Along with Talladega Nights and Semi-Pro, Blades of Glory is part of an unofficial trilogy of mid-2000s Will Ferrell sports comedies. In this one, Ferrell portrays Chazz Michael Michaels, a washed-up, down-on-his-luck figure skater who attempts a comeback by becoming half of the first all-male duo in pairs figure skating history, teaming up with his his former rival, Jimmy MacElroy (played by Napoleon Dynamite himself, Jon Heder).
As is often the case with a Ferrell comedy, the supporting cast is filled with some of the most formidable comic actors around, including Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, and Rob Corddry. In this sequence, Ferrell and Corddry enjoy a mini-showdown off the ice, and neither actor can get through it without laughing. In one take, Ferrell tries to exit and makes a sound effect with his mouth...before realizing what he did, and that he should leave that up to post. He comments, "I shouldn't do the sound effect, should I?" Other bits that make Ferrell and Corddry laugh and have to take it again from the top: Corddry tells Ferrell he smells "like urine," and Corddry tells Ferrell he'd fire him if he "weren't so g****** beautiful."
