Will Forte, the talented comedic actor and writer, has shared a hilarious story about the time he faked his own death as part of a prank on his unsuspecting mother. The story is a perfect example of how comedy can sometimes go awry, but ultimately teach us valuable lessons.

The Prank That Went Horribly Wrong

According to Will Forte, the prank involved writing a note on a piece of paper saying “I’m sorry, Mom” and leaving it at the front door of his house. He then lay down on his mother’s bathroom floor, pretending to be dead. The reaction from his mother was immediate and intense, as she let out a blood-curdling scream when she realized her son was not actually deceased. The prank was so bad that Will Forte even admitted that it was an “awful” story, and he wasn’t even sure if he wanted to share it with the world. However, he eventually opened up about the experience, explaining that it taught him a valuable lesson about the importance of considering other people’s feelings. “I have an awful one. Ugh. I’m not even going to tell it,” Will said, as the host Sean Evans urged him to reconsider. However, Will eventually relented and shared the story, revealing that it was a “horrible” experience that he would never repeat.

Lessons Learned from Comedy

Despite the prank going horribly wrong, Will Forte drew a positive lesson from the experience. He realized that not everything is funny, and that there are certain topics or subjects that should be avoided in comedy. “It was a good lesson, though. It did teach you, ‘Not everything is funny. There are things that hurt people,'” Will said. He also emphasized the importance of considering other people’s feelings and being respectful in his comedy.

Spicy Food Fiasco

Will Forte also shared a hilarious story about a time when he ate spicy food and suffered a painful consequence. During a charity event at a hospital in Kansas City, he ate a final wing and then failed to wash his hands afterwards. The result was a painful burning sensation in his penis. “At the Big Slick in Kansas City, it’s a charity show you know, which benefits Children’s Mercy Hospital. You come out sometimes and you will do a version of the show Hot Ones,” Will explained. He then proceeded to describe the painful experience he endured, which he humorously referred to as a “fucking volcano.”
“I learned a lesson,” Will said. “I learned that eye lesson but it’s also a penis lesson.” He emphasized the importance of washing your hands after eating spicy food, a lesson that he wished he had learned earlier.

Conclusion

Will Forte’s stories about his pranks and mishaps are a perfect example of how comedy can sometimes go awry, but ultimately teach us valuable lessons. By sharing his experiences and drawing lessons from them, Will has demonstrated the importance of considering other people’s feelings and being respectful in comedy.
