Top 10 Funniest Dan Levy Moments

Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 Funniest Dan Levy Moments.

For this list, we’ll be looking at those moments where Dan Levy put that signature charm – and those eyebrows – to good use.

Let us know if we missed any of your favorite iconic moments below!

#10: Eyebrow Jokes
“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (2015-)

If they’re known for anything, those Levy men are known for those brows. Those genetics don’t lie, and most interviewers can’t help but ask Dan or Eugene about their brow game. This interview with Stephen Colbert covers many topics – how Dan felt about growing up with a famous father, how he likes to embarrass Eugene on “Schitt’s Creek” – but the funniest bit comes towards the beginning of the interview when Dan is comparing his brows to those of his father. Not only does Dan give us excellent use of the term “in flagrante,” but he lets us in on a few trimming tips as well. Anything to avoid “unbridled hair growth coming out of the face”

#9: Subbing for Ellen
“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” (2003-)

Ah, we love seeing Canadians in Hollywood! Ellen has had plenty of celebrities fill in for her over the years when she needs a day off, but none have been quite so delightful as Dan and Eugene. Not only are they excellent hosts, but also they’re interviewing none other than their “Schitt’s Creek” co-stars Catherine O’Hara and Annie Murphy. Plenty of hilarious topics are broached, but our favorites are how dogs wear pants, Eugene’s best ‘70s looks, and Annie’s wacky first L.A. roommate – and Dan is hosting his way through it like a pro.

#8: “SNL” Monologue
“Saturday Night Live” (1975-)

When Dan finally got the chance to host SNL, did you really expect his monologue to be anything but hysterical? There are so many great sketches here, but Dan somehow manages to be the perfect combination of funny, snarky and endearing during his monologue as he leads the viewer on a COVID protocol-inspired tour backstage. While it’s funny to watch Dan get smacked with a pool noodle, and the “Eugene Levy in a box” bit is hilarious, nothing quite beats an early moment in Dan’s monologue when he talks about Alexis’s iconic “Ews!” on “Schitt’s Creek.” Don’t mind us: we’ll just be imagining strangers screaming “EW” at Dan Levy on the street until the end of time.

#7: Freaking Out Over Mariah Carey
“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (2015-)

As any true Dan Levy fan knows, no one loves Mariah Carey more than Dan Levy loves Mariah Carey. And there are so many examples of just how much. When Queen Mariah joined the Schitt’s Creek 2020 commencement video, Dan’s look of shock and then subsequent “I think I’m having a heart attack” – all in character, of course – were a real treat. But the humor in this particular 2019 story on Stephen Colbert lies in the fact that it’s so relatable. Who among us couldn’t imagine ourselves trying not to scream in a taxi because our favorite celebrity – perhaps Dan Levy himself – tweeted us? Congratulations on Mariah Carey, Dan!

#6: Hot Wings
“Hot Ones” (2015-)

“I’m feeling kinda panicky!” Us too, Dan! It’s about to get spicy in here. On the YouTube series “Hot Ones,” your favorite celebrities answer questions while eating progressively hotter wings. A simple premise that usually yields incredible results – and Dan’s episode was no exception. Not only did we get lovely little behind the scenes tidbits, such as the fact that Dan had to drink quite a bit of prosecco so he could loosen up enough to dance to “Simply the Best,” but as the wings get hotter, the reactions get funnier. Dan’s parting line – “I can’t say it was entirely enjoyable, but I had a great time.” – certainly sums it up.

#5: David Rose Runs Away to the Amish
“Schitt’s Creek” (2015-20)

David Rose is nothing if not a drama queen. When he finds out the Rose family will NOT be leaving Schitt’s Creek – as previously thought – he hits a breaking point and disappears for three days. Where did he run off to, might you ask? Probably somewhere glamorous, right? Wrong. The rest of the Roses end up finding David plopped down right in the middle of an Amish field. Not only is the surprise hilarious, but also the revelation that he didn’t just disappear – he told Alexis where he was going – gives us this great line: “I’m sorry for not responding to like, ONE text David!” Fortunately, the Amish gave him back, but we’ll be laughing at this for a while.

#4: Teaching Eugene Levy Youth Slang
Vanity Fair

Is that how the kids are saying it these days? Maybe if our dad was Eugene Levy, teaching him the cool slang of the day would be funny instead of a chore. This video is a delight the whole way through. The conflict between Dan’s trendy nature and Eugene’s stodginess – all for the bit, of course! – really shines in a wonderful way. Watching Dan trying to keep himself from laughing is funny enough, but if we do say so ourselves, Eugene wasn’t wrong about a lot of these? Adam, quite literally, WAS the original bae. And maybe we should start saying “Wha Gu.” Wha gu with you?

#3: “Behind These Hazel Eyes” Cameo
“The Kelly Clarkson Show” (2019-20)

Every actor has to get their start somewhere. For Dan, that somewhere was in the music video for Kelly Clarkson’s angsty pop anthem, “Behind These Hazel Eyes.” Dan’s retelling of how Kelly almost died – there was a whole running and stair falling situation – is pretty hysterical on its own, but the best part of the interview comes when Kelly plays the video. Dan shouting out “There I am…..There I am!” as his blurry, bespectacled face passes through the background of the shot is extremely relatable for anyone who’s ever been in the background of something cool. We see you, Dan. We see you.

#2: Zillow
“Saturday Night Live” (1975-)

In your late 30s? Sex not really doing it for you anymore? Don’t despair: Dan Levy and the rest of the SNL cast have the solution. During his stint on the late night show, one of the skits put together involved an ad for Zillow, but shot like it’s an ad for the dating app, Tinder. Hot stuff. Everyone in this ad has their time to shine, but the way Dan purrs out the line “I’d never live in North Carolina, but if I did, I could buy a big...gross...mansion” is iconic. If the man can make sexy real estate funny, is there anything he can’t do?

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

#1: Fold in the Cheese
“Schitt’s Creek” (2015-20)

Say it with us … Fold in the cheese! On this episode of “Schitt’s Creek,” Moira and David attempt making enchiladas and hit some speed bumps along the way. These two have plenty of hilarious moments on the show – whether it be performing their famous “number” or getting drunk at a winery together – but even after all this time, nothing quite beats “fold in the cheese.” Dan has amazing lines throughout – “Can you show me one thing?” always gets us laughing. So, what does “fold in the cheese” actually mean? The world may never know!
