Will Ferrell has landed in hot water after making an online video clip featuring a two-year-old girl swearing and demanding alcohol.The 'Anchorman' star made the short comedy sketch - posted on FunnyorDie.com - with director and co-writer friend Adam McKay's daughter Pearl.Ferrell plays a lay-about in the film while the sweet, innocent toddler plays a drunk, cursing landlady demanding her rent.Pearl says "b***h", "c**p" and "a**-h**e" and claims to be "buzzed" while clutching a bottle of beer.The clip has infuriated some viewers, but McKay has leapt to the defence of the comic star.McKay told People magazine: "Fortunately she is in this great stage now where she repeats anything you say to her and then forgets it right away, which is key."She has not said the 'B-word' since we shot the thing. We invited a friend with a camera over and shot it in about 45 minutes."We shot several shorts but we liked this one the best. I am not sure that it is the funniest - it is just that you can't beat Will being cursed out by a two-year-old."
In an 'email interview', believed to have been written by McKay, Pearl said: "I two-years-old. But when I wear my Dora shirt I look one-and-a-half.
"I like to put my hands in the fountain. I watch Wonderpets. I like to buy old houses and flip them for a profit so I can buy boxes of Gallo wine.
"Will Ferrell no pay rent. I want my money. That's why I mad."
McKay - who has two daughters with his wife of 11 years, actress Shira Piven, sister of 'Entourage' star Jeremy Piven - set up FunnyorDie.com for his friends to showcase comedy sketches.
He directed and co-wrote 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy' and 'Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby' with Ferrell.
