A resident of Southern California, Will Ferrell is well known for showing off his passion for the region’s professional sports teams. In particular, of late, Ferrell is a fixture at Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings — since both squads are in the playoffs at the same time.
With the Kings battling the Edmonton Oilers, Ferrell recently broke out some crazy face Kings-inspired face paint to show his love for his favorite hockey team. It’s cool to see such commitment from him, but there’s just one problem:
Oilers fans noticed Ferrell’s recent elaborate face paint and recreated it to a tee on Tuesday night:

If that weren’t enough salt in the wound for Ferrell, the Oilers have won the last two games — while scoring “face” goals — to take a 3-2 series lead and put the Kings on the brink of elimination. So, fans troll Ferrell’s face paint, and his team is losing the series. Brutal!
