful in it. His gesture and face here after "call me an elf ONE more time" are just perfect.
Miles and Walter were both unintentionally sympathetic in this scene. Miles was basically being relentlessly mocked for his disability, something he had to work really hard to overcome, and Walter, as a result, had to helplessly watch a huge deal derail, which put him in danger of losing his job. Plus the fact that both of them repeatedly told Buddy to knock it off, but he just wouldn't stop. Therefore, you can't really blame either one of them for snapping the way they did.
True. Buddy may not have known that being called "Elf" is offensive to some, but he does understand to leave when his father asks him to. So he could've just gone back to the mail room. On top of everything else that was stressing out Walter, you can see why this incident made him finally snap
True while Buddy wasn’t trying to be insensitive since having grown up around elves most of his life it makes sense why he would think Miles was an elf, he didn’t get the hint that he should have stopped even though he was told to leave the room and Miles gave him plenty of warnings to stop he didn’t do that for some reason you can’t entirely blame either of them for losing it since as far as Miles is aware Buddy is mocking his dwarfism and just won’t knock it off even though he gave him several warnings to stop though getting physical with him was taking it too far and Walter having put up with Buddy’s weird behavior for weeks and having a potentially golden opportunity being unwittingly ruined by him that could have helped him out of his business troubles, it’s no wonder why he snapped and said some hurtful things in the heat of the moment though he did go a little too far in what he said. So yeah both had every right to be angry but they did not handle it in the best way possible.
To be fair, Miles should have understood that there was something "off" about Buddy. It goes both ways. If someone lacks the capacity to grasp their actions and you have reason to know, you shouldn't use that as an excuse to take your anger out onto them. Buddy acted like a man-child and his father's reaction made it clear that the former wasn't fully aware of what was going on. It's not really Buddy's fault: he grew up in an extremely sheltered environment where no one really bore ill-will against anyone else. Further, Buddy made no effort to fight back and looked scared and confused. This is yet more evidence against Miles' behavior under the circumstances.
I think his reaction was rather understandable. If you see a fully grown man straight up calling this guy an elf and spouting out stuff about Santa, you'd be wanting to woop his ass too.
Peter Dinklage actually talked about why he was okay with this scene but not Snow White and the Dwarfs. For one, they made his character a player. Who's size does not affect his personality/ability to get girls. He also fights back, not laughing once at anything Buddy says. The movie made a point to show that Buddy was being offensive in a comedic spin
was he ok with this scene because most short people like Peter Dinklage don't like the nick names like elf, dwarf, midget or anything that insults them and he was right about the snowwhite reboot
Miles was saying at the meeting that there's one idea he's completely psyched about, and he also says "no farms, everyone's pushing small town rural", yet when those guys find his notebook later, they're really excited about his psyched idea and saying that it's a peach on a farm.
@@awesomeninja9178 I came up with a theory now on why Miles said "no farms" to the other guys' farm ideas but had an idea himself about a peach on a farm, it's that Miles really just didn't want to use someone else's ideas, he only wanted to use his own. But he didn't want to tell the other guys that so he just blew off their ideas by simply saying "no farms". I'm not sure what Miles' response would've been if the other guys questioned Miles directly about why he can use a farm idea but they can't, because before Miles could even pitch his peach idea, that idiot in the elf costume barged in and ruined their meeting and Miles (rightfully) kicked his ass, and then stormed out
@@alvexok5523 I think Miles would o been annoyed that buddy interuped the meeting but it;s when buddy kept callimg Miles a elf thats when he got pissed, kicked buddys ass and left in anger
@@filmtheory783 So could I. It's really annoying actually the way Buddy continued to so deliberately ignore James Cain and Miles when telling him to stop interrupting them and calling Miles an elf. Buddy wasn't that stupid where he couldn't understand what they were telling him, he just chose to not care, and didn't care until after Miles left and Cain yelled at him to get out of his life.
For me, the funniest character in this scene is actually Buddy. Like, he’s just so genuinely ignorant that he has zero idea he’s coming across as condescending. He legitimately thinks he’s being nice and asking genuine questions 😂
I don't know why but seeing Peter Dinklage acting is always such a joy especially when he is doing roles in comedy and drama where he has so much depth
That wasn't really racist, I'm guessing that Buddy was just probably implying that the South Pole elves don't have any of the happiness and good cheer of the North Pole elves who are with Santa, the reindeer, and all the Christmas spirit and the South Pole doesn't have any of that.
Allen Richards But he's also equating violence to South Pole elves. That is very politically incorrect. Even positive stereotypes can be offensive, for that matter.
@eljordinio7647 That's true but, Buddy didn't know any better since he's been living in the North Pole all his life from infant, to toddler, to child, to adult and leaving the North Pole as a human adult showed that he didn't know what a midget was and only assumed any small human was an elf.
@@jamessparkman6604 You can’t entirely blame him since from his point of view Buddy was mocking his dwarfism and just would not knock it off even though he gave him several warnings to stop since he is not aware that Buddy was raised by elves though getting physical with him was taking it too far.
Miles may have overreacted, but can you really blame him considering he thought Buddy was poking fun at his dwarfism? Likewise, Walter may have been in the wrong for taking his anger out on Buddy, but given that Buddy did ruin Walter’s last chance of saving his business, Walter has every right to be pissed off.
@@johncook1997 but buddys his son & he thinks his precious damn jobs more important. he realizes buddy is when michael tells him he ran away & quits anyway when greenway lets him go. walter was soooo damn selfish till that scene
What do you mean they have anger issues? If you didn’t notice violence was not the first thing Miles resorted to. He was in fact very calm about it at the start and brushed it off as a harmless joke. It wasn’t until he wouldn’t stop after being told numerous times to do so that he snapped. Walters anger is also very justifiable. This was a big business deal that could’ve saved his company but a bumbling idiot who he’s only known for a short amount of time just came in and ruined it. It may not have been what buddy was intending to do. But that doesn’t change the fact that he did it. Do I blame buddy? No I don’t but I also don’t blame Miles or Walter for being angry.
I always imagined that Miles Finch's line "I get more action in a week than you've had your entire life" is probably true between Peter Dinklage and Will Ferrell.

2:47. Miles demands trial by combat.
3:09. A Lannister sorry elf always pays his debts.
Haha
When Walter said, “Just get out of my life. Now!!” That sent Buddy in tears.
that would hurt any son if you family member said that to you
That's just rough. No one should disown their kid like that
@@eljordinio7647 Unless they're an annoying retard like Buddy, who stalks women in showers and insults men with dwarfism.
Yes. That is what happens in the movie
Considering how Buddy did albeit unwittingly cost him a golden opportunity that could have helped him with his business troubles and he had only known his long lost son for a few weeks not to mention the implied bad memories he had with his previous wife you can’t entirely blame him for snapping at Buddy like that

Peter Dinklage is seriously one of the best actors out there. For anyone who hasn't seen The Station Agent, he;s wonderful in it. His gesture and face here after "call me an elf ONE more time" are just perfect.
@Jake-vy2bh Peter Dinklage was also great on the movie "The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian" where his name was Trumpkin on that movie.
He amazing in X men days of future past
He did such a great job in the station agent
Also in Game of Thrones and Infinity War
Of all the great actors in GOT, he had the best line delivery, and off-line expressions
A Lannister always pays his debt
Wait a minute that Huey in the blue shirt and black vest is the same guy from pixels
Of course, he is Peter Dinklage!! Don’t mess with Tyrion Lannister or Sonny Corleone!!
"He's an angry elf" OMG I laughed so hard at that line!!!! And throughout the whole scene ;D
I said a bad word when Miles came charging at Buddy like an angry bull.
The Asparagus guy gets me every time 😂 The confidence in his Suggestion had me Deeeaad lol
Miles and Walter were both unintentionally sympathetic in this scene. Miles was basically being relentlessly mocked for his disability, something he had to work really hard to overcome, and Walter, as a result, had to helplessly watch a huge deal derail, which put him in danger of losing his job. Plus the fact that both of them repeatedly told Buddy to knock it off, but he just wouldn't stop. Therefore, you can't really blame either one of them for snapping the way they did.
True. Buddy may not have known that being called "Elf" is offensive to some, but he does understand to leave when his father asks him to. So he could've just gone back to the mail room. On top of everything else that was stressing out Walter, you can see why this incident made him finally snap
True while Buddy wasn’t trying to be insensitive since having grown up around elves most of his life it makes sense why he would think Miles was an elf, he didn’t get the hint that he should have stopped even though he was told to leave the room and Miles gave him plenty of warnings to stop he didn’t do that for some reason you can’t entirely blame either of them for losing it since as far as Miles is aware Buddy is mocking his dwarfism and just won’t knock it off even though he gave him several warnings to stop though getting physical with him was taking it too far and Walter having put up with Buddy’s weird behavior for weeks and having a potentially golden opportunity being unwittingly ruined by him that could have helped him out of his business troubles, it’s no wonder why he snapped and said some hurtful things in the heat of the moment though he did go a little too far in what he said. So yeah both had every right to be angry but they did not handle it in the best way possible.
To be fair, Miles should have understood that there was something "off" about Buddy. It goes both ways. If someone lacks the capacity to grasp their actions and you have reason to know, you shouldn't use that as an excuse to take your anger out onto them. Buddy acted like a man-child and his father's reaction made it clear that the former wasn't fully aware of what was going on. It's not really Buddy's fault: he grew up in an extremely sheltered environment where no one really bore ill-will against anyone else. Further, Buddy made no effort to fight back and looked scared and confused. This is yet more evidence against Miles' behavior under the circumstances.
"He's an Elf!"

he doesn't know anything about that
@@jaisenweaver9341 His father told him to stop, but he refused to listen
itsjemmabond he loved he’s in tire life being an elf,so that’s why he was so weird
@@afanofcupheadfnafandundert857 exactly. He'd been raised by them, so he didn't think anything of it, really.
True since from Miles Finch’s point of view he was insulting his dwarfism and just wouldn’t knock it off so you can’t entirely blame him there.
I think his reaction was rather understandable. If you see a fully grown man straight up calling this guy an elf and spouting out stuff about Santa, you'd be wanting to woop his ass too.
Yeah when you take the context out of the film, Buddy looks like a full blown bully.

You may have passed on, but your legacy will never wear away.
He will be missed
Hahahahaha, love how he drop kicks Buddy and then Buddy says "He must have been a South Pole elf."
I love it when he's running on the table and Buddy puts his arms out and he's all like "Look at you!"
Peter Dinklage actually talked about why he was okay with this scene but not Snow White and the Dwarfs. For one, they made his character a player. Who's size does not affect his personality/ability to get girls. He also fights back, not laughing once at anything Buddy says. The movie made a point to show that Buddy was being offensive in a comedic spin
was he ok with this scene because most short people like Peter Dinklage don't like the nick names like elf, dwarf, midget or anything that insults them and he was right about the snowwhite reboot
Miles was saying at the meeting that there's one idea he's completely psyched about, and he also says "no farms, everyone's pushing small town rural", yet when those guys find his notebook later, they're really excited about his psyched idea and saying that it's a peach on a farm.
kinda odd hes like "no farm!" *has a book about a peach on a farm"
@@awesomeninja9178 I came up with a theory now on why Miles said "no farms" to the other guys' farm ideas but had an idea himself about a peach on a farm, it's that Miles really just didn't want to use someone else's ideas, he only wanted to use his own. But he didn't want to tell the other guys that so he just blew off their ideas by simply saying "no farms".
I'm not sure what Miles' response would've been if the other guys questioned Miles directly about why he can use a farm idea but they can't, because before Miles could even pitch his peach idea, that idiot in the elf costume barged in and ruined their meeting and Miles (rightfully) kicked his ass, and then stormed out
@@alvexok5523 I think Miles would o been annoyed that buddy interuped the meeting but it;s when buddy kept callimg Miles a elf thats when he got pissed, kicked buddys ass and left in anger
@@alvexok5523 "that idiot in a elf costume" dude your pretty funny I could see patrick star saying that
@@filmtheory783 So could I. It's really annoying actually the way Buddy continued to so deliberately ignore James Cain and Miles when telling him to stop interrupting them and calling Miles an elf. Buddy wasn't that stupid where he couldn't understand what they were telling him, he just chose to not care, and didn't care until after Miles left and Cain yelled at him to get out of his life.
Will Ferrell was very lucky that he didn't have a crossbow
I love how Miles says no to farms and yet his top idea is about a peach on a farm. I wonder if the director kept that in as a joke?
yeah, his hypocrisy is intentional
@@scottmatheson3346 Maybe it was an old idea he later rejected or just wrote it out of laziness.
For me, the funniest character in this scene is actually Buddy. Like, he’s just so genuinely ignorant that he has zero idea he’s coming across as condescending. He legitimately thinks he’s being nice and asking genuine questions 😂
He is pretty dumb, he seriously didn’t heard of dwarfism during his life, how Santa raised him for him being so dumb
That intense music as Miles is walking into the conference room always gives me chills.
Peter Dinklage is beyond awesome!
Waaaay beyond
I guess Miles Finch is a specialist in short stories. :)
oh wow, you're hilarious my friend.
Everyone who makes a joke about a dwarf's height thinks he is the first person ever to make a joke about a dwarf's height.
I don't know why but seeing Peter Dinklage acting is always such a joy especially when he is doing roles in comedy and drama where he has so much depth
3:36, Will Ferrell gets yelled at
"He must be a South Pole elf..."
Das racist
*Ding*
That wasn't really racist, I'm guessing that Buddy was just probably implying that the South Pole elves don't have any of the happiness and good cheer of the North Pole elves who are with Santa, the reindeer, and all the Christmas spirit and the South Pole doesn't have any of that.
Allen Richards But he's also equating violence to South Pole elves. That is very politically incorrect. Even positive stereotypes can be offensive, for that matter.
Cult Boy who cares it’s just a movie.
Tod TheBabyHusky But movies influence how the masses think. You can't just encourage discrimination like that.
Peter Dinklage's and Kyle Gass's face expressions crack me up at this scene every time.
Lesson learned. Never call anyone with dwarfism an elf
@eljordinio7647 That's true but, Buddy didn't know any better since he's been living in the North Pole all his life from infant, to toddler, to child, to adult and leaving the North Pole as a human adult showed that he didn't know what a midget was and only assumed any small human was an elf.
"I get more action in a week than you've had your entire life." Yes we know Tyrion, we've seen the show. Lol
Tyrion..... IS THAT YOU?!
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
HOLY SHIT
No, its The Imp
I can't blame the dwarf for attacking Buddy. Even though Buddy was not meant to be offensive the dwarf understandably was quite right to be insulted!
+rstein926 The dwarf has a name.
+rstein926 Everyone called him Miles in this film. Call him Miles.
so it was wrong for Buddy to call him an elf?
He should be called as the Imp.
His name is Miles
The perfect reason why we should never make fun of dwarfism!
Miles: Call me elf one more time
Buddy: He is an angry elf
Miles: (gets on the table)
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Miles: Call me elf one more time! Call me elf!
Buddy: You're an elf.
Miles: (tosses Buddy into a wall)
Miles is kind of rude to buddy
@@jamessparkman6604 You can’t entirely blame him since from his point of view Buddy was mocking his dwarfism and just would not knock it off even though he gave him several warnings to stop since he is not aware that Buddy was raised by elves though getting physical with him was taking it too far.
@@Mario87456 that’s true
So buddy brought it all on himself

Timeless classic. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
Merry Christmas
miles has anger issues & so does walter
Those are actually Tyrion Lannister and Sunny Corrleone from the Godfather.
Miles maybe went a bit too far but he has a right to be angry.
Miles may have overreacted, but can you really blame him considering he thought Buddy was poking fun at his dwarfism?
Likewise, Walter may have been in the wrong for taking his anger out on Buddy, but given that Buddy did ruin Walter’s last chance of saving his business, Walter has every right to be pissed off.
@@johncook1997 but buddys his son & he thinks his precious damn jobs more important. he realizes buddy is when michael tells him he ran away & quits anyway when greenway lets him go. walter was soooo damn selfish till that scene
What do you mean they have anger issues? If you didn’t notice violence was not the first thing Miles resorted to. He was in fact very calm about it at the start and brushed it off as a harmless joke. It wasn’t until he wouldn’t stop after being told numerous times to do so that he snapped. Walters anger is also very justifiable. This was a big business deal that could’ve saved his company but a bumbling idiot who he’s only known for a short amount of time just came in and ruined it. It may not have been what buddy was intending to do. But that doesn’t change the fact that he did it. Do I blame buddy? No I don’t but I also don’t blame Miles or Walter for being angry.
I think I would legitimately enjoy reading a book about a tribe of asparagus children... Just saying
I always imagined that Miles Finch's line "I get more action in a week than you've had your entire life" is probably true between Peter Dinklage and Will Ferrell.
Most likely.
You had 6 years to write that book yourself did you do it?!
3:28 even seeing this scene as a kid I was like, “woah, that was heavy”
rip james caan
I just love Peter Dinklage. Best part of GoT.
This is as close as we're ever gonna get to a Mad Men/Game of Thrones cross-over Christmas themed episode. Co-starring Will Farrell and James Cann.
I swear this has to be the best Christmas movie. Everything about it is just so perfect.
If you think about it, in a way this def had to be a platform for Dinklage to let out a lifetime of pent up rage against people who laughed at him.
